More people will hate Americans if the Obama Administration strikes Syria, says a U.S. national human rights leader Thursday.The UK-based paper The Guardian explains why people must protest the war-related lies and propaganda and the atrocities that U.S.-NATO-led wars of aggression bring to the innocent.
“By joining in this war, on the side of an armed opposition dominated by people with no concern for democracy or human rights, the United States will make itself more hated in the region than its previous military actions already have,” said David Swanson, author of War Is A Lie, in an email.
Swanson is among a massive number of people globally working to prevent an attack on Syria. They are openly confronting Barack Obama and his administration’s falsehoods about Syria, despite his well-known threats to target anyone anywhere who stands against him and his militaristic drive for Full Spectrum Dominance.
“While this war has nothing to do with defending the United European war over Energy Security States, it will in fact endanger it,” Swanson said in a written statement on Thursday.
Facts that bogus evidence and propaganda have been used to enter a military conflict with Syria are nothing new to Swanson or the millions of others standing up against Obama, including at least one grandmother in Texas.
“Regardless of all of this, killing Syrians because they killed Syrians is WRONG,” exclaimed Lee Loe, a Texas Grandmother for Peace. “Call in the folks who know conflict resolution. Send in folks from Obama’s Atrocities Prevention Board!
“What a great time to put it into action,” Loe told Dupré, as a member of the group United for Peace and Justice. “Bring all the CIA members, troops, weapons home,” she says,
“A friend calls Pres. Obama, Pres. Obomber. He needs to live up to his promises to be a peacemaker.” .
Facts that a U.S. war against Syria was finalized in June 2012 are nothing new to Swanson.
All U.S. wars of aggression are based on lies, he says, and Swanson is not the only person who recognizes this, as seen by global outrage about Obama’s latest false flag.
Colonel (retired) Ann Wright says about Swanson’s book, War Is A Lie, ”While Americans elect leaders whom they trust are honest, truthful and really care about the kids they send to kill for our country, War Is A Lie reveals decade after decade the sordid side of our history — that our elected officials lie us into war with stunning and embarrassing regularity and are little concerned about the harm to innocent civilians, much less to members of our own military.”
Wright is author of Voices of Conscience.
The Obama Administration is preparing to strike Syria any moment. Reports are circulating of the US Sixth Fleet carrying a total of 300 cruise missiles and positioned off the Syrian and Lebanese coasts, while rumours are spreading across the U.S. that military personnel must remain within 50 miles of bases starting Monday, as
reported Tuesday by
Press TV.
“Mission creep,” military terminology for expanding operations beyond the original stated goal, is a primary concern for U.S. officials and lawmakers such as Barbara Lee, especially after over a decade of the U.S. fighting illegal wars against Iraqis, Afghans and Libyans.
Graphic footage has surfaced of a heinous crime committed in Syria’s civil war. Videos showed civilians suffocating and dying as a result of suspected use of chemical weapons.
A massacre occurred near Damascus the evening UN weapons inspectors arrived there to investigate the possible use of Sarin-like nerve agent or Chlorine gas in the Aleppo area back in May 2013.
Some U.S. officials have stated that Syrian armed militias orchestrated the attacks in May.
The Syrian regime had military victories in Mid-Syria and would, therefore, stand to suffer the most damage if it deployed non-conventional weapons the day UN inspectors arrive in Syria, says the group, Arab Organizing (AROC).
“And yet the U.S. chose to level unsubstantiated allegations against the Syrian regime that it used chemical weapons and mobilized its forces for a military strike, even prior to the UN commencing its investigation,” AROC on Thursday in an email.
“We condemn any US involvement in the attacks on Syria,” the group says, urging Americans to stand in solidarity with innocent Syrians. “We demand an end to US military, political and financial support of Israel, Arab dictatorships and repressive regimes.”
AROC is among dozens of human rights defending organizations globally that are planning to take to the streets Saturday, Aug. 31 to protest Obama’s stated intent to strike Syria.
Why ‘we must protest’ wars of agression
UK -based Stop the War coalition, founded in Feb. 2003, is also calling for no military attack on Syria from the U.S., Britain or France and have already started protests across the road from the entrance of Downing Street in London.
“Ten years ago this week, Britain’s biggest ever political protest took to the streets of London to try to stop the war on Iraq, or at least British participation in it,
The Guardian reports today.
Those protests were not in vain, despite not stopping the Iraq War, the paper says, adding, ”[B]ut let it be said once more: on every point, those who marched were right.”
“The Iraqi people have paid a staggering price for the Bush-Blair war of choice – not least those families now learning details of the bestial abuse and murder of their loved ones by soldiers who at least knew well enough that the killing and torturing was not being carried out ‘in our name’.”
“So we can be sure that demonstrations do not change everything; but equally it is wrong to say that they do not change anything,” The Guardian‘s Andrew Murray says. “It is in that margin that political struggle is conducted.
“It is my view,” Murray concludes, “that when the campaigning zeal and broad progressive politics of the anti-war movement are allied to a resurgent labour movement – the missing ingredient in 2003 – then we will be on the threshold of that world of peace and social justice that got 2 million people out on the streets on a freezing February morning.”
It’s hard to imagine more people hating America than already do, but I know a number of Arabs who likely will finally realize that we are the most despicable country on earth – and that’s saying a lot. We are a rogue nation that cannot be trusted to obey the most basic rules of conduct.
This is the same as others hating Americans because our leaders promote torture. Wars of aggression, torture and other illegal, inhumane, human rights abuses make every American less safe and more vulnerable to terrorist attacks.
LMFAO another useless posting
If I’m reading your post correctly then retired jar head is more like it, I’ve had the misfortune of meeting people like you. As brain dead as a corpse – you basically are one. If you support killing of innocents in any way and worse if you participated in any way and have not acquired any form of compassion, empathy or remorse then you are nothing but an oxygen thief and a big part of the problem. If I am wrong then please accept my apologies.
