Genocide being committed in Yemen

Recommended Posts

I have become increasingly alarmed by the genocide being committed in Yemen that our own government are complicit in. and it seems like our media don't want to even report about it any more, yeah you may see the odd clip here and there, but there is nothing like the wall to wall coverage of the dilemma in Venezuela, and the suffering is a thousand times worse..

We have literally millions of people being displaced and starving to death and our government have a hand in it, the people who are dying in this atrocity have not been caught up in it, they have been deliberately target through the use of destroying food warehouses and water treatment plants,

Does anyone else feel ashamed of our evil involvement in the act?

this is a great 16 minute video detailing what is happening in Yemen if you really dont know what its all about

There's just no words for this. What a sad state of affairs. Is there any government on earth that isn't slimy and corrupt in one way or another? 

God bless these poor people xx

its amazing isn't it,

But what is more amazing is that the people are who are fooled by the media hate against Maduro, are quick to voice their opinion against Venezuela , but show them real hurt and suffering that the media doesn't report, then there is a deafening silence...

The media in this country has a lot to answer for

Most people see it as just another war in the middle east to be honest, it's not something new.

 

Unfortunately after the sheer brutality of IS nothing really shocks people anymore.

The media are the key to almost all  subjects and  posts on this site...they FRAME the picture, the PRESENT a particular picture and its their picture that most people  see and understand, which is then filtered further through personal  bias, prejudices that form what becomes an acceptable OPINION. 

 

Most governments in the developed world are subjects to the demands of their OVERLORD foreign policy and global objectives, the USA.  We are not a poodle, but  lap dog, easily salivating when there is blood or rather profit, in either social standing or personal benefits.  TONY BLAIR  is an obvious outstanding example of this, having little discretion and values that can be bought for a price.  Most politicians are rather more discrete, using the mass media to divert attention from what is actually going on for people in this country through distractions, where half truths and selective truths are fed the people. 

 

The wonder of TRUMP is that for the first time one can see bullying, threats, and promises free of the usual covert manipulated propaganda.  He threatens war, he threatens sanctions, hunger, misery, bombs and in general tries to follow through with actions.  Sadly he himself is chained, and his balls have a knife ready to remove them, so he is restricted in what he wants to do, and has to comply with what is called the deep state, whose agenda is the ever expanding US global empire building.

 

So the USA  and the UK make a fortune from destroying YEMEN as we feed the Saudi ego and they in turn pay billions a year to more or less do what they like, but not yet allowed to develop nuclear weapons, but they are pushing hard.   

 

So when the PM’s husband is also making  fortune from the wars in countries that refuse o accept the US jackboot, and the Conservative party funding from corporate interests in this area, the views and opinions of outraged people have to be silenced.  So the subject is conveniently sidelined by the mass media who after all are the mouthpiece to these powerful influences.

 

So what have most people to go on, little news, the facts are skewed and limited, which are all designed to make people thinka nd do what theya re meant to think and do.....which is nothing!     We are one of the best contitioned populations, who's  trust if ofter found to be misplaced, and thus allow thanks to our class system to think our betters know best, adn leave it at that.   We are good citizens, and after the atrocities we have contributed to in Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan and  Syria recently allow the people responsible to pursue ther careers and make lots of money, when had they beed from an African Country and done half as much carnage would be in prison for life.    We thus prove the the wporld we are superior and  thus it is natural out values are better,used at judging others.
