Masters of War

 

  In the light of current events, I am going to make certain observations.  It is easy to see that one narrative is being parroted by the MSM, Left and Right, and no one dare disagree.

  One must follow the path of truth and not be led along by  the nose by a corrupt government and media which flourishes in the West. Keep an open mind if you can, and don't allow blind hatred of Russia keep you from looking at our own country.

   Come you Masters of War
   You that build the big guns 
   You that build the death planes 
   You that build all the bombs
   You that hide behind walls
   You that hind behind desks
   I just want you to know
   I can see through your masks
   
   Let me ask you one question
   Is your money that good?
   Will it buy you forgiveness?
   Do you think that it could?

   I think you will find
   When your death takes it's toll
   All the money you made 
   Will never buy back your soul 
                            Bob Dylan

     It must be duly noted: 
 
     1. That soldiers are merely pawns of those in high places.
     They serve their country, they don't make the big decisions. My oldest son, and many       of my closest friends are combat veterans who bravely fought to keep their buddies         alive and make it home safely.
    
     2.It is wrong to attack non combatants.
   
      That being said, just think about the way truth is ignored and lies are the order of
      the day. 
       We are bombarded day and night with news from our Government and Media               saying Russia is the devil,  Russia has used cluster bombs to attack civilians and 
     Putin is a war criminal.

      This is from a country that incinerated and vaporized a quarter of a million civilians
     with atomic bombs. A country that used Agent Orange and Napalm to poison                     and burn people alive. This from a country that attacked Iraq because of what Saudi
     Arabians did. A country that promised Ghaddaffi that if Libya gave up nuclear                       ambitions there would be peace, then when he did we attacked Libya and killed him.
     This from a country that carpet bombed Dresden in WWII and killed 200,000                     civilians. This from a country that carpet bombed Serbia killing civilians and                     blowing up Orthodox churches. 

      Now we claim to be better than Russia? Don't piss down my back and tell me it's             raining.

      We claimed Iraq had weapons of mass destruction so we blew up their country.               Just a few months ago the State Department and the WHO warned that Ukraine had
     25 chemical and biological facilities which generated horrible possibilities. But only        the US is allowed to invade, gas, bomb and destroy. Only our wars are just.

    There is much more going on than we are being told. Neocon war mongers have said 
    they want to destroy Russia's economy. Is that not attacking civilians?

   Surely war is hell. And I am not defending Russia's massive bombing. But we are the 
    biggest hypocrites. Lindsay Graham always wants war. His Superpac raised 2 million      dollars from military contractors during his Presidential campaign.  The military industrial war         machine loves war. But we want to decide who goes to war that will bring the biggest 
   profits. The US dismembers 4000 babies alive every day and now we want to claim 
   the moral high ground. How much money are US weapons makers making by arming Ukraine?

   God help us. We need to take a look in the mirror.
