The Psychology of a culture is revealed and perpetuated in how they relate to and treat their children and in how they relate to and treat the most vulnerable people within their society. Heal that and we can heal everything.
Ordinary people, people like you and I, and especially the low income workers, who make most of the real wealth in this world, through daily toil: every hour of our lives is equally precious. And yet the largest proportion of the wealth we generate is extracted and accumulated and used as a tool to dominate us. The poor are a permanent externalised cost of that extraction process. I think of that as a fundamental and abominable insult to the very gift of life itself.
“How can wealth persuade poverty to use its political freedom to keep wealth in power? Here lies the whole art of Conservative politics in the 20th century."― Aneurin Bevan
The story of how life moved from bacteria to plants, to animals, to forests and plains full of living creatures, all the way to people singing songs, laughing with children as we play and learn together, crying when we hurt, seeing, tasting, hearing, running and sleeping to awaken again, and everything else that emerges from being alive and human and loving and sensitive. How lovely it is to be a warm friendly, loving sensitive humane being! No machine, no invention can ever match that!
Humour me, and stop right now - gaze at your hand, close it as you take a gentle breath in and as you exhale feel your hand and fingers, breathe into your hand and fingers. Do this again, and close your eyes, and then move, move your fingers gently, and feel how utterly strangely wonderful this ability to use a hand really is. Then grip something tightly, with all your strength and relax to hold it ever so gently, finding your lightest touch possible. Such a range of capability, such potential for finesse.
Isn't it amazing?
I do this and I think of the millions of years of evolution that went it to making this possible and I am filled with awe and gratitude. I am excited by this thought, this feeling. I think I did nothing to make this possible. How did I, this consciousness, arrive with this incredible set of capabilities? How lucky am I to be so gifted? Are we not truly blessed?
I am more often than not quietly in awe and gratitude for being alive, even though some days I am deeply depressed, or insanely angry, or confused or frightened, or just meh! A toothache is horrible and there are many other pains that are harder to bear, that take the delight out of the moment.
Justice is rooted in sensitivity
Nonetheless, I know that this thing of being alive is oh so precious, for me and for you and for every baby born, for every person who lives, every being that lives - and this, this feeling is why I detest the bully cult so much - how dare they (whoever they are) intrude upon that feeling, impinge on that sensitive life in others, and disturb it, taint it, trample all over it for their power, wealth and pomp. How dare they! That is the seat of my feeling of injustice, at it's most visceral. Before words, the feeling. Babies know this. Infants and toddlers know this. All young children know this. Innate.
The symptoms of chronic trauma are not a disorder.
People who cause trauma, who deliberately expose others to avoidable harms, are a disorder. People who expose others to chronic stress in order to accumulate wealth and power are a disorder.
Social systems that deny these simple truths are disordered. The symptoms presenting in people who have been harmed are not a disorder. They are symptoms, understandable symptoms.
George Bush and Tony Blair are disordered. As leaders or presenters or spokespersons of the institutions of competing militarised powers, they are a disorder. They are a dysfunctional psychology in action.
If they were indicted and put on trial, that would probably go a long way to helping all those harmed by their actions come to better terms with their lived experience, especially if the outcome was to prevent future wars. Most survivors do not want what happened to them to happen to anyone else, ever.
And for me it's not about punishing Blair and Bush et al. although I understand that drive, to hit back, to see that the person who has harmed shares the pain in some way - for me it primarily is about preventing future harms by showing that we, the grass roots, are willing to intervene and forcibly impede those who would initiate and prosecute war or harm causation. Holding them to account and putting them in prison is a matter of health and safety more than it is a matter of punishment. A warning. Don't you dare even think about initiating such action!
It is also true that to indict Bush and Blair is, for so many people, already too late. The vast harm they and those institutions they were embedded has caused is already done, and cannot be undone. Millions are suffering, un-necessarily. Their precious lives have been trampled upon and desecrated. How do we face that? What do we need to do to ease all that suffering?
The past is finished, the future is always unfinished.
How we move in the present matters because here is where we determine the potential of the future. That we recognise what happened in the past and confront it matters in the present because it must be done in the present, it cannot be put off until tomorrow, or the day after, or next week, next month. It must be done in the present.
