Our taxes support murderous dictatorships such as in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, and oppressive militarized regimes worldwide as long as they are "friendly" to corporate interests. Because of this greed-oriented foreign policy, d irectly and indirectly, overtly and covertly, economically and militarily, the U.S. has been responsible for the deaths of more than 15 million people, mostly civilians, since 1945, as well as injuries to countless millions more. In Iraq alone, policies of the administrations of Bush I, Clinton, Bush II, and Obama, all supported by bipartisan majorities in both chambers of Congress, have killed more than two million Iraqis and injured millions more, and made more than four million Iraqis refugees. No other terrorists come close to the effects of U.S. state terrorism.
20 years after the end of the USSR and the Cold War, our nuclear arsenal STILL has the destructive capacity to end ALL life on this planet. Nuclear weapons are weapons of omnicide - killing ALL living beings. That is god-like power in the hands of one person with access to our nuclear codes contained in "the football", the attache case containing those codes, a black case chained to the wrist of the President's aide who accompanies him everywhere he goes.
Tell me this is not insanity and the worst immorality.
This
worship of the ultimate power over life is reflected in most of our movies and
TV shows, where violence is the main way of creating "interest" and
"excitement". It has permeated all
aspects of our daily life to the point where we simply accept it as "normal".
