Mercedes unveils its first-ever pickup truck

See the very surprising new vehicle Mercedes just announced

 

Mercedes is making its first-ever pickup truck

Mercedes-Benz plans to release its first-ever pickup as it seeks to broaden its range of luxury cars, parent company Daimler AG announced Friday.
The yet-unnamed vehicle is expected to be out by the end of the decade, with initial sales focused on Europe, Latin America, Australia and South America, Daimler says.
“The Mercedes-Benz pickup will contribute nicely to our global growth targets,” Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche said in a statement. “We will enter this segment with our distinctive brand identity and all of the vehicle attributes that are typical of the brand with regard to safety, comfort, powertrains, and value.”
Mercedes’ pickup announcement comes as sales of midsize trucks are growing worldwide, the Wall Street Journal notes:

Global sales of such midsize trucks were 2.34 million vehicles last year, according to IHSAutomotive, a research group. The market is growing, but it isn’t booming. Sales are expected to rise to 2.83 million by 2020, says IHS.

Daimler said last month it expects strong future growth with heightening demand in China and the U.S. The company said operating earnings are slated to rise by over 10% in 2015 and sales by 5%. The company’s fourth quarter profits were up 10% year-over-year, reaching €2.82 billion, or $3.23 billion.

Hundreds of thousands of protesters are gathering in Germany ahead of tomorrow's G8 meeting of the world's richest nations. The three-day summit is being held in the coastal resort of Heiligendamm. German police have spent $18 million dollars to erect an eight-mile-long, two-meter-high fence around the meeting site. Global warming will be high on the agenda. Going into the meeting, President Bush has proposed to sideline the UN-backed Kyoto Accords and set voluntary targets on reducing emissions of greenhouse gas. Other top issues will include foreign aid and new trade deals.

Today, we spend the hour with a man who claims to have worked deep inside the forces driving corporate globalization. In his first book, "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man", John Perkins told the story of his work as a highly paid consultant hired to strong-arm leaders into creating policy favorable to the U.S. government and corporations — what he calls the "corporatocracy." Perkins says he helped the U.S. cheat poor countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars by lending them more money than they could possibly repay and then taking over their economies.

John Perkins has just come out with a new book. It's called "The Secret History of the American Empire: Economic Hit Men, Jackals, and the Truth about Global Corruption." John Perkins joins me now in the firehouse studio. John Perkins, From 1971 to 1981 he worked for the international consulting firm of Chas T. Main where he was a self-described "economic hit man." He is the author of the new book "The Secret History of the American Empire."

Russia’s return to Nicaragua worrying many in Central America

MANAGUA, Nicaragua — Russia is rekindling its once-strong ties to Nicaragua, possibly including providing the Central American nation with jet fighters, stoking unease as far away as the Andes in South America.

Later this week, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov will arrive in Nicaragua as part of a swing through four Latin American nations, the culmination to a series of high-level Russian visits to this Central American nation in the past year. Last month, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu paid a two-day visit, and in January the head of Russia’s upper house of Parliament arrived. Russian leader Vladimir Putin visited in June.

The rumored provision of the Russian jet fighters to Nicaragua has spawned fears of an arms race in Central America and once again made Nicaragua a bit player in the geopolitical to-and-fro between Washington and Moscow.

The chief spokesman for the Sandinista Front on international matters, National Assembly Deputy Jacinto Suárez, defended the possible acquisition of the fighter planes on Thursday and said Nicaragua’s relations with Russia have taken “a qualitative leap.”

“Everyone has the right to defend their national sovereignty. Why should anyone feel threatened by this?” Suárez said at a news conference, declining to confirm whether Nicaragua would obtain the aircraft and adding that they might come as a donation rather than a purchase.

The former Soviet Union was a patron of the Sandinista Front when it toppled a U.S.-backed dictatorship in 1979 and remained in power until 1990. During that period, Moscow provided Antonov AN-26 and AN-32 light transport aircraft and Mi-8 and Mi-24 helicopters.

