How Sad It It Is to Watch Americas Abandonment of Morality and Degeneration into Evil. by Paul Craig Roberts

To be an American today is to collect a basket full of sadness. We have been at war forever for the profits of the military-security complex, for the hegemonic ideology of the neoconservatives, for Cold War hysteria, and for Israel.

Huge sums of money have been wasted for no benefit to the American people. Just yesterday I was listening to a deputy sheriff tell me how frustrating it was that he cannot reach the criminal American elite and bring them home to their crimes, but has, instead, to focus on the minor crimes of their lower class victims.

I asked him why it is the lower class that most waves the flag, and he said that patriotism is all that they have that gives them meaning. I responded that this means that they cannot escape their victimhood, and he said "that is what is sad about it."

Parents have not come home from Washington,D.C.s wars to their spouses, children, family, and friends. They died for the military-security complexs profits, for Israel, or for some dumbshit ideology.

They did not die for the United States of America, but for their deaths to have meaning, their families have to insist that they did.

With the United States of American people trapped in this way, Washington,D.C can pile up the deaths, thanking the dead not for defending the military-security complexs profits, but for "defending America." In this way Washington,D.C. can continue its endless wars. Dying for the United States of America is a way the lower class can find meaning in their lives.

Now that Russia has shown that there is to be no American victory in Ukraine, Washington,D.C. has renewed its war adventures in the Middle East, aligning solidly with Israels massacre of the Palestinians and against the Arab and Muslim countries that oppose what is an Israeli genocide of the Palestinians.

Palestinian women, children, hospitals, schools, social infrastructure are being blown to tiny pieces with the American bombs and missiles that President Biden is handing to Israels Nazi leader, Netanyahu, who is under indictment both in Israel and now in effect by the International Court of Justice.

But this means nothing to Washington,D.C., which sees itself as the exceptional, indispensable country unaccountable to any law, domestic or international.

The alleged "moral democracies," the US, UK, EU, Japan, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Iceland, thumbed their noses at the International Court of Justices verdict against Israel by suspending their funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), the major source of aid to the Palestinians in Gaza.

What does this tell us about the morality of the Western World. It tells us that it is worse than in Sodom and Gomorrah.

How can we be Proud United States of Americans when the suspension of funding by Washington,D.C. will impact life-saving assistance for over two million civilians, over half of whom are children, who rely on UNRWA aid in Gaza? The population faces starvation and an outbreak of disease under Israels bombardment and blockade of aid.

This is the way that Zionist Israel, together with its Biden Regime Democrat ally, intends to accomplish its genocidal elimination of the Palestinian people.

Israel has blockaded all water, food, electricity, and medical supplies to Gaza for the last 120 days. As a result, a half million Palestinians face starvation.

The massive and ongoing bombing of Gaza, courtesy of the continuous shipment of United States munitions to Israel, has killed and wounded at least 90,000 Palestinians, 70% of them women and children. More than 1000 children have had to undergo amputations without anesthesia. There is no medicine, no blood for transfusions, no clean water to wash wounds. And no food. Only more bombs falling from the sky each day, thanks to the United States of America.

Chris Hedges reports that the Wests alleged humanitarian and medical institutions refuse to denounce Israels decimation of human life in Gaza. We are faced with the stark fact that even Western medical and humanitarian institutions are in the pocket of Israeli Zionists. Morality cannot be found on the scene.

How is it that a tiny county, the existence of which depends entirely on American support, can force the world to accept genocide at the risk of the war widening into Nuclear Armageddon??
