Amazing speech by war veteran

[micjer]

Our real enemy is not the ones living in a distant land whose names or policies we don't understand; The real enemy is a system that wages war when it's profitable, the CEOs who lay us off our jobs when it's profitable, the Insurance Companies who deny us Health care when it's profitable, the Banks who take away our homes when it's profitable. Our enemies are not several hundred thousands away. They are right here in front of us
- Mike Prysner


The chain reaction of
evil... wars producing
more wars... must be
broken, or we shall be
plunged into the dark
abyss of annihilation
- Martin Luther King, Jr.

If tyranny and oppression
come to this land, it will be
in the guise of fighting a
foreign enemy... The loss of
Liberty at home is to be
charged to the provisions
against danger, real or
imagined, from abroad..."

- James Madison


Very emotional speech. This sums up who the real enemy is.

And that is the problem that most people that hear his speech are already in the choir. Although I believe the choir is getting bigger. May have to add a few more pews.

and, purr_haps convert some poos !!!

There is still lots of time
for them, to eXchange themselves
from something evil, into something worthwhile !!!

Those inner circles, are going to thin out - or, turn on them !!!

You are right in that prediction - micjer ~ make more room for the choir

Time for some e_g_ills to sing !!!

It's growing. This is a great news network - if some actual real news could get out ...

Israel's recent wave of repression led to arrest of Jamal Juma', coordinator of Stop the Wall Campaign.

It would help. If some actual photos of CIA torture etc (< let's just say broomsticks are not for sweeping) could get out, it would help. If the video of a what really goes on with waterboarding could get out, it would help. If news guys would be boots on the ground like Steve_A talked about, instead of Inbox to press, it would help.

This was posted on the forum somewhere:

It also good to have a fair amount of poverty in the country, which helps enlistment and those objectives. The ptw know it and like the numbers - always good to have a certain percentage of unemployment and poverty - to help feed the war machine.

There's a non-violent resistance group in Iran with a bit of traction now, too.

I post a lot of this genre on my facebook page. In fact, that is the main reason for me utilising FB anyway. I don't get too much in the line of fond reaction but I know that each time anything is put out there, it is another seed planted, a new "non-choir" member will get to see something they would normally not search for on the web because they will be curious to see what "this nut-case" is posting this time!
I did notice I recieved a response to this posting and it was from the least expected person !!! Just goes to show, all we have to be s available to put things out there, things based on truth and love, and they will find a new home.
