How many millions have been killed for U.S. empire ???

I am spreading the word to my niece.

She is spreading the word to her son.

I am so grateful for independent media and the internet.

I am so sick and tired of the lies and deceit.

The truth is brutal, but I am glad that I am informed.

every night. It helped stop the wars and it did not allow us to pretend that we were separate from it.

Today we have to wait for ISIS to remind us that war is hell and is not about profit.
