The following debate originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “Bombing Civilians For Peace!“…

Rayn: War-Criminal-in-Chief Obama is a regular trend-setter!

"The first Nobel Peace Prize winner to bomb another Nobel Peace Prize Winner"

“The first Nobel Peace Prize winner to bomb another Nobel Peace Prize winner”

Anke M.: Jeez Rayn, what’s wrong with you? You and Genaire have fairly gone of the tracks!
I know neither one of you are stupid, but posting this nonsense really pisses me of!

Rayn: What’s wrong with me!? Sorry, but I’m right on track! War is a racket and murder is wrong! It’s not “collateral damage,” as the professional liar, O-bomb-a, claims. Belief in such a morally-bankrupt concept requires a huge leap of faith in the religion of “government.” However, I’m not a Statist, but rather, a “political atheist,” so I DO NOT “bow to political gods”!

And, far from stupid, I’m actually very knowledgeable about US foreign policy, and world politics. My writing and art records speak for themselves! Meanwhile, a few days ago, America’s president authorized the bombing of a hospital in Afghanistan, killing an estimated 22 civilians, including members of “Doctors Without Borders,” which happened to win the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999.

So, you’re willing to dismiss PURE FACT as “nonsense,” while being pissed off that I posted the truth!? That’s your prerogative, but rest assured that I’m pissed off, too – pissed off that America’s War-Criminal-In-Chief, much like his bloodthirsty predecessor, continues to engage in yet another illegal, immoral War of aggression, while committing Crimes against humanity in his authorization of the maiming and murdering of civilians with drone bombs, as a matter of policy.

America’s Favorite War Criminal

The following debate originally took place upon my Facebook wall, after I posted artwork being shared by the page, “Free Talk Live“…

Rayn:

"Trying to be cool and relatable... so people will forget about how many children your drones have killed in Pakistan and Yemen."

“Trying to be cool and relatable… so people will forget about how many children your drones have killed in Pakistan and Yemen.”

Robert C.: A man can be cool and relatable and kill children in Pakistan. Binary oppositions of good and evil are largely fantasies His intentions is not to kill children in Pakistan. He is not Hitler. Maybe his enemies when engaging in warfare should not have their families in the mix.

Rayn: The man appears cool and relatable only to those who accept him murdering innocent children. Labeling the man’s war crimes as “warfare” and calling innocent children as “enemies” perfectly illustrates George Orwell‘s point that “political language… is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable.”

Obama certainly isn’t Hitler… but, Hitler is not my litmus test for whether or not evil is taking place.

Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, was a US citizen and an innocent child. Specifically, he was born in Denver, Colorado, and lived in American until he was 7 years old. He was murdered by a US drone strike while peacefully eating dinner at a restaurant in Yemen with his teenage cousin, who was also killed in the attack, along with at least five other civilians…

al-Awlaki was not even with his father the day he was murdered because he was still in the process of searching for him and he had not seen him in years. Sadly for him, it was during this very quest that he soon unwittingly entered a lawless, war *criminal* zone, where the CIA had been regularly terrorizing civilians for years in the name of “fighting terror.”

Such flimsy excuses for al-Awlaki’s murder are nothing new, though….

Former White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs on US Drone Murder of 16-Year-Old al-Awlaki:

“I would suggest that you should have a far more responsible father if they’re truly concerned about the well-being of their children.” – Former White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs

Genaire: Question: Can the same be said about Truman’s nuclear bombing of two civilians cities in Japan? Did the punishment fit the crime? Considering the fact they bombed military targets our retaliation of bombing civilian cities in my rational opinion doesn’t fit the crime.

We are fighting “terror”. Terror is not organized into strategically placed military facilities. These “terror” groups reside amongst innocent people special considerations must be made to stop the killing of these innocent people. Even greater effort must be made when considering we armed, trained and radicalized most of them through our imperialist foreign policies.

I equate it to Canada trying to kill the K.K.K. which is also a terrorist group. How can they kill a K.K.K. chapter without killing the innocent people surrounding these chapters? Does the killing of our innocent civilians justify the bombing of this terrorist group? When their are no clear cut lines of battle as is the case when fighting “terror” the whole world becomes an open target.

“WAR IS PEACE. FREEDOM IS SLAVERY. IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.”

Wars of Aggression Are ALWAYS Illegal, No Matter How Many Efforts Are Taken to Justify Them!

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

2014-09-12 - Wars of Aggression Are ALWAYS Illegal, No Matter How Many Efforts Are Taken to Justify Them!

President Barack Obama

Obama’s Anti-ISIS War in Syria May Be Illegal:
http://time.com/3328080/isis-syria-aumf-obama-law/

(Massimo Calabresi, Time) Obama is relying on questionable legal authority in his pursuit of terrorists, but that never stopped George W. Bush.

If truth is the first casualty of war, law is apparently the last, at least for President Barack Obama.

Obama came to office declaring his determination to reimpose legal limits on the American effort to defeat al Qaeda. He swore to close Guantanamo Bay, abolish torture, tighten rules for the treatment of terrorist prisoners and rein in the broad executive power President George W. Bush had claimed in the global hunt for terrorists.

But after five-and-a-half years of near-constant terrorist brush fires in Africa, the Middle East and South Asia, and a Congress that remains largely unwilling to update key counterterrorism legislation, Obama appears finally to have surrendered to a very loose legal definition of where and when he can use military force against terrorists.

(Read Entire Article Here…)

My Commentary: “May be illegal?” Since when are wars of aggression EVER NOT OUTRIGHT CRIMINAL!!?

Bush 2.0 continues on with the same lying, thieving, civilian-murdering agenda of the robber-class that helped put him in office, in the first place. And, without a single hitch, the willfully ignorant majority continues to support him! “ISIS” is just another American-invented straw boogie man, much like the Mujahideen, the M.A.K., Al Qaeda, the Taliban, the LIFG, and many others!
