When I first read this story, I smiled…until I realized that it wasn’t your Fake News. This is obscene.

For Chris Hedges:  Chris, I’m sorry. I use to think that your column was a touch melodramatic. Now I realize that you haven’t been shouting loud enough. Maybe a passive resistance campaign is the only way out.

So being shut down for months improved their safety record, imagine what being
shut down permanently could do for it.

So long as the corporate citizen still exists in equal to the individual citizen.  This
is just par for the course.  Until we re-address this constitutional rupture which
pits individual versus corporate interests.  Nothing will change.

This above article highlights what happens when businesses are allowed to police themselves. Greed is the only motive they have for breathing. If there were real punishments for the company and the individuals involved there would be no bonuses and a real effort to clean up the mess they made of the Gulf.

Here is an idea, why not seize all the wealth from the people who own the company and use it to clean up the mess in the gulf—why is it really at the end of the day the taxpayer who already paid for the huge bonuses, who are in the end expected to pay the cleanup? As Exxon “the sign of the double cross” said so many years ago, we will just deduct the cost from the taxes we don’t pay” of course that isn’t an exact quote.

The bonus money is also a signal to those whom receive it. Keep quiet, and this bonus will keep coming.

War is the same way. Create weapons, sell weapons, wage wars, create more
weapons, wage more wars, sell more weapons.

There is no one out there to stop the chain of violence that the human civilization is currently in.

We’ve all had that thought… maybe by the year 2001 the wars will be behind us.

What ever happens to the human race now, we deserve it. There are still military schools training young to kill, still the video games training to kill.

The generation that is younger than us bloggers on this site are concerned with making the dollar, playing whatever first person shooter game that’s arrived - not protesting against an administration and pentagon, that controls a president in office, no matter who, no matter which term, or how many terms.

So if you think voting someone new - into any office will change the pattern of violence in the USA you have been fooled big time. Your kids kids are going to die on some battle field because war has been glamorized, its been sold like a product, its been held high like an honor, its been spoken of like a martyr.

This is the brainwash. The hustle. And we all know someone who has been in the military, and may still be in. You sign, you do what they say. Period. Kill for me? Done.

Pentagon and corporations benefit each other and those standing at the top of the monetary chain. They have as much empathy for you as you have for an ant on the ground.

Reality check.

Take a close look at each presidents war history during their term, and don’t forget to look at the covert wars.

Now watch the years roll by. See any changes in the violence? Me neither.

History won’t lie to you. That is something they cannot cover up. You only have to look into that window to see where we are going. And we are going for more wars. 

Killing is a learned behavior. This world, this country, has more people that will kill, than would not. If the end does arrive for the world, well, we certainly have it coming.

Generations of humans go by. These words I’m typing now, feel pointless.

Nothings gonna change my world.

I can’t escape those whom lack the empathy gene. They will kill for comfort. I will not. I am divided from family members for my belief in peace and love.

So I will die probably for having empathy and a conscious.

And after my generation is gone? Will anything change fifty years from now?

Absolutely not - just new faces, new wars, humans, that still haven’t stopped killing.

My message to those assholes;

I can only hope and pray, that those who are a part, of instigating the chain of violence, suffer severely, and those, that are unable, to find the courage to open their eyes and say no to keeping quiet, out of fear of their future, spend eons in pain.

Am I bitter? Obviously. I have now joined the ranks of wishing violence upon the violent.
Since I’ve gone there I may as well state:

This is my big F.U. to those who choose to not wake up. You’ve destroyed empathy, intelligence, and what could have been an emerging Type 1 civilization.

But no, your greed and fear fucked us, I hope your torture is endless - you know who you are.
