The U.S. government is the biggest bully in the world. Not just to other countries in the world but to the citizens of the U.S. too.
Let's stop to think about what the U.S. government does around the world.
First the government kills women and children all the time through drone attacks. They do this indiscriminately. The U.S. government does this even without the approval of the countries they are killing the people in. The U.S. doesn't care about the sovereignty of another country. I have been researching drone attacks in Pakistan and how many innocent men, women and children the U.S. has killed. (I am going to include some of the research and information at the bottom of this article)
It really is sad to see a country that was suppose to be the shining light of humanity when it was formed with equal justice for all. Yet the country has degraded so badly due to the morals of the leaders/elected officials.
We were suppose to be a place that other countries and people could look up to as an example of moral and ethical leadership and how the people of the country were free, yet worked for the benefit of all of mankind.
The U.S. as it stands today has become the most immoral country with the least ethical leaders of the world.
Through torture, jailing people without any rights or justice in a courtroom (including U.S. citizens), invading other countries, killing the innocent people including children without thought or remorse, poisoning it's own citizens through the air, water and food and bullying it's own citizens to get it's way.
Now... there is that term "Like begets Like."
The government has become a bully, yet they are shocked when citizens of the U.S. act out in a violent manner. I don't believe people should act out in violence at all, but I also don't pretend to be "holier than thou" either, like the U.S. government does.
How did the country come to believe that we are the ones with the rights to all things in the world and to hell with the rest of the people of the world?
The U.S bullies it's citizens and creates a mind set through the media of "peer pressure." They did this with those who smoke cigarettes, to the point of smokers hiding to smoke. In N.Y. and California, you can't even smoke in the opened air hardly. It doesn't not matter if you agree with smoking or not... the fact is the U.S. became a bully to those who do. FYI - I have researched about smoking and it is not all that it has been made to be. The facts are what causes cancer are all the 3000 additives the big corps put in. If people smoked pure tobacco without additives.. then it is actually good for you in many ways. Don't just believe me... do some research yourself. Also at the time of the big push against smokers, is when they began chemtrails in the 80's. (Smoke coats your lungs so you don't absorb a lot of the poisons)
Now with the gun issue, the government and media are going to attempt to do the same thing with gun owners. Where gun owners will hide the fact they have guns. They are using the media to go after legal gun owners, to make them ashamed of owning a gun. It is exactly what they did with smokers.
A media outlet decided to risk people's lives and safety by putting an interactive map of law abiding citizens who have a legal right and permit to own a gun. The address and names of all of those U.S. citizens in 3 counties in New York are on the net. They are there for any robber or desperate person to get a hold of a gun, to break in. But what the base of this is, is to bully those who are law abiding citizens who utilize their 2nd amendment of the constitution to have a gun. They are trying to get people to give up their guns through "embarrassment." (I will again say, this is exactly what they did with smokers. Many gave up smoking due to the peer pressure and being ostracized for smoking.)
Update 12/26/12 10:10 pm - Article about ..A blogger put up an interactive map of the newpaper's staff with their names and addresses. This includes the publisher's home address that put out the gun owners interactive map.
Here is the actual information on the bloggers site of the names and addresses of the staff.
What that media outlet has done is one of the biggest bullying tactics and they may have caused people to lose their lives in the future by doing so. I can only hope that all of those people who are on the map with their names and addresses will have their guns next to them at night now. There may be shootings in defense of themselves in houses around N.Y.
If people view things with a clear and honest vision, they will see that the U.S. government and media is the bully in the school yard that talks out of both sides of their mouth.
Children learn through their peers and parents as they are growing up, what is right and wrong. They learn how to treat others through their experiences and culture. Is there any wonder there is more violence now in the world, when the U.S. kills innocent people around the world and invades countries? All anyone has to do is look at what they are being taught by those that are suppose to uphold the morals and ethics of the country. Is there any wonder that kids think it is okay to bully another, when the U.S. government does it to the rest of the world? Is it any wonder that kids think violence is okay over all, when the U.S. commits violent acts around the world? Is there any wonder that people think they can get away with crimes when all the bankers that have committed fraud are free and never prosecuted?
The media acts so outraged when someone does something in the U.S. of a violent nature. Isn't it time that the U.S. government and media look in the mirror to view themselves?
I have never played a violent game that I see advertisements on all the time... I am not a "gamer." I personally don't see how someone can find killing lots of people in a game as being fun. I do have a question, how does someone distinguish what is real or fiction when they spend hours and hours in those role playing games of killing others?
It is up to each of us to recognize bullying when we see it. It is up to each of us to not be a part of it and speak out against bullying by an individual, government, media or peer group.
We have to stand up to bullying and it seems that the U.S. government and media gets what they want through bully tactics. Don't forget that the U.S. government is now using drones insides the U.S.. I have no doubt at some point they will justify bombing their own citizens and the media of course will have their back in convincing people why it should be done.
Don't think that will happen? Let me ask you this... did you ever think that owning a gun would become like smoking..where you have to hide that fact and be "ashamed" of it due to government and media pressure?
Regarding Drones there have been studies done in regards to how many people have been killed by drones and if drones really hit their targets or simply kills innocent men, women and children.
Last week an article came out "Confessions of a Drone Operator."
The guy quit after he killed an innocent child, yet another person that was part of the government called that child a "dog." It makes you stop and contemplate... how did the morals in our government go so far down to call a child a dog?
I began researching drones and what the U.S has done and how many children have been killed last week.
The U.S. has continually jeopardized other countries sovereignty by using drones to kill the citizens of the country. You have to wonder what would happen if another country felt it was there right to use drones inside the U.S. boundaries to kill people they said were a threat to their country? We know that a war would start as the U.S. would scream and shout that the country that is using the drones would be committing "acts of war." The U.S. would be the typical bully in that they can do as they want but don't turn the tables on them... then it is "unfair and unjust."
There is this site of the stories of the victims of U.S. drone attacks.
Here is the information about a village and innocent people killed from a U.S. drone attack.
As of August 2011 an estimated 168 innocent children have been killed by the United States government and they have not once apologized for it.
Where are the morals and ethics of that?
The Columbia Law school did an extensive study about U.S. drone attacks and their impact on the countries and citizens that were attacked.
It is 83 pages long but I have taken segments out of it that I believe are important to this discussion and understanding of what the U.S. has and is doing.
Oh another thing, I did not realize how extensively the U.S. using drones around the world and in many countries. It is not just Pakistan and Afghanistan that drones are used.
Here are excerpts from the article:
There is a lot more in the site linked. The above shows there is not accountability for the U.S. and they kill as they please.
We the people, in the United States are moral people on a whole. We need to start demanding our government become moral and ethical as it was meant for them to be. We need to show the world that we do not support killing innocent men, women and children of the world.
If we keep allowing it without saying something.... then how can we raise our voices when they start doing it to their own citizens on U.S. soil if we did not raise our voices about them doing it elsewhere?
How do we change what is happening? That is one big question... because how do we each try and make that difference? How do we each stand up and show the correct morals and ethics to the bully and hope that the example becomes the norm?
We need to demand morals and ethics once more as part of our foundation of the United States. We need to demand the elected officials stop bullying the world and their own citizens through the TSA, police states and drone spying.
I know that is asking a lot but in having compassion for the rest of the world's people, we will begin to have compassion for ourselves and others around us once more.
