United State of Terror: Is Drone War Fair?

The blEnd of History


If President Obama's a Kenyan, why didn't change his name to hide the fact?
 Drumph's a German, and he DID change his name to hide it.

But he signals the Right people as to what his true nature is:

By sporting a melange of hairspray and spit meticulously
sculpted into the shape of a WW2 German Helmet.



Though he really seems to like playing golf, 
He loves it more when we call him, "Adolf".
Highlighting a psychotic need to be
The world's number 1 Celebrity,
Though no West Point Gent.

His name means more Ad Revenues
For the media circus we still call "News",
As venom, bile and nasty prompts 
Oozes from his Washington swamp
Like Ointment.

To fill his cabinet, he eschewed the best,
Choosing generals with loaded chests.
Preferring metal formed into a shield
To earning mettle in the Field
Of Appointment.

Like a boll Weevil
His cushy digs belie his Evil, 
 Exhaling a snakelike Hiss
Spawning a miasma of Avarice,
That spreads Disappointment.

That damned ill-natured baneful vice
Claims austerity for you is Nice,
While Luxury keeps a million Poor,
Pride assures they won't restore
What's been Looted.

 Envy itself, and Vanity
 are now ministers of every industry.
Their darlings, Folly and Fickleness
force diet furnishings and dress
To be uprooted.

Hence what was just fine for a time,
 In half a year becomes a crime;
As he struck down all Obama's laws,
For arbitrary ones all full of flaws,
Everyone disputed.

How vain is mortal Happiness
But how to learn the bounds of 
Bliss.
Or that perfection on the ground 
is not only crazy, but (more profound), 
To humankind, unsuited.

Yet every one who lacks success, 
With angry shouts demands redress.
Cursing politicians, Armies, Navy Fleets,
Yet letting Banks be run by Cheats,
Who should've been uprooted.

Sweeping in a Princley Store 
from conning Middle Class and Poor,
For nothing less can thrive,
Than Lawyers in an honest Hive,
With a Free Press, accoutered.

Imprison some, set others free,
Justice is a rarity,
Her presence since no more requires, 
With all her train and Pomp's retired,
All transmuted.

Even Clergy serve themselves, you see
Work not for souls, but their own prosperity.
Whether Jim and Tammy or the swaggering Saggart, 
That Con Man and Braggart,
Divinely Uninspired.

How long it'll take is anyone's guess
'Til he makes the Secret Service his own SS,
His will to power has one intent,
Destroy work done by a better President, 
Less self-interest-mired.

All while claiming it's Democracy
while ignoring all but his constituency;
But those outside the Party called "Tea",
Comprises the vast Majority,
Who kneel during an anthem that's War-inspired,
Yet would gladly stand to shout,
"You're Fired!"

Shock and Awe: It Meant Terrorize when the Bush Administration used it, and it Still Does.


Unsavory facts:

Smith & Wesson parent American Outdoor Brands Corp.’s stock AOBC, +3.21% jumped 3.0% in afternoon trade. Volume topped 3.7 million shares, compared with the full-day average over the past 30 days of 2.1 million shares.

Sturm, Ruger & Co. Inc. shares RGR, +3.48%  climbed 2.7

Commentator in  one of the leading newspapers:

"By the way, if a shooting is not carried out for political aims, it is a mass murder, not an act of terrorism". As though any planned and executed mass murder is not an act of terrorism.

Ever since the corrosive introduction by the Bush adminstration of the terrorist organisations's mentality that, "You're either with us or you're against us" (The Rallying Cry for Europe's erstwhile terrorist organisation known as the Red Brigade), the media has adopted the above logic system where it defines two scenarios as either/or when they are far more obviously 'and'. This is no error, this is a strategy, a method of framing the debate in the most ridiculous manner in order that it be grist for the pundit mill and generate more ad revenue for the 'News' organisations.

However, every computer in the world uses microchips, all of which use the underlying mathematics of Boolean algebra whereby a signal is actuated by whether or not a digital signal that can only represent either a "1" or a "0"goes high via an "And" or an "Or" gate, dependent on whether the condition met is "anded" or "or'd".

The logic is very simple as there are only four outcomes per logical operation:

0 and 0 = 0
0 and 1 = 0
1 and 0 = 0
1 and 1 = 1

0 or 0 = 0
0 or 1 = 1
1 or 0 = 1
1 or 1 = 1

Silicone chips based on this logic is how our entire world now operates.

