Don't ignore America's filthy Yemen war

Do even 2 of 100 Americans know we're helping the Saudis destroy Yemen to rid their tiny, impoverished neighbor of Shi'ite rebels that took over the capital Sana? For twenty-seven months now Uncle Sam has been providing intelligence, logistical support and, oh yes, tens of billions in US weaponry to perpetrate the starvation of millions of Yemenis not blown up by Uncle's bombs. 

And the justification for these crimes against humanity, aside from the totalitarian Saudi government being our best Middle East buddy and WMD customer, is that the Saudis pitch this madness as a proxy war against their real target Iran, whom the US sees as its biggest Middle East threat as well. Mainstream media dare not expose US war crimes in Yemen for fear of losing access to information, the only currency of any news outlet. 

Compounding Saudis' crimes is that Yemen is now a failed state, inspiring both Al Qaeda and Islamic State to plant their flag and grow a new franchise. But that doesn't bother the US war party. They use new extremist moves caused by crazed US foreign policy to demand more and more and more for the grotesquely bloated US military. That vicious cycle of war and more war is good for the war party...bad for humanity.

US, European leaders avoid best way to thwart terror attacks

Britain's May and America's Trump sure know how to ignore the elephant in the room when it comes to terror attacks. After the third one in England in 75 days, British Prime Minister May promoted stricter regulation of the internet which she claims is a 'safe space' for terrorists, without offering a shred of evidence such a draconian restriction of freedom would prevent a deranged person from driving over pedestrians. Equally delusional, Trump used the latest attack to trumpet his travel ban of Muslims from 6 predominantly Muslim nations that hasn't a prayer of passing the Constitutional smell test and is oblivious to the reality most such attacks are conducted by long term residents, even naturalized citizens.

The elephant, a Tyrannosaurus Rex actually, is that America, with British and French support and cheerleading, has been relentlessly bombing 7 Muslim nations, arming Islamic radicals to help their effort to overthrow the secular regime of Bashar Assad, and, get this, sells hundreds of billions in weaponry to Saudi Arabia which works relentlessly to spread Wahabism, the austere version of Islam which provides theological foundation for the very terrorism we claim needs eradicating.

It doesn't take much insight to understand the West has little sincere interest in ending violent attacks such as recent ones in London and Manchester. They serve the war party which uses them to further restrict our freedoms, solidify their grip on power, maintain perpetual war and pour billions into their coffers from arms sales to the very folks enabling violent attacks.
