Soldiers chant, 'God bless America,' as civilians bombed in Fallujah

Only twisted and warped human beings sing and chant while bombs drop on innocent civilians. Indeed, humans must be trained to murder each other but they do not require training to Love -- does that reality tell us something?

I was prompted to write this piece after watching a video of American soldiers chanting, "God Bless America," as bombs fell on innocent civilians in Fallujah, the scene of yet another major American war crime. It was truly tragic to listen to the warped, exasperated chants of Americans fighting for oil companies and Wall St profits -- indeed, the wars the US prosecutes today and over the past decade are wars of plunder, mass murder and Wall St/Banker profits -- there is no honour fighting these wars of resource appropriation/theft. Clinton, Bush, Obama and their cohorts are all war criminals of the highest order for waging criminal wars with horrendous consequences to local populations.

Justification of these resource-thieving wars for profit is that they're keeping Americans safe, when the facts dictate the reverse.

All America's new wars fall under the broad heading of wars on 'terror' which is clearly a word, a noun. The impossibility of waging a military war on a word notwithstanding, no war allows for the killing of civilians -- a practice in which America leads the world, and which also defines America as a terrorist nation; though we are aware of the usual inversion of reason and logic in the US media.

Nevertheless, the world outside America is sane and does not invert meanings, blame victims or wage wars on innocent people. Now think, these matters are obvious and simple to apprehend and soldiers are the first to realise America is fighting criminal wars of appropriation, plunder and mass murder -- it's little wonder that suicide in the US military today exceeds combat deaths, an extra-ordinary situation but not a perplexing one.

A little investigation on the Internet reveals gruesome pictures of American troops holding the heads of dead Iraqis with large portions of their skulls blown off and brains oozing in the hands of troops, whose faces are out of frame. Now realise that these faceless images may protect the identity of those in the frames but they certainly do not protect the mental well-being of those involved in these inhuman acts.

We return to the fact that humans must be indoctrinated/deceived to kill if they are not threatened directly and that humans need no training to love.

The case today are the injustices of wars of plunder and the high personal toll exacted on the troops fighting them. Chanting while civilians are dying or taking snaps while holding heads with brains spilling out certainly does not induce an easy sleep now or at any time in the future. It is clear that these activities traumatise the mind for life.

US troops are under immense pressure to conform and go with the pathological flow; huge tension is created in the psyches of soldiers until the pressure reaches breaking point and the soldier either suicides or goes on a killing rampage.

Now to the culprits and others responsible for prosecuting these criminal wars, Wall St Bankers, 'defense' companies and energy corporations, which together own the politicians.

The ONE thing they all have in common is their sociopathology -- they could care less for their victims or the poor fools they send to murder, destroy and maim for nothing nobler than stinking PROFIT!

However, at long last it seems the Hague courts are feeling the heat for allowing NATO/US forces to avoid heinous war crimes charges. Law makers around the globe have cited the grievous crimes committed by the US administration and its executive. That means Obama and a number of previous presidents are criminals, however, we should all be made aware that we are not obliged to follow the examples or orders of criminals. We cannot avoid responsibility, as the onus is on us to restore representative government and justice to our respective nations.

Today wars on words/nouns and innocent civilians are fought for the benefit of a few psychopaths. A recent report suggests that most US leaders and their officials will soon be unable to leave the country for fear of arrest. It is a shame the US population remains tolerant of their criminal leaders and refuses to hold them to account for their OBVIOUS crimes. Nevertheless, the USA is only one rogue nation among many civilised nations in the world today, its situation is clearly untenable.
