Nothing is more illustrative of the fact that inbreeding (incest,
entrenchment, nepotism, keeping company exclusively with a select few) breeds
madness than U.S. global relations particularly with Asia, and acutely in this moment with the Near/Middle
East, and with Africa.
Illegally arming “insurgents” (“rebels”,
“militants”, “freedom fighters”, call them what you like, expediency changes the names) against rising political parties in Reagan's IRAN-CONTRA affair (the
U.S. has continuously armed hostile elements against democratic governments
and people’s struggles in the Americas); or  |
| Former U.S. darling in Iraq taken down "taken out" |
Forcing neo-liberal economics on a
people as in the (1993-2001 Lewinskied) William Jefferson CLINTON/NATO war on
Yugoslavia on a claim that Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic was “ethnically cleansing” Kosovar Albanians, a claim later altered to a U.S. war against Yugoslavia’s resistance to regional "liberalization" and
deregulation of markets; or |
| U.S. soldiers in chemical weapons gear |
 |
| Birth defects in Iraqis |
Overthrowing governments, bombing
and looting cities and treasures, massacring and maiming and causing health defects
in surviving men, women and children, even newborns (where were/where are the U.S. “right to lifers”?)
in (George W. BUSH’s AFGHANISTAN/IRAQ and (Barack Hussein Obama’s LIBYA/SOMALIA/EGYPT/Sudan/Congo
et.al., now arming, threatening, invading SYRIA, imposing deepening illegal sanctions
warfare, inflicting lethal injury on Iranians for a nonexistent nuclear weapons
industry); or 
U.S. drone attacks on AFGHANISTAN AND PAKISTAN and YEMEN
and on the poorest of all, SOMALIA, as some of its people commit “piracy” on
the high seas (as Palestinian youth throw rocks) in a desperate and pathetic response to the nuclear-powered rich’s
ageless, unending pillaging and plundering
of their land and peoples ─
…often against a “Noriega,” some former
U.S. allied-dictator/strongman/warlord/drug lord turned U.S.-declared “demon” or demonic terrorist depressing
“women” or “killing his own people”

| Former U.S. darling in the Americas Manuel Noriega |
 |
| U.S. education protesters U.S. force |
 |
| U.S. surveillance paranoia control |
 |
| U.S. failure to care for its own |
…just as U.S. invaders in their
acts of foreign invasion and occupation not only kill and repress foreigners; they simultaneously criminally neglect, kill and repress “their own people” into
submission to the will of war: the manufacturers, sellers and traffickers in the
materiel of war; the makers of and lobbyists and propagandists for war, the warmongers, and the office-holding (incestuously entrenched nepotistic keepers-of-company-with
a select few) inbreeds who perpetrate madness.

ENDLESSLY déjà vu
How much will it take?
How many lives must be
lost before we toss the bums and their bombs out?
A bit of liberty with my apology to Dylan
 |
| U.S. neglect destruction of public education |
How many
times must cannon balls fly before they are forever banned?
How many
deaths will it take ‘til we know too many people have died?
How many
times must we look up before we see the sky?
How many ears
must we have before we hear people cry?
How many
years can a mountain exist before it’s washed to the sea?
How many
times can we turn our heads pretending we do not see?
How many
years can some people exist before they
can be free?

| Syrians protest foreign meddling |
In today’s news from PressTV
The U.S. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel today said the U.S.
military was ready to take action against Syria if President Obama gave the
green light to which Alexei Pushkov, head of the International Committee of Russia’s
lower house of parliament, responded that the Obama government is
‘Inescapably moving towards war in
Syria just like Bush was [moving] towards war in Iraq [and] Just like in Iraq,
this war will not be legitimate and Obama will become a Bush clone.’

According to a statement issued today by the Syrian Foreign Ministry
‘An agreement was concluded today
in Damascus between the Syrian government and the United Nations during the
visit of the UN High Representative for Disarmament Angela Kane.’
The accord would ‘allow the UN team
led by Professor Aake Sellstroem to investigate allegations of chemical weapons
use in Damascus Province… effective immediately.’

Political analyst Webster Griffin Tarpley said yesterday in
an interview with Press TV that given the “changed military landscape”
surrounding Syria and “the presence of Russia on the side of Syria ... and the
presence of Iran [and] other new powers,” the United States’
‘…constant adventurism that was
criminal in 2003 [now becomes] suicidal adventurism’
