When U.S. President George W. Bush spoke about an endless war some took it as mere political speech, or rhetoric designed to gain the top spot on the evening network news.
I did not
W is an agent of his class. The wealthy oil merchants of the land and his intentions are to press for en ever-wider war in all corners of the earth to make the world safe for capital exploitation and unbridled commerce.
This will eventually become a war that reaches into a flu of countries in the Middle East and beyond on behalf of the rich and powerful elites who rule.
Make no mistake; this is a war that has nothing to do with democracy.
The U.S. enters the region, armed to the guild, not to defend democracy, but to defend theocracies, to defend kings, princes and sultans.
To defend U.S. access to vast oil resources in the region.
And how can the U.S credibly claim to be leading a war against terrorism, when the world’s largest training academy for terrorists is The School of the America’s in Georgia where some of the most brutal military dictators in the world are alumni.
The U.S. may have since renamed the school, but it has the same essential mission, to create foreign military leaders who are the enemies of democratic and popular movements. And who are beholden to their imperial masters in Washington.
The graduates of the S.O.A have proven relentless fighters to be short, who are masters of the dark arts of torture, cruel interrogations, rape and mass murder. And who do they fight, but their own people.
To millions of people in Latin America the school is known to the popular name, La Escuela de goldes, The School of Cru dents.
Their scarcely and infamous massacre that cannot be traced to it’s graduates.
The Uraba massacre in Columbia, the el Mozote massacre, the rape and murders of four U.S. church women and the Jesuit massacres in El Salvador, the La Cantuta Massacre in Peru, and hundreds more.
When the U.S. braze about a war on terrorism, there are millions in America to the south who snort inter rigged, for they know another America, which breeds state terrorists.
The people who brought you Nine Eleven, were brought to you by the C.I.A. for they were all graduates of a C.I.A. school of terrorism designed to reek havoc upon the soldiers of the Former Soviet Union.
They were Jihadi’s recruited, paid, indoctrinated, and armed by U.S., Pakistani, Saudi and related intelligence agencies to wage a holy war against the former Communist government in Afghanistan.
And like the proverbial dogs of war, they turned on those who fed and trained them to remind them of what, they unleashed.
And now, with little thought to it’s true beginnings, the nation is once again embroiled in war. A war that was born, not in Kabul, nor in the Tropical Orient, this war began in cool office buildings in Washington where men of wealth and power drew up plans to draw the Former Soviet into a neighboring territory, into what they called, the Afghan Trap.
And now, as Malcolm X once said, “The chicken’s have come home to roost.”
You wanna stop war? Then stop them where they are born….in Washington D.C.

Yeah, English isn't exactly the guy's first language. You ask me to say that shit in Arabic, it might be a tougher read. |

I actually transcribed it from audio...I just put line breaks in when he would stop talking. And the word "mere" in line one should be "neo" as in "neo-political speech" |

that article was hard to read. it's very disjointed and the paragraphs are broken up awkwardly. a lot of times he could have just added two paragraphs together instead of make two paragraphs out of one or two sentences apiece. he even made a paragraph out of an incomplete sentence. i can't take it seriously if it's communicated so poorly. |
