A Different Twist

By Bob,

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.
