December 9: Thou shallt not kill - unless there's a profit to be made

This is a short one because I have run into some terrible computer problems. I hope to be back among the living in two or three days.

 American billionaires have made over a trillion dollars since March. Isn't that nice?

Of course, somebody had to suffer for this.  The ones who suffered are  the elderly, the children, the millions of whole families who are sleeping in the streets and begging for food, the millions more all over the world who are going to get no help from us. When are we going to learn?

The super rich are running loose as they have been running loose for thousands of years. This is an old story. And this is evil.  Yes. Evil. A bill Gates is not cute or ambitious. He is evil. And millions have been sickening and dying (and millions more will die from the greed of these super rich. Think of  Latin America, the middle east, all the countries collapsing into poverty Think of,   almost certainly, a billion or more who will die in China. (Yes that many will die to meet the greed of the super rich.) When are we going to wake up? Think of the piled bodies of children and babies. The have been major targets of our wars.

Our capitalists are not just greedy. They are murderers on a ghastly scale. And you're on their list, and your children are. We should have dealt with this in 1945. Think about it.

China for example, had suffered  hunger, plundering, abuse from almost 150  years of horrible suffering at the hands of the British. We    could have  helped China recover from the horror. Instead, the U.S. plunged in with an invasion in 1949. And in every year since that it has poured hatred and suffering on the Chinese. (and no. I do not praise our brave Canadian soldiers who fought in Korea. More likely, I feel terrible sorrow for those Canadians who were sent by our politicians to murder Chinese - and to die.)

In 1945, we coud have changed the future and helped China to repair the years of British and then Americans. That would have given us all a good future. Instead, we are more likely to see the most horrible war ever.

And it is not just the Chinese who will suffer. It is all of us as the super rich pour out on us the greed they have poured  on almost all the nations of the world. We are now in our most savage and destructive stage.  And it will destroy us as surely as it has been destroying humanity for thousands of years.

Oh, and note how it has destroyed Christianity along the way.
