Obama accepting his Nobel Peace Prize.
Recently, Maria Rodale, the CEO of the publishing company Rodale, Inc., wrote an open letter to President Obama regarding Syria, urging him to reconsider his position to press for a military strike against Syria.
While there is nothing unusual about Maria's anti-war sentiment, with a recent Washington/ABC poll finding nearly six in 10 Americans oppose military action as a response to the Syrian government's alleged use of chemical weapons, her reference to biotech companies like Monsanto poisoning our children and environment with the president's support and encouragement, and her claim that the viral Facebook meme below contributed to her realization, caused the mainstream media to fume with reactionary waves of criticism and character assault.
All of this, of course, distracts from the underlying context of the coming war in Syria, which is a war (like most wars in modern history) spurred by the geopolitical machinations of 'resource procurement,' and which like most wars, are many years in the making. All else, as Frank Zappa pointed out, has strictly entertainment value.
Comment: This is a stunningly blatant example of how a handful of billionaires completely control the US government. These billionaires want to start a war with Syria because it is GOOD FOR BUSINESS. They make big money off of every bullet and bomb sold, and they reap insane profits from the natural resources stolen from the indigenous populations in the invaded countries. The fact that thousands of innocent Syrians will be slaughtered does not matter to them in the slightest. The fact that American solders will be killed doesn't phase them either. They have no morals, ethics, or empathy... all they have is a pathological, unending desire for more power and money, and they don't care who dies, as long as they get it..
