“Maybe its time to question a system that allows millions of people to dominate millions of other people with a flick of a pen.” – Carey Wedler
My Commentary: Bullying, coercion, and non-consensual relations are duly considered criminal… UNLESS, of course, these sociopathic behaviors are properly laundered through the machinations of the Great and Almighty State!

Our Greatest National Security Threat? Perpetual War:
https://www.commondreams.org/views/2016/08/12/our-greatest-national-security-threat-perpetual-war
(William Astore) The United States is now engaged in perpetual war with victory nowhere in sight. Iraq is chaotic and scarred. So, too, is Libya. Syria barely exists. After 15 years, “progress” in Afghanistan has proven eminently reversible as efforts to rollback recent Taliban gainscontinue to falter. The Islamic State may be fracturing, but its various franchises are finding new and horrifying ways to replicate themselves and lash out. Having spent trillions of dollars on war with such sorry results, it’s a wonder that key figures in the U.S. military or officials in any other part of America’s colossal national security state and the military-industrial complex (“the Complex” for short) haven’t spoken out forcefully and critically about the disasters on their watch.
My Commentary: Not exactly rocket science, and yet, it still remains an ever-elusive concept to most, somehow…
