Tubularsock can not agree more with this! When Shelby goes after something you’d better duck. She has covered it ALL and extremely well
as usual. What a powerful truth she spins. Wake the fuck up BEFORE YOU’RE lamb chops, sheepels!
War is always such a blessing
It never is distressing or depressing.
I know all too well that this is true.
War has been good for me and you.
You proudly give your lives up for the rich.
For us, life never is a bitch.
In a blaze of glory, you go out.
And really, that’s what it’s all about.
The drone operators are so brave
as they send little children to their grave.
Since the world has become a battleground,
the drums of war make a lovely throbbing sound.
Teach your sons and your daughters about their duty.
And one day, when they are dead, we’ll make a movie.
It will honor their brave and noble deeds.
The wounded, we shall see to all their needs.
Through war, we bring peace unto this earth.
And though you break out in dubious peals of mirth,
the last laugh will always…

GAGA AND BEYOND!
Tubularsock has found that most everything has a basic simple explanation. And then layers are placed upon the simple to attempt either to confuse one from understanding what is going on or to attempt to explain the simple in a complex way so as to create the illusion that those who are attempting to carry out the simple idea look like they know what they are doing.
Either way Tubularsock calls it BULLSHIT STACKING. And it is a major policy practice of the American political establishment.
Don’t think so ……. then you are just stupid! Now how simple is that?
Well if you have been following the Regimented-Free-Press (RFP) you’ll know that Lady Gaga just got engaged on Valentines Day. And yes she got a custom designed heart shaped diamond engagement ring. Is there any other kind? How simple.
AND to top that off YOU TOO can dress like Lady Gaga as shown by this ad following the article about her engagement.
How simple.
Tubularsock believes that there is a difference between general WHITE garments for less and Lady Gaga’s custom made gown. What do think? Tubularsock is not going to rush out and buy one. How simple.
The RFP also made room for a little coverage of the old boring news as well. Not as exciting as heart shaped diamonds and endearing love but just some other stuff the RFP feels they can fill their new cycles with because after all one thing they constantly do well is report without questioning.
Well this in one of those news reports.
If you compared the pressing questions directed to Lady Gaga from the press to the half asleep nodding heads of the Washington Press Corp when Step’n-fetch-it Obomber’s lackey’s and running dogs announced :
you would have seen their lack of concern and knowledge that the RFP regularly displays.
Well there is a story here and Tubularsock is going to point out ONLY one simple fact for you to consider. But Tubularsock does have to remind you on how the game works.
Now you may remember when the United States under the Carter and Reagan Administrations decided to arm the mujahideen so they could fight the Soviets in Afghanistan. And of course we sent in American “trainers” to assist in teaching the mujahideen. But that was not all. The U.S. in addition to overt and covert funding operations by various U.S. governmental agencies there were a large variety of private “aid” agencies and think tanks that formed policies and not only profited from those policies but were also up to their chinny-chin-chins in the drugs-for-guns Iran-Contra networks of that then Vice President George-the-prick-Bush and his loyal sidekick Oliver-dumb-fuck-North had undertaken.
This falls under what is known as PROXY WARS. A war where a country has “others” stand in and fight an enemy rather than doing the fighting directly. Like in this case where the U.S. and the Soviet Union can’t fight a war directly because it could escalate into World War III.
So both powers create and fund “others” to alter the area where each wish to control and exploit.
Now the United States is by far the greatest Proxy War creator than any other nation in the world. We have more military bases in the world, we sell more war equipment than any other nation in the world and we overthrow more established governments than any other country in the world.
AND WE ACT LIKE WE WANT PEACE?
That’s what we do. And we do this to control natural resources such as oil but there is far more at stake than just oil. Natural gas, Tungsten, and the list continues. WE WANT them for us so to keep the Chinese from sucking them up before we do.
The Chinese are active in Africa so the United States destabilizes the area so as to make it unstable for nations to control the extraction of these resources. THAT is what Boko Haram in Nigeria is all about and the CIA helped to create this situation to divide and conquer Africa.
That is what al Qaeda is all about. The CIA under Carter and Reagan created al Qaeda and supported Osama bin Laden.
The U.S. also funded and supported Saddam Hussein. We provided him with the WMD’s that we later used as the excuse to overthrow him.
When it comes to RIGHT WING brutal dictators in Latin America the U.S. helped to create, fund and trained ALL OF THEM!
The amount of MASS MURDER that the U.S. has created in the world and supported through these “PROXIES” is overwhelming.
And we have continued this type of Foreign Policy to the point that today the BLOW-BACK is hitting the fan.
Now, explain to Tubularsock why Obomer believes that “our” allies today are going to be our allies tomorrow or for that matter next week!
