Today is not a proud day to be a Canadian or Australian.
Today Australia and Canada begin carpet-bombing Iraq and
Syria, aiding the United States in their disastrous War of Terror that
continues to spread across the globe.
While ISIS or Islamic State is a very real and very frightening group,
the continued bombing of innocent people in multiple countries will not solve
this problem but only continue to make the situation worse and the consequences
will be ever increasing and result in unforseen attacks at home.
For nearly 20 years the Canadian and Australian (along with the United Kingdom, Italy, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Turkey)
have spent billions of taxpayers money, not to buy but to develop F-35
US built fighter jets, a project that was conceived by the United States
Department of Defence as requiring participation in their War of Terror. I guess it was decided that tax money should
be used to fund this project because current fighter jet technology was not up
to Canada or Australia’s killing needs.
All this time, both countries were fighting alongside the United States
in multiple countries fighting war that were not declared against enemies that
were created, supplied and funded by the United States itself. During all these wars fighter jets have never
been used by the United States, Canada, or Australia so this investment seemed
like a total waste of taxpayer money.
Then Islamic State entered the picture.
It is perfect timing just as the need for fighter jets has arisen;
Lockheed Martin is about to deliver its first round of jets to its happy and
eager customers.
For 3 years that United States has been trying to over through
the Assad regime in Syria by funding extremist groups in hope that they will
destabilize the government and topple the regime. Groups that have received funding include
al-Qaeda, whom is the United States sworn enemy and the exact group they have
been fighting for the last 13 years in the neighbouring country of Iraq (a
group that was not in Iraq before the “Coalition of the Willing” began before
the invasion of Iraq) as well as rebel groups that morphed and eventually
became Islamic State.
Over the long life of the War of Terror the media has never
been critical of these wars and has always been calling for the heads of those
that are responsible and justifying the United States and participating
countries going into foreign countries and creating absolute chaos, while
killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people and displacing millions. It is obvious that these wars have been
beneficial to no one but a very few people that control US and EU corporate
interests, and that the wars have been nothing more then thinly veiled schemes
to put foreign oil and mineral deposits into these corporations hands. These few people that are control these
corporations also use their money and influence to control the mainstream media
and its message, control our politicians and dictate their agendas, as well as,
controlling the banking system to which all governments and their citizens are
indebt too.
At home we continue to see politicians talk about how there
is no money for education and healthcare but in a blink of an eye they can
dedicate hundreds of millions of dollars and in the United States case
trillions of dollars to a war that is a continual losing battle. People need to ask themselves why they pay
taxes and what the most important thing that their taxes should be dedicated
to. If healthcare and education are not near
on the top of that list you need to do some soul searching and question your
personal beliefs.
It is a sad day to be a Canadian or Australian as it is a
sad day to be a citizen of all nations around the globe as we sit back and let
our governments use our money to create absolute chaos in the name of keeping
us safe, while endangering everyone on this planet. Every step taken by the military is always a
misstep and there are always unforseen consequences. This isn’t a battle that can be won by
bombing and these are wars that were taken up without a plan to ever win.
For every million-dollar bomb dropped think that money could
be used to hire numerous teachers, buy medical equipment or hire more doctors
to reduce waiting time and improve care.
For every innocent life lost (which there will be hundreds of thousands
more and eventually millions as this will continue to escalate) there is more
fuel added to the fires of hate, which creates new soldiers to fight the
military juggernaut of the “Coalition of the Willing.”
As a Canadian living in Australia it is a sad day to be a
citizen of either but it is also a good day to stand up to your government and
oppose these morally corrupt politicians and their friends wars.
