The thing that bothers Tubularsock about WAR is having so many. In our 246 years of being a nation we have been in 225 wars! And that’s not counting the long history of rigging polls, supporting military coups, channeling funds and spreading political propaganda in other countries.

The United States has been involved in a number of foreign interventions throughout its history that are not called wars yet many people get killed.

And what is way worse in Tubularsock’s opinion is the political leaders in the United States of America lecturing the World about how WRONG other nations are for having wars and then Moralizing about the subject. The old “pot calling the kettle black” syndrome.

And now here we are once again. If you haven’t looked into this current conflict you would not be aware that the U.S. has been up to it’s “chinny-chin-chin” in setting up this current conflict between Russia and Ukraine. WE HELPED CAUSE IT!

Yet to listen to our propaganda news outlets WE ARE ALL SHOCKED WITH DESPAIR that RUSSIA AND ABOVE ALL PUTIN are so evil.

For Tubularsock it is rather funny to listen to the shit coming out of their mouths except Tubularsock had to get out Tubularsock’s hip-boots to protect Tubularsock’s shoes.

But then this headline hit the news and enough is enough ……

And just like shit hitting the fan …….. Tubularsock just had to directly respond:

And the beat goes on ………………

Just what is it about this constant “forever war” syndrome that we find ourselves in as a country?

Are YOU really that afraid of OTHER?

And just what is it that we don’t understand about people in another country risking their lives to protect their country from aggression?

Wouldn’t YOU protect our country from aggression from a foreign country if they were attacking us?

So just who is this fabled AGGRESSOR?

Well, that’s simple ………… THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. None other!

Now recently we have gone through two Presidential election cycles where the WAR ISSUE was a major factor. And in both cases the winners were Obummer and Orange Tweet both of whom indicated that they wanted to alter the country’s direction away from “foreign wars”.

Oh sure, the American public bought it …….. they always do.

Historically you’ll find that the American public has ALWAYS been against going to war. In fact, in most cases you’ll find that it is true of most populations world wide.

So why is there so much war?


In the first three months of 2017 U.S.-led bombing reached 10,918 bombs and missiles dropped on Syria alone. A country that never, ever posed a threat to the United States.

After 16 years we are still fighting in Afghanistan. A country that never, ever posed a threat to the United States.

We have totally destroyed Iraq but are still fighting there. Another country that never, ever posed a threat to the United States.

Have you noticed a trend here?

Let’s, for the fun of it, jump back to Vietnam for a second. The number of people we killed in Vietnam and the numbers of American that were stupid enough to go to “protect American interests” and die in a complete an utter failure is just shameful.
The arch enemy that was Vietnam “won” that war and remained “communist” and THEN in 2016:  “HANOI — The Obama administration announced Monday that the United States would fully lift a longstanding U.S. embargo on lethal arms sales to Vietnam . . .” (Washington Post 5/23/16)

So all it took was an arms deal to be friends? Think on this. All those people dead and now we are selling arms to Vietnam that will kill more people?

OMG ——The Russians! We have to protect ourselves from those aggressive Russians so we threaten them with economic sanctions, nuclear first strike, we place missiles in Europe pointed at them, we build up American military forces at their boarders AND WE CALL THEM AGGRESSIVE?

Yet, the U.S. makes exceptions to sanctions against Russia by lifting bans on Russia’s sales to us of Russia’s RD-180 rocket engines. “It is worth mentioning that Russia’s RD-180 rocket engines, possessing unparalleled performance US firms have yet to match, will be used to launch payloads into Earth orbit for the US Department of Defense.” (Activist Post 1/7/16)

And, “The U.S. Treasury Department on Thursday eased economic sanctions on Russia, allowing some cyber-security transactions with the Russian Federal Security Service . . .” (USATODAY Feb. 2, 2017)

So the U.S. can agree to trade contracts and cooperation with Russia, BUT WE CAN’T AGREE ON PEACE WITH EACH OTHER?

And what do we agree with the Russians on?

Rockets??? So, where is all this “fear” we are supposed to believe in that Russia is so dangerous?