Part of the difficulty is a general sense of fatalism. Part of the difficulty is that few, if any, will acknowledge that we live within a violent hierarchy cult that has caused millennia of harm, that is causing immense harm today, that appears to be on a trajectory of more harm into the future, we are led to believe by it's size and ubiquity that it is indeed inevitable, there's a deterministic attitude associated with how this history is regarded, how it is understood. Understandable, from the individual perspective. How can I an impotent single human do anything about this?
In spite of all that it does not have to be this way, at all. It is this way, yet it does not have to be, into the future. The future is unfinished. There are more of the decent folk than there are bullies and barbarians. With solidarity the odds are in our favour.
Who pays the price?
1. Externalised costs means that ALL accumulated wealth from industrial culture is toxic, without exception. In war, who pays the price?
3. Governance of the shared commons implies duty of care which in turn demands an evidence based approach to all activity and policy that affects the shared commons.
Any activist that is not integrating these three elements is failing to address reality as it really is.
Poverty is a weapon system.
It’s an open secret that a lot of people in work mostly think poor people are poor because they are inferior. This is a core component of Industrial Social Conditioning.
"The Poor Will Always Be With Us."
That is a lie upon which concentrated wealth and power is founded.
It is also built into every hierarchy religion, it is a lie built into mainstream psychiatry, mainstream psychology and mainstream marketing. The only reason 'the poor will always be with us' is because the system mandates that poverty must be maintained as a whip that is used to keep workers working for industries that cause harm as they operate to accumulate wealth and power into the hands of a hegemonic class, the Ruling Class.
And for those of us who are poor we are made to feel a cloud of shame while the others are destroying the environment and looking down on us.
So the problem is clearly laid out.
Life is utterly amazing and precious, bullies undermine that at every turn, it doesn't have to be this way.
We understand it and thus the next question is how do we resolve the problem?
The only way for the English people, the adults in the country, to start to repair the damage of the past 20 years (and more) of war mongering by the English Establishment, the Ruling Class who direct these wars, is to indict Blair and to indict all those who prosecuted the War of Aggression against Iraq.
The lies about WMD and the grooming promise of Democracy vs the solemn oath that British Combat Troops make, which was exploited at their expense.
“How can wealth persuade poverty to use its political freedom to keep wealth in power? Here lies the whole art of Conservative politics in the 20th century.” Aneurin Bevan
We need to be ruthlessly politically ethical and honest about all that flowed from that.
Ordinary people, people like you and I, and especially the low income workers, who make most of the real wealth in this world, through daily toil: every hour of our lives is equally precious. And yet the largest proportion of the wealth we generate is extracted and accumulated and used as a tool to dominate us. The poor are a permanent externalised cost of that extraction process. I think of that as a fundamental and abominable insult to the very gift of life itself.
And yes, I know. I know. That's not going to happen any time soon. The Establishment will oppose and resist that, of course they will. Criminals do not voluntarily walk into the dock. That does not change the facts - the resolution of the problem remains the same. Indict our own war criminals if we want to encourage world peace. Lead by example.
If we want Peace, then we must at least prevent war. Chucking a few war criminals into jail would be a good move in that direction. 'Just saying!'
Look at him: he is guilty, he is culpable and responsible for so much avoidable harm and he knows it. We all know it. He's not the only one. They all need to be held to account, and we all need to understand how we let this happen, collectively. How do we become so politically weak that we cannot impede our government when they are about to commit the worst possible crimes a state can commit? What does this say about the health of our polity?
"Sitting in the dock at The Hague"?
Some day, it must happen.
Peace is more than the absence of war.
How better to help the people of Afghanistan than to indict Blair, to own up to the awful crime that the English State perpetrated upon the Afghani people and to make appropriate reparations to the Afghani people for the damage our political class have inflicted upon them?
It is also, given the days we are living in, absolutely critical to understand that there is no way to generate the international co-operation necessary to meet the challenges of Climate, Environment, Racism, Misogyny and Poverty without confronting war making and bringing it to an end. That means we must account for the harms caused and make it very, very clear that we will prevent further abuses of that nature into the future. It means we must demonstrate the ability to wage justice as a co-operative action.
This task will not be taken up by the Ruling Class who see war as a political utility and a cash cow - it must be us, you and I, and our neighbours, our brothers and sisters across the Earth.
Peace is more than the absence of war
It must be us, the people who are always caught in the crossfire, who always pay the price who extract the price of accountability from the abusers.
