US funded Insurgencies

Causing a six year civil war, and hundreds and thousands of civilian casualties, all in the name of democracy and democratic values.

It’s what citizens deserve….

This is the democratic dream.

The Trump dream

Sure you can moan, but why not turn up to vote? Why did these candidates make it in? How?

Syrians are still dying. People are dying in all of these countries all in the name of the US funded democratic dream.

All right for Peter, bad for Paul

In Western countries, we comply with the democratic dream, when it suits us…. but secretly, as Tony Blair suggests ‘mobilizing and organise[sic]‘ against it, when the results don’t turn out as we wish.

Killing and maiming in the name of something you’re mobilizing and organising against?

….The death-knell has been sounded…
