Using a Drowned Refugee Boy to Start a War

http://theantimedia.org/read-this-befor ... other-war/

Warmongers in government and the media are perversely but predictably trying to conscript Aylan’s corpse into their march to escalation. They are contending that Aylan died because the West has not intervened against Syria’s dictator Bashar al-Assad, and that it must do so now to spare other children the same fate.

Um, no, Aylan’s family were Kurdish refugees from Kobani who had to flee that city when it was besieged, not by Assad, but by Assad’s enemy: ISIS.


The resident warmonger and his pro-war propaganda needs a counter.

Eventual Consequences


"The US empire has murdered some 40 million people since World War II (according to John Stockwell), has suppressed popular social change in dozens of countries, has overthrown and assassinated their leaders and has organized and trained right-wing death squads that murdered and tortured their citizens. Both Al Qaeda and ISIS are largely US inventions. "

Christy Clark was crying about this on the 6 o'clock news tonight Apnea.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-c ... -1.3219470

B.C. Premier Christy Clark has announced $1-million in funding to help Syrian refugees settling in the province, including a 1-800 number to help navigate bureaucracy, saying the province wants more immigrants.

I was thinking of the one who was all eager for the Libya intervention and is now doing the same thing for Syria. He practically spams this board with pro-war agitation.

I can think of quite a few.....the paradoxes abound here in confusedville:

This board is running into the arms of the neo liberalism whose resource use it purports to spotlight.

It is awash with the types one would expect to find on the WSJ or Forbes (a few bizarros would qualify for Stormfront).

And to top the list of bizarre shifts, we even have our resident has a hard on for white supremacy with mixed race kids!

Capitalist social relations abound with contradictions and the refugee crisis is the globalisation of labour value in action.

And as anyone can easily discover, the US was arming what would become ISIS. The list of nations that armed Syria makes you understand how powerful countries are just basically having a proxy war in the ME. Cmon it is so plain to see. ME is the pivotal area in the world because of its oil supplies. Human casualties and displacements are just seen as collateral damage. Blaming one side or another loses the perspective of the inclusion of every major player in this sad but ultimately predictable outcome in the Middle East.

This is a pro-capitalist West article so keep that in mind, but probably accurate what they fail to mention is how much US has been involved in sending weapons to that region and that by far it has sent the most. ummm i wonder why they left out the US.

thank you Ap for those links

Who is John Stockwell and why should we care? How many people other empires had murdered since WWII, are there any rankings of sorts, and who does the counting? Also, I'll bet a quarter against a rotten potato that you do not know the meaning of the English verb " to murder" or at least it's difference from the verb " to kill".

There basically just 2 empires on this planet.

Capital of which you are feverishly keen to join. Its natural of course and sexy as they do some nice rock harmonies whilst they bomb you to bits.

The Islamic empire. Kinda like Moses meets Bill Gates.

The rest of the world serves one or the other but mostly one.

Who is Donetsk and why should we care? What the fuck difference is it who other Empires have killed since WWII. Do you think if you make a pissing contest out of the body counts that nullifies things? Sounds like "the other kids were doing it too" defense.

The only other Empire after WWII was the USSR and you can do your own research to find out their death toll and also how the counting is done.

The USSR was not an empire unless you consider the globalisation of circular social relations on a par with robbing the indigenous of their homelands and murdering them.

Additionally, just as we cluster one ethnicity in a bloc, namely the West, one has to recognise that there are other similar blocs worldwide. It is not entirely to correct to characterise Egypts predicament without noting the background that that entity functions in, a largely occupied Arab economic bloc, out of which wealth is systematically being syphoned to the West, a separate ethnic bloc.

In that context, Egypts current predicament is less clear with colonialism instead looming larger as the chief cause of her problem and of course, the consumer excesses of the colonial bloc and its impact on the global shared climate adding to the problem.

The west stopped being an ethnic block about when Japan & Korea joined in, stopped being a sensible descriptor when Australia became Anglo, along with NZ, neither of which are what could be called ethnic homogeneous. I think your roll has a flat tyre.