Former Sandinista President Daniel Ortega won elections and returned to power in 2007. He was re-elected in 2011. While strongly anti-U.S. in his political rhetoric, aimed at his domestic and regional supporters, Ortega has been pragmatic on matters key to Washington, such as immigration and counter-drug efforts.

Word of the possible acquisition of the jet fighters came Feb. 10 when Adolfo Zepeda Martínez, the Nicaraguan army’s inspector general, acknowledged that the nation had “taken a few steps to obtain interceptor fighters” to catch drug flights. He described the fighters as “completely defensive, not attack aircraft.”

Zepeda didn’t mention the type of jet fighter, but both Nicaraguan and Russian media reported it might be the MiG-29 aircraft, a fighter developed in the 1970s and worth about $29 million each.

Nicaragua’s neighbors recoiled.

“One doesn’t combat drug trafficking with that kind of heavy military equipment for fighting wars,” Costa Rican Foreign Minister Manuel González said in late February after bringing up the matter with Secretary of State John Kerry.

A former armed forces commander in Honduras, Romeo Vásquez Velásquez, told media there that Nicaragua’s possible acquisition would create “an imbalance for the region.”

Colombia has been more muted, but its air force contains aged C-7 Kfir fighters from Israel and Cessna A-37 Dragonfly light strike jets, neither of which are a match for the MiG-29s. Colombia maintains a dispute with Nicaragua over maritime territory, following a 2012 ruling by the International Court of Justice in The Hague that expanded Nicaragua’s sea boundaries to the detriment of Colombia.

Following the breakup of the Soviet Union, relations between Nicaragua and Russia cooled. But in 2008, when Russia sponsored the breakaway provinces of Abkhazia and South Ossetia after an armed conflict with Georgia, Nicaragua became one of only four countries to recognize the two rump states.

Some analysts see the dust-up over the jet fighters as part of a global chess game between the United States and Russia, which has been under U.S. and European Union sanctions since its annexation of Crimea from Ukraine a year ago. Nicaragua supported the annexation.

“Because of the U.S. presence in countries abutting Russia, Russia may be looking to do the same in our region,” said Carlos Rivera Bianchini, president of the Foundation for Peace and Democracy in San José, Costa Rica.

Nicaragua, the second poorest country in the Americas after Haiti, spends far less on defense than its neighbors to the north, partly because of its success at fending off organized crime and drug trafficking.

Rivera said it would be “irresponsible” of Nicaragua to buy jet fighters when so much of its population lives in poverty.

“The maintenance of these planes – even if they are donated – is extremely high,” Rivera said.

A senior U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity in order not to interfere in bilateral relations, said speedy jet fighters are not so useful in identifying and intercepting drug-laden aircraft.

“For narcotics work, what you need are spotter planes,” the official said.

The official noted that Nicaragua’s military often doesn’t “have the funding for the basics” and voiced surprise at the suggestion that Russia might donate the aircraft to Nicaragua.

“In my time, I haven’t seen a whole lot of free military equipment, but anything is possible,” the official said.

Since Ortega’s return to power, Russia has boosted aid, providing 100,000 tons of wheat each year since 2011 and turning over 520 Russian-made public buses. In 2013, Russia agreed to offer patrol gunboats to Nicaragua.

As part of the Russian defense minister’s visit in February, Nicaragua agreed to ease rules to allow Russian warships to enter Nicaraguan ports.

In addition, Russia’s top counter-drug official, Viktor Ivanov, visited Managua last September, announcing the construction of a Russian-financed training center to fight narcotics trafficking.

More than 45 military cadets and officers left Nicaragua last September for extended training in Russia.

Other Central American nations have sought to expand and fortify their military capacity in recent years, creating frictions in the region.

In 2013, El Salvador paid $8.5 million to buy 10 used A-37 Dragonfly aircraft from Chile, a move that drew protests from neighboring Honduras, which has traditionally wielded the strongest air force in the region.

