Let's keep killing Yemeni children — effectively say the Biden administration and Congress

Evil government, through and through

 

From Dave DeCamp:

 

 

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) on Tuesday night withdrew his request to vote on the Yemen War Powers Resolution that would end US support for the Saudi-led war and blockade on Yemen, citing White House opposition to the bill.

 

Sanders said on the Senate floor that he was informed ahead of the scheduled vote of the administration’s opposition to the legislation, meaning President Biden would veto the resolution.

Regarding moral imperative

 

From Caitlin Johnstone:

 

 

If intervening to ensure the continued mass starvation of children and mass military slaughter of civilians is not evil, then nothing is evil.

 

It’s actually hard to think of anything more evil.

 

This could be called a tri-partisan crime, with both Democrats, Republicans, and independent Sanders each playing a role in making sure the war in Yemen keeps going.

 

It’s safe to say that in a nation which serves as the hub of an empire that’s held together with endless violence and the threat thereof, anyone who ascends to a certain level of power in any party is going to have to be a servant of mass military slaughter to some extent.

 

[T]hat’s why aggressions keep ramping up against Russia and China, and it just might end up being why the human species went the way of the dinosaur.

The moral? — Contemplate

 

US Government stands for the institutionalized slaughter and sanction-torture of innocents. In Yemen, Ukraine and pretty much wherever America goes.

 

All this, for no good strategic interest.

 

Instead, American Fat Cats propagandize their instigating support for the Military Industrial Complex's murdering machinations — so that they can keep themselves porky, happy and jingling their (nauseatingly more than Judas Iscariot's) 30 pieces of silver.

 

Money is, we can conclude from American Government and corporate fascists' constantly Satanic actions, the Supreme Good.

 

So, why do y'all Christians think that the motivation(s) for Judas Iscariot's betrayal of Christ were recorded in the Bible?

 

Answer — Complacently clueless sheep are easily herded toward creating unnecessary levels of hell on Earth.

 

Waking is the first step to soulfully necessary moral contemplation. That is (presumably) why parables exist.

 

Paying attention to them might be wise. Ergo, Caitlin Johnstone's reminders about more soundly taken ethical perspectives.
