Made in America Blood Bath
Does every global atrocity eventually become yesterday's story? And from there do they shamefully creep into our history books? We are responsible for up to 17,000 children who have been slaughtered, bombed, and starved to death by the best weaponry that the world has ever seen. Everyone has a role to play. The 2,000 bombs are made by General Dynamics and the drones made by Northrop Grumman. In fact it's a made in America bloodbath; how long can people bear keeping that in their minds?
Life is often hard in this land of the free, with the very rich gobbling up most of our country's profits. The greedier the billionaires get, the more they plot to rob us of what we still have left: our healthcare, public education and Social Security. We got rid of the thieving Democrats, only to be plagued by the new fascist party led by a madman. It is no wonder so many of us are in the streets.
But our county is also remaking itself, from the defender of liberty to the merchant of genocide. What is worth saving when we are responsible for slaughtering tens of thousands of Palestinians? We are transforming ourselves into the apocalypse of death and all the world is witness.
Almost every member of Congress gets piles of money from the Israel Lobby (opensecrets.org). Ask your House and Senate members just how much cash they are paid each year to look the other way. Our venal Congress is obsessed with blood money, and will never end the carnage on its own. That's were you come in. Demand that Israel and the US end the holocaust of the Palestinian people.
