During the current presidential election campaign criminal war promoting news and entertainment networks are making no mention of President Trump's veto of a bipartisan Congressional resolution that would have forced an end to American military involvement in Saudi Arabia's civil war in Yemen a year and a half ago.
In One American Ear and Out the Other
In 2008, for two weeks the major networks telecasted as humorous, Rev. Jeremiah Wright's cry, his finger pointed to the sky, "God bless America? No, no, God damn America for her crimes against humanity!"
In 2012, prime times news during the Republican debates of presidential candidates, candidate Rep. Ron Paul was heard denouncing "all US bombings and invasions beginning with those in Korea as illegal, unconstitutional and a horrific loss of human life."
But nothing seems to effect a change in American dedication to their military and its military's heritage (of gore, death and destruction).
American film maker Michael Moore's castigates his fellow Americans as"sick and twisted violent people that we've been for hundreds of years, it's something that's just in our craw, just in our DNA. Americans kill people, because that's what we do. We invade countries. We send drones in to kill civilians."
In one American ear and out the other.
Martin Luther King made bold headlines in newspaper throughout the world with, "The greatest purveyor of violence in the world today is my government. In Vietnam we may have killed a million already, mostly children."

Some of us work to somehow make this Americans killing millions of children come to be a topic of conversation in the Third World for the children's lives that could be saved once enough people became enraged enough to demand prosecution and justice.
Once USA-EU loses world economic hegemony and can no longer sanction, the many nations that have seen their children murdered by Americans and their European allies will demand justice in the courts of a reconstituted and reorganized democratic United Nations. In the meantime let's have faith that the astounding intelligence witnessed in the miraculous achievements in outer and inner space will eventually manifest itself in ending the five centuries of European and American genocide for money and power.
