To The Victor, Go The Spoils

I knew a man many, many years ago that could have authored portions of this.

Some things never change, no matter whom the victorious might be.

There is some graphic imagary in this.

After reading this ......I have only one question.......Why?

[glenn kangiser]

It still continues....

It is the way they get young sheeple troops to kill people they would otherwise never kill.  Degrade and dehumanize the citizens of the chosen country of plunder.  Authority figures run the boot camps and train our children that this is the thing to do.  To resist or object has harsh consequences. 

Growing up in mostly government school surroundings and answering to bells and whistles they simply know that they are not to question authority.  Follow the mascot.  He is never wrong.  Kill the g--ks, sandn--gers and rag---ds.  (No offense to anyone- just illustrating training I have heard repeated in the past.  They are tricked into it by lying politicians in the pockets of big business and the complicit mainstream media whores who make the threat seem real.

Dehumanize the enemy is taught by the military-- only --- most are not the enemy.  They are people just like you and I mostly just wanting to take care of their families the best they can.

I don't blame the children who become our soldiers.  They are only doing as they have been taught and most go with the idea and want to protect our country.  Most will realize they have been misled later and done things that are totally against humanity in the name of war -- usually for oil or power, not for them but for our "leaders" - exploitation of the resources of others for profit of the elite.

A good portion of them will go on to become our silent veterans who just plain don't want to talk about the things they have seen and done.  They will be the ones who drink to forget, have their guns taken away when they come home because they are judged to have PTSD.

I have sympathy for them and a great dislike for the fascist system we have who made them that way.  Gitmo closed yet? Abu Grhraib?



Ones who see the light such as Pat Tillman and want to blow the whistle are often fragged.  That is part of why it continues.

Yup -- still the same...

Here's another video interview - Kissinger calling for a New World Order - stating the Obama could be the one to bring it about.

It's the way it's always been I'm sorry to say. I was talking to a friend of mine about the recent fighting in Gaza and he is convinced that Israel has the blessing of God to wipe out the palastenians cause it says so in the bible. Can't argue with that kind of logic.

I have been avoiding that issue because there are so many who are in direct contact with God daily and have his direct support and blessing..... on both sides.

Since he has chosen to support both sides, who am I to question him. hmm

...or are they actually self assuming and taking orders from the wrong god?  Maybe they are the ones He'll say He didn't know.  I know I'm not getting direct orders from Him to approve killing of Palestinians and I don't want to share the guilt so I guess I will dis-approve of murder in any form. 


I think I'll go with "Love thy neighbor as thyself."  It seems like a safer bet.

"A representative for Gaza's health ministry told journalists that 854 Palestinians had so far died in Israel's two-week long attack on the enclave of 1.5 million people. A total of 270 of the dead are children, 68 women, and 90 elderly people, he added."

I'm glad they are using smart bombs and surgical strikes.  Stupid bombs and butchers may have killed all women, children and elderly.

Israel does not need help from bombs, jets and bullets if God is really leading them.  Sounds like the self assuming haughty militants are trying to force their way through the pearly gates.  That ought to work.... oh yeah ... and they will drag all of the people hanging on to their coattails through with them because they are so benevolent.

Still haven't read where that actually is said.  There is a part, when the Israelites are getting to the promised land, when they are told to not leave any of the people who now live there alive.  They do not do this however.  I always wonder if this is the scripture of which they speak.  I don't see how this means, "well, since you didn't do what I told you to do 3000 years ago, go do it now".  It's all just crazy.

"so I guess I will dis-approve of murder in any form."

I agree Glenn.
