Drones and the hypocrisy of only caring about “our” own victims

Drones and the hypocrisy of only caring about “our” own victims

By Dark Politricks

First off I would like to hope that you all had a good Christmas and I hope you have enjoyed reading this blog as much as I have enjoyed writing for it.

I hope you continue to read it in the future and tell your friends about it whether you agree with all the articles or not – remember this is a free speech site so I display articles from all spheres of the alternative news.

They might be right or left wing in your eyes but they are all stories that are under reported in the main stream media. Therefore it is important to spread such news so that people indoctrinated by the MSM can find out alternative sources of information and hopefully widen their perspective.

However not everyone will have celebrated a happy Christmas. Not after the recent massacre in America, the terrible wars around the Middle East we are helping to stir up and the people dying at the hands of our military industrial complex all over the globe.

After the Sandy Hook School Massacre America the rest of the western world, and probably much of the world we are not busy bombing and killing children in, cried for the victims if they heard about it in the news.

20 innocent children dead and 6 adults. What is not to be sad about there.

Now I am not looking at the causes of the massacre, the psychotic drugs, the availability of guns, the debate about  gun control or anything to do with the ease that someone can walk into a school and kill so many people – so quickly.

What I want to do is compare is the way we mourn and send out condolences and our best wishes to the victims of families in our own country to how we treat the child victims of our never ending war of terror i.e the US drone strikes that happen across the world on an almost daily basis.

From Pakistan to Yemen, from Somalia to Afghanistan the USA is killing 49 innocent people for every 1 “bad guy” with the use of their drones.

Because of the lack of mainstream media coverage, and the constant propaganda that these drone strikes are “surgical” and any civilian deaths are justified “collateral damage”, we don’t get to see the same close up personal tragedy and family stories of the victims as we do when it’s our own children being shot dead.

We don’t see the dead bodies involved in the drone strikes, the families grieving, the tears and all the outrage that must be felt by the victims families who had done nothing wrong except be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I spoke about the indoctrination we are all being fed the other day.

In my eyes there is no worse form of indoctrination than that which conditions the new generation of soldiers – the Predator drone fliers. Brought up on a diet of PlayStation games that make them see shooting dozens of people dead as “fun” and “playful”.  readmorehere