“U.S. officials suggested the drone sales could become a new tool for expanding American influence overseas.” (LA Times)
So now rather than just killing people by drone-murder we are going to sell drones to who? It is the same pattern again?
Oh yeah, “strong and capable international partners”! Oh, Right.
So we just have to sell them to Jordan. We just have to do it. They NEED THEM to “defeat” ISIS! Sure they do. The U.S. has been droning ISIS for almost two years now …… are they defeated? Will Jordan be better at it?
And what happen if ISIS captures the drones? Then what?
And where did ISIS come from ………..? Who helped to train many of them? Arm them?
We are going to now help Jordan drone them? We must, we must!
Even Congress sees the need, “Given our mutual interests, and our strong relationship, it’s absolutely critical that we provide Jordan the support needed to defeat the Islamic State,” Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., wrote to President Obama in a Feb. 5 letter.
Did Tubularsock mention that much of drone manufacturing is centered in Southern California.
So Northrop Grumman Corp., Lockheed Martin Corp., and General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc. just happen to build drones which when Rep. Duncan Hunter, says “Given our mutual interests . . .” we at least know who he’s talking about!
Israel, Russia and China, manufacture military drones and have fewer compunctions about selling them. But by the U.S, getting into the market we can have more influence over how countries actually use their drones. Like murdering people from the sky is any different with an Israeli drone or an American one.
Now don’t be scared, U.S. made drone technology will ONLY be sold to “allies” that agree to “end-use monitoring and potential additional security conditions.” Feel better?
The restrictions would limit potential misuse of drones, such as attacks against a country’s own civilian population.
Hey, remember how well that worked with Saddam Hussein when Reagan sold him the gas that was used on the Kurds? Sure, “limit potential misuse”!
AND THIS IS THE POINT!
We have created these enemies over the years to promote “American Interests” meaning “PROFITS FOR THE FEW” and now we will provide military ready drones to “allies” (like Saddam Hussein) and then wonder WHAT WENT WRONG?
Now for years Tubularsock has watched this happen and couldn’t figure out why our questionable leaders continued to race down the same path and get the same result. And they appeared not to notice.
THEN CAME ENLIGHTENMENT!
Tubularsock was coming from thinking “WE” wanted world peace and democracy and dignity of man/woman.
Yeah, Tubularsock knows ……… how foolish.
NO, THE PLAN is exactly what they are doing. The proof’s in the pudding!
Continued war IS the goal. Create an enemy, train them, support them, and turn them onto those we want to control. And then destroy our creations when they become no longer useful.
That’s the game.
And the beautiful thing about it is that all those mothers and fathers out there that don’t have their sons and daughters because they died in the game, hold onto the fantasy that their dead offspring gave their lives to protect America. They are just poor DUMB FUCKS! Their don’t get the game.
And then they give them a folded American flag and some metal trinkets and tell them what heroes their dead children were and they FUCKING BUY IT out of grief! Shame on them and their poor sad souls. You have been had.
It’s a game …….. wake up!
And for you military brain-died who march off thinking you are going to do something noble, you too have been had.
And that is why you fucks are killing yourselves like flies on your return because you finally figured it out. The U.S. doesn’t give a fuck about you.
And how does Tubularsock know? Fucking take a look. THEY ALWAYS can make a profit on military equipment and Congress dumps money into military procurement.
But wake up dumb fucks ……. Congress just can’t seem to find the money to cover you veterans.
WHY? You are not profitable. You are spent. You are used equipment. You have been spent and had. You would have been left like old military equipment on the battlefield if the American government could figure out how to get away with it.
You now are a cost ……… fuck you!
So the bottom line is that the United States creates its enemies and then spends trillions of dollars to destroy the enemy that has been created thereby creating more enemies and the cycle continues.
The U.S. doesn’t want it to stop! THERE IS NO PROFIT IN PEACE.
These poignant words by Shelby say it well and it can’t be said often enough. We as a country should not be doing THIS. How clear does it have to be made?
He may not be from your body,
nor is he from mine.
But I cry as though he was
because his light has ceased to shine!

‘In their eyes, we don’t deserve to live like people in the rest of the world,’ said the victim ahead of his ultimate death, ‘and we don’t have feelings or emotions or cry or feel pain like all the other humans around the world.’
Read it AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN! Read what he had to say and then call him a conspiracy theorist because what did he know? He knew enough to be afraid, very afraid because what he feared would happen, did. He lived in constant fear that he too, would be killed by a drone just…

Tubularsock was sitting in his top floor corner office in his underground bunker overlooking Washington, D.C. from Oakland, CA and pondering.
How is it that the United States can keep all the wars going on for years and years and just not run out of enemies. How can we be so good at this and can’t seem to fix our own streets, roads and bridges?
