It's 9/11. The buildings come down.

However, the attack isn't for a few hours. It lasts for years and years.

People are thrown out of their homes. They live in tents, have little or no food. Hospitals and schools are destroyed. 

The attackers are American Indian tribes who say they have a right to protect their land that was stolen from them.

How do people go from ordinary lives to being homeless with nothing including enough food? Ask the people of Gaza, Iran, Lebanon.

When you take your shower, eat a full meal, walk your neighborhood, what people in those countries suffering, could be you.

People are boating off the coast of New England. The boats are bombed by Greenland, claiming they have to protect themselves. They are bombing alleged drug smugglers, who couldn't reach the Greenland in those boats if they wanted to. People, who are still alive in the water, and are killed even though they could have been saved. Definite or even indefinite proof of the accusations are never verified.

A new weapon has been invented. NATO has signed a treaty that the U.S. will disarm. A neutral organization verifies that the U.S. is living up to its word. A new head of NATO comes in and nullifies the treaty that is working and then bombs the U.S. 

NATO citizens are lied to but are convinced through propaganda that the bombings are done in self-defence.

A leader of a country throws the world into chaos over tariffs, threats to take over other sovereign countries, kidnaps leaders of other countries, disobeys laws of the his own country and hires an army that attacks and kills its own citizens. The leader is feathering not only his own pocket, but his many nests. The leader lies sometimes about the same thing the same day. 

Wait.

Number 4 is happening now. The governments of Israel and the U.S. are not the good guys,* but who will stop them?

What amazes me is the number of people in and out of leadership who do not know nor care. Or if they care they are too involved in their own self interests. 

Thank you to the millions who cared enough to march this weekend. I hope they participate in the May 1 strike. Ezra Levin, leader of the No Kings Movement has announced, "Levin then outlined what the event would entail.

“On May 1, on May Day, we are saying, ‘No business as usual,’” he said. “No work, no school, no shopping. We’re going to show up and say we’re putting workers over billionaires and kings.”

*I was raised on the propaganda the U.S.A. is always the good guy, saving the world from evil. Now the leaders have become the evil.
