Obama: more of the same (BIT)

This is how we are spreading our influence in the name of spreading peace, progress, and democracy. Is this what the MIC, Obama, and NATO have in store for the world?

At one point the Arab news person is heard saying, "Those who kill their own people have lost all credibility" a reference to those involved in 9/11, which is known throughout the Arab world to have been an inside job.

When you make war, you have to kill some kids

How can anyone stand by while drones and jets bomb innocents killing 50 collaterals to every intended target? If all we can do is stand by then we cannot hypocritically cry so loudly when one of our own kills our own children!

Shell of a naga monster deteriorating fast

Bush-era policies, continued and expanded by Obama, have led to the murder of over 1 million Iraqi children and civilians. It was a US war crime to target their water purification facilities. These victims of our military-industrial complex (MIC) aggression are no threat to us. But we are to them. We are to them.
 
How inhuman we must seem the longer we dehumanize them. They live, feel, die, love, work, take care of their children just as we do. Yet our government, for and by the people, has been taken over by war mongers and passive profiteers.

How many of us protested when Bush invaded in spite of the will of the American public? How many more of us did nothing, or even attached patriotic flags to our cars and homes in support of military aggression?

Now a newer better storyteller sits in the White House making excuses for the powers that be, a man who took his Nobel Peace Prize and started eight new wars with it. And what are we doing? Mourning a minor incident of military-grade killing, what our soldiers do on an average morning abroad, calling it the worst catastrophe ever.

At War with FEAR (Pema Chodron)

Buddhist nun Pema Chodron, When Things Fall Apart; "Sucker Punch" samurai (video)

Samurai Girl 3 (Deseo-One)

Once there was a young warrior. Her teacher told her that she had to do battle with fear. She didn't want to do that. 

  

It seemed too aggressive; it was scary; it seemed unfriendly. 

  

But the teacher said she had to do it and gave her the instructions for the battle. The day arrived. 

  

The student warrior stood on one side, and fear stood on the other. The warrior was feeling very small, and fear was looking big and wrathful. They both had their weapons.

The young warrior roused herself and went toward fear, prostrated three times, and asked, "May I  have permission to go into battle with you?" 

  

Fear said, "Thank you for showing me so much respect that you ask permission." 

  

Then the young warrior said, "How can I defeat you?" 

  

Fear replied, "My weapons are that I talk fast, and I get very close to your face. Then you get completely unnerved, and you do whatever I say. 

  

"If you don't do what I tell you, I have no power.

"You can listen to me, and you can have respect for me. You can even be convinced by me. But if you don't do what I say, I have no power."

  

In that way, the student warrior learned how to defeat fear.

  

This is how it actually works. There has to be some kind of respect for the jitters, some understanding of how our... More
