Is that the way it is?
I know I hold no position of power. I’m not particularly integrated into the makeup of society. My participation is only minimal at best. I have no influence. I’m essentially a worthless piece of shit in society.
I do not contest that. So be it. But still I’m a living, conscious being. And it is despicable what is occurring. Let’s just look at a few bleeding examples:
Susan Rice launches staunch defence of Israel despite ‘alarming’ Gaza death toll
This is absolutely sickening. The United States is supporting atrocities. It is lying about what it is doing. It is deliberately distorting the truth.
If anyone in the mideast should be considered our true friends, I would much rather consider the peoples of Iraq and Iran as our true friends. The Iranian language in particular is a member of the Indo-European family. They are our cousins. America should not support any fascist Semite racists and I think the world has had enough of all Semitic religions for a while including Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.

US unlocks military aid to Egypt, backing President Sisi
This is just fucking appalling. It is a complete fuckover of democracy. Sisi is a fucking facist dictator who overthrew the democratically-elected government of Egypt. The US government’s providing $575m in military “aid” to the regime is like a war crime.

Iraq war logs: secret files show how US ignored torture
Just one item out of this article states:
More than 15,000 civilians died in previously unknown incidents. US and UK officials have insisted that no official record of civilian casualties exists but the logs record 66,081 non-combatant deaths out of a total of 109,000 fatalities.
The numerous reports of detainee abuse, often supported by medical evidence, describe prisoners shackled, blindfolded and hung by wrists or ankles, and subjected to whipping, punching, kicking or electric shocks. Six reports end with a detainee’s apparent death.
This is just sickening. The United States committed ongoing atrocities in Iraq and knew about many of them being committed and lied about them.

Biologist warn of early stages of Earth’s sixth mass extinction event
This is a further atrocity. It is a crime that is being allowed to happen. Was not the Gulf Oil Spill enough? Have not all other ecological disasters been enough?
The dysfunction of human society – particularly American society which is by far the most gluttonous and wasteful – is sick and appalling. The fact that it is continuing along its destructive path is criminal.

With all the above as a backdrop, President Obama visits a Walmart store and praises it as being a model. A model of what? A strip-mall future?
The people in power clearly have chosen a strip-model for the future: strip-malls, strip-agriculture, strip-labor, strip-wars, strip-education, strip-healthcare.
Instead of having healthy communities surrounded by organic farms, we will have unhealthy, sick communities surrounded by strip malls. Healthcare is a farce. Education is a farce. The fundamental infrastructures of living have all become washed-out farces while those at the top profit.
And who better to provide labor for the new strip-model than 50 million, uneducated, illiterate, illegal immigrants who are eager to obey and work for dirt-wages?
