The great majority of high-risk tours of duty are white and hispanic. Blacks sign up for mostly out of the line of duty jobs. They certainly do not perish is numbers above what would be normal for their percentage of the population, or percerntage in the military. And they have not been signing up much in the past two decades. Not that I blame them. The military was so hard up around 2005-6, it started accepting psychos and ex-cons. Hence the 4 black "marines" who murdered the commanding officer (white) and his wife (black) in 2008. Obama did not say any of them looked like his sons. Nor did he say the wife looked like his daughters.<br />When I think about what Obama has actually said, blow by blow, (what he's actually done is even worse), I truly don't get it why any white person would want anything but to see the back of him getting the hell out of Dodge. His fans must be from money and live in areas with few "minorities" (are they still). Otherwise, it's just insanity.<br />Still, the Republicans may not be much better but Romney, should he win, won't be blaming Obama.anti-war-nessnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-61028860674568824322012-09-07T04:59:39.168-07:002012-09-07T04:59:39.168-07:00Rattlesnakes should be killed and the rich should ...<i>Rattlesnakes should be killed and the rich should be crippled by high taxation of their wealth.

There is substantial evidence, some of which I linked to above, that it did. There is a lot more evidence where that came from. Google for the pentagon military advisors' scandal, or for how the Valerie Plame case came down (not the politically-motivated prosecution, but the revenge leak), or the bit where someone from the Bush administration asked the CIA to dig up dirt on Juan Cole. <br /><br />Who is made happy or sad by this fact is irrelevant. You will never learn anything about reality by trying to figure out what beliefs will make various powerful people happy, though you may have a successful life working at think tanks and broadcast news that way.

It was in 2003 as the troops were pouring into Baghdad. I had not realized it at the time, but prior to and during the invasion, the MSM had been pounding home the theme that the invasion of Iraq was good for the people of Iraq, that the invasion was going to save them from the horrors of living in a backward nation under a cruel and oppressive dictator. I guess this MSM theme was in the back of my mind at the time, but only subconsciously.<br /><br />Then one of the major news networks had some reporter reporting live from Baghdad as the troops took control. The reporter was telling us about what Baghdad looked like and so forth. He started talking about the cell phone towers in Baghdad. He said something like this: "the troops are now taking control of communications here in Baghdad. Baghdad has cell phone tower, would believe it? It is really a very modern city!" <br /><br />Then at that moment, a certain micro-expression came over his face briefly. It was an expression that told me that he knew he had screwed up. At that moment I did not know what it was he had done wrong. But he stopped talking for a moment. There was an uncomfortable short silence. Then he cleared his throat and went on to another subject. <br /><br />I wondered to myself what it was that make him so uncomfortable. I thought about it for a while and finally realized that he was saying something that went counter to the dominant theme of the invasion--that it was all for the good of the people of Iraq. Well, the thing about the cell phone towers and how the city of Baghdad was so nice and modern, belied, ran counter to, that dominant MSM theme. <br /><br />That was an epiphany for me. I first realized then that the MSM wanted war. And I began to realize the depth and omnipresence of MSM propaganda. This was one of the personal discoveries that radicalized me.<br /><br />I thought about it for years afterwards. I began to see that the american military is a machine to do many things for Capital, one of those things being to 'open new markets' for Capital to sell its goods and find new cheap labor. That is really what these wars are about, at least in large part. Capital, which controls america, always wants new markets to exploit for the purposes of selling its good and for exploiting cheap labor. That is why Capital and its tool, the MSM, hated the USSR, pre-sellout Red China, etc, and why they hate North Korea.<br /><br />It's not a conspiracy; it's an ecosystem.PropagandistHackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00032093796955347846noreply@blogger.com
