Who Keeps Pushing Us To War?


Have you ever wondered why the news media covers some events and ignores others?  For weeks now, the media has been focused on the Florida school shooting and the banning of guns.  The attention of the American people has been diverted from the fact that this country is engaged in a new Cold War.  The world is facing the escalation of a nuclear Armageddon, and we are concerned about a group of high school students who have become the pawns in the game of destroying this nation from within.

The corruption of our nation extends beyond the politicians, the neocons, and progressives.  It has invaded every aspect or our society and culture.  Much of our society is based on lies and indifference to death and suffering we are causing other people.  There is no end to the blame being placed on those who will not bow to the will of the US government.  The US destroyed Iran based on lies about Weapons of Mass Destruction.   The US is trying to destroy Syria based on lies about chemical weapons, by the way, this is the same lie used to attack Saddam Hussein who used chemical weapons supplied by the US government.  The US government destroyed Libya based on lies.  The history of the US government is to destroy those who act independently of Washington’s agenda.  The US government has brought the entire country of Venezuela to their knees because they would not bow to US pressure.

Back in 2013, I wrote an Open Letter to the Christians in Syria.  In this letter I stated,  In America among both liberals and conservatives there is the thought that the Syrian government must be replaced by a Sunni Muslim leadership to improve the human rights violations of the Assad leadership. This change in government is felt necessary, regardless of the hardship and death that many innocent Christians have experienced. My government and many of its leaders are anti-Christian and view the Sunni Muslim Brotherhood as a peaceful faction of Islam.  This is evident by President Obama’s appointment of Muslim Brotherhood members to high level government positions in the United States and his support of the Brotherhood around the world.  The Syrian people should understand our president is bent on the destruction of your present government regardless of the number of innocent people who will die.  

I understood that if the Islamic radicals come to power in Syria, like in Iraq, the first ones who would suffer would be the Christians.  This was true in Iraq where 85% of the Christians were either killed or driven out of the country.  Most fled to Syria where they were protected by the Assad government.

By 2014, it was clear that conflicts on the territory of Syria were being incited by radical forces supported by the US government.  In just a short period of time, these murdering terrorists begin liquidating the Christian presence in this country. That is why the Christians actively supported Assad and his government, because in the country a precise balance of forces was secured and that is very important. Christian felt they were being protected.  Why is it that in Iraq and Syria under Muslim rule Christians existed in relative peace?  However, when the US government became involved Christians were dying daily and begin run out of their own country.

America was a country that supported Christian principles.  The American Christian’s have sent missionaries all over the world spreading the gospel.  Many Americans were proud to be called a Christians nation. So, what happened to us?

I ran across an article by Michael Bateman, How the Russian Church Influenced Putin To Save Christians in Syria. In this article, the appeal was made to do something about the destruction of the Christians community in Syria.  In 2013, the heads of the Orthodox Church met with Vladimir Putin with a request that Russia take part in the defense of the Christians in the Near East.  Because of the participation of Russia, a genocide of Christians was averted.  However, over the course of the war, the number of Christians decreased by half as almost a million believers left the country or were murdered. And now, thanks to Russian military and diplomatic support, the bells are ringing in the monasteries once again. Orthodox and Catholic Christians once again attend services in the ancient city of Maaloula.

Let me ask, what is wrong with this picture?  Should it have been the US government supporting the Christians in Syria, offering them protection, rather than Russia? 

The US government gets way with lying to the people, and the news media supports the lies by repeating them over and over again.  Where are the actual Christians? Why are we not holding our government leaders accountable for the atrocities committed all around the world under the guise of democracy?  The only protesting going on in this country is from our brainwashed school children to ban the NRA and guns.

While our attention is being diverted by the protest of children, our government is rushing us towards World War Three, and we are doing nothing to stop them.  It is time at least for the American Christians to wake-up and see that there are those who would destroy not only other nations but our own nation.  We need to open our eyes to the evil that is going on under the guise of the US government.  It is time to stand up for our Christians brothers and sisters around the world that are suffering for the cause of Christ. The souls of those who have died for their Christian faith are crying out “How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost Thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?”   If you have failed to read the next verse, you are not aware that what is happening in Syria may soon happen here in America.  The answer to the question asked by those who died for the faith is until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been. 

It is time to stop being indifferent.  We need to vote out of office those who support going to war with Russian, China, Iran, Syria, Ukraine, or any other country.  We need to get our own house in order and stop acting like we control the world or we will find ourselves in a war we cannot win.
