SO THAT’S WHAT’S GOIN’ DOWN?
Killing PEOPLE has become redundant. It almost has come down to the fact that if you haven’t been killed you really don’t fit into the society. Somehow you are a misfit because you haven’t been slaughtered by some “loan-wolf-professed-terrorist” that is of a browned skin persuasion. Or even by a broken-home-child with an AK-47 that was treated badly by bullies that is of a white skin persuasion.
Of course not that skin color has anything to do with it but white skin just makes you act like a “non-terrorist”. By current definition.
Well, that is only the appearance that is given by the maimed-streamed-media. It is what sells papers, gains viewers or collect ears for radio talk shows. All in the name of being informed with the regular message that TIDE™ makes your clothes WHITER and so does CLORAX™!
So when the tragedy in Nice, France ended up killing 84 or so men, women and children at the Bastille Day celebration the Western Press went bat-shit over EVERY horrifying detail. Background stories on the victims, interviews with the people at the event and a complete step by step description of the perpetrator.
The New York Times, LATimes, Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal all had major front page detailed coverage of the Nice tragedy. And there is no denying the fact that it was worthy of attention and discussion and an outpouring of grief. After all they were innocents being targeted.
BUT just five days later on July 19th a U.S. coalition airstrike in Syria killed more than 60 civilians according to The Telegraph (7/19/16) and possibility up to 100 according to The Intercept (7/19/16).
But in this case the U.S. coalition airstrike which were reported as “an accident” was denied by the Pentagon saying they were investigating the incident.
“We are aware of reports alleging civilian casualties in the area,” U.S. Marine Maj. Adrian J.T. Rankine-Galloway, a Pentagon spokesperson, said . . . “If the information supporting the allegation is determined to be credible, we will then determine the next appropriate step,” the spokesperson added. “We take all measures during the targeting process to avoid or minimize civilian casualties or collateral damage and to comply with the principles of the Law of Armed Conflict.” The Intercept (7/19/16)
And we can all be assured what “. . . we will then determine the next appropriate step . . .” means. Usually, classify it Top Secret to protect National Security!
The story of these innocent civilians were not headline news in The New York Times or The LA Times and were hardly mentioned. While The Wall Street Journal and Washington Post only gave a short front page intro then moving the story details back to A-16 and A-15 respectively. In truth, just burying the story as best they could. Adam Johnson, The 4th Media (7/22/16)
Now Syria IS a war zone and therefore civilians being killed are just expected so no need to cover “these people”, know what Tubularsock means? And hell, is it even news anyway?
BUT so is Nice! NICE IS A WAR ZONE TOO! If you follow the logic of George War Bush and Obomber. The War on Terror is a World-Wide-War where the United States can bomb, drone, kill, detain, torture, kidnap, perform signature strikes, and assassinate in order to preserve LAW AND ORDER and protect the interests of the United States!
Just how dare some terrorist interloper take the lead from the killing machine that is America! Where in the hell does one of those “tanned-skinned” Tunisian’s get off killing innocent people!
THAT IS THE JOB OF THE UNITED STATES! Fucking uppity Tunisian!
DIRTY POLITICS?
