248 years ago, on July 4, 1776, the United States declared independence from the British Empire, and from 1786 until today, Washington has carried out 469 military interventions worldwide.
Some of the worst acts of American military aggression include the bombing of Cambodia, the bombing of Yugoslavia, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and interventions in Libya and Syria.
It is significant that 251 US military operations have taken place after 1991, when the Soviet Union collapsed - the only country in the world that could equally resist Washington's aggression.
Yes indeed - but like even the most well-informed truth-tellers you omit to mention or give major prominence to the US-UK-backed and applauded 1965-1966 anti-communist/leftist/socialist "Indonesian Purge". Between 500,000 to 1.2 million people were hideously butchered/slain/slaughtered.
I choose to differ. It's imperative to remind or inform people about major often ignored /unknown/wilfully buried atrocities. - or any inconvenient buried ugly truths - and to learn from relatively recent historical (eg.1966) events that both the mainstream media AND "alternative" media frequently fail to mention
I got up and read the news. A community encampment dismantled at 5:00 this morning. Keir Starmer's wife is a Zionist. Then I read Caitlin's post. How did she know this is just the morning when we need reminding that while there is life, there is hope.
My father, 4 brothers, and I all served active duty in the US military; what Israel is doing to the Palestinian civilians, women and children is murder and slaughter and is not “war”. It’s about like beating and starving your child to death. Israel has committed this and the stain cannot be removed anymore than a Nazi could remove their stain. It’s done and cannot be undone. Never forget.
Many thanks to Caitlin for a wonderful poem, pulling at our heartstrings and hopelessness.
Zoe, We know who is responsible for what ails the world. Wherever we look their fingerprints are there in all the trouble spots. With their 800 or so military bases they control the world. They have a strangle hold on the world economy.
What are we going to do about it? It is time for the American people to rise up and cast aside the tormentors ..... and the rest will follow.
Yes how?? USA people work and go home. The idea that american workers will rise up is slim, they probably wont for a long time. Most americans seem to not know what is going on. So...
It should have happened a long time ago. We could have saved thousands of lives as a result.
After all, the Church in Rome might be the only organisation that is not subject to Jewish infiltration and parasitical influence. "Might be".
But then again, the fact that no one from Rome has taken up any arms, verbally, against the abuser of the sixth Commandment, "Thous Shall Not Kill", might indicate otherwise. Can't recall the Pope having said a single word against Biden and his disgraceful inhumane record.
If you are reading these pages Joe, you hypoctrical murderer, the Sixth Commandment forbids 'direct and intentional killing as gravely sinful'.
Can someone explain this to the poor old Roman Catholic soul. In very simple terms, please.
JB is as much a Catholic as a Zionist is a Jew. Zionism is not Judaism and Zionism is not Catholicism. He has proclaimed to be a Zionist, and thereby renounced his loyalty to God and His commandments.
We wont all collapse at the same time luckily i collapsed in the early 80s i will never collapse again. I did expect the current unconstitutional and genocidal acts by the USA but i am not still in denial or stuck in shock. We must accept reality and move foward on the straight path. It is the only way.
"We need to feel it all, collapse for awhile, then carry on with what we have left." Not sure what you mean by "all". but if a nuclear war is involved in any way, what will be left will probably remain unlivable for most species on the planet, if not all of them. 'An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure' is the only remedy available, and everyone needs to have taken it out of the medicine cabinet yesterday.
I keep picking at that callous. As much as I made sure to love the pain, after all this time it was inevitable that I wouldn’t be able to scrape that whole thing off. But right now the burning tears comfort me. My heart is still open and could even open wider if I don’t look away. If I refuse to avoid the pain. This is my resistance. And today—with your help, kind friend—my victory. Shattered and bleeding out, laughing and weeping and ALIVE. Thank you so much Caitlin. You are an angel, and these words may bear even more truth than you know. Blessings to you and everyone who reads her magnificent poem.
I was going to write a long reply and just deleted it. You know all those things already. My heart rests in the Creator’s promises. Nothing precious is ever truly lost, and when we are all reunited there will be one heck of a party. But we’re not there yet, and if nothing else we must bear witness. I am committed to not looking away. Committed to praying that the evil designs of the powers at play bite them in the ass with every move they make, and that those who are alive and remain have the strength to
Survive the aftermath. Not necessarily in this skin, but in our spirits. 💜🕊️
Haven’t been on this as long as you have but after over 30 years of watching Palestinians be abused,maligned, robbed and killed..and walking in the Spirit through it all…my heart still breaks with each new offense and I get stronger every time it happens. Slowly painting my way through this and hope to share them with comments that are still brewing in my mind or I’d have done it already.
Thank you Caitlin, your poem reminds me of the frailty of humanity in the face of horror but also our inner strength. Which when after we have wept and raged makes us fight on.
Tim's narration is especially moving. My exhaustion briefly yielded to the peace of his voice. Thank you. I'm unsure what remains in me, but shall try to use that moment of calm as a jumping off point from which to marshal my paltry energy to hopefully fight on.
This! If we're paralyzed with fatigue or depression or fear then we just let the monsters continue on in their destructive behaviors. Take the arm of a fellow comrade in the fight and get back on your feet and back into the fight. We need ALL of us working together to set things right.
Brava!! This is by far your best poem yet, Caitlin. We should let the cruelty of the world break our hearts, and then we should work together to re-mend them into a stronger whole that can take on the monsters who starve and bomb babies into oblivion as casually as they order their martinis. Power to the heartbroken people!

