Wisdoms from the Journey - Vol VII (May thru Dec 2013)

*Obama also maintains that Syria’s chemical weapons arsenal poses a
threat to United States security … THIS IS AN OUTRIGHT LIE! Syria is engaged
in an internal civil war, and has given no hints & shown no tendencies whatsoever
to evidence that it wishes to attack the United States in any way — either directly
or covertly. In essence, neither the everyday American citizen’s overall safety,
nor their general livelihood, nor their practical freedoms are being threatened by
the Syrian government at all … period.
Now, it IS true that the financial lusts & potential power-grabs of American
politicians and American corporations are being threatened by Syria’s regional
independence, and yet these desires are NOT valid justifications for putting
American troops in harm’s way — and they are certainly NOT valid justifications
for destroying the lives of tens if not hundreds of thousands of Syrian civilians --
most of whom simply want to get on with living their lives.
So, to the American corporations sponsoring the administration’s current
war machine, I ask: Don’t you have enough already? Does your greed really know
no bounds? How many wars will you have to engineer — how many cities will
you have to destroy, how many families will you have to rip apart, how many
children will you have to murder — before you will have enough to satisfy your
lust and cease this Machiavellian madness?
Well I say you already have more than enough …
… and I say the time to stop the killing is NOW.
And to Mr. Obama, I ask: Have you so soon forgotten the brave, moral man
you once were? Have you truly strayed so far from the noble promises and
glowing goals you recited to us so eloquently during your initial inauguration?
Well I say you still have time to wake up … I say you can still remember
… I say that it is time for you to obtain your power from the American people, by
honorably serving them …
… not from defense contractors, by selling your Soul.
