Cosigned by Me?

The secret militarism of the USA and allied governments involves us all. We don't know the goings on, but it's done in our name.

We pay for these adventures - not only financially.

We're not really "innocents" when we connive to allow warmaking & massacres. We cosign the checks buying bombs and bullets, bribing foreign officials, and undermining societies overseas.

"Outgoing Afghan President Hamid Karzai will step down next week after a 13-year reign that has seen only limited improvements in infrastructure, health, education and women's rights despite billions of dollars of aid."
"This is not our war, it is a foreigners' war - it is based on their goals," Karzai told government officials as he bid them goodbye at the presidential palace in Kabul on Tuesday." (see related BBC link here)

We bad. ...sure to get hurt again & again.

The dirty, crazed & unwelcome Bull in a china shop, America's wars should stop - now. Bring the troops home!

Voturd?

Democracy may make a majority of voters satisfied or excited.

Many are thrilled at election results, only to be soon frustrated.  "Voturd" is to be disrespected and treated like shit by elected winners soon after a vote. Voturd is recognizing the people you elected are lying sacks of dung.

Voturd - Special this week in Scotland, Sweden & Afghanistan.

Smeared with voturd? A stinking voturd?

People must eat voturd?

Run Rocky Run

Three military officers from Afghanistan disappeared from "cooperative training exercises" on Cape Cod. They'd spent the day shopping at the Cape Cod Mall, and failed to report for duty at Joint Base Cape Cod, under U.S. Central Command, as expected.

Now they could be anywhere in America. Perhaps they're trying to apprehend a dangerous individual.

Or perhaps they're eating pancakes somewhere, happy to avoid the long lonely return flight to a dusty battlefield. Their pitifully besieged nation is now a doormat for Uncle Sam. Scraping shit from boots is rough to handle for a once-proud people...

Nader Raps Our Rulers

Good article by Ralph Nader (link):

"Damaging Our Country from Wars of Choice"

(excerpt) "...Will our media resist hyper-focusing on the “war on terror” and give us other important news about ongoing American life? Will our government pay more attention to preventing the yearly loss of hundreds of thousands of American lives from hospital infections, medical malpractice, defective products, air pollution, unsafe drugs, toxic workplaces and other domestic perils?"

"Not likely."


In fewer words:
-- Bring our soldiers home.
-- Shut down US militarism.
-- Stop funding enemy-creation.
-- Promote social necessities & real safety

Babylon Beware

Militaristic colonial powers, led by the USA, UK & France, once again battle in Babylon.

Our bombing & killing will accomplish nothing in this 6000-year-old killing ground. The area now Iraq and Syria is like quicksand: disagreements abound; foresaken armies, mired in dust, die on the trail of past invaders. We've no place there.

Bring our armies home.

Democracy Sweden

The people of Sweden have gone to the polls & voted for leadership. Turnout was 85.8%

Details can be seen here in English:

A new government is likely. This is good because mass surveillance and lack of transparency were characteristics of the old government, with secret entanglements to foreign intelligence services & militaristic business interests. We might hope our new bosses quickly learn what's been happening.

It's probably too much to hope spying & surveillance will stop, but at least more people will know the extent of Sweden's secret entanglements...

Militarism is dirty business - let's have much less of it.

Baby scotland?

Why's scotland continual junior "partner" ?

Why's government so rigidly in England?

Would the redcoats switch overall administration each 10 years between London & Edinburgh?

Scuzzy big money media won't supply truth.

'Scotland' is a brand of little bitty dog back in Texas ...

See the Moon, only $10

Our societies are dangerously mercantilist. When profit motive underlies most interaction, our humanity suffers.

Sure we need tools for living that cost money. But social leadership can & should limit annoyances. Persistent & repeated marketing calls; beggars camped on every main street; tricks & scams of puffery and advertising and spam; the public needs protections -- but monied interests never cease huckstering. Nothing is sacred. Try buying quiet: all the world's For Sale


• Expect Generosity and exemplify civility

• Constrain Commercialism

• Don't Vote Huckster.

Scotland Corgi

Scotland can soon choose freedom, or continue as lapdog of bigger interests. The Queen keeps her dogs; others keep a donkey in their garden. Too often & for too long, English nobs kept a Scot as bootblack and butler, kept at the edges of the country estate as a beater for the hunt.

Ayeland - vote YES

We can't fully know what will happen, but the bosses are irritated. MegaMedia Corp. paints images of danger. But generations of English dominance haven't stripped-away the pioneering spirit. Scotland as junior partner? No thank you Mum.

Brit politicos love the Treaty of Union while government resides rigidly in London; are they willing from 2020 to switch overall administration between London & Edinburgh every 10 years?

Scotland can afford independence. It's now a colony.

Scotland the Brave