Last year, Honduras bought two Super Tucano turboprop combat planes from Brazil’s Embraer and received aircraft worth $36 million from Taiwan, including four U.S.-built helicopters.

Police Implement New Policy to Treat Everyone as Criminals: When a Cop Stops You, Hands Must Go Up !!

If your Hands are UP.. You can no longer be filming the police. Think about that. ...

The next thing to happen is when police are around, everybody has to put their hands up...example: a policeman walks into a McDonalds, everyone puts their hands up... Soon, when a cop is present, everyone hits the floor and put their hands behind their head. Granny didn't comply because she has a bad rotator cuff?? Why she deserves to be shot..

Susoni

****************************************************

Topeka, KS — Drivers as well as their passengers in Topeka Kansas will soon be subject to a new policy requiring everyone to put their hands up during police stops.

Police say they are implementing this policy because “we all want to go home to our families, and this makes it safer for us to approach vehicles to gain that compliance. It gives us a chance to survive these encounters.”

However, the implications regarding this practice are horrid, and many residents are up in arms about being forced to be up in arms.

“Every day somebody’s getting shot by a police officer, and it’s like ‘oh my goodness, will I be next?’, or will I be okay?” said one resident.

Local officers are citing the three tragic shooting deaths of officers in a two year period as the reasoning behind this policy.

“As we all know, we’ve lost three officers in less than 2 years and as a result of that we’ve had to take a hard look at the way we’re conducting business, particularly as it relates to car stops.” said TPD School Resource Officer Matt McClimans.

While this policy may seem like it has good intentions, nearly every aspect associated with it is tyrannical.

First of all, this “policy” was not approved by the taxpayers. No citizens got to vote on its implementation, and it is going to be enforced with potentially deadly force.

Secondly, it treats ALL parties stopped by police as criminals.

One resident summed it up perfectly by saying, “Make us feel safe, not automatically make us feel like criminals.”

“To put my hands up, I mean, I just can’t see how people are not offended by that,” said one resident.

“I think that is too aggressive, and unnecessary, and I don’t agree with it,” said another.

“Police and community interactions are tough enough as it is and the more demands, the tougher it’s going to be, and the more problems you’re going to have,” explained a resident.

Besides treating everyone they come in contact with as a criminal, forcing people to put their hands up creates a slew of other problems as well.

How would someone hold the police accountable by filming their own interactions if they are forced to raise their hands? All too often innocent people are vindicated after being beaten and assaulted by police, only because a cell phone was recording.

This would end that.

Trans-Pacific Partnership: A Way for Foreign BANKS to SUE the US for not making enough Money

Gone are the days when someone had to actually work for money. Now, corporations can sue the US if we aren't BUYING their products.

--------

An ambitious 12-nation trade accord pushed by President Obama would allow foreign corporations to sue the United States government for actions that undermine their investment “expectations” and hurt their business, according to a classified document.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership — a cornerstone of Mr. Obama’s remaining economic agenda — would grant broad powers to multinational companies operating in North America, South America and Asia. Under the accord, still under negotiation but nearing completion, companies and investors would be empowered to challenge regulations, rules, government actions and court rulings — federal, state or local — before tribunals organized under the World Bank or the United Nations.

Backers of the emerging trade accord, which is supported by a wide variety of business groups and favored by most Republicans, say that it is in line with previous agreements that contain similar provisions. But critics, including many Democrats in Congress, argue that the planned deal widens the opening for multinationals to sue in the United States and elsewhere, giving greater priority to protecting corporate interests than promoting free trade and competition that benefits consumers.

The chapter in the draft of the trade deal, dated Jan. 20, 2015, and obtained by The New York Times in collaboration with the group WikiLeaks, is certain to kindle opposition from both the political left and the right. The sensitivity of the issue is reflected in the fact that the cover mandates that the chapter not be declassified until four years after the Trans-Pacific Partnership comes into force or trade negotiations end, should the agreement fail.