Sadly, "too long to list" of atrocities applies here. I just wanted to point to the recent and familiar history. But thanks for your input.

Thank you for this invaluable perspective on the issue. This country will be bombed.
Zoe,
According to Murphy's Law, not only "this country" but all nations since radiation, total darkness and deep freezing do not have national boundaries.
When I think I have nothing left, you remind me that I do. Let’s get it.
I stand beside you in the fight.
I got up and read the news. A community encampment dismantled at 5:00 this morning. Keir Starmer's wife is a Zionist. Then I read Caitlin's post. How did she know this is just the morning when we need reminding that while there is life, there is hope.
You spoke for me, Caitlin. Thank you.
My father, 4 brothers, and I all served active duty in the US military; what Israel is doing to the Palestinian civilians, women and children is murder and slaughter and is not “war”.

USA is totally responsible as well. So are we. Unless you do something about it. Want ideas?

Sure. I already boycott stuff but feel free to advise further.

Absolutely beautiful poem 🥰
Your words as a poem
Let the cruelty of the world break our hearts, dear friend,
Together, let’s weep for Gaza’s shredded, emaciated forms,
Mocked by their tormentors' cackling scorn.
For amputees and orphans in Ukraine and Russia’s strife,
Their icy-eyed oppressors draining life.
Let’s mourn for gasping plants and dying wildlife,
As ambition-clouded minds drive us to the brink,
Making our planet uninhabitable, forcing us to think.
Let it all in, let it shatter our core,
We are not soldiers, nor killers, our hearts are soft, not war-torn.
Let the world’s cruelty smash us to dust,
Scatter us in the wind, in anguish we trust.
Surrender to sorrow, let it immolate our being,
And then see what remains after this unseeing.
Life keeps on lifeing, even swept away,
Heartbreak held back, yet we don’t decay.
The hurricane of sorrow, permitted to tear,
Yet lungs fill with air, veins pulse without despair.
The rising sun’s light seeps into our eyes,
Strength returns, and slowly we rise.
Bodies shaking off the weight of despair,
Sitting up, standing, breathing the fresh air.
Ready to fight, having felt the world’s sting,
Destroyed, yet finding what remains, we cling.
Let the world’s cruelty break us, dear friend,
And from the ruins, we fight till the end.
Yes, let's.
We need to feel it all, collapse for awhile, then carry on with what we have left.
And support each other as we do this.
We wont all collapse at the same time luckily i collapsed in the early 80s i will never collapse again. I did expect the current unconstitutional and genocidal acts by the USA but i am not still in denial or stuck in shock. We must accept reality and move foward on the straight path. It is the only way.
Zoe.. "straight path" ..... not sure such a path exists... and if so, where is it? .
Yes, perfect appraisal. I fight along side you.
Diana,

Thank you👏👏👏
Too many humans see the cruelty of the world and think "I gotta get with the winning side!"
Maybe but being bombed isnt fun
I know, ask those who Amurdica has bombed.
God love you for this. For all you post. I do.
I keep picking at that callous. As much as I made sure to love the pain, after all this time it was inevitable that I wouldn’t be able to scrape that whole thing off.

Hannah, Keep the door of your heart open.
Rest veiw the world in this new spiritual way and when you can unfold and move forward. Your path though difficult will be more illuminated

There are no other words Caitlin then, I LOVE YOU : )

Globalists want to you to either feel fatigued to care, or immobilized by depression. Don't let them.

Great helpful observation