Cyber-security transactions??? After all that fear of Russians hacking the last election?

 

 

And just check out American oil interests in partnership with Russian firms!

But hell, that’s not all!

Look into JUST the Trump Family contractual agreements with CHINA alone. It will make even your eyes become slanted!

Finally, Tubularsock will save your reading time and just bottom line this for you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tubularsock heading slant

It is obvious that Tubularsock covers topics from A to Z so sure he can focus on BEES”?

Tubularsock can spot a honey of a story from afar and realizes that there are the hives and the hives-not.

In this case it appears that the General-Bees and the Drone-Bees are on the same Plan Bee!   

And both being Killer-Bees, Tubularsock deducted that if their plan was accomplished the world may not bee much different.

Hence, Tubularsock took his trusty little camera and went to document this pending event because without documentation citizens only believe what they are beeing told by the messed-media-government-stream (MMGS).

BUT …….. if the citizen is shown documentation ad nauseum  then the citizen will believe exactly what the government wants them to believe anyway because FACTS just complicate thinking! (As 9/11 demonstrates so clearly.)

You see, the Killer Bees have teamed up against the Washington power grid to help stop Washington from taking over the world.

Yes! Tubularsock has pictures. Why else would Tubularsock carry a camera EVERYWHERE?

Tube Plan Bee

And yes PLAN BEE will have collateral-damage but collateral-damage is only people and if the people really cared so much for their families they wouldn’t have put them in harm’s way! 

But look, the Bees care.

The Bees believe in a just cause and in truth the Bees are willing to kill you and your family in order to bring you peace.

The Bees are willing to destroy your town in order to save it!

And as long as the Bees get the honey ……. well, fuck you!

And the real stinger in all of this is ……. “Even Bee Power corrupts and absolute Bee Power corrupts absolutely”.

HEY! BEELIEVE TUBULARSOCK!

You see bees will attack other bees and take over their hive and of course Killer-Bees are very aggressive. They are the Dick Cheney Bees of Beedom.

But bees don’t turn on their own hive like we do.

You see, to our power structure there is little difference from using Killer Bee’s force on Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Nigeria and using Killer Bee’s force on Ferguson, Flint, and Detroit. And as time moves on we’ll see where that is leading ……. and it sure isn’t for the betterment of our society! So Bee careful out there and always remember …….. the louder the buzz the higher the bull shit.

There is nothing like a well thought out plan when you are dealing with people of the world that don’t tend to have an appreciation of the nuance of the United States’ process of bombing the fuck out of their respective countries and removing their leaders and establishing LAW & ORDER American Style.

Most likely these people just don’t speak English!

And the conclusion from the American political front and the American freeless press hence therefore the American brain-dead public —- IT’S THE RUSSIANS!

Now there is a kind-of-a-rule for people with sense that if you climb over an 8′ chain-link fence and go over and kick the pitbull that there will be ensuring problems.

No really, it doesn’t take a Philadelphia-lawyer to figure this out!

And yet, somehow escalation is “blowing in the wind”!


 Escalation tube

Oh, do you speak English?

Tube Ukraine nazi Heading

Lets look at Syria. But don’t Russia too fast you might trip.

Now Tubularsock wants to get to the bottom line quickly so you can unload all that anti-Russian neocon bull shit that is oozing out of the New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal and all of the rest of the fucked up stenographer-maimed-streamed-press.

From what is being pushed the CIA’s payroll to the “reporters-of-record” must be staggering!

Oh. And the fucking Congress too. What we have there is the classic Abbott and Castello antics of the dumb leading the stupid. The only difference is that Abbott and Castello made sense!

ISIS (aka … Al Qaeda in Iraq … AQI) is a terrorist organization that is crazier than bat shit and gives Muhammad a bad name! They are by far the largest group and the most effective fighters on the terrorists side of the coin.

Al Nusra is an Al Qaeda “affiliated” group that is the terrorist arm of the “Free Syrian Army”. Along with  Ahrar al-Sham and several small groups of fighters aligning with the “Free Syrian Army”. They are the “moderate-terrorists” supported by the CIA directly on the other side of the terrorist coin.

