The following correspondence originally took place upon the Facebook wall of my friend, Jonas A., after he shared artwork from here…

Jonas A.: Both are equal and opposite of the same BS we all are dealing with….time to boot them all out!

"If you haven't figured it out by now... These are corporate spokesmen, not leaders. They both started illegal wars, tortured people, bailed out criminal corporations, spied on you, violated the Constitution, and committed war crimes. What is it going to take to wake you up?"

“If you haven’t figured it out by now…
These are corporate spokesmen, not leaders.
They both started illegal wars, tortured people,
bailed out criminal corporations, spied on you,
violated the Constitution, and committed war crimes.

What is it going to take to wake you up?”

Lynne C.: Ok…I’m confused….just what war did Obama start???

Jonas A.: One started…the other just continued the program….

Lynne C.: Correct me if I’m wrong….but Obama is bringing the military home. I’m Canadian and its on our news up here….WorldTruth seems to be blowing wind as far as I’m concerned.

Rayn: To answer your question, Lynne. Obama has authorized the US military to engage in illegal warfare against the nations of Yemen, Libya, Somalia and Syria, on top of continuing with Bush’s wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan. I hope this information alleviates your confusion.

Lynne C.: A person doesn’t know who or what to believe any more….that I am sure of.

Rayn: Only believe the facts. 😉 (Click Here to Continue Reading This Post) →

I originally posted the following information and commentary onto the Facebook wall of family…

The Chancellery Building — located at the intersection of “Broadway” and “Main Street” within the American Embassy in Baghdad, Iraq

The US Embassy In Baghdad Cost A Staggering $750 Million:

(Walter Hickey) Ten years ago this week, Americans woke up to learn that the United States had invaded Iraq.

They had been told it would cost $50 billion and that it would end soon.

Forty-two days later the President declared Mission Accomplished, and that the U.S. would be greeted as liberators.

That all didn’t work out as planned.

Killed in Another One of the American Empire’s Illegal and Immoral Wars

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following status update here, posted by peace activist, Cindy Sheehan, and originally shared it to my own wall, along with commentary…

Cindy Sheehan cries before a painting of her son, Casey, who was killed in Bagdad, Iraq in April of 2004

Cindy Sheehan: Today, my precious son, Casey would have been 35 if he weren’t killed in another one of the Empire’s illegal and immoral wars. Obama says that he believes in “American exceptionalism” with “every fiber” of his being because of our violent meddling in everyone else’s business, but on days like today, I not only think of our tragic loss, but of the Iraqi mother who emailed me to tell me that her son died in the same battle Casey was killed in. The difference is, her son was defending his community, my son was “exceptional.” Our mother’s pain is the same.

End America’s Imperialistic Wars of Aggression, Already!

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “I Don’t Trust The Government,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"End the War in Afghanistan... and Pakistan... and Libya... and Yemen... and Somalia..."

“End the War in Afghanistan… and Pakistan… and Libya… and Yemen… and Somalia…”

My Commentary: “War is organized murder, and nothing else.” – Harry Patch

The ancient practice of human sacrifice continues to expand, unabated, using the latest brand of coercive, pathocratic, pseudo-scientific, false religion called Statism. Either reject this “golden calf” / “sacred cow” worship, or go with the flow like a lemming off a cliff, and join the Ranks of the Forgotten in the Bottomless Pit!

Doublethinking About Terrorism

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

"Anytime a bomb is used to target civilians, it is an act of terror," [says the man who] bombs Libya, Yemen, Somalia, Pakistan, Iraq and Afghanistan

“Anytime a bomb is used to target civilians, it is an act of terror,” [says the man who] bombs Libya, Yemen, Somalia, Pakistan, Iraq and Afghanistan

My Commentary: Recently, child-bombing Nobel Peace Prize recipient, Barack Obama, was kind enough to define the highly confusing term, “terror,” for the American public. It’s a good thing we have such noble politicians like him to make things clear for us lowly commoners -taking time out of his very busy schedule just to help us double-think our way through the ever-nagging cognitive dissonance that comes from accepting civilian murders as a form of AMERICAN political policy, while simultaneously condemning the use of such tactics by others!

Thanks, lizard! Without your efforts, the public might be forced to rely on notoriously unreliable tools like common sense and critical thinking when considering serious matters like these!

“The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, but he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them.” – George Orwell
