As a former Wake County government employee, I have spoken informally with many returning veterans. I worked for ten years with Wake County. NC (and that’s where ‘Veterans Services’ is in my town). Although technically a human resources professional, there I learned first-hand from these men that our wars are just fabrications. That our politicians create false conflicts to sell us the idea of war (and make us pass as peacemakers of the world) when in reality what happens is twofold:
We only settle where we can aggressively control the price of oil per barrel (in other words, we will stay here and bomb their cities and shoot their citizens unless they keep the price at X) and because the “War Machine” or industry here In the US it is one of the few industries that we still have that can report our GNP. Many of the 1% get rich as we make cannons and tanks, etc.
These veterans, our veterans, realize this “over there”, and are still being instructed to bomb the innocent (let’s say kill or murder — let’s keep the vernacular personal and not objective). Even the soldiers on the other side are just trying to keep us out and defend their people. We provoke mass immigration to other countries when we do this too, which negatively affects world economies. That said, these men are very, very concerned about this truth. They feel like hypocrites, to say the least. Many feel that they have broken a commandment of their god, and I strongly believe that this is why we see such a high number of suicides in veterinarians (one veterinarian commits suicide every hour in the US).
Still, we have politicians keeping the NRA in its entirety. There is no mod on ANY weapon … there are no restrictions or higher protocols for licensing a gun owner. The ENR is a 1% tool. The NRA takes its licks, but does not feel the judgment, as it is not an entity established by the 1% to appear to be honoring the Second Amendment. When none of that is needed. When you can fire 1,100 rounds in 90 seconds (the case at the Denver theater a few years ago), I would hardly say this is for protection or hunting. He is a necessary representative to keep the legislation in force to continue our massive carnage abroad, which is clearly very lucrative for this select group of people. Money in no cost, seems to be the mission statement.
It really is disturbing, almost debilitating, to realize that this is my country, your country, the US doing this. But that’s why those kids danced in the streets after 911. Now that I have this information, that behavior makes perfect sense to me; where at the time I thought they were crazy or just horrible beings, even if they were just little children. |
But this is what I thought of these innocents as my country made sure it only had half the story. So why am I writing this? I ask that veterans begin to feel that they can come forward and speak out about this truth. I am ready to hear it. I, for one, will not shoot the messenger (for lack of a better phrase).
Want?