An interesting side note: The Free Syrian Army really doesn’t seem to exist. It has become “. . . a mosaic of fractions and is now largely ineffectual” according Irish journalist Patrick Cockburn.

And not only doesn’t “The Free Syrian Army” exist but the UN Security Council in a May 2012 decision “blacklisted Syria’s al-Nusra Front as an alias of al-Qaeda in Iraq”, namely the ISIL. So the two sides of the terrorist coin is only one side … TERRORISTS!

There is no such thing as a “moderate-terrorist”, PERIOD!

But the Russians are being criticized now for targeting this very group!

Tube:Vlad phone

The issue is that Russia is fighting terrorism ……… a good thing, yes?

But the United States are backing, training, funding, and supplying terrorists …. a bad thing, yes?

And the United States is also supporting ISIL (ISIS) by the fact that it was the United States’ CIA that created them and still supply them indirectly. Which is a bad thing, yes?

Now how is it that Russia is the bad guy?

Shall we continue pealing this onion? Any tears yet?

Why is it that the United States is aiding and abetting terrorists? Don’t we have laws on the books against doing that?

Well yes we do and in a sane world Obummer and his merry-men would all turn themselves into the nearest police station for breaking terrorist laws.

Tubularsock knows it isn’t a sane world so this won’t happen but it was just a fun side thought.

The United States is actually the greatest terrorist threat in the world today. We have supported terrorism for years. We even have a school where we teach terrorism.

It was called the U.S. Army School of the Americas but now it is called:

WESTERN HEMISPHERE INSTITUTE FOR SECURITY COOPERATION.

Or you can just call it for what it promotes:

THE TOTURE SCHOOL

THE SCHOOL OF ASSASSINS

THE SCHOOL OF COUPS

The United States also supports Saudi Arabia and supplies them with military supplies in great number which have been then passed on the ISIS. (Gosh, how’d that happen?)

Tubularsock is sure you remember that Saudi Arabia also provided money and support to the “al Qaeda” terrorists that attacked us on 9/11. (Gosh, they’re a trusted ally. How’d that happen?)

And it was the U.S. CIA that funded and trained al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden himself. (Oh golly gee …… How did that happen?)

Bin-CIA

Coincidence?

Yes, coincidence. Stuff like this just happens all the time. And it works a lot better if it is PLANNED-COINCIDENCE!

You see 9/11 wasn’t carried out by Russia because Russia is our “enemy”. See THAT would be too obvious …. get it?

No, 9/11 was carried out by Saudi Arabia an ally, see how it works now?

PART 2

And Saudi Arabia had assistance and they were “allies” as well. Heart warming isn’t it.

EVERY THING YOU THINK IS WRONG!

Oh that onion is still rather large ……. peel more?

Syria has been on the “overthrow” list of the United States for decades but even with that on the agenda the CIA used Syria between 2001-2003 to locate one of their torture prisons where those “suspects” were brought under “extraordinary rendition” to be ahhh, “interrogated”. Oh Tubularsock forgot, those were ENHANCED interrogations, got to have the correct protocol.

WATERBOARDING

No the Russians, who are no sweethearts themselves were NOT involved.

Just good old Syrians and Americans conducting the TORTURE. And Syrian officials supplied U.S. officials with all information extracted from “detainees”.

According to a 2013 report by the Open Society Foundation, Syria was one of the “most common destinations for rendered suspects” under the program.

Do you find it kind of odd that the U.S. could get along with Syria when they were helping us torture but we can’t get along with them now?

It was said by former CIA agent Robert Baer in his description of the policy to the New Statesman: “If you want them to be tortured, you send them to Syria. If you want someone to disappear – never to see them again – you send them to Egypt”.(2011)

And Egypt is our ally too!

Now how is it that Russia is the bad guy?

Wow, that onion sure isn’t going down very fast. Peel, peel …….

