Most Americans don’t really understand Memorial Day.
Today is a holiday in the US; we call it Memorial Day. It replaces separate holidays we once had for the various branches of our military. Ostensibly, it’s the day we stop to remember all those who died in war, particularly those in uniform.
So far as I can determine, we militantly refuse to consider those who died on the other side. Most galling is our refusal to remember those who died innocently. I’ve not heard a single Memorial Day speech, prayer, or other statement that made note of such things.
So far as I can determine, not a single declared war has been legitimate in the history of the United States. No, the American Revolution was not legitimate. What I mean is, not a one of them was actually for the reasons stated. In many cases we secretly or openly provoked the conflict, and too often it was a false flag operation, and in each one we committed unspeakable atrocities. It’s pretty hard to find any mention of our war crimes. Only a tiny fraction of our war criminals were prosecuted; almost no war crimes were investigated honestly. We went to an awful lot of trouble to hold show trials for others, though. In the end, our hands are not the least cleaner than anyone we’ve attacked in battle or in words.
America, the land of the hypocrites. There is nothing of which to be proud.
Of course, there were a lot of things we did which amount to war, but were never declared — thus, illegal by our own Constitution. Today we are engaged is several acknowledged undeclared wars, and a number of clandestine illegal wars.
Today is for me a day of sorrow, not the typical barbecue cookout, swimming, etc. It’s not simply a holiday to open summer’s activities, but a day to remember our vast ocean of national sins. Together, this day alone marks sufficient evil for God’s wrath to destroy us. A nation that has to lie and cheat on their own much ballyhooed principles to win deserves to lose. For all this and more, America will be destroyed. Let the justice of God fall down upon us, for there is blood on our hands.
Let us remember with sorrow all the innocents who died.
