Treating People Just Like Pawns In Chess

How many wars do you have to start before you get the Nobel Peace Prize? Asking for a kidnapper-in-chief. Corrupt autocrats kidnapping corrupt autocrats, war pigs have the power now.

Blood for oil, blood and soil, feeds the rich while it buries the poor. Think we've all seen this movie before.

Tom Clancy wrote that “War is the ultimate criminal act, an armed robbery writ large," Marine general and two time Medal of Honor recipient Smedley Butler called it a racket.

No matter how you term it, the perpetual war machine keeps turning. Why don't presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor?

Here in Louisville, Kentucky, some folks took to the intersection of Baxter and Bardstown yesterday for an emergency rally, to say no to war on Venezuela and to condemn the neocolonial adventurism of the regime.

New wars are nothing new for this country, was watching 'precision' strike footage before I could even spell 'Gulf War.' Still, there was something different about the one we all woke up to yesterday. A sense of unreality, of absurdity and farce, of are you fucking kidding me?

At this point, the regime is saying the quiet part out loud, not even bothering to maintain the pretense that this isn't a naked resource grab. Going to "run" Venezuela like an Atlantic City casino. Wonder how it'd go over if the French Foreign Legion or a spetsnaz unit were to raid the District of Columbia and seize a corrupt, repressive and murderous autocrat?

Don't worry though, the US military has already wargamed this out years ago and it doesn't end well.

To add to the farce, there's only about 15,000 troops deployed for the whole operation, enough for dick-waving a show of force but completely insufficient for forcibly imposing the felonious one's assertions. (For context, the invasion of Iraq in 2003 involved 248,000 US troops alone, to occupy a country with a few million less people than Venezuela.) Expected something like this to go down when the heat from Epstein got to be too much, but that's at more of a low boil currently, makes you wonder what else we're being distracted from.

'Money for war but can't feed the poor' read the large banner unfurled at the front of the rally, the 'free world' doing that guns vs butter math like the CCCP of old. As the Sage of the '80s, Axl Rose, was known to sing, 'The billions shift from side to side/And the wars go on with brainwashed pride.'

Louisville ain't standing for it.
