Hiroshima and Nagasaki Attacks Were Acts of American Terrorism

The following correspondence originally took place upon my Facebook wall, after I posted artwork being shared by the page, “The Non-Aggression Principle“…

Rayn:

(Hiroshima 60th Anniversary) "Which terrorist group did that?"

(Hiroshima 60th Anniversary) “Which terrorist group did that?”

Adam G.: The politics around this are super disturbing: no less than 200,000 Japanese dead from an act of intimidation against the USSR.

Rayn: SUPER, indeed! And, yet, many Americans happily justify this act of terrorism, and the mass-murder of civilians that it caused, as a “necessary” step towards ending WWII. Yet, to demolish that lie: would such an excuse be valid for the Iraq government to use, even after enduring an unprovoked attack by the American military, based on a pure lie? NO, of course not!

Discussing Drone-Bombing Child-Killer’s Desire to Disarm Americans to “Save Children”

The following correspondence originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “Drone-Bombing Child-Killer Wants to Disarm Americans to ‘Save Children’“…

Rayn: Drone-bombing, child-killer wants to disarm Americans in order to “save the children”? Hmmm… Seems legit!

So, Mr. President… about those drone strikes”

Brian J.: Obama is a war criminal. He’s a war-pig.

Video Games Do Not Prepare the Mind for the Grim Realities of War

The following correspondence originally took place upon my Facebook wall, after I posted artwork being shared by an acquaintance from here

Rayn

“Maybe we should always show pictures. Bin Laden, pictures of our wounded service people, pictures of maimed innocent civilians. We can only make decisions about war if we see what war actually is – and not as a video game where bodies quickly disappear leaving behind a shiny gold coin.” – Jon Stewart

Diana B.: right. that’ll work!!! ppl who fight tribal wars, chop off heads and parts of babies, men, women and children need to see more pictures of dead people?! mmmk

Rayn: Jon Stewart is referring to America’s youth. It is impossible for the individuals you speak of “who fight tribal wars, chop off heads and parts of babies, men, women and children” to see war “as a video game where bodies quickly disappear leaving behind a shiny gold coin.”

Diana B.: yea, im not so sure most americans have that view of war, but i do think alot of kids have violent perceptions of the world due to whats on TV and in video games. thank Gd we cut our cable, best decision we ever made!

With War Crimes as Policy, Silence is Betrayal!

I originally posted the following information and statement onto my Facebook wall…

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr: A Time to Break Silence (1967):

“A time comes when silence is betrayal.” For Americans, that time came long ago in relation to the Middle-East and Africa! The government is engaging in war crimes and crimes against peace as a BIPARTISAN matter of policy in these regions! It is completely illegitimate, unacceptable and repugnant, deserving neither our respect, our support, nor our tax dollar funding!!!
