Comments on: UPDATE II: Memorial Weekend Message (Dying for Nothing) https://barelyablog.com/memorial-weekend-message/ by ilana mercer Wed, 02 Apr 2025 19:29:09 +0000 hourly 1 By: Tom https://barelyablog.com/memorial-weekend-message/comment-page-1/#comment-19028 Wed, 01 Jun 2011 14:22:34 +0000 http://barelyablog.com/?p=38250#comment-19028 Many American citizens have joined the military for patriotic reasons; many joined for the specific reason of a sincere patriotic response to the 9-11 terrorist attacks; unfortunately, despite the sincerity of their patriotism, they have been misled by the false belief that 9-11 was an Al-Qaida action, when in fact 9-11 was a “False-flag” conspiracy orchestrated and conducted by the United States government, for United States totalitarian geo-political reasons, and the lying myth of Al-Qaida, perpetuated by the Government and the Establishment news media. And yet it is a mystery: the destruction of the Twin Towers was prophesied in the Book of Revelation, chapter 11. The 9-11 demolition of the World Trade Center buildings was an “Inside Job”, which is also the title of one of the many books written about the 9-11 Government conspiracy. Hitler’s Germany invaded Poland in 1939, after a very small “False-flag” attack, in which a small number of German soldiers had pretended to be Polish soldiers, attacking Germany. Hitler’s Germany and World War Two was also prophesied in the Book of Revelation, which is Jewish book, written by a Jewish-Christian, almost two thousand years ago, but since then almost completely ignored by Jews; similar to Old Testament Jewish sometimes rejection of prophecy. People who do not know history, are condemned to repeat the past history; and who do we have to blame, except ourselves and our lying Government and the lying news media and the lying education system. People who do not know the truth of Biblical prophecy, probably do not believe in Judgement Day.

You can cuss the politicians all you want to and I’ll probably join you. You can cuss the politically minded brass hats and I’ll probably join you. But the grunt in the field or the sailor at sea has no choice about where and with whom he fights. He”s putting it on the line and I honor him for it. He can drink from my canteen anytime.

Here is another reason the U.S. needs to address things here and let the Mideast make their corrections themselves:

So, will the KING OF THE WORLD COMMUNITY ORGANIZER open his eyes and see what is happening here!?!?

I remember with pride Israel winning the 6 day war. There is so much to do to make this country aright once more and so much against it. I am a school teacher in Harlem for 23 years [bravo] now, and love my kids and learned the art of humor and glad to have made a facebook friend of you. [Ditto] I’m not a liberal, because the word is a misnomer not for liberty but the sustenance of boated ineffective bureaucracies that suck the blood of the entrepreneur and the spirit of freedom that made this nation so great. I like that you share the ideas of the libertarian. I think many of our wars have started on noble ground but get corrupted by vested interests. I have turned to humor as a way to weather the storm and vicissitudes of life. Shalom

[Welcome to this space.]

I am from Detroit (yes, in the city!), grew-up there, over the years I have lived in 7 – 10 different U.S. cities spread across the entire U.S. and have been to numerous others for business… DETROIT is the poster child for your initial comment. Visit http://www.detnews.com

My opinion is unless one is a multi-billionaire who will invest there and has access to a dedicated crew of entrepreneurs who will reside there, Detroit and similar cities only have a fine sliver of a chance to survive and prosper.

ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS TO REVERSE THIS DAMNABLE SITUATION WITHIN 10 YEARS?

She lost her cousin to that particular incident/murder. It was sad to read the obituary. Career military who had been recently married. Fortunately no children were left behind. She was 35 years old. When is the empire madness going to end?

The bipartisan “mainstream media” tells us of “progress” in Year 10 (we are “training” the Afghans who apparently are extremely slow learners when fighting with the US/NATO and extremely fast learners fighting against us!) …. and the Obamas, Bushes, McCains, Romneys, Palins, Clintons, Bidens, and Pawlentys bark on how the $300,000 / year Blackwater contractors in Afghanistan are fighting for our “freedom” (which is somehow endangered by some bucktoothed Pushtuns 12,000 miles away) ….

It is all rather surreal.

I am SICK & TIRED of the stupid and BLIND PATRIOTISM that is overruning in the USA. I have been a US citizen since Day ONE and am really irritated at the incredible level of ignorance and stupidity of the typical American. The endless and totally unjustified wars are just sickening and MUST STOP. I personally do not celebrate Memorial Day because to a large drgree it has become more and more of a “fraud”. I can’t stand the fact that people just keep buying into these “endless wars” without questioning them. WHY??

Just give me a nice, solid chockepoint & a sufficient quantity of lean meat & hard liquor & I will defend it.

Quite often I will ask them why they enlisted. Most of the time it is “for the education benefits”. Very few tell me they enlisted to serve their country.
