Our right to know: Tricks and tricksters 

Most of today's generation is not familiar with the Nuremberg process of taking heads of Germany, responsible for WWII and the cruelty against Jews, as well as the 30 millions of victims of Nazism to international court. Today it seams to be that no one is responsible to anyone, for anything, for any form of harm to humanity and related ills of our world. We shed tears when one of our soldiers is killed by a crazed drug addict, and we call it terrorism.

Recently we became more aware of something we call  PTSD, in view of seven suicides of our Afghan veterans in one year. Yet we do not pay any attention to those who live in conflict areas, in the horrors of wars in the Middle East since WWII - and their PTSD.

 

Then, we are surprised to see the actions of ISIS exploiting the inflicted PTSD to invite and expand the ranks of a rebellion in their cruelty. They (ISIS) perverted even the 19th century ill of society in Russia, the Nihilism; that is why president Putin was able to warn the West about the vacuum being generated in the Middle East. Of course it was too late to take him seriously, we have already marked him as an enemy, and send our and U.S. Navy to his doorsteps. 

In the history of warfare we (the human race) like to present someone as a scapegoat to the public, as it was with the Jews for Nazism, or at present the Russians; and to support our claim we 'patsy' the president of Ukraine to document the presence of Russian soldiers (to patsy us) by unsubstantiated passports, military decorations - medals, even by parts of parade uniforms!? I question: do we give our soldiers passports and all, wherever they are stationed around the world in many countries?

 

We have put our, and our children's lives into the hands of the Tricks & Tricksters, and at the end we will even reward them with a hefty pension?  How nice we are.
