Uncle Sam deliver weapons of death to Israel for perpetrating massacres

"It is to be regretted that the rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government to their selfish purposes. Distinctions in society will always exist under every just government. Equality of talents, of education, or of wealth can not be produced by human institutions. In the full enjoyment of the gifts of Heaven and the fruits of superior industry, economy, and virtue, every man is equally entitled to protection by law; but when the laws undertake to add to these natural and just advantages artificial distinctions, to grant titles, gratuities, and exclusive privileges, to make the rich richer and the potent more powerful... There are no necessary evils in government. Its evils exist only in its abuses. If it would confine itself to equal protection, and, as Heaven does its rains, shower its favors alike on the high and the low, the rich and the poor, it would be an unqualified blessing. In the act before me there seems to be a wide and unnecessary departure from these just principles."

Re: Qana Massacre July 30, 2006 [Graphic collage of photos]


Once again the world sees what Israel is truly capable of. It does not hold neither international laws - Geneva Convention in particular - nor concern for human rights in high regard.

The United States and Great Britain remain welded in the steel of intercourse of complicity in supplying the advanced military hardware, artillery and miscellaneous to their most important geopolitical ally of the so-called democracy in the Middle East...the State of Israel.

The powers that engage in providing sales and support to Israel Defense Force at Israeli government's request do not think twice. They do not have the depth of reconsideration in remorsefulness.

The powers - the defense contractors and government officers by way of the industrial-military-government complex that rise in unrepentantly fervent rally to unite in solidarity with the State of Israel - shall merit the utmost censure through complete revocation and stripping of its autocratic claim to the utilization of moral rights in diplomacy (well-intentioned or not) and the conduct of war.

Deprived without ambiguity. Rebuked without reversal in retraction. Dishonor without reclamation.

The United States and Great Britain resemble the pair of husband and wife who own the un-neutered, testosterone-pumped-to-the-hilt male mixed breed of Bulldog and Rottweiler that have been thoroughly trained by demonstrating physical and psychological examples of abuse & cruelty to bare razor-sharp teeth that inspire fear and sow destruction by destroying helpless mammals and children on the street once unleashed to the owners' principal amoral attitude in preferred obliviousness.

When all is done and the result is the tragedy of chaos and horror, the owners pretend not to give a care and are subsequently let off the hook with a mere albeit intentional light weak slap on the wrist because the investigators - trained to detect the behavior and tonal pattern of humans telling lies - take the owners on their word that their pet in question broke loose from the leash at the doghouse and jump to escape from the impossibly high fence of the backyard to run with aggressive furor towards the innocent, happily free-spirited children joyfully slashing in the inflatable swimming pools, riding tricycles, playing board games and cheerily laughing as well as naturally curious small & furry suburban mammals strolling about.

The investigators neither detain nor cite the owners. The reason is simple.

The owners are polite, well-mannered and composed with the barely expressed demeanor of shock & disbelief. They are professional in civil conduct dealing with the investigators on the scene of the immensely disproportionate crime. The investigators found them charming and quite persuasive in their protesting their innocence with the fancied story of what occured that led to the soul-blackening tragedy.

The owners are the multi-millionaire executives who hold highly prestigious positions for the large industrial corporation that develop weapons of mass destruction and S-level security clearance with the Octagon.

In other words, the 'attaining to high heaven' socioeconomic status and their prestige in lucrative business with the military-industrial-government complex give them the carte blanche to sanction the terrible crimes with impunity and moral compatoseness.

The owners may be unfailingly polite and sweetly charming, but they are the embodiment of corporate sociopathy that thrive to deliver the weapons of mass murder and unbearable grief to extract profit in blood and tears.

Therefore...they consolidate wealth and power into the unstoppable killing machine that thirst for the gushing geyser of human blood as a substitute for refined oil to keep the engine of Despotism and Death running at a frenzied hypersonic pace.
