The UN has warned that we are very close to starving to death a whole generation of children in Yemen. Onward Christian soldiers.
After I read about this, I came across a new report. For some time under Trump, U.S. drone bombers were bombing civilians - and drone bombers make no distinction. In fact, the U.S. routinely bombs countries with which it is not at war. And drones routinely bomb children.
Do you feel angry at those children? threatened by them.?
I wonder how many children around the world our leaders have murdered. Starved. Crippled. The U.S., since 1945, has murdered, starved, crippled children in well over 50 countries. American soldiers and airmen get medals for it. Christian chaplains bless them.
When Canada went to war against Afghanistan (a country that never attacked Canada or the U.S.), Canadians stuck signs on funeral roads. calling them the Highways of Heroes. Canada sent troops to destroy Haiti, a country that had never attacked anybody.
How many have we killed to please the U.S.?
Who's counting?
Why are wars fought? Almost always, wars are fought - on one side at least - to please the wealthy. World War One was fought, primarily, at the urge of capitalists on both sides. On each side they wanted to damage capitalists on the other side.
However, unlike the American military today, (and unlike the British Empire in it's glory days) it did not make a habit of killing civilians, children...babies.
No, I am not exaggerating. In Korea, the U.S.made a point of bombing civilan targets. Same in Vietnam. In fact, that has become standard practice for American bombing.
Then there were the attacks on Venezuela that included starvation. And why did they attack Venezuela? That was because those selfish Venezuelans wouldn't hand over control of their oil fields to American billionairs.
British and American capitalists have a close relationship to Hitler's holocaust of Jews. So it was that the U.S. made it a point to kill Roman Catholics - priests, nuns, missionairies..in Guatemala. And none of our news media to this day have ever carried that story.
We are living in the most dangerous time in history.It is possible for a Donald Trump to effectively wipe out the whole population of China with nuclear attacks. And that would be the greatest mass murder in history. (Oh, and Canada would be instructed to join in. And there are probably Canadian legionaires who would wet their pants for joy.)
And, let's get real - It is quite likely that a Biden would do the same. American presidents have been as murderous as the most savage. George Washington ordered the mass murder of aboriginal babies. The U.S. army, from 1900, has spent it's time conquering Latin Americans, conquering oil producing countries all over the world. American capitalists, from 1945, have been obsessed with conquering the world - thus the Trump slogan - MAGA. Thus the constant American wars going back to their wars through the centuries.
We allow the super rich to run wild. We always have. We've done it .when the super rich were kings, emperors. This is a human behaviour that goes back thousands of years - and has now reached it's most savage level.
Either we control our super rich or it's game over and, no, it's not just Trump. It goes all the way down to the level of one of our Canadian capitalists, the Irving oil family.
And among our Liberal and Conservative parties, our politicians bend their knees to the super rich. A leader in that whose picture I see every day is our premier of Ontario, Doug Ford - who slobbers at the feet of the very rich -very much like the slobbering of the government of New Brunswick. And, in that context, one should never forget the government of Alberta.
We learned back about 1990 of the damage that was going to come down on us. Our Liberals and our conservatives did virtually nothing. Now, the storm is coming down on us - Arctic ice is disappearing with ocean change rapidly rising and with terrible effects on coastal area, fish stocks are in serious trouble, a variety of creatures, from bugs to elephants are disappearing. Terrible fires now happen every year. Not only has this done massive destruction. (The fires are now all over the world). They threaten even cities like Los Angeles.
But major capitalists, notably in the oil business just close their eyes. We've knowm this was coming for 30 years. But our oil execs think they know better than all the world's scientists. And that's why we're doing nothing.
In recent years, we have changed the world enormously because billionaires can make more billions out of that.
Soon, very soon, perhaps already, it will be too late.But don't worry about the super rich. They are already building survival communities, mostly underground.
But no. You won't be invited.
