Jon Rappoport – 3, 3, 2022
Putin launched the first war in history; there was never a war before. And THAT’S why the US media and the government are so shocked and outraged.
The history of the world up until now has been one of peace.
Right?
Wait, I do seem to recall, though—so long ago it’s quite dim in memory—the US invaded Iraq and killed a lot of innocent people there – more than once.
Here are some brave US heroes routing out some dangerous Iraqi terrorists.
The Bush and Obama governments were saving the world from this kind of threat for years, invading countries like Afghanistan and Iran. And there was no outrage in the US press then.
And wasn’t the U.S. waging war in a place called Syria about 10 years ago? Or am I mistaken?
Throughout U.S. history every U.S. president has been a warring president. Since 1945 the U.S. and its NATO allies have launched 88% of all wars while the rest of the world only 12%. As for what the West calls “just wars,” Afghanistan destroyed, Iraq destroyed, Syria destroyed, Libya destroyed, Yemen destroyed, Iran damaged, Palestine ruined. They’ve bombed most Latin American, Asian & Slavic countries. The only countries that haven’t been attacked are those that are complicit and support U.S. and Israeli foreign policy.
The only question that needs to be asked now is … “Who’s next???”
But now the focus is on Putin. Where does he come off thinking he can protect his borders from western (US and NATO) incursions? American journalists are now on wartime alert, fanning every flame of anti-Russian sentiment they can find.
THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING! THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING!
And real red-blooded patriots should shout down and blot out anyone who dissents from absolute hatred of those dirty Ruskies.
Forget the fact that, for many years, the US government has been moving strategic military outposts and even nuclear missiles closer to Russia with plans to have them at Russia’s border.
Forget those moves, because they weren’t “war.” They were just FOREIGN POLICY, which is quite different. Right?
Americans aren’t supposed to think about “foreign policy.” It’s a subject every loyal patriot should not bother to understand. Ignorance is part of the patriot code.
For example, here is a secret piece of foreign policy carried out by a beloved President who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. You might remember him. Barack Obama. As you read the following details, make sure you don’t think they constituted “WAR.” There was absolutely no reason for the American press to report on them, or to stir up the public.
The Guardian, January 9, 2017, “America dropped 26,171 bombs in 2016. What a bloody end to Obama’s reign,” by Medea Benjamin:
“…in 2016 alone, the Obama administration dropped at least 26,171 bombs. This means that every day that year, the US military blasted combatants or civilians overseas with 72 bombs; that’s three bombs every hour, 24 hours a day.”
“While most of these air attacks were in Syria and Iraq, US bombs also rained down on people in Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan. That’s seven Muslim countries.”
[These non-Jewish countries were NO THREAT WHATSOEVER TO AMERICA. But Israel resented them – so the US government punished them for not being nice to the Jews.]
“One bombing technique that President Obama championed is drone strikes. As drone-warrior-in-chief, he spread the use of drones outside the declared battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq, mainly to Pakistan and Yemen. Obama authorized over 10 times more drone strikes than George W Bush, and automatically painted all males of military age in these regions as combatants, making them fair game for remote controlled killing of families gathered for weddings and/or family feasts.”
“President Obama has claimed that his overseas military adventures are legal under the 2001 and 2003 authorizations for the use of military force passed by Congress to go after al-Qaida (or any group that could be falsely labeled al-Quaida). But today’s wars have little or nothing to do with those false claims about September 11, 2001.”
“Given that drones account for only a small portion of the munitions dropped in the past eight years, the numbers of civilians killed by Obama’s bombs are innumerable. But we can’t know for sure as the administration, and the mainstream media, has been virtually silent about the civilian toll of those “interventions.”
“In May 2013, I interrupted President Obama during his foreign policy address at the National Defense University. I had just returned from visiting the families of innocent people killed by US drone attacks in Yemen and Pakistan, including the Rehman children who saw their grandmother blown to bits while in the field picking okra.”
“Speaking out on behalf of grieving families whose losses have never been acknowledged by the US government, I asked President Obama to apologize to them – as I was being dragged out.
Again, I guess that was “foreign policy,” not war.
Shh. Don’t tell the children.
