The so-called war on terror is a palpable fraud. It is enemy propaganda that leaves us no choice but to vote for the politicians who can scare us the most. This is a contest Democrats cannot win and should not play. And we must not let them.

AMERICAN GENOCIDE

When Columbus invaded America there were more than 15 million native Americans in what is now the U.S. By 1890 there were 300,000, a 97% death rate. Our nation sits on the bones on one of the greatest genocides in human history.

WHERE IS THE BLACK CHURCH ON IRAQ?

African Americans overwhelmingly oppose the war in IRaq, and have done so since its beginning. 650,000 Iraqis are now dead, compared to less than 3,000 Americans, a ratio of 200 to 1. Why then, do we allow black preachers in black churches to pray every Sunday ONLY for the Americans “in harm's way” and not for the other 99% of the dead, who are Iraqis?.

WAR IS THE HEALTH OFTHE STATE

America's leaders need war, like vampires need blood. Even if it's war on a noun.
In fact, in an era where politicians create and exploit fear to stay in power, the so-called “war on terror” is an invaluable political tool, something they cannot do without.
