We have weapons of mass destruction!

Do Americans think murder is bad?
I really wonder about American mentality. If you’re a cowboy, it’s ok to kill an Indian? Are we that exceptional?

15 years ago, on the evening of March 19, the U.S. started killing Iraqis with ”weapons of mass destruction” to punish Iraq for having the “weapons of mass destruction”!

Iraq did NOT have “weapons of mass destruction”.

It is we who have weapons of mass destruction and we use them often, such as the White Phosphorus we used on their young children. By our false accusations against them and our our own actions, people in Iraq have been made to suffer from weapons of mass destruction.

Iraq's leadership opposed al Queda and had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks.
Still we used 9/11 as an excuse to attack any country we wanted. The heyday of the Military Industrial complex is never ending.

The Iraq war is based on lies. Just like the Vietnam war.
Millions of lives have and are still being killed, losing their homes, and harmed by poison--because of the lies we still believe.

Do we ever learn from our mistakes?

Or are we just a big bully who doesn’t need to learn, who thinks we can keep doing the same thing we did to Iraq, to Libya and now Syria, over and over.

Just as We the People fell for the fake testimony given by Nayirah, the Iraqi girl’s incubator babies story, we are falling for the testimonies given by the adorable Syrian girl Bana Alameda and the White Helmets. Yes, war profiters and their mainstream media can keep pumping us with the same lies and war propagandas, because we buy them without question.

It’s so easy for them to have us scream “Russia! Russia! Russia! We are under attack!” when it’s actually us who have been attacking them with our false accusations.
Under the spell of the controlling, war-loving rulers of the world, we are being manipulated, as if our pineal gland is all calcified by fluoride and aluminum that are being fed.
People who don’t want wars end up calling for war with Russia, Iran, N.Korea, and support to keep spending trillions of dollars on wars overseas while 49 millions of Americans starve at home.

However, there is hope. There are some of us who are not being fooled who stand here as Peace presence.
No war. No violence, no matter what. We achieve peace by peaceful means.
