Believing Absurdities in Order to Commit Atrocities

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “The Rule of Freedom,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

The State’s Wars Are Theft

The following correspondence originally took place upon my Facebook wall, after I posted artwork from the page, “We’re Getting Robbed“…

Rayn:

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in a final sense, a theft from those who are hungry and not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money, alone. It’s spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.” Dwight D. Eisenhower

Allison H.: Keep rockin girl. You always hit it right. And often make me cry. Good job!

Rayn: Thank you, Allison. I appreciate your kind words.

The following correspondence originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “Imperialism: From Chattel Slavery to Debt Slavery“…

Rayn: Pure, unadulterated bipartisan hypocrisy…

“17-year-old girl included on Obama’s secret ‘kill list.’ Obama administration lawyers reaffirmed their backing for state sponsored assasination, claiming that ‘U.S. citizens are legitimate military targets’ and do not have the right to any legal protection against summary execution. Crimes are crimes no matter who does them. Crimes under Bush are crimes under Obama and must be resisted by anyone who claims a shred of conscience.”