Now Tubularsock knows you have a life so Tubularsock might just have to eat the onion with a beer to wash it down to stop this wrenched story of America the beautiful.

But just not yet ………..

Obummer stood in front of the United Nations and gave one of his most delusional speeches he has given to date. No really, the chamber of diplomats were dumbfounded!

EVERYTHING in that speech was projection. As he condemned others and their “wrong doings” he was describing exactly what the United States has been doing to the rest of the world! Really. Truly delusional.

Oh god! Tubularsock is not even going to get into the disingenuous shit that oozed from his lips you can provide your own barf bag and listen to it yourself. Tubularsock will only point out just ONE historical fact to you and that will suffice.

Assad DID NOT gas his own people …….. NEVER HAPPENED!

The rocket that did gas people was a rocket that came from the “moderate terrorists” that WE supported with some indication that Turkey was involved. And Turkey is OUR ally!

Assad DID NOT DO IT ……….. WE DID!

This was investigated by the U.N. and reported to the world ……

The real question is why did Obummer lie that directly?

Reminds Tubularsock of the lies that Colin Powell spewed into the U.N. chambers about Saddam Hussein’s WMD’s.

A little déjà vu’-ish, don’t you think?

Both Black American Men

Same Middle East

Both Justifying War

Both lying

At the U.N.

Oh look, the onion is getting to its core center, peel, peel, peel.

The backbone of this entire mess was created by the Defense Planning Guidance for the 1994–99 fiscal years (dated February 18, 1992). The unofficial name for this document is THE WOLFOWITZ DOCTRINE named after Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Paul Wolfowitz. But don’t forget his deputy Scooter Libby. 

You remember them right ….. ahhhhh far right!

Paul was a major architect of Bush’s Iraq War and its most hawkish advocate.

And Paul went on to the World Bank and became all mixed up in a sex scandal with Shaha Riza losing his World Bank job over the entire sorted mess.

And Scooter became Cheney’s lap-dog and exposed Valerie Plame as a CIA operative and thus became a traitor to the United States but didn’t get prison time because Little Bush commuted Libby’s prison sentence.

As you can see Paul and Scooter have little in the way of integrity but even with this scum level persona the Wolfowitz Doctrine has been followed and used to direct U.S. foreign policy to the determinant of our country!

His Doctrine pushed for:

1. U.S. Primacy which establishes the U.S’s leadership role (leadership in this context meant taking over control of the world) within the new world order.

2. Unilateralism which downplays the value of international coalitions having the U.S. direct all action.

3. Pre-emptive intervention, the U.S’s right to intervene when and where it believed necessary.

4. And to STOP the possible threat posed by a resurgent Russia.

THIS IS THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM RIGHT HERE!

And until the United States breaks with this insanity we will be in perpetual wars.

As Obummers foreign advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski says: “It Is Infinitely Easier to Kill a Million People than it is to Control Them . . .”

And that means YOU folks ………….. Do you think a mind like THAT has a conscience?

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.

  1. pre-emptive strike IS AGGRESSION. Clear and simple.
  2. Un-declared war while bombing another country IS WAR.
  3. Torture IS torture no matter what fancy word one comes up with to attempt to cover it up.
  4. Signed treaties and agreements legally need to be followed by ALL. Not just by OTHERS.
  5. The rule of law NOT of men MEANS just that, the rule of LAW not of men.
  6. War criminals must be held accountable even if they are Americans.
  7. Regime change by “assisted” revolt or assassination is WAR.
  8. Iraq had NOTHING to do with 9/11
  9. Afghanistan didn’t either!
  10. An example of a terrorist state IS the United States.
  11. And to bring this home to you personally Tubularsock will remind you what your mother told you, “Just because your good friend is a jackass doesn’t mean you have to copy him!”
  12. al Qaida, ISIS, Neo-Nazis of Ukraine were all created and are supported by the U.S., Israel, and England and have and will continue to create BLOWBACK for years to come.
  13. Drones create more terrorists than they destroy.

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”.

Americandrone

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.

children here&there

(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.

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?
