Flashback Friday

Rachel Aliene Corrie (April 10, 1979 – March 16, 2003)

Back in March of 03, while many Americans were glued to the tv watching the "Shock and Awe" over and over of our fighter jets dropping bombs killing men, women and children of Iraq and chanting 9/11....9/11....9/11, I saw a story of a 23 year old American that was run over by an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) bulldozer in the Gaza Strip. Her story always stuck with me, probably because she was young, innocent and most likely thought she could change things. I couldn't imagine the feelings she must have had witnessing the slaughter of innocent men, women and children by a very powerful war machine.
While putting this post together it brought back many memories, and sadness, of the many articles I've read and documentaries I've watched over the years of what Israel has done, not only to the Palestinians, but also the surrounding nations.
When I started this blog my main intention was to inform, to the best of my ability, to those few readers that have no life, what our corporate owned media here in the states won't allow us to see.
Israel is one subject that we see only one side of.

CAUTION........this is gonna piss someone off I know it, and I don't mean for any disrespect to those that may have lost a family member or a friend, but when one of our soldiers dies over in Iraq or Afghanistan, I get angry, and not at those they are fighting, but at those that sent them.
I get angry when I hear "they lost their lives fighting for our freedoms".......bull fuckin shit!
They died because our war machine, our corporations wanted them to fight. They start wars, and feed us with propaganda.
Sorry.
Next week I will spend a lot of time posting about Israel with tons of information, and if you pay attention, by the end of the week you will have a better understanding of why we are at war..........or perhaps you will still be chanting 9/11.....9/11.....9/11 and if that's the case, then I didn't do a good enough job at presenting the other side of the story.

I will start a "Tin Foil Hat Tuesday" that could turn out to be rather interesting. You will either put this blog into your wacko folder (if you haven't already) or it will make you think and give you incentive to open your mind to a different perspective of what you have been told.

So here is a clip with Rachel
