The United States is a powder keg with a history of tax payers building and maintaining thousands of military bases, leaking and reeking, with spilled oil as they pollute nature–especially the abandoned ones. The military leaves these bases without cleaning them up because it is too expensive. Wars are Pyrrhic, not worth their cost–named for a king who learned the hard way. These bases all conveniently provide worldwide land for covering up toxic military waste and surplus poisons such as Agent Orange. Under black shadow of secrecy, they conceal their waste, like cats in a pile of sand.
Dear Ones,
How can the military bring American security when it is irresponsible and unaccountable for deaths and suffering on the only planet we know, as do all government aggressive armies. In cahoots with our government and its machine of endless serial killing, turkey vulture political leaders are more interested in the military industrial profits that only benefit wealthy corporations. Instead of listening to our wise prophets, all war economies worship a sacred sacrificial cow, young people offered up as burnt offerings while the world prays for international peace.
Right now the House of Representatives is haggling over war victims in order to nix the Iran Nuclear deal. But to be fair what about the victims of atomic bombs killing and maiming thousands upon thousands of Japanese citizens even though their government was historically in the midst of surrendering. But it all about us.
And don't forget U.S. genocide of American Indians. Do we also have memory loss of how in the 1970s these same indigenous people were victims of extermination through forced sterilization under the hand of the CIA director. It was Senator James Abourezk who exposed these atrocities before Congress. None of the above victims and families have ever gotten recompense for their suffering and losses. It is way over due for lighting a torch to see our own corruption, like the history of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), the worse regulatory agency in our own government–we the people.
My family and I were dyed in the wool Republicans for decades, but ever since the born-again Tea Party took over, Eisenhower warning about industrial military warfare has gone unheeded. And it has been no party ever since!
So Republicans in Congress, cut blaming others as a lame excuse to oppose the international Iran Nuclear Agreement so well-researched with time and diligence.
