Middle Earth

I am in awe.

We the people attack and bomb an launch against other people everyday and our excuse is as pathetic as it gets.

Because they are Muslims, they will kill us if we don’t kill them first.

That’s it.

That’s why.

We’ve been doing it for decades.

We make them fear our allmighty capability to rain death and destruction in their lands indiscriminately and then we impugn their culture and demonize their religion when they have the audacity to flee the mess we’ve made.  Our media works overtime to paint them as medieval savages when the volume of atrocity committed by our own Christianity against our own people makes all foreign terrorism look positively Fisher Price.

As of today, Americans have more to fear from a toddler with a gun than a foreign terrorist.

It’s insane.

Abortion clinics.

Movie theaters, malls, military bases and elementary schools.

Rampant, racially motivated violence by our own public servants against our own people.

Our protectors.

Dickheaded teabaggers burning down mosques and screeching that somehow, someway, Sharia law is some kind of existential threat.  They can’t be bothered to discern between Muslims and Sikhs for crying out loud.  Anyone in a turban must be plotting the the destruction of our once great country.

Oh my god ISIS.

It’s really starting to piss me the fuck off.

15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudis.  So we waged war in Iraq and screwed the whole thing up so clumsily and egregiously that that the entire region is exploding and a new world war is now somewhere between possible and likely.

I’m starting to think this can only end in fire.

Meanwhile, the most obtuse reaction possible is being championed by the republican front runner.  Millions of idiots are cheerleading bigotry.  The new normal is the excuse of nationalism for patriotism.

We just keep bombing the shit out of them but so far we haven’t committed cannon fodder to the sand again.  A minor but moral difference I guess.   The agenda of a military industrial complex in the throes of corrupting completely.

This is insane.

What makes us think that visiting death and destruction on these ordinary people between the rock and the hard place all day and all night is gonna keep them from blowing us up over here whenever they can?

It guarantees it.  It’s what their leaders want.  It’s what our leaders lust for.  Everyone but the people who will suffer the consequences just loves this shit.

Why is this so hard?

There are four or five million troops in the region that are more than capable of handling whatever the new iteration of terror is.

The redneck mouth breathers are jerking off to the fear porn in public.  Self justified and emboldened by a reckless media.  Septic with addiction to rage while they adore their own ignorance.  Confident and justified in arming themselves further and sporting their new hardware and camouflage at the local grocery store.

Hey it’s fucking awesome now we’re hanging out with Trump.

It’s disgusting.

We have to stop looking at this as a war between Christianity and Islam.  It’s a bullshit script.  It’s the most destructive path there is.  I can’t stand it.  It might be proof that we are idiots.  It has nothing to do with faith and everything to do with money.

We support Saudi Arabia with weapons, money and trade while they are world champion decapitators, ISIS and Iran don’t have shit on the Saudis when it comes to human rights abuses and vulgar misogyny.  But we never say a word about it.  The same with Israel.  Don’t get me started on Israel when it comes to human rights.

We suck too.

At the very least we are a nation of hypocrites, at worst we’re so confused we have no idea who the enemy is or why.

It’s insane.

Religion is a futility that convinces me we have not even come close to evolving.  But is not the fault of religion. Culpability belongs to the oligarchs and plutocrats who are so deliberate with religion that when they assail us with a fusillade of propaganda insidious enough, we are beside ourselves.

But it will still be our fault.

Drinks for my friends.

    Preach it brother!! I’ve been saying the same damn thing for years now. Doesn’t seem to make much of a dent. But then where are the million of Bernie supporters coming from – not from the scumbucket elite that’s for fucking sure! “They thought they would bury us. They didn’t know we were seeds!” Keep up the good fight! The only force on the planet more dangerous and destructive than the 1% (or 1/10 of 1%) is despair. As Bernie has said, despair is not an option – or as Jimmy Cliff sang the year I was born: “The harder they come, the harder they fall… I’d rather be a free man in my grave than a puppet or a slave.” Peace two fingers!

  • CH:

    Playing faith against faith has terrified me for a long time. Zealotry is dangerous, a path to destruction. It’s extra frustrating when both Christian and Muslim are rooted to the same God. Fucking dimwit jabbering monkeys are we. I fear the big fire. War is Gods sport, or else he ain’t there at all. Good rant Mike, sad ’cause true.

    • joseph logston:

      My opinion i have is that the Zionist capitalist segment of Jews are creatings and fanning the fires flames for these wars between the Christians & Muslims as too let us US tax do the funding and bloodlettings, as their elite Zionist, with elite corporate money are use to toole & bribe the GOP congress into being complete warmongers and having this unnecessary overspend military mights for the corporates military profit in takings our people’s tax dollars, This is what’s happening!! From Reagan, & the both Bush’s reigns of being puppeteered by the Zionist, and big oil takings influences of Saudi Arabia imperialist King over the Bush’s times of torrents in power over are People’s country, by deceptions and lies for profit Zionist wars we still are in by the bribed public lawmakers that got in by the Zionist paid medias!!! Go figure???

  • Cathy Rouse Page:

    Excellent. Which is also sad, because your words are truth.

