AMERICA“S DOUBLE STANDARD IS SCREAMING IT“S PAIN ON THE WORLD5th Fleet in Bahrain does nothing when the Saudi soldiers slaughter the Bahrain people with the blessings of BAD BOY BOBBY GATES FROM HELL AND MONSTER MAN MULLEN, nothing admiral about this. Double talk to hide the truth, calling out for execution of Julian Assange by SENATOR PETE KING HOMELAND SECURITY IS THE NAZI SS.
Bad Boy Gates from Hell created AlQueda when He was Head of CIA. So Pukin head KGB takes charge, Gates from CIA takes charge, there is no difference, although Russians more honest about being Evil. AMERICA IS DANGEROUS TO THE REST OF THE WORLD. General electric nuke leaks in Japan, Military weapons sales to mad men like Gaddafi, SO WHERE IS IT, 200 years of Bullshit from America.
America was not started by CHRISTIANS but by Masons and the lack of Transparency starts with Washington“s Secret police-service. Language like service when it is police. FOR AMERICANS WHO GREW UP IN A SCREEN CULTURE, and not outdoors, "MY WAY OR NO WAY AT ALL" especially in middle east, South America Mexico etc. The arrogance of ignorance and this feed back loop the ignorance of Arrogance, America“s endless cycle.You know when Murdoch mesmerized the American Public With "THE SIMPSONS" and popularity of Supranos, mobster shows, you the danger of Screen culture. Everything America claimed to good is a Myth, because we create more WAR than anyone, We spend more money on weapons than anyone has more prisoners than anyone. MORE TORTURE, Bush, Yes I torture, more long term solitary confinement.Bradley Manning not even charged Also poor health and a killer Medical field. Corporate dictatorship says Profits before People, Like Drug Pushers that create a addictive society to sell to. So mkt a problem that does not exist, sell them a solution that keeps them in the problem and America makes money on the false solution. America has no past and has no future! NO HUMAN RIGHTS LOOK AT BAHRAIN AND YEMEN: HUMAN RIGHTS FOR USA IS BULLSHIT; Medical experiments FOR GUATEMALA, Honduras, Africa Asia. So everything He says is good is NOT SO! AMERICA THE UGLY DEATH TO AMERICA IS THE NUMBER ONE SONG ALL OVER THE WORLD; EVERYONE HATES AMERICA; INCLUDING HONEST AMERICANS! This talk is a waste of honest time, yes I wasted my TIME HERE! He is lucky I“m not there for questions, the False Flag Viet NAM a million dead people on a blatant lie.
