The war drums are beating again so get
your marching shoes out and get ready to shut down traffic. This
time around, Iran's oil is on the menu and a new generation of
children are going to be the currency used to pay for it.
Having not learned a lesson since
2001, or willfully ignoring those lessons, the same crop of bullshit
artists, con-men and hucksters that helped put forth the lies that
led to the Iraq war are now pushing us to the brink with Iran. There
is a difference in the run up this time around.
In 2003, the war criminals involved at
least tried to show some level of creativity with the backstory they
concocted to justify their lies. We could all sit back and say,
“That is some artfully crafted bullshit you have there. But
bullshit nonetheless.” There was real effort put into the line of
garbage that was fed to the media which they in turn took as fact so
as to not lose their access to hobnobbing with the powerful.
These days, we're saddled by an
administration that has a very dubious relationship with the truth
and will charge ahead with any bad idea regardless of any evidence to
the contrary. They don't even bother trying to have a cover story to
go along with the awful things they do. They are of the opinion that
they're in charge and can do what they want and you can suck it.
The media is still taking these
pigfuckers at their word and not challenging them on their lack of
evidence. Every incident that occurs and increases tension comes
with its own set of conflicting reports to cast doubt upon the
administration's account of events. There is no reason to believe a
single bit of information put forth by these scumbags due to their
multiple Orwellian attempts to rewrite history and current events
over the pettiest of details.
It's not that they don't take into
consideration that there are things such as audio and video
recordings that appear with the most basic of internet searches that
will pop their delusional balloons. It's that they don't care. All
contrary evidence is declared as false and they get on with their day
as if nothing happened. They keep perpetrating the fraud while
everyone else is left spinning into a debate whether said fraud
actually took place and what words should be used to describe it. Pigfuckery is pigfuckery and should be called exactly what it is.
Back in 2003, it was the younger end
of my generation that was sent off to die. Unless someone's chain
gets pulled and he's brought to heel, this potential conflict will
last long enough for my daughter’s generation to come home in
buckets. All for nothing. Well, nothing that makes any sense.
The current Secretary of State claims
to be an Evangelical Christian. Last I checked, these folks believe
bringing about Armageddon is a good thing. For a job that involves
diplomacy, I think that should have disqualified him during the
interview. Starting a war to kick off the end of the world so
everyone’s imaginary best friend comes back seems to be a bit of
flawed logic to me. As much as the world ending is not very
appealing, I would love to see these shitheads standing in a pile of
rubble waiting for something to happen and it never does. The looks
on their faces would be priceless when they'd see that all of the
destruction and death was for nothing. This is as silly as my hope
that all of their Armageddon bullshit would eventually lead to the
Planet Of The Apes.
A few
years ago, I was going back and forth between old clips of the Dick
Cavett Show and Meet
The Press. I can't remember who
was on the panel but the words have stuck with me since. One of the
guests said something along the lines of the United States needing a
Department of Peace to coincide with the Department of Defense. Another panelist said that we already did have a Department of Peace
and that it was called the State Department. Unfortunately, all of
the really smart people that worked in the State Department were
either fired or quit in 2017 because anyone who had ever heard or
said the name Barack Obama was purged from the government.
We are in real
trouble here and other than “We are fucked,” I am at a loss for
words when it comes to how this might play out. A lot of people said
that we were overreacting when those of us started sounding the alarm
back in 2016 about how gross this carnival barker was.
Once again, we've
got concentration camps spreading across our country. We are
rounding people up because of the color of their skin. Fuck
semantics and terminology. They are concentration camps. Plain and
simple. If anyone tries to debate the fact that these things are
concentration camps, maybe they should shut the fuck up and read a
history book.
Women are seen as
servants or property that shouldn't have rights over their own
bodies. People who are different are openly attacked verbally and
physically. Sometimes to the most violent of ends.
Our “great”
leader has just added another name to the long list of women that
have accused him of being a rapist. Because of the preexisting
whirlwind of bullshit that we are caught up in, this was news for
maybe five minutes. And I'm sure nothing will be done about it.
This barrage of
garbage people is exhausting. Not an hour goes by without some sort
of calamity occurring and there are still way too many people that
close their eyes to it all and follow along blindly.
We are fucked.
