The greatest destroyer of peace isn't mass murders. It is more about the response to these mass murders. Only yesterday, Paris experienced what we are told are political murders. We have no idea who did this or why. We do know what the media spews. What government spews. We have learned too well not to trust either.
Nearly everywhere people are discussing these horrendous acts. They guess who did this and why. They talk on and on about it. It occupies the media day and night. Government types become academic, decide what they will report and the sheeple repeat it.
This is the second time this year Paris has experienced recent killings. It is everywhere on the news day and night. No where do citizens investigate what really happened. They don't want to know. They want to continue taking selfies, going to their favorite brewery and go about their business. They don't look to the governments which got them in this mess in the first place. And while their hearts ache for these unnecessary deaths, all will be forgotten until the corporate government media reminds them again to be in fear.
Once again more and more innocent people die because of lies. Lies. The greatest destroyer of peace is indifference. Indifference to the situations which allow these deaths in the first place. My heart breaks for all these families. I have hosted many over the years. I wonder if any of my exchange students were killed, hurt or maimed.
The worst destroyer of peace is also the inaccurate report telling us who is responsible. There are those who will do the investigative journalism. Some will disappear. Some will die suspiciously. It is rare that any of it will reach the main stream media. They are owned by the corporations who have clandestine relationships with government.
It is well nigh time for honesty. For truth. But until the critical masses expect more, take an active role in citizenship, the same thing will continue.
A blank page.