It must be us, the people working together as a humane polity, who unite in solidarity for our children, for their children and for all their futures as much as we would do it for our own present.
It must be us who take the democratic legislatures and our judiciaries back from the oligarchy and it must be us who set those institutions and the various arms of the State to serve our people's needs - to build peace, to establish stability, to start the repair of the damage done and to alter our systems of production and consumption systems so that they facilitate the prevention of further harm, be it preventing war or adapting to climate change, cleaning up pollution, repairing degraded environments, enriching our soils, cleaning our rivers, abolishing poverty and destitution and caring for all our vulnerable people as their needs dictate.
Peace is more than the absence of war
The prevailing profit system is built on deceit and externalised costs. WMD lies, and the costs born by the civilians whose cities, towns and villages have been made into combat zones. They did not invite the war, it came to them, unbidden. They paid the price. The cost in horrific deaths, disgusting maimings, devastating displacement, mass trauma and deep psychological distress is beyond all measure - the externalised costs associated with the profits of war supply logistic industrial production and consumption.
The War Against Terror shovelled vast wealth into the hands of a minority, who dominate our polities, and who continue to accrue wealth and power at our expense. Obviously they do not want us to hold them to account.
Peace is more than the absence of war
Enough already!
We all understand the grasp the oligarchy and the powerful have on the news media, on the current economic settings, on our democracies, our institutions and our public spaces. They mean business, and their business is mean, the inhumane desire to grasp power and exclude us from sharing it to improve all our lives. At times their ubiquity, size and aggressive resistance to healthy change suggests a fatalistic appraisal - they are too big to challenge, they have been around for too long, we cannot change them. All of this is true.
We cannot change them. They will not volunteer to change. We can, however, disempower them. That we certainly can do when we work together, and they know this - that is why they devote so much energy to division within our grass roots population. The future is always unfinished. Fatalism about the future is an error of judgement, and a logical fallacy.
And that is precisely why we must work ahead, and work together, from an evidence base. We must take up the work of confronting this situation in spite of their degree of control and influence, we must press ahead without their co-operation.
I think that to do that we must better understand the dark arts of political grooming, economic sabotage, political corruption and manipulation as they present at every level, from the personal to the institutional.
Neoliberals, bullies, authoritarians and dictatorships rely upon fatalism and logical fallacy narratives as psychological weapons that dissuade an oppressed and exhausted yet potentially active population from taking the necessary steps to build social and political solidarity.
Peace is more than the absence of war
We must erase that fatalism with the awareness that our unfinished futures are indeed opportunities, that we can change the situation by our collective efforts precisely because the future is unfinished. Nothing is set in stone, other than stone itself and even stone is weathered to become sand and soil.
The power of the oligarchy, their normalisation of war, their ubiquitous wealth and their interference in our democracies are not inevitable, immutable, immovable. That power is not carved from the rock. That power is not mountains high nor is it oceans deep. That power is human artifice. That power is temporary. That power is not eternal. The power structures do not define the human species and they do not illustrate the human condition, even though they do mark out this cult that claims to be a culture.
Peace is more than the absence of war
We can set them aside. We must. That is our vocation as humane beings, as parents to the next generation, this is our true vocation as neighbours, as friends and family and as a species. To craft a peaceful civilisation worthy of the gift of life.
The future for all our children is way, way, way bigger than the ruling class and the old, sordid bully cult.
It is for the citizens of each and every state to do this work within their own polities, as the first step.
Clean our houses, put them in order. We started to discuss this within England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, with diligence, hope and seriousness back in 2006, within The Power Inquiry.
"After eighteen months of investigation, the final report of The Power Inquiry is a devastating critique of the state of formal democracy in Britain. Many of us actively support campaigns such as Greenpeace or the Countryside Alliance. And millions more take part in charity or community work. But political parties and elections have been a growing turn-off for years.
The cause is not apathy. The problem is that we don't feel we have real influence over the decisions made in our name. The need for a solution is urgent. And that solution is radical. Nothing less than a major programme of reform to give power back to the people of Britain..."
Those who claim 'deterrent' argue based on belief (might is right, we need big bullies to protect us all), myopia (unwilling to look at egalitarian solutions), greed (lust for power is hungry for cash, your cash) and learned stupidity (propaganda regurgitated, wrapped in flags).