So when you hear a reporter say that, "If a shooting is not carried out for political aims, it is a mass murder, not an act of terrorism", framing the phrase in such a way as to make it sound as if the two were mutually exclusive, it is for a political purpose that he/she does so, ie the phrasing itself reveals the political aim of the News organisation making the statement.

Just as the most rabid of the NRA supporters maintain their Second amendment rights even as they rage against the swamp of Washington, the very center of power that they use to justify their unassailable right to bear the arms they turn against it, the twisted logic of maintaining that the  mass murder of civilians is not a political act is the most nonsensical twisted reasoning outside of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

Defining the 2'nd amendment as the justification for unlimited possession and portability of enough armamentaria to mow down an entire plaza full of people IS a political act, one with political aims, as stated by the very people who support the right of any individual, no matter how loony, to unrestricted access to engines of deadly force. It encourages and legalizes mayhem by disgruntled individuals and endangers that, some would say diminishing, part of the population that isn't mentally deranged.

But that is secondary to gun enthusiasts. To them, it is the right to fight the Federal Government via armed revolt that is their most cherished fundamental (some would say simply mental) right. You can hear it at any gun show or talk radio, or NRA meeting. The exact entity that they rely on to maintain their privilege of hoarding and transporting weapons of mass destruction is the self same body that they amass their weaponry to protect themselves against.That's not just twisted logic, that's insanity.

As both Trump and Hillary supporters choose to forget: This collective self-delusion saw the United States make the greatest strategic blunder in its history, one that many theorize could well have sounded the death knell of the empire: the invasion of  Iraq. And the purported reason was the possession of weapons of mass destruction in an arena in which they were surrounded by other nations, namely Iran and Syria, both of whom were bombed for no reason whatsoever by the only State in the region that actually DOES possess WMD's: Israel, the nation that bombed both Syria and Iraq with no justification other than that they wanted to defend themselves against another signatory to the non-proliferation treaty, Israel, that developed nuclear weapons anyway and the entire world was silent about for decades ... it is still not ranked as a nuclear power despite the fact that even school children know it possesses them.

Likewise, on the home front, the current White House Supremacist, in order to justify his unconstitutional segregation of people from one religion as terrorists, has down played this assault as not being a Terrorist attack, despite the fact that it was a Terrorist rampage by a White Christian on a population he decided deserved to be murdered.

And the NRA believes this is his, and mine, and your right. The state of Iraq, we all decided has no right to even possess a nuclear reactor, which is what Israel decide to bomb in both Iraq and in Syria, with a complete blackout of any protests against these pre-emptive strikes, yet maintain that lone crazed individuals have every right to arm themselves to the teeth despite absolutely no threat to their personal wellbeing, and yet this abominable, revolting mass murder is no reason to take any material steps to change gun laws, reevaluate safety standards, increase access to mental health care, or even have a national conversation about how mass shootings could be avoided in the future, instead we will continue to maintain that madmen abroad such as Kimmie-the -Pooh, can't.


So leaders of States that have been overtly threatened by American regimes, by including them in an "Axis of Evil" as though they were involved in a conspiracy with the other two countries, as you would expect from an association as closely connected as any of its members would be when it's described as being in an Axis with two other countries; their defensive postures, if nothing else, closely aligned. Because the Axis that name was designed to call to mind was obviously that of the Axis powers of WW2, wherein an attack on one was an attack on all. So then, by including No. Korea in this fantasized Axis, the Neo-cons actually made No. Korea a legitimate target of a US regime's military onslaught, and now, as the ballistic bellicosity bellowed by our Commander-in-Chief blasted to the world, is subject to extermiNation by nuclear blitzkrieg.

And for what? For the temerity of thinking they have the right to deploy Weapons of Mass Destruction any American citizen feels they are entitled to, despite no threat from the federal government against which they harbor such an intense fear of, the thought of not having guns to mow down federal agents with is considered an abridgement of their rights so fundamental, so frightening, that they will risk their own lives, and those of their children, to procure and stash weapons of mass destruction under their beds. Yet a State that has been involuntarily harnessed to two powers thousands of miles away that are under constant threat of renewed military assault from the most over-the-top deployer, purveyor and USER of WMD on a scale not even approached by any other nation in the World, is menaced by the same President who believes any whackjob, as long as he is of European extraction, has the privilege of indulging any evil-minded militaristic fantasies of mayhem he so desires.

Such a policy, as the Strumpet himself, has proclaimed, is Evil. It is pure Evil.

So sad.
