I don't understand how this is not considered murder.

[RickyJ]

That is indeed reality. A reality most will not accept.

[James Madison]

I don't understand how this is not considered murder.

Because it was carried out by living, breathing Gods aka the government.

[RickyJ]

I don't understand how this is not considered murder.

It is murder. Every "enemy" killed in the Iraq war and Afghanistan war were also murdered by our "heroes" the troops. Bin Laden and the 19 Arabs had nothing to do with 9/11. It was a false flag event designed precisely to get Americans mad at them evil Muslims and to attack Iraq and Afghanistan.

It is murder. That's what it should have been called from the start.

Great segment from Swann.

[J_White]

how is this different from what so called evil dictators do ?

[paulbot24]

Some people have a "bucket list." The POTUS has a "kill list." Where are we?

The USA has bigger guns, that is why it is different. Might makes right in this evil world.

Amen.

Reality check 4 years from now if we don't turn this around?

Does the president have the authority to order drone strikes against Americans living inside the U.S.?

Reality check 8 years from now if we don't turn this around?

Was Ben Swann really disappeared by the government, or is he just on extended vacation?

This.

[Xhin]

The President is using drones to kill American citizens and their families without trial and outside of battlefield. This same president authorized the use of 20,000 drones over American soil and approved a bill that would hold american citizens indefinitely without trial. Do the math.

[ShaneEnochs]

And when they came for me...

[whippoorwill]

Shits moving pretty fast now. We need to keep hammering away at taking the Republicain party back and thus government.

[Xhin]

Agreed, whippoorwill.

They were more secretive about it.


Even the Nazis took enormous pains to hide the true nature of their murder programs from the public (http://chris-floyd.com/component/content/article/1-latest-news/2247-hymns-to-the-violence-the-nyts-love-letter-to-obamas-murder-racket.html). And one can scarcely conceive of Stalin inviting reporters from Pravda into the Politburo meetings where he and Molotov and Beria debated the lists of counterrevolutionary "terrorists" given to them by the KGB and ticked off those who would live and those who would die. Of course, those lists too were based on "intelligence reports," often gathered through "strenuous interrogation techniques" or the reports of informers. No doubt these reports were every bit as credible as the PowerPoint presentations reviewed each week by Obama and his team.

And no doubt Stalin and his team were just as sincerely concerned about "national security" as the Aquinas acolyte in the White House today -- and just as determined to do "whatever it takes" to preserve that security. As Stalin liked to say of the innocent people caught up in his national security efforts: "When wood is chopped, chips fly."

Of course, he was an evil man without any sense of moral responsibility at all. In our much more enlightened times, under the guidance of a Nobel Peace Prize Laureate in the White House, we are so much wiser, so much better. We say: "A certain amount of screw-ups are going to happen." Isn't that much more nuanced? Isn't that much more moral?

There is more, much more of this nullity -- and rotting hypocrisy and vapid sycophancy -- in the story. But I don't have the strength or the stomach to wade any further through this swamp. It stinks of death. It taints and stains us all.
