This is the latest American government’s propaganda to heighten public fear, to curb their resent and encourage hatred.

This is the latest propaganda to push for more losses of liberties, more control over the general public, more governmental supervision and more wars, all of which directly translate into more easy money and more profit for the big Oil, Military and Security corporations.

Afghanistan war was initially launched to capture Osama Bin Landen.
What happened?
The only results were Hundreds of thousands have been killed and more hatred – No Bin Laden.

Iraq war was initially launched to find WMDs.
What happened?
Nearly a million innocent people have died.
Shockingly enough a child dies every six minutes in Iraq.
It has not only improved American or Global security, but has made it much worse.- No WMDs.

The war in Yemen, the poorest most raged Arab state, is in progress, as a result of another false flag and staged terrorism.

What will happen folks?

The same governments who claim to protect our freedoms are the ones destroying them.

These are the same people who claim to combat terrorism and themselves are the ones creating it.

These are Wars OF Terror; these are “Attacks on Liberties”; these are “Filling the Pockets of Big Corporations”

“None are more helplessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free”

Here is an interesting graph that shows the cost of US led war compared against univesal health care, universal preschool, security, cancer research and immunization.

It is easy to see how much the American people are losing with these unjustified wars: masacring people within and abroad the country.

Recent news from The New York Times has suggested that Ahmed Wali Karzai, the brother of the president of Afghanistan, gets regular payments from the CIA and has for much of the past eight years.

I was reading through some articles about the increase of opium production in Afghanistan and came across the following graph from Wikipedia.

Opium Poppy Cultivation in Afghanistan (in Hectors)

This data was published by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).

It is interesting to note that during the period when Taliban was gaining power,  the opium production actually showed a downward trend to a point where in 2001 it was reduced to its a minimum record since 1994.

Many argue that this containment of opium production under the Taliban regime was not favorable to the American drug corporations, which consequently become one of the big factors in the invasion of Afghanistan and the decision to  overthrow the Taliban regime.

After which, the production of opium surely picked up again and kept rising up beyond previous records.

The fact that Pharmaceutical business is the second most profit making industry after oil is no secret and the American government benefited largely from this increased opium production.

Following is a list of Medical drugs produced from Opium:

When considering the number of people around the world that use Acetaminophen daily, a pain killer that has Codeine as its main ingredient, the amount cash that is generated from having cheap opium at hand is astronomical.

Opium (cheap opium) creates huge profit margins for pharmaceutical companies.

By controlling the region and increasing the production of this plant, similar to oil, the American government kept its price reduced and well favorable, with no regards to regional and global effects of such massive opium surplus.

Sure the American companies have made billions of dollars, but at the cost of many Afghani, Iranian, Pakistani young men and women killed if not others around the world, many falling into the traps of addiction.

An addiction which devastates not only a single person, but many families, their offspring and eventually destroys the foundation for a functional society.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Chief  has accused the United States, Britain and Pakistan of having links with the militants responsible for a suicide bombing. The evidence is pointing to the credibility of their claim in an attack that killed five senior guard commanders and 37 others.

The following is what the Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan said about Iran’s nuclear program and questioned some world powers’ constant and unjustified focus on the Iranian program.

“We don’t want nuclear weapons in this region and this is what we have always called for. We have also voiced this to the Iranian officials and they stress that they don’t have any intention of developing nuclear weapons,” Erdogan told Al -Arabiya satellite channel.

“They [the Iranians] want to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes because they worry that the traditional energy recourses might not meet their needs in the future,” Turkey’s Yenisafak newspaper quoted Erdogan as saying on Wednesday.

“Besides, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has found no evidence indicating that Iran is developing nuclear weapons,”

“What upsets me is another thing: why those talking about nuclear weapons always pick on Iran? Why don’t they discuss Israel? They only point the finger at Iran and North Korea,”

“We call on them to adopt a just behavior. We urge the UN Security Council and especially its five permanent members to take necessary precautions to prevent proliferation of nuclear weapons.”

The BBC has recently reported that the Pentagon is speeding up the deployment of an enormous bomb, one that would be the largest non-nuclear weapon ever in the U.S. arsenal.

The 30,000 lb (13600 kg) massive ordnance penetrator (MOP) carries about 2,400 kilograms of explosives and is so heavy no fighter can carry; it can only be carried on a B-2 stealth bomber.

The U.S. Department of Defence’s decision to award the $51.9 million US contract to Boeing Co. earlier this month signals a renewed commitment to the weapon.

The American president, Barack Obama gets the Nobel Peace prize and the approval of such budget for this bomb comes only days after it.

A Few Peaceful Thoughts:

Nothing says “Diplomacy” like a 30,000 lb bomb.

Nothing says “Cooperation” like a 30,000 lb bomb.

Nothing says “Love and Understanding” like a 30,000 lb bomb.

Nothing says “Security” like a 30,000 lb bomb.

Nothing saves “Lives” like a 30,000 lb bomb.

Nothing helps the “Economy” like a 30,000 lb bomb.

Nothing wins the “Nobel Peace Prize” like a 30,000 lb bomb.

and finally:

Nothing says “Peace” like a 30,000 lb bomb.

In response to war crimes allegation by the UN prosecutor Richard Goldstone, Israeli PM Netanyahu stated the followings:

“This distorted report, written by this distorted committee, undermines Israel’s right to defend itself. This report encourages terrorism and threatens peace,”

“Israel will not take risks for peace if it can’t defend itself.”

Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to never allow Israeli leaders and soldiers to stand trial for war crimes over their actions during last winter’s military offensive in the Gaza Strip.

This has happened many times in the past… Surely history repeats itself.

Empires, countries and armies over and over again in the course of history have destroyed the lives of many and have justified their actions in the name of peace, liberation self-defense and such.

Regardless of the reasons for engaging in any conflict, and whatever the slogan may be, whether they want to call it “self defense”, “war on terror” or give a a fancy name as “Operation Cast”, “Freedom”, “Liberation”…  a moral and just leadership would not seek to exempt or protect its army against international law, war crimes and appeal for immunity.

It is somewhat amazing how quickly the Israelis forget the crimes committed against their fathers, and their decades of justifying, reasoning and seeking for justice, compensation, recognition and public sympathy.

However, the truth is coming out…

Nations and conscious people around the world are realizing it and they are standing up against the crimes of the Israeli government.

How easily, in the name of self-defense, they have taken the lives of thousands and destroyed the homes and families of hundreds of thousands more. The have managed to do all this with illegal weapons, cruel intentions; targeting schools, hospitals, UN designated shelters withing the refugee camp of Gaza…

and worst of the Israeli government has managed to do all this with utmost arrogance.

How quickly they forget, yet are always willing to remind the rest of us, when it’s suits their political and military purpose.

It is quite vivid that the Israeli government does not and never did have a have moral or just leadership.

It is of good news that a tyrant like Berlusconi is no exception from the Law. Unfortunately the old man’s plans got thwarted this time.