USA had them first, used them first. A demonstration.
Who then needed a 'deterrent'?
It was not USA or UK.
Has Nukes stopped either of these Imperial Powers from waging war these past 77 years...?
Is the US/UK waging a proxy war in Yemen, in Ukraine, in the China Sea, in Venezuela, in Sudan, Chad, Libya, Iraq, Iran, Syria and elsewhere?
Yes. they are. Liars and bullies.
Putin and all militarised states alike.
Liars and bullies, weak and immature adults, whose need to leverage power is an addiction that threatens all our lives, our shared environment.
A shadow burned on to a wall at Hiroshima? An unexpected instant intense flash of light as death over a wholly innocent, unprotected population
#NewNormal #Hiroshima
#Nagasaki #AcceptNewNormalAlwaysChanges
76 years ago, the political establishment of one country with Imperial ambitions dropped two Nuclear Bombs, weapons of mass destruction, upon masses of entirely innocent people, entire families and communities incinerated, cremated in an instant. That flash of scientific and imperial brilliance, brightest hell on earth, that short instant of annihilation was followed by many, many, many more agonising deaths from radiation, from burns, from gangrenous wounds, from lack of medical supplies and facilities, from lack of clean water in the minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years that followed. Radiation and illness maimed and killed many more of those innocents, the after effects lingering for decades afterwards.
That was 14 years before I was born, and I grew up in the 'safety' of the shadow of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, in Ireland, many thousands of miles distant. I had nightmares about nuclear war as a child, a teen and as a young adult.
Psychological dysfunction and structural cruelty.
In my view, as a psychologically sophisticated adult, as a survivor of chronic child abuse, as a global citizen and as a humane being with some degree of empathy still intact, I assert that Nuclear Weapons are a for-profit psychopathology - the Nuclear Weapon Industry is a waste of precious resources that is both institutionally cruel and socially insane, inhumane and irrational. The profits of doom.
The people who build and maintain the Nuclear Weapons Stance are cruel, callous nut jobs. I make no apologies for stating this. It is what it is. Crazy, insane, unbalanced, psychologically damaged and emotional empty. Abusive. They might well be charming, and kind to their own children. They may be pet lovers, and they could be donating to charitable causes and appear to be 'normal' - but they are not healthy, humane people. They are literally criminally insane.
There is absolutely no need whatsoever for these kinds of weapons or technologies. No need at all.
Every argument for them falls apart when we assess the externalised costs associated with them and suggest those costs be paid in full, or better still, prevented from ever being incurred in the first instance. Oops. there goes the profit margin! A flash of insight to prevent a flash of utter, criminal horror.
Those who insist otherwise are in deliberate denial, they are immature and they are stupidly, wilfully ignorant. Just sayin'.
Abolishing Nukes and Abolishing Poverty is a Win-Win Outcome.
England's population - that's you and I, and everyone else living in England, we need to get rid of the Trident system, and we need to put that cash to good use, for example by abolishing poverty in England. Fact.
I am talking real needs here, not a luxury wish-list.
Poverty kills people, poverty destroys lives and communities and poverty is a structure of capitalism, communism and all hierarchy of wealth and power cults. Poverty it is not a personal flaw to be whipped into shape by extremely wealthy bullies - I am talking about Austerity, prosperity Gospel and the full range of Calvinist ideologies.
The Global Mafiosa
76 years ago the Rulers of the United States Of America made a political decision to 'demonstrate' the power of their new weapon, as a way to bully the rest of the Earths nation states, and their peoples. They knew what they were doing. Empires always understand what they are doing, even if entire populations do not, or worse, pretend not to understand.
The Rulers of The United States of America deliberately destroyed two civilian cities, obliterating hundreds of thousands of wholly innocent people in an instant, leaving many more with devastating wounds and lifelong injuries. Some say they also wanted to 'test' the weapons on real city. They already knew what it would probably do, as they had already tested the weapon, and knew the detail of it's explosive power. This was not a trial run, by any means.
It was a political and very public demonstration.
"Nice city you got there. Be a pity if something like this was to happen to it!"
The post office savings bank in Hiroshima is bleached with nuclear shadows from the window frames made by the flash of the detonation.
"Meanwhile, because ground zero happened to be above a hospital, many of the city's doctors and nurses were killed or injured in the blast. The city was thrown into chaos as those still alive scrambled to create makeshift hospitals to aid the wounded.
