A Different Twist
Took a different twist to what I post on Subterranean
Homesick News today as it is designated “Memorial Day”. What are we supposed to remember and
memorialize? Death and suffering of
those that were told that they were “defending their country”, “Fighting for
freedom”, or any other lie like that vacuous statement “support the troops.” Or are we to memorialize the death, suffering
and destruction that we rain down on innocent people in other countries that we
do not even know. We export more
violence that any nation ever.
Yes, ask our veterans that are in need of treatment as a
result of fighting for their country, and for our freedom, or at least that is
what they were told that they were fighting for. Ask the 325,000 veterans of “Desert Storm”
that are now either dead or disabled due to being used as human guinea pigs for
crony capitalist. Ask those that they
are allowing to die in or out of VA Hospitals due either to a denial of or withholding
of treatment.
Ask Mumia Abu Jamal or Leonard Peltier, and many others that
are in prison about justice, and freedom.
Ask the imprisoned Move members about justice, and freedom. Ask those condemned to life imprisonment for
minor crimes due to the three strikes rule.
Ask those that have had their money taken from them by the
police as suspected drug money. The
police steal more money from the American people than all the thieves in the US
combined. No charges have to be made
either. Is that the freedom that our
soldiers were fighting for? Yet the US
government is the largest importer of illegal drugs, and the major banks are
their laundry.
Ask those who lost their jobs, to illegal immigrants or H1B
visas about liberty, and justice. Ask
those who lost their homes about the American dream. Yet this government no matter if it is
Republican or Democrat does not act as the expedient of the people as it is
supposed to. Is that what the soldiers
were fighting for?
Memorializing war is but another recruitment method of the
war mongers, who are nothing more than cowards.
Let us study war NO MORE.
