Public grief over deaths of 5 Australian soldiers is an occasion for propaganda
5 Australian soldiers killed and the media/government oligarchy are engaging in a paroxysm of fake grief - really just a form of propaganda.
Obama kills dozens of innocents in drone attacks every week and the media doesn't give a rat's backside.
They talk about "rogue attacks" as if this is some aberration which has no rational explanation, when in fact this is only to be expected since we invaded and occupied a sovereign nation. The current Afhhanistan government is a puppet regime, propped up by a combination of military force and copious amounts of money. It will fall in the end, like all imperial puppet governments have in the past.
A time may come when we are invaded and occupied - if the US empire retreats from our shores and we are left all alone as a western nation at the bottom end of Asia.
I wonder how much mercy we will get from our conquerors then?


Comments
Our hearts are with the families, colleagues and friends of these 5 of Australians best young men and all the others who have lost their lives in this illegal war. They have more courage and respect than all those in the houses of parliament that sent them to their fate.
Please consider this-
Interesting Proposal
Instead of a government war declaration, require a public referendum where only those eligible to serve in combat may vote and those who vote “Yes” are immediately drafted.
War is always, repeat always, started and waged by deception.
“The more individuals capable of watching the world theater calmly and critically, the less danger of monumental mass stupidities—first of all, wars.“Hermann Hesse: Author (1877—1962)
This of course is very idealistic when we are lied to and forbidden to be critical, under treat of incarceration.

What are you talking about Hereward? We already ARE occupied just like most European societies are. There is a deliberate plot to only make white European countries multicultural (I prefer multiracial, because people in the mainstream media put a spin on even what that word means.)
