Send Gas Masks Not Bombs: Syria



America is on the verge of entering a war. It just feels like a Wednesday. I don’t even have to wonder if the war continues for 10 more years will my son be forced to join. We no longer force boys to join before they are even adults. We instill that fear in them by making them sign a draft card just in case. Now we Convince people to go to war when they are not even adults, so that we can place the full weight of responsibility for civilian deaths on their heads when they return home. Instead of on the heads of state. It doesn’t feel like the verge of war. 

Isn’t that how war has always been? People making these choices from ivory towers, whose children will not be slain on the battlefield, or if they are, they will know eternal honor. When really most of the life lost is in the currency of innocent civilians. Powerless people who sometimes resort to violence out of desperation but who never have any power in this world to change things drastically. Not alone. They don’t know they can change the future. We must all refuse to fight. 

The powers that be can keep killing civilians with drones and Sarin gas but the more they do, the more it will be obvious, Which Side Are You On? There are only two, the side of the people and the side of their masters. I may not be the most disenfranchised person in this world, which is why I will always be an ally. None of these changes will happen alone in a vacuum. We have to teach the children. Future generations are capable of thinking everything we think of as normal is wrong. 

We think it every day as a society. “Flat Earth Society” and the like. We even mock prior cultures for what they did not understand. What will future generations mock us for still believing? Keep in mind Sarin gas is so terrible the American Military was supposed to do away with its stores in the late 1990s. It goes against what we as a world are supposed to believe is unreasonable do to do people in war. 

So did someone of superior military clearance of one of the world’s powers hand over Sarin gas to either side of a horrific civil war. Or is this just another lie like the Gulf of Tonkin Incident, the attack on Pearl Harbor, and 9/11 to start another war of aggression so we can continue to live our lives of excess oil as long as possible before it runs out. 

Off the oil! Harness the power of the sun, not from millions of year old sludge in the ground but from the sky. Send Gas Masks Not Bombs.

The global elite are trying to force the United States into the civil war in Syria. Obama better hold strong. If the Military Industrial Complex is allowed to escalate this war and the violence being suffered by very poor civilians at the hands of very wealthy there will be a large uprising. People have had enough, for once all 1.3 billion of us with internet access are watching intently. They can only pretend for so long that it has no effect on current events. It may not have at first. But we have flexed our wings. We have learned to fight back. The only battles we are losing right now are the ones that can’t fight through the constant droning of entertainment news and be heard. We are listening and watching. We need to start being more selective about the things we care about seeing or at least about why we choose to see them.