Because the residents had been given an all-clear after the earlier air-raid warning, many were outside when the bomb detonated. More than 50 percent of the casualties died from burns while many others who did not succumb to the initial blast or the fires in the immediate Hiroshima aftermath later died of radiation exposure. Survivors recalled near-lifeless, scorched bodies wandering the streets for a few seconds before they fell to the ground and died.
As the weeks progressed, citizens began to feel the effects of radiation poisoning and a misinformed public believed this condition to be contagious. As a result, those who were suffering with radiation poisoning were ostracized from their communities.
The United States had little aid to offer. Scientists on the Manhattan Project, which created the atomic bombs, claimed to know little about the biological effects of nuclear fallout.
Even the deputy medical director at one of the project's laborites admitted that, "The idea was to explode the damned thing... We weren't terribly concerned with the radiation."
Tsutomu Yamaguchi was 29 when he was blown to the ground by the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
Three days later, after making the agonising journey home to Nagasaki, and with bandages still clinging to his badly burned skin, Tsutomu felt the shattering boom of another atomic bomb.
He was one of a number of Survivors who have become international icons. His harrowing witness testimony, with others who lived through those horrors, make for sobering reading.
"Elizabeth Chappell, an oral historian at the Open University in the United Kingdom, encountered similar difficulties after setting out to catalog atomic bomb survivors’ testimony. “When you have a silenced group like that, they have a very internal culture,” she explains. “They’re very protective of their stories. I was told I wouldn’t get interviews.” Survivors’ reluctance to discuss their experiences stems in large part from the stigma surrounding Japan’s hibakusha community. Due to a limited understanding of radiation poisoning’s long-term effects, many Japanese avoided (or outright abused) those affected out of fear that their ailments were contagious.
This misconception, coupled with a widespread unwillingness to revisit the bombings and Japan’s subsequent surrender, led most hibakusha to keep their trauma to themselves. But in the past decade or so, documentary efforts like Sakaguchi’s 1945 Project and Chappell’s The Last Survivors of Hiroshima have become increasingly common—a testament to both survivors’ willingness to defy the long-standing culture of silence and the pressing need to preserve these stories as hibakusha’s numbers dwindle."
Silence is not truth, comedy is not satire.
The BBC created a controversy when it's flagship comedy quiz program did a segment in 2011 on Mr. Yamaguchi as 'the unluckiest men alive'. The BBC apologised after it ignited adverse commentary online and across Japan.
The episode triggered criticism in Japan. Toshiko Yamasaki, Yamaguchi's daughter, appeared on NHK's national evening news and said: "I cannot forgive the atomic bomb experience being laughed at in Britain, which has nuclear weapons of its own. I think this shows that the horror of atomic bomb is not well enough understood in the world. I feel sad rather than angry"
The Japanese Embassy, London, wrote to the BBC protesting that the programme insulted the deceased victims of the atomic bomb. It was reported that Piers Fletcher, a producer of the programme, responded to complaints with "we greatly regret it when we cause offence" and "it is apparent to me that I underestimated the potential sensitivity of this issue to Japanese viewers"
So it is that in England which has not suffered the impacts of invasion and multiple wars on it's own soil, even as it continues to export war, by way of materials, logistics and man-power, that a deliberate denial of the realities of nuclear weapons, persists at the public institutional level - the establishment dares not acknowledge what most ordinary folk know. Nuclear Weapons are a reliable marker of insanity amongst the Ruling class.
This England where in recent years Jeremy Corbyn, who totally opposes Nuclear Weapons, is slandered as an 'anti-Semite' when he correctly criticises Israeli State illegal occupation, settlement and militarised violence perpetrated against the Palestinian people as amoral and criminal, the systemic institutional denial and deliberately fostered ignorance is blatant. This England where 14 million people endure structural poverty, and millions rely upon food banks. This England ready to spaff tens of billions of pounds on these useless weapons, rather than abolish poverty.
Estimates of total deaths in Hiroshima range from 100,000 to 180,000, out of a population of 350,000. Casualties from Nagasaki are thought to be between 50,000 and 100,000. By 1950, over 340,000 people had died as a result and generations were poisoned by radiation. The bombing event was just the beginning.
Hierarchy of Violence is the basis of all Bully Cult logic.
