When will it end? Part 2

I want to continue on from where I left off with my last column regarding Syria. For the moment things have calmed down on the campaign to bomb the hell out of Syria. I am extremely thankful for this. However I fear that this is just the calm before the storm. If you look up the definition of Arrogant, you will see a picture of banks and governments. These guys don’t take “NO” for an answer. We recently saw this in Cyprus where the government and banks tried to steal funds from the bank accounts of their own citizens. The first attempt failed. I warned that this would not be the end of this and that they would come back and try again. Well, just a few weeks later we saw the government come back and successfully steal 40% of the funds held by Cypriotes in their banks accounts.

We don’t have to look half way across the world for examples of arrogance in government. Here at home we saw Christy Clark flip the bird to her riding of Point Grey who voted her out. She wasn’t going anywhere no matter what her constituency said. She stole Ben Stewart’s seat and now she is sitting pretty, back as the premiere of this province.

Now, the most arrogant of all governments is that of the United States. Do you think they are going to listen to public opinion when it comes to their agenda of world domination? I don’t think so. They have stood down for now, but I fear they will be coming back with a vengeance very soon. Just like this past chemical attack in Syria which was likely sponsored by the US government, the next event shall have the US’s finger prints on it also. My fear is this time it will be far more horrendous so that they do not face any public opposition.

I find it sickening that the US is the worlds’ watch dog of weapons of mass destruction. Let’s take a look at the US military’s track record. The US is the only country in history to launch a nuclear weapon against an enemy. In fact they launched two; Hiroshima and Nagasaki. 250,000 people killed. In Vietnam, the US dumped 20,000,000 gallons of toxic chemicals on Vietnam and surrounding countries. 400,000 people killed and 500,000 babies born with birth defects from this. Also, it has been very well documented that US troops used chemical weapons on several occasions in Afghanistan and Iraq. Despite this, the US has the audacity to wave its finger at Syria. Who do these guys think they are, and exactly how stupid do they think we are?

Well to answer the stupid question we don’t have to look far. I have read many propaganda pieces advocating that the United States must attack Syria. I’ve even read columns on Castanet stating this. To me, this is just proof that the body can actually survive without the brain. So let’s believe the official story that the Syrian government used chemical weapons (we all know it was the US-backed rebels). But let’s suspend reality momentarily and pretend this is true. So the logical answer is to launch hundreds of missiles at Syria slaughtering children, women and men? And let’s face it, they never get the guy they are after anyway. Tens of thousands of citizens will die while the supposed culprit will never be touched. Someone please clarify how this makes everything right? The US bombed the hell out of Iraq and Afghanistan and still never got the intended target until years later. Anyone who believes that slaughtering innocent civilians in Syria is the proper response to a chemical attack needs serious psychological help.
