The gossips and the partisans will kill us all at this rate

Where do they get their information? These idiots playing partisan games?

ISIS was created in 2004 after Bush invaded Iraq.
Bush destroyed the economy, Obama kept us from sliding into a Depression.
We have been close to war with N. Korea since 1952. Nothing has changed.
Reagan traded weapons for terrorists. 
"We" as a collective, are not great.

ISIS was formed in Jordan in 1999, according to most experts. Why would you claim otherwise? Not because you care about Iraq. If you cared about Iraq, for example, right now you'd be Tweeting about the alarming attacks on women and people assumed to be LGBTQ.

OCULAR NERVOSA can Tweet about Dr. Who, toys, Ariana Grande, repeatedly about the sitcom failure THE OFFICE, etc but he can't Tweet about Iraqi women or LGBTQs. He doesn't give a damn about Iraq and only brings it up when he can play partisan.

People like that are the real danger. They are the perverts who loathe humanity and reduce everything to partisan accusations. They should be ashamed of themselves -- they risk the lives of the whole world with their petty intermural wars.

Meanwhile women in iraq who refuse to conform to oppressive patriarchal rules are being killed but you do you

CNN . . . the cable leader in gossip.

What a proud moment for the former news network.

Terrifying that so much as trying to have a career that many women in Western countries have, can cause a woman's death in Iraq. If  men can do  what  they want  with  their  lives  so  can  women

For Iraqi women like this model and Instagrammer, daring to be visible in a conservative country can be a death sentence.

There are real issues but we get gossip from supposed news outlets, not actual information.

The war in Iraq never ended just because US outlets grew bored with it.

Finding the Cure for Imperialism

PRESS ADVISORY: Finding the Cure for Imperialism

October 13, 2018

WMOP

Women’s March on the Pentagon (WMOP)

#WomenRise4Peace

Press Advisory

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CONTACTS:

Cindy Sheehan: 707.317.8586
Bonnie Caracciolo: 470.328.2186
Emma Fiala: 612.913.6240

After months of planning, the Women’s (and others) March on the Pentagon is one week away!

Despite the fact that our children are getting third rate public schooling; homelessness is a national crisis and disgrace; U.S. infrastructure is failing at an alarming rate; and this nation is being dissolved foot by foot by global warming and unprecedented natural disasters: the Pentagon receives almost .60 of every tax dollar to continue the war machine’s program of global domination for resource control and profit.

We at WMOP reject the thinking that just because the U.S. has long been the world’s dominant hegemonic force, that it has to remain that way. Maintaining the U.S. war machine at its current levels is sucking the life our of our families, communities, nation and world.

Imperialism is the disease and Women organizing in a dedicated and militant (we won't stop until they stop) way for a peaceful and sustainable planet is the answer!

Lead organizer Cindy Sheehan had this to say from her home in California, “Without curing the disease of Imperialism, the symptoms of racism, sexism, and other endemic (to the U.S) violence will never stop.”

From the Boston area, co-lead organizer Bonnie Caracciolo added, "All power to the people."

Humanitarian Bombs

Humanitarian Bombs
By David Swanson

http://davidswanson.org/humanitarian-bombs/

One should not sell bombs to a government that abuses human rights, which means murders a man without using one of the bombs.

If Saudi Arabia had murdered a man using a bomb, it would be fine to sell Saudi Arabia more bombs.

But Saudi Arabia murdered with a non-bomb weapon, and so shouldn’t have bombs anymore.

One should, in fact, bomb people whose government abuses human rights, which means murders children without using bombs.

Syria allegedly killed children using chemical weapons, and so Syrian men, women, and children should be bombed.

Killing millions of people in wars, year after year, as long as it’s with bombs, is justifiable because the Good War was justifiable because although the war killed some 80 million people, about 13 million of them were killed in German camps which doesn’t really count as war and is therefore not justifiable, especially for 6 to 9 million of them, although those are precisely the ones who could have been very easily spared by permitting Germany to expel them, something none of the governments whose warmaking justifies all future wars would agree to.

The warmaking that justified all further warmaking consisted largely of bombing people’s houses, which was therefore not a crime in the post war trials. Rather than a crime, bombing people’s houses is a form of law enforcement.

Saudi Arabia is not in need of law enforcement, because it buys lots of bombs. It does, however need to be cut off in its supply of bombs.

Or, rather, it would if it weren’t for the fact that it buys so many bombs. Because, although military spending reduces jobs in comparison with any other kind of spending or even not taxing money in the first place, the United States will not engage in any other kind of spending or stop taxing the people who can’t afford it, and so it’s a nation of war jobs or no jobs, and jobs justify mass murder as long as it’s with bombs.

And so, arming dictatorships around the globe is a national duty because the Homeland nation gets armed too, which creates jobs in a society that respects human rights apart from leading the world in locking people in cages, and also being a nation that executes prisoners, and which has police engaging in murder with near impunity, and the government joining only five of the United Nations’ 18 major human rights treaties, fewer than any other nation on earth, except Bhutan (4), and tied with Malaya, Myanmar, and South Sudan, a country torn by warfare since its creation in 2011.

But there’s a difference. When the United States government violates human rights, it is all part of protecting your security. In other words, it is done in the name of preventing the United States from being bombed, which would be the worst thing imaginable.
