Epitome of US-sponsored evil — killing Yemeni kids for profit

Two days ago, the bloated pomposity . . .

 

. . . who heads our US Department of State, said this:

 

 

The Department of State will notify Congress of my intent to designate Ansarallah – sometimes referred to as the Houthis – as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) . . . .

 

These designations will provide additional tools to confront terrorist activity and terrorism by Ansarallah, a deadly Iran-backed militia group in the Gulf region.

 

The designations are intended to hold Ansarallah accountable for its terrorist acts, including cross-border attacks threatening civilian populations, infrastructure, and commercial shipping.

United States is declaring an entire people as terrorists

 

How this differs from historical Hitler's de facto designation of Jews and Slavs as "Untermensch" beats me.

 

Especially so, given the United States' reprehensible record:

 

 

of enforcing economic sanctions

 

and

 

providing the financial and physical means

 

by which

 

the other arguably most despicable leadership on the planet

 

the Saudis

 

continue to exterminate Yemeni children.

 

 

Humanist Caitlin Johnstone . . .

 

. . . points out that:

 

 

[I]n reality the starvation deaths we are seeing in Yemen (a huge percentage of which are children under the age of five) . . . . are the result of the Saudi coalition’s use of blockades and its deliberate targeting of farms, fishing boats, marketplaces, food storage sites, and cholera treatment centers with airstrikes aimed at making the Houthi-controlled parts of Yemen so weak and miserable that they break.

This to benefit America's all-consuming Military Industrial Complex and the profits that it reaps.

 

 

Meanwhile, back in the Homeland

 

The incoming Biden Administration is headlines-hysterical that some random "white" guy sat in Nancy "Rich Bitch" Pelosi's chair.

 

 

The moral? — US priorities appall anyone with a grain of moral sense

 

Here we are, efficiently killing faraway "brown" kids as a matter of national policy.

 

This "strategy" — and the Party of Fake Opposition's essentially non-response to it — epitomize our Plutocratic Establishment's (always voluminous) contribution to Figurative Satan's romp on earth.