"We have the Weapons of Mass Destruction, and we will protect you and your freedom, (from us. lol.). Sign up here, and sell your soul for democracy and freedom."
The political rulers made all arrangements needed to immediately censor news of what those two vaporised cities looked like, they screened out images and stories of the living dead, they deliberately masked the full import and scale of the human atrocity of what they did, because they knew ordinary people would be utterly disgusted, revolted, appalled and horrified if they knew the full story.
Ordinary people who would understand the nature of both the weapons, and their leaders had to prevent them from reaching that conclusion. Evil to the core.
Enemies of The People
"The results of this live test experiment must remain a secret, except for those who need to know, and those we want to frighten. But we must not frighten out own people. They must be frightened of our designated enemies."
That was a very well understood stance, understood by those other states whom the US and UK had already designated as 'Enemies'
It was the callous decision to murder two cities full of defenceless souls, men, women and children, as a bloody demonstration, a militaristic anti-science cock waving of monstrous proportions by the new top bullies, that drove those designated 'enemy' states who had been temporary allies just the day before the bombs were detonated over those cities, to seek to build their own nuclear weapons as a deterrent to the US/UK Hierarchy of Violence.
However in 1946 one writer and his publisher decided to break the taboo and tell it like it really was.
Hiroshima is a 1946 book by American author John Hersey. It tells the stories of six survivors of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. It is regarded as one of the earliest examples of the New Journalism, in which the story-telling techniques of fiction are adapted to non-fiction reporting.
"The work was originally published in The New Yorker, which had planned to run it over four issues but instead dedicated the entire edition of August 31, 1946, to a single article. Less than two months later, the article was printed as a book by Alfred A. Knopf. Never out of print, it has sold more than three million copies.
"Its story became a part of our ceaseless thinking about world wars and nuclear holocaust," New Yorker essayist Roger Angell wrote in 1995"
We still need to think about this, to feel it's full meaning.
Stop Worrying, Love The Bomb?
So when the US/UK Governments and various deluded pundits cite 'deterrence' as a reason for their possession of these rain of death from the sky weapon systems, know that they are lying through their teeth, as they smile and carry off the pretence of 'protecting your freedoms'.
This video timeline of every nuclear detonation between 1945 and 1998 - all 'tests' or 'demonstrations' including Hiroshima and Nagasaki - is quite an eye opener. A significant waste of money, brains and time, sold to the citizens as a 'necessity' to 'preserve peace'? Gaslighting on a global scale.
A total waste of money, brains and time.
A global gaslighting operation, an industrial abuse complex and a defining characteristic of the Industrial Militarised Competing Powers Cult.
This defines the cult, it does NOT define Humanity. The Human species is largely decent, it is the culture that is the problem. Externalised Costs are a behavioural characteristic of the bully culture.
On a more entertaining tip, I humbly suggest folk watch that highly engaging 1964 movie, "Dr. Strangelove : How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love The Bomb." It features Peter Sellers in a dual role as mad man and not so mad man, trying to cope with it all. It is a superb film, a satirical masterpiece. Here's the Wikiquotes page.
Then the greed of the nuclear industrialists took over and they corrupted Governments in order to pursue their for profit expansion under the veil of civilian nuclear power' siphoning trillions of dollars of people's cash for the profits of the bullies over many decades.
The decades of nuclear 'testing' that followed pour more money into the Nuclear cabals back pockets, and pollution into our shared environment.
Depleted Uranium?
Here's a song I wrote inspired by Brian Haw, whose reason for placing himself, in a tent, with signage and photographic imagery of some of the deformed babies of Iraq, outside the English Parliament starting in Spring 2000, until January 2011, when he was diagnosed with cancer, (from which he died in June that year) was because he understood the impacts upon the Iraqi people of the 10 years of use of Depleted Uranium Munitions during US and UK bombing missions over Iraq, since1991, during the Gulf War and throughout the Sanction and No-fly Zone period right up to the second invasion of Iraq in 2003, and beyond and in particular, the adverse impact upon their children, the suffering and trauma of the mothers of thousands of terribly deformed babies whose deformities were a direct effect of those depleted uranium munitions.
The Bully Cult
And last, but not least, here's a live take of my song about having had enough already of the justifications for the Bully Cult. It's titled "We Have Had Enough!"