  • Jeffrey Zaiser:

    I just couldn’t help thinking, reading this blistering commentary by MWD, how the war on terrorism is not unlike like the war on microbes. Big AG, for instance, is A-OK overprescribed live stock with antibiotics, rather than prescribing their industries make its unspeakable and inhumane practices, less unspeakable and more humane. Nope, it’s just not in the DNA of capitalism. Never mess with the bottom line. By using the last resort, first, they are setting the stage for bigger and stronger mutations that will no longer respond to any tools we can bring to bear. In our ever expanding, interconnected, global civilization, diseases born of filth and confinement will soon ravage livestock, so thoroughly and so unabatedly in response to our exhausted biologic remedy, that every last one will need to be slaughtered and burnt in mass offerings to the gods of greed and flesh eating, dwarfing that of even the Holocaust. So to, the “Blowback” from our self created enemy, will mutate beyond the capabilities of our weapons systems to contain, and so to, we will be left to consider weapons of mass extermination, to address the ultimate culmination of our unspeakable foreign policy and the practice of putting last resorts, first.

    I’M HALF AWAKE, MOSTLY A BRAIN DEAD AMERICAN…STARRING AT NOTHINGNESS,THROUGH MY MIDDLE EYE, THE THIRD EYE YA KNOW? I SEE STARK UGLY REALITY, BUT THEN I ALSO HAVE VISIONS. PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS BEEN A GREAT PRESIDENT. ISRAEL WANTED TO BOMB IRAN, HE WANTED BARACK’S AMERICA TO BACK HIM THE WAY RONALD REAGAN”S, OR MITTANS ROMNEY’S WOULD HAVE. REALLY IF WE LOOK BACK PRESIDENT CLINTON, ALSO DID A BANG UP JOB TRYING TO BROKER PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST. I DON’T NOR DO I THINK THE COUNTRY HAS MUCH USE FOR HILLARY, BUT WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT WHEOOW…THEY ARE DUMB AND DANGEROUS. WE AS A NATION MUST STAY BLUE, OR SHOULD I SAY LEANING LEFT. THE REPUBLICANS SHOULD BE ATTACKED FOR THEIR WAR MONGERING AND PROFITEERING. WE HAVE TO ATTACK, AND EXPOSE THEM THE WAY IT HAS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE. KEEP THEM IN YOUR SIGHTS, EXPOSE THEIR HYPOCRISY AND IGNORANCE FOR WHAT IT IS; IRAQ HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE 911 ATTACKS, NOTHING! THE SHARIA LAW IN AMERICA DUH REALLY, FUCKING REALLY?

    SERIOUSLY, A WELL RESPECTED IDIOT IN THE COMMUNITY WHERE I LIVE, DOES HAVE A BUMPER STICKER INDICATING THE SHARIA LAW THREAT! MICHAEL,YOU ALWAYS BLOW MY MIND, I DON’T KNOW WHO TO VOTE FOR BUT IT WON’T BE A PARANOID REPUBLICAN, WHO’S OUT FOR MORE WAR PROFITEERING. TRUMP ALREADY MADE STATEMENTS OF HIS INTENTIONS FOR WAR. I LIKE THE WAY YOU CALLED ROMNEY, MITTENS.

    MAIN STREAM MEDIA IS SCARY, I’M GLAD YOUR OUT THERE SHARING YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE IDIOTS.

  • Agree 1,000% my dear ~

    If there be No war & we ALL agreed ~ would there be No march to the battle drum ~ What Would It Be Like ~ gina

  • Jeffrey Casey:

    Your point would be more palatable before those awful Iranians detained and humilated members of the US navy. I mean, they actually detained them and then let them go! It’s a national humilation that we are regarded so weak by other countries thanks to Obama’s soft on terrorist policies, that a foreign nation would have the hubris to detain and release members of our military. Let this sink in…they were detained and released. The right leaning media are all over this story as they should be. These members of our military were detained and released. It’s a slippery slope when we allow another country to detain and release. This could lead to homosexual relations between our military and foreign militarys. What is next? Goats allowed to join the United States Navy?

    Drinks for my enemies.

  • Linda:

    Leave out RED NECK… it is a bad connotation, image of people who work out in the sun as laborers, as you sound like Trump, (who only thinks same). And then I am in agreement. Thanks for sharing. L

  • Dave:

    Bullshit! Islam has been murdering/raping/plundering for 1400 years now, with a conservative 270+ million dead. Islam is THE PROBLEM. Until we rid the earth of these 7th century Savages, no country will know peace!

  • Penny Lane:

    AMERICA profile: is diversified !
    TRUE has a COLOR..it starts w/a clear canvas. LIFE origin starts w/ backdrop… BLACK Velvet or WHITE canvas… represents ‘the visionary ARTIST’ . . . I purposely express my opinion on THIS discussion in a manner of ONE who sits on the fence, as, I SEE this LIBERTY ending soon…i can choose to be part of the SOLUTION – a do’er! OR continue to sit on my hands till my ass gets sore enough- I will MOVE or FALL flat on my face…either way!
    The CHOICE has ALWAYS been DECIDED that LIFE is continued by the do’er….either a Leader WHO has sold the AMERICAN Dream as HILARY CLINTON along with B.H. OBAMA has evidence proving this by “placed a FoRSALE sign on AMERICA”
    We need a Leader who Believes IN AMERICA and protects the USA CONSTITUTION … DONALD TRUMP 2016 believes YOU have the right to be part of the SOLUTION

  • David:

    Wow you dont like then get the fuck out..traitorous bastards..make america great again..lib sissy asses..gonna go cry and call me a racist now..lil..too bad im mixed

  • Wwinsti:

    The Branch Dividian book reading group down at the CIA is in it’s spastic death throws, as are their *funny hat wearing club* brethren at the Vatican. Setting one group violently against the other has always been their way. It is a practice that has become fiendishly more difficult these days, hence all the screaming.