Is THIS what American Exceptionalism is all about? Being able to PREACH caring and peace by running undisciplined about the world kicking and screaming in reality about getting OUR own way? Disregarding ALL peoples in our way so we can get OURS even when what we want doesn’t belong to us.
So let Tubularsock define some terms to get things a bit more clear.
Now Tubularsock knows many of you know this already but as time passes we all forget some things because it just has become the way the United States does things.
The debate about how the U.S. does things is pushed aside by the continued doing of it to the point that it is soon forgotten by so many that there may be a different way to do it.
And sure the list could go on but Tubularsock figures you got his point with the first example which only goes to show you that redundancy is so redundant.
And because you “got-it” from the first example Tubularsock is going to use the last example as his template for all examples. Now how easy is that?
About a little over two weeks ago the BBC News reported that, “A US drone strike in Yemen . . . killed three suspected al Qaeda members suggesting that US policy in the region is continuing as normal”.
Now “. . . continuing as normal” means that the U.S. has been killing people by drones in Yemen since 2002 or for the past thirteen years. And up to this point the U.S. had a Yemenis puppet leader who went along with the U.S. killing but recently that leader was overthrown and the current Yemen government is a Shia-led rebel grouping known as the Houthis.
But the U.S. doesn’t care who is the leader of an independent country, we’ll drone them if we want because it’s “normal”! Makes Tubularsock wonder why somebody has taken all that time to draw all those border lines on all those maps if they really have no meaning. Oh, Tubularsock forgot …… the U.S. border lines are sacred, of course.
And when those supposed Arabs took out the Twin Towers the CROSSING of those U.S. border lines were duly noted, if you recall. It was even considered an attack!
But Tubularsock again is in a middle of a digression. So back to the main point.
Now “ . . . killed three suspected al Qaeda members . . . ” means …… well what it means in this case is not true.
You see “suspected” is a funny way to die. The drone operator doesn’t know if the occupants of the car they blew to hell really has REAL al Qaeda members inside.
So they are “suspected” which means that AFTER they are dead, well people on the ground report if they were al Qaeda or just another wedding party.
In fact, the Obama administration considers “all military-age males in a strike zone as combatants,” several administration officials told the New York Times in June 2012, “unless there is explicit intelligence posthumously proving them innocent.” And if they weren’t a “combatant” they are just dead with the distinction of being counted differently. You know how important accuracy is to the United States!
Well in this case two of the PEOPLE in the car were al Qaeda but the third PERSON was a thirteen year old boy ………. So who was he?
Mohammed Saleh Duaayman was 13 years old and in the sixth grade.
(another digression: you do realize that EVEN if Mohammed had skipped death and got to the United States he still would have NOT been able to go to school with the Obama kids. They go to a private school for important people!)
According to his eldest sister, Mohammed was traveling from their home in Al-Zoor village to visit his father’s second wife at the time of the Jan. 26 drone strike.
Mohammed was traveling with two men who were members of AQAP (al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula), a source within the group previously told the Yemen Times. The sister said she is unaware whether the two men were AQAP members or not, but reaffirmed that her brother was innocent and was not a member of the organization.
Funny thing, Mohammed’s father and one of his brothers who was 17 at the time were blown apart by a drone back in 2011 while they were searching for a camel. It seems that his father and two of his brothers were sleeping when the drone spotted them. The drone was controlled by a CIA controller who had never been tired following a missing camel. And you know how difficult it is to ask questions about a situation from 20,000 feet so he blew them up. Hey, you can’t be too careful driving a drone.
But the 14 year old brother hid in the rocks and was not killed but his brother and father were killed. He came home a day and a half later with the story. He had stayed in the rocks for a full day before he made his move.
Mohammed was 9 years at the time. Mohammed came from a large family. His father had four wives and 26 children—12 boys and 14 girls. And these are just a few of his brothers and sisters.
His father supported his family by buying and selling used cars and herding sheep and camels. He also received about $500 a month from the government. He had fought against the Russians in Afghanistan and on his return the Yemenis security officials provided these funds to him so he would not join the al Qaeda forces within Yemen.
After his death the Yemenis security officials stopped the government payment and the local AQAP (al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula) started to help out the family and has done so for the last three years.
So what does that tell us? Well 10 boys left to join the AQAP. That’s what!
So two drone strikes kills a father and two sons and sets up an additional 10 fighters for al Qaeda. That’s the math which then explains why we have a continued supply of enemies. AND THIS IS JUST ONE FAMILY!
Data collected by the human rights group Reprieve and presented last November maintains that attempts to kill 41 targeted individuals across Pakistan and Yemen in recent years resulted in the deaths of some 1,147 people, the vast majority civilians and families. At that rate the U.S. has created a fucking shit-load of enemies and Obomber still says, “It is not neat and it is not simple, but it is the best option that we have”.
IS IT, REALLY?
