cradling the Truth … (09/11/13)
Getting a grip on Truth … What’s really going on with Syria
Barack Obama gave a speech yesterday outlining some of his newfound beliefs and fresh objectives regarding the conflict in Syria. It seems the American public is not as easily duped these days — with 63% of them still adamantly opposed to the President’s original, trumped-up plans to directly attack the Syrian government — so he is now trying to save face (& maintain influence) by changing his tone.
Well done, my courageous American Friends … well done.
AND YET please don’t be fooled by this new “gentler Obama”. War with Syria is necessary to instigate a war with Iran, and war with Iran is desired above all else by the American administration. As such, war with both of these countries is on its way regardless … The only question that remains is what are we going to do about this travesty of injustice & immorality — both before it begins, as well as while it then takes place.
Maybe a little clarity regarding Obama’s latest speech will help motivate you to prepare your own Peaceful Resistance …
*Obama maintains his claim that Assad’s use of chemical weapons against his own people is a moral outrage. IF Assad was actually the one behind these attacks, then this statement is true.
Of course, Obama still neglects to admit a few critical facts:
First, much of the evidence released so far by independent sources shows that it is the Syrian rebels (along with quite a few extra-national jihadists — all of whom the U.S. is supporting) who in all probability carried out these attacks — NOT Assad.
Second, it is immensely hypocritical to attack another country over their “moral outrages” when your own country’s track record is far worse — AND when far greater travesties are occurring all over the world; travesties that the U.S. continues to ignore. If we truly are responding to a moral outrage, then why aren’t we helping Tibet?
Third, Obama now admits that a U.S. attack will not be able to resolve Syria’s convoluted internal difficulties. Right … so what good will a limited military engagement of any kind actually do?
Fourth, history has shown over & over & over & over again that military actions do NOT improve the behaviors of rogue leaders & terrorist cells, but rather serve to encourage them to inflict even greater despicabilities in the future.
*Obama also maintains that Syria’s chemical weapons arsenal poses a threat to United States security … THIS IS AN OUTRIGHT LIE!
Syria is engaged in an internal civil war, and has given no hints & shown no tendencies whatsoever to evidence that it wishes to attack the United States in any way — either directly or covertly. In essence, neither the everyday American citizen’s overall safety nor their general livelihood nor their practical freedoms are being threatened by the Syrian government at all … period.
Now, it IS true that the financial lusts & potential power-grabs of American politicians and American corporations ARE being threatened by Syria’s regional independence, and yet these desires are NOT justifications for putting American troops in harm’s way — and they are certainly NOT justifications for destroying the lives of tens if not hundreds of thousands of Syrian civilians, most of whom simply want to get on with living their lives.
So, to the American corporations sponsoring the administration’s current war machine, I ask: Don’t you have enough wealth already? Does your greed really know no bounds? How many wars will you have to engineer — how many cities will you have to destroy, how many families will you have to rip apart, how many children will you have to murder — before you will have enough to satisfy your lust and cease this Machiavellian madness?
Well I say you already have more than enough … and I say the time to stop the killing is NOW.
And to Mr. Obama, I ask: Have you so soon forgotten the brave, moral man you once were? Have you truly strayed so far from the noble promises and glowing goals you recited to us so eloquently during your initial inauguration?
Well I say you can still wake up … I say you can still remember … I say that it is time for you to obtain the power you crave from the American people by honorably serving them — not from defense contractors by selling your Soul.
