Facts of the current world we live in! Some extremely powerful & wealthy entities are needed to meaningfully push against the evil lobbyists & their agendas. It’s like an evil freight train running at 1000 miles per hour…. Only another bigger train running in the opposite direction at 5000 miles per hour can stop & destroy it.

Power is everything. You can do anything if you’re powerful. The fight should be for ‘the right thing to do’, the ideas should be for the betterment of all humans & for the total destruction of evil. Unfortunately religion is the root cause of all evil! It’s man-made to divide & conquer the world.

I'd say "money is the root of all kinds of evil" which you could translate into meaning "capitalism is the root of all kinds of evil." War is profitable--for capitalists. Just look at how much money the CEOs of Raytheon, General Dynamics, Boeing, etc., make.

Good point…. Although, money by itself is good & is necessary to run all facets of life! Bad people using money for bad purposes is the problem.

The current murderers & their global supporters are using the “biblical land” religious reference for continued massacre! The biblical land, etc references…. used to justify their murderous behavior. Religion is created by man. Faith & religion are to be used for calming oneself & for peace of mind & not for anarchy & murder! Evil elements everywhere in the world commit crimes & justify it with religion!

And it's not just the USA. It's Canada, the UK and other nations that are supplying Israel with money, arms and diplomatic cover as well.

It must stop. How do we make this happen?

I'll be writing and sending a letter to our Prime Minister and friends today, and sharing it with the papers and on Substack. Pressuring them is just one tactic of many. Boycotting Israeli firms is another and so is taking to the streets.

The Boycott, Divestment, Sanction (BDS) Movement is a powerful potential leverage, that is why there is all the movement in the United States to shut it down.

Drone warfare is the wave of the future. Nobody has to get their hands "dirty," but a lot of killing and destruction can be done without undue loss of troops. The US military is just one big war machine that keeps the profits for the military-industrial complex rolling in...into the pockets of the politicians who do the MIC CEOs' bidding.

Bombing really is a cowardly way to wage war--or resource theft in the case of the US.

And it is unsuccessful. We dropped multiple tonnage of bombs on little Vietnam than what we dropped in WW II and we lost. We lost in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya. The object really isn't winning, it is boosting profits from quarter to quarter, no matter how many civilians and soldiers need to be killed. I hope young people understand the scam.

I think young people do. The US armed forces are not making their recruiting quotas. Even with crippling student debt, the kids aren't falling for the "join the Army and get the GI Bill today!" propaganda. They don't want to get killed simply to pay off their college tuition bills.

Let us hope. When things get hot the faux patriotism crap will be ratcheted up.

"we glorify the dead & discard the living."

Exactly. Well said.
