Some of these powerful people can be seen posturing and
preening on the world stage. Others are now retired and drawing big fat
pensions courtesy of taxpayers. Some are multi- millionaires and travelling
around the world on speaking engagements, others have written books. Life is
good for them. Meanwhile, the countries they invaded and helped destroy are
hellholes of the earth and life is a horror story for those still alive. Civil
wars now rage in the countries that once were reasonably peaceful, before the
“liberators” arrived. Then the regime change criminals [1] went into action and hell on earth is the 21st
century’s “gift” to humanity by the war criminals in our midst.
These 21st Century powerful war criminals are responsible
for millions of people dead. Millions of refugees, soldiers dead and maimed,
countries destroyed, children contaminated, and these War Criminals are FREE. [2]
Free to continue their massive depredations when in reality
they should be arrested and put on trial for plotting crimes against the
countries now destroyed by their evil machinations. This could be called: “The
crimes of the powerful and the plight of the powerless.” [3]
Will the powerless eventually realize that they are being
used and abused by the powerful? Will some people start objecting to being used
to fight wars that are illegal and criminal? Some veterans are speaking out and discarding “their war medals.”
“Veteran Daniel
Lenham, who served in the RAF from 2002 to 2014, referred to his medal as a
‘worthless trinket’.”
“He said: ‘I'm here
today to show my utter contempt and disgust at the Government's decision to,
once again, attack in the Middle East.’”
“Mr Lenham said there
was no better way of doing that than to hand back the ‘tokens of militarism’.”

“Ben Griffin, a
former soldier from VFP, said, ‘I think it is ridiculous that they voted for
[air strikes in Syria].
We fought in Afghanistan, we
fought in Iraq and in Libya, and it
didn't solve a thing, it made things worse. It is highly disappointing, having
gone through these wars, to see MPs voting for more war. War is not the
solution to this problem. More bombs in Syria isn't going to solve this. We
are completely disgusted by those MPs.’" [5] Ib. Times, article by James
Lillywhite, December 8, 2015.
I say well done to these veterans for courageously speaking
out. I believe it is time the elites and the powerful were held to account. I
believe for too long they have been getting away with murder, as the saying
goes. As have the profiteers of all this bloody carnage, bombings, bombardments
and destruction around the world. Therefore I ask: “Will there ever be a day of
reckoning”? [6]
Because:
“They hide from all
the violence they started
They caused the
deaths of many of the departed
They should be on
trial for many war crimes
They should be in
prison cells doing hard time”...
