(upi.com)The Karma
Staged gathering to incense Muslims around the world (like burning a Koran, making sure Afghans know it and riot about it to justify a subsequent backlash against them) or the youthful and spontaneous bad karma of
schadenfreude masked as "patriotism"? To delight in killing or to call for killing means one approves of it. This is the mental and verbal karma of "taking the lives of living beings." Almost as bad is the delusion that killing is a solution and does not cause retaliation by those insulted.
Thankfully, this is all over, right? We can now all live in peace!
Except that
Osama bin Laden was killed long ago, according to Pakistan's assassinated leader, not in a US drone strike like many others but in a plot and coup attempt. It was never Christians against Muslims, so there are no hard feelings, right? Killing solves problems, right? Hanging Saddam Hussein. Murdering Gaddafi's children.
Pres. Obama knew of this before the comedic press dinner yesterday. Why would he plan to break the news late on a Sunday night in Washington, D.C.? It is morning in the Arab world. Is it an act of provocation on the part of the US military? An odd choice for an exquisitely organized public relations-savvy administration.
Because we go to war for oil -- to serve multinational energy companies, the "industrial" in military-industrial complex -- Yemen will be brought down then Saudi Arabia.
That is not the way one would predict. It was revealed by a corporate insider. An oil executive revealed that the goal is to bring gas prices up to a pre-planned level.
Egypt's leader did not step down, but was told to stand down. And when he refused, reneging on an agreement, he was taken down through illness and is now being held for trial (in a kangaroo court of sorts).
Yemen's leader agreed to step down. But when he reneged and said he would rather call out the police state military to kill protesters if necessary, he will be deposed by the US through subterfuge and force. Naturally, if things were as they are reported, one would not think that Saudi Arabia was in line for upheaval.

One of the most inspirational speeches in recorded history was given, paradoxically, by a silent movie comedian named Charlie Chaplin. It beckons us to forgive our Hitlers -- Dick Cheney, the Bush Dynasty, B.S. Obama, Rumsfeld, Rove, Goebbels, Bill Gates, Ashcroft, Rice, Hillary, Stalin, Osama, Kaddafi, Thatcher, Saddam, Adolf... A new and better world -- full of fairness, compassion, and solutions -- is not built by opposing the previous bad, but by erecting the present good. Share these inspiring words around the world in many languages. It has been enhanced with new imagery.
