9/11: Leave us out of the smug parade. Stop wailing.

With absolutely repugnant cynicism, and so far with complete impunity, our imperial leaders and their media dogs—warmongers all—  have exploited and continue to exploit this anniversary to the hilt for reasons that have little to do with genuine feelings for any of the victims—Americans and non-Americans caught in this still developing tragedy—as both sets, protestations aside, count for nothing as far as they are concerned. If they really cared, they would be extremely reluctant to suggest let alone eagerly seek military confrontations across the globe.

A child in the Fallujah (Iraq) ruins. None of this had to happen.

Meantime we must ask: where’s the backbone of this nation? The Russkies lost almost one million people in ONE battle in World War 2.  Just check the Leningrad siege story. At the end of the war the USSR had lost more than 25 million people—in those days the population of California and Texas combined. The US, less than 1/20th of that, all military personnel, and not an inch of its territory had been invaded. In the grotesquely mismanaged battle of the Somme in the First World War, more than one million combatants perished, with the British Army alone suffering more than 60,000 casualties in the first day.

Let those figures  put matters into some perspective for all of these crying hypocrites, easy to manipulate low-info types, and cheap flag-wavers that fester all over America.

In Iraq alone —a country that did NOT attack us (it was mostly Saudis on the 9/11 assault team, assuming that story is to be believed), and which we attacked under trumped up charges, a fact now widely accepted even by much of the courtesan press, we have caused more than 1.5 million casualties, millions of refugees, and turned an ancient nation with a precious cultural patrimony to rubble and constant chaos. And let’s not mention Afghanistan, or Libya, and now Syria and probably Iran, where the masters of the empire, under one pretext or another—all fabricated—have pushed and continue to push America with robotic single-mindedness towards war.

THAT disturbing truth is to be reflected upon on this anniversary, what 9/11 has done to this nation’s psyche, to our Constitution, to our already terribly weakened democracy…and especially how 9/11 has facilitated the coming of the American Reich, in sheep’s clothes, of course, behind the most “patriotic” and “ethical” proclamations, while injecting a constant state of frenzy in the quick-to-panic modern American mind.

To close, WE say to the media whores at NBC, CBS, CNN, ABC, FOX,  and the rest of the alphabet soup of mainstream media, print and other sectors of the establishment’s noise machine, and to the masses of cheap, prostituted and posturing politicians: spare us your crocodile tears and jingoist chest thumping. Go fuck yourselves.
