Americans Slaughtering their own Mirror their leaders’ Indelible Marks of Slaughter Abroad

(Brand USA)

  • Bush2 ordered unspeakable obliteration citing nonexistent WMDs. 
  • Obama kept a hit list and ordered foreign executions. 
  • Trump ridiculed peoples and nations; withdrew from peace treaties and ordered assassinations.
  • All of these men and partners threw up barricades, sanctioned, stole, starved, and terrorized by act, order, lawmaking or acquiescence.

U.S. Aggression, Death Toll Abroad 2022 update


United States leadership is directly or indirectly (by order, legislation, act or acquiescence) conducting aggression under the pretext of “fighting ‘terrorism’ in 76 countries.” 

The deadliest of these sadistic acts have reportedly occurred against the nations, peoples, institutions and cultures of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Business Insider Daniel Brown and Azmi Haroun, August 26, 2022, “The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have killed at least 500,000 people, according to a report that breaks down the toll,” https://www.businessinsider.com/how-many-people-have-been-killed-in-iraq-and-afghanistan


Killing Fields Update 2021

“At least 929,000 people have been killed by direct war violence in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, and Pakistan.”

Since 2001, “more than 387,000 civilians have been killed in the fighting.”
United States hysteria and reckless actions following the event occurring on September 11, 2001, in New York City and Northern Virginia have forced “at least 38 million” people from their dwellings and homelands of “Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, the Philippines, Libya, and Syria.” Except World War II, the displacement total “exceeds the total of people displaced by every war since 1900.”

Creating terrorist and terrorism: Countries against which the U.S. has committed aggression, destabilization and occupation have turned into laboratories “in which militant groups… hone techniques of violence and recruitment” spread across the South, Central and West Asia, and beyond.

American Leaders’ Lessons to America’s Young

The masters’ message (mirrored among the masses) is this. When something goes other than “your” way, turn on the tantrum of the child— but this tantrum must be (and is) far… far worse than any tantrum of any child. 

Commit a most heinous act (or a series of them). Kill or maim. Destroy some person, place, or thing. Destroy anything and everything. And, as you are operating in the image of and on orders from a god almighty blame-casting Exceptionalism (conjured up in your own warped mind)expect to get away with Murder. Expect to get off scot-free—unchecked and unchastised no matter what act or how horrific the act you have committed.

There’s something seriously wrong in a homeland where homegrown powers cavalierly and boastfully slaughter over here and over there. And, on top of that, when they carry on a local-to-global business of creating killers and other destroyers.
