From The
Idiot Factor:
According to the first article, Acting Secretary of Defense
Christopher Miller said:
"We
are not a people of perpetual war- it is the antithesis of everything for which
we stand and for which our ancestors fought. All wars must end."
I have
complained for years that the US doesn't need to occupy other people's
countries nor do it need to be involved in all the imperialist wars. I don't
know why Trump is against these wars, other than his "
Unfortunately,
Trump is not against unnecessary killing of human beings. Here in this country,
he is pushing to make sure that people on death row are executed before he
leaves office. He has also opened the door for the
"Precisely
one week before Thanksgiving, Orlando Hall became the eighth person incarcerated in
federal prisons to be executed this year after Attorney General William Barr lifted a 17-year ban on the federal
government’s implementation of the death penalty. When Hall, 49, was killed by lethal
injection, he became the first person that a lame-duck administration has
executed in more than 100 years.
This wasn’t some sort of scheduling
happenstance, caused by a rapid succession of appeals that pushed Hall’s date
down the calendar. No, his date quickly followed the killing of Christopher Vialva in late September, and Barr has
scheduled five more before Biden is inaugurated as president. His Department of
Justice just concluded that there was no evidence of widespread voter fraud,
which we all knew — but Barr clearly realized weeks ago that he and the
president would be out of a job come January 20th. Why else would they have started
scheduling executions, rushing to kill those who are incarcerated on the
federal government’s death row? Perhaps because these prisoners might be
otherwise spared under President-elect Biden, who wants to eliminate the death penalty?"
So
why do conservatives such as Trump, want people executed so badly? Why do
conservatives such as Trump love the death penalty so much? I have read several
articles by people who complain that Communist countries have killed more
people than any other ideology. Yet many right-wing capitalists believe in
executions. They want to kill people. Quoting Time Magazine, Yahoo
News said:
“The Cuban leader’s passing comes at a time of change between the two nations, which have had a tense relationship over the past five decades. President Obama sought to reverse that in his last term in office, reopening an embassy on the island and opening up channels for both travel and the exchange of some goods. “During my presidency, we have worked hard to put the past behind us, pursuing a future in which the relationship between our two countries is defined not by our differences but by the many things that we share as neighbors and friends,” Obama said before offering condolences to the Cuban people and the family of Castro.
“As they do, the Cuban people must know that they have a friend and partner in the United States of America,” Obama concluded.
His statement stands in stark contrast to that of President-elect Donald Trump, who called Castro a “brutal dictator” whose legacy was one of “firing squads, theft, unimaginable suffering, poverty and the denial of fundamental human rights.”
“It is my hope that today marks a move away from the horrors endured for too long, and toward a future in which the wonderful Cuban people finally live in the freedom they so richly deserve,” Trump said.”
On top of our executions, we also have a drone program that
kills suspected terrorists and if they are around their families, their family
members are killed. They also like the drone program that kills people in
foreign countries seen as a threat to this country. The assassinations take
place without any due process. Our government simply kills people, and if their
families are present, women, children, etc. they are killed also. If terrorists
(or revolutionaries) do that to people in this country, people here complain.
But when this country kills their innocent people, people here are OK with
that. Trump seems to be using assassinations of all kinds in his presidency. Press
Reader has posted an article: "Targeted
Assassinations could open a Pandora's Box," Also according to CBS
News:
"Satellite-controlled machine gun with "artificial
intelligence" was used in last week's assassination of a
top nuclear scientist in

It
has been reported that Israelis have been blamed for the action:
"Iranian authorities have blamed arch foe
But at the same time, some pundits say that Trump was behind
the attack and simply used another country to actually carry out the execution.
Again we see a fondness for executions.
The death penalty has been outlawed in
most of Europe, with the exception of such authoritarian/ fascistic countries
as
