had to agitate to get it published and here is my third letter on israeli crimes following two others in the previous two months;

Niemoeller said, “First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I was neither, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew, so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.” 

“I spent thirty-three years and four months in active military service as a member of this country’s most agile military force, the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-General. And during that period, I spent most of my time being a high class muscleman for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism.”- two time medal of honor winner, general Smedley Butler 

Nothing has changed since Butler’s days. We attack anyone we want and justify it on our own authority. We support any of ‘our friends’ doing the same as we now see in Palestine. We vote for peace, and we get war.

We, America, the empire, aren’t who we tell ourselves we are. Integrity in means and ends defines a country and its inhabitants. A noble goal cannot be achieved utilizing dishonorable means. You are what you do and not what you tell yourselves you are. Imagine what we could become if we gave up being the global bully and became their best friend. A lot of funds would be free from the five sided fun house on the Potomac for things like trains, functional air control systems and so much more...........more........
