Truth and justice is important
Throughout history, the wealth of the few was often built on the misery of the many.
War is deliberately created and sustained by old men who send young men to kill or die. War is planned under many disguises, for freedom or honour etc. oddly, the truth is much simpler.
War is fought so that a few gain more wealth at the expense of the many and war is rarely about the greater good or a better life for all. After the blood of the countless innocent soaks the earth, the old men will briefly stop and shake hands, then sign a treaty, whilst they secretly plan for the next war.
When mothers weep for dead husbands and sons, warmongers and profiteers are hidden. Those who serve this wickedness, like politicians, then render flowery speeches and praise the dead.
Reports on CNN about the 6th July attack on Capitol Hill was managed by Congress person Cheney, daughter of Vice Pres. Dick Cheney under Pres. George Bush Jr. Dick Cheney was an architect of the Iraq and Afghan wars. He grew wealthier as his companies and that of his allies profited from war contracts etc. Under the pretext that Iraq had “weapons of mass destruction”, the wealth accrued, cost a million dead Iraqi’s and thousands of injured and dead Americans and other allied soldiers.
The question is, does truth and justice matter in war? Example, why is Julian Assange treated as a killer when he merely exposed what Western Allies did in Afghanistan and Iraq? He did not engage in the war, he exposed it on WikiLeaks after it was shared by an USA military man who had a conscious.
Why is Assange not handled like a CNN or BBC reporter who reports Russian atrocities in Ukraine?
What is the difference? Must truth serve the agenda of those who create conflict to further enrich themselves? How much longer must the rest of us injure and kill others for the benefit of the few?
Why the Democrats are so hell-bent to Subpoena Ex Pres. Trump over the event at Capitol Hill where no-one died but not willing to Subpoena those who created and sustained the Iraq and Afghan wars?
When we expose the truth about conflict, those who generate and sustain war will be unmasked. We must defend Julian Assange and identify those who benefit from war and control politicians.
War cannot remain good business, the sacrifice of humans must be stop. It does seem like some among us have simply replaced idol worship with wealth worship but continue to sacrifice humans.
