COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE INDEPENDENT
“Manchester bombing
live updates: Armed police raid city centre property in connection with arena
suicide attack”
Of course, I do hope that readers have some appreciation of
the fact that the United States in just one bombing run likely kills more
innocent people than this.
And there have been countless bombing runs - in Afghanistan,
Iraq, Syria, Libya, Somalia, etc.
Then there are the horrors the US and Britain support in
places like Yemen.
Thousands of innocents torn apart, but The Independent gives
us no serious coverage or stories or photos of that horror.
No, instead, the US and Britain sell the bloody Saudis tons
and tons more weapons with which to kill. Billions and billions of dollars’ worth.
None of this makes any sense to an honest person, and I
believe we have every right and ethical obligation to call what the US (and
sometimes Britain) does state terror, at least as horrible as this event.
We live in a very sick and twisted world, largely of
American creation as it pursues absolute domination across the planet.
The ugly and unavoidable truth is that sickening events like
Manchester are what intelligence agencies call "blowback,” unwanted
side-effects of dirty operations.
Please, in the 15 years of Neocon wars, America, with a
little help from its friends, has killed something like two million people
across the region (and that may well be an underestimate).
That means that scenes like this - hidden from our eyes by a
corporate press that does no investigative reporting and governments which lie
daily - have happened at least 100,000 times in the last 15 years.
