Phil Ochs: We're the cops of the world

[Generic Other]

CAUTION: Do not watch this video if you are unwilling to see the after effects of US chemical weapons sprayed on 20,000 Vietnamese villages.

Agent Orange, the International War Crime that keeps on killing, and killing, and killing...

- According to the statistics of Vietnamese Agent Orange Victims Association, there were approximately 4.8 million people affected by agent orange/dioxin.

Approximately 3 million are still alive and suffering today. New victims are born every day.

1. Why do you hate America? Syria is the bad guys. Think of the children.

But don't think about our drone strikes.

5. If *they* did it (or we can say they did) then we can bomb shit out of the devilspawn.

Obviously - what better target for our bombs, our tens of thousands of bombs of all kinds, for all purposes right up to a world cracking end? We aren't worried about any consequences from *that*.

But if we did it, what can we do? Admit it?

But if we admit it, how can we use it to bomb another country?

A real conundrum for the propagandists of the MIC.

2. Not only are we the cops of the world but, it seems, we

are the world's biggest hypocrites.
I read earlier today that half the children being born in Fallujah, have birth defects and as many as one in five births around the rest of Iraq.

3. I did not go and search for this video specifically

I was looking for the Phil Ochs' song. I fear there is horrific evidence available via google of far worse crimes committed in my name.

4. The crimes are bad and the evidence exists but too many Americans are willing

to believe lies in order to avoid dealing with the reality of our rouge state.
Both the song and the video are powerful reminders of the ruthless nature of capitalists.

6. I want to see this OP kicked, so all DUers get a shot at spotting it.

So whoever knows how to keep a post kicked, please kick it.

7. Thanks

Sometimes I doubt whether I should post something because of its graphic nature. But this time it seemed as if I dare not cover my eyes considering our current beating of war drums.

I appreciate knowing someone else thinks this video provides some real food for thought.

8. It's a total experience.

Not pleasant, for sure.
I'm a bit inured to seeing photos of innocents in Falluja being born deformed, and their parents cancerous.

It has to stop.