Conservatives are likely to be incensed that even local policy changes could send the government to a United Nations-sanctioned tribunal. On the left, Senator Elizabeth Warren, Democrat of Massachusetts, law professors and a host of liberal activists have expressed fears the provisions would infringe on United States sovereignty and impinge on government regulation involving businesses in banking, tobacco, pharmaceuticals and other sectors.

Members of Congress have been reviewing the secret document in secure reading rooms, but this is the first disclosure to the public since an early version leaked in 2012.

“This is really troubling,” said Senator Charles E. Schumer of New York, the Senate’s No. 3 Democrat. “It seems to indicate that savvy, deep-pocketed foreign conglomerates could challenge a broad range of laws we pass at every level of government, such as made-in-America laws or anti-tobacco laws. I think people on both sides of the aisle will have trouble with this.”

Clinton Hit with 'Racketeering' Lawsuit over Emails

Oh, one can only hope this plays out in our favor... Does this sound like a move by one side to discredit the other (so She can't run)??? Then a NEW, woman will be pushed forward to take Hill's place. Sadly, they ALL need to be exposed..

Susoni

*************************************

The conservative group Freedom Watch has filed a racketeering lawsuit against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that accuses her of failing to produce documents under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

The civil suit, filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, argues that Clinton used her private emails to sell access to other officials in return for donations to the Clinton Foundation.

It alleges that, during her tenure, Clinton withheld documents requested under FOIA regarding State Department waivers given to businesses or individuals doing business with Iran, possibly undermining U.S.-imposed sanctions.

The complaint, which lists Bill and Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation as defendants, alleges the Clintons sold access to other U.S. government officials in return for donations to their organization, which they concealed, allegedly, by using a private computer server for her emails operated from their home in Chappaqua, New York.

Larry Klayman, the founder of Freedom Watch, launched dozens of lawsuits against former President Bill Clinton’s administration.

In the new lawsuit, he alleges that, during Hillary Clinton's tenure, the State Department “clearly leaked” information to New York Times reporter David Sanger on U.S. and Israeli efforts to counteract Iran's nuclear weapons program.

“Public reports about plans to counter Iran’s nuclear weapons development programs undermined the effectiveness of those plans by revealing them to Iran and other terrorist organizations and states,” the complaint states.

The civil suit alleges the Clintons “systematically and continuously ... conducted a corrupt enterprise” over more than 10 years, allegedly in violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization (RICO) Act, which deals with abuse and misuse of organizations or businesses.

In a statement, Klayman cast his lawsuit as “the first and only hard-hitting case to address the growing email scandal.”

“What Hillary Clinton, her husband, and their foundation have done is nothing new. It is simply part of a criminal enterprise which dates back at least 100 years, all designed to enrich themselves personally at the expense of the American people and our nation. It's time, however, that they finally be held legally accountable,” Klayman said.

Clinton acknowledged the private server earlier this month, explaining that she deleted more than 30,000 emails her aides deemed personal, and turned over the rest to the State Department for archiving.

The House select committee investigating the deadly 2012 attack in Benghazi, Libya, has asked Clinton to turn over her server to an independent arbiter. Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) has also demanded Clinton turn over the server but has so far not directed House Republicans to subpoena her records.

Bill Nye the Science Guy (Idiot) : 'We NEED Carbon Tax to Redistribute Wealth...Need Gov't to Run things...Everyone else Should Shut Up'

I wonder how wealthy Bill Nye is? Is he handing out his money as soon as it comes in and giving away his children's inheritance?

Gee Bill, Did you get an order from, your masters to put up a commercial for the NWO Depopulation crowd??

What is sad is your children listen to this idiot..
Susoni

***********************************

Bill Nye The Science Guy gave a speech showing him to be the latest cheerleader for authoritarians.

The final moments of the 'climate change' awareness speech to promote his new book were captured on the video below. There's no description in the video of where the event took place, but it seems to be from the National Science Teachers Conference earlier this month.

Some of the featured quotes he said to roaring cheers, "we need carbon tax to redistribute wealth...we need government to run things...everyone else should shut up" . 

This may seem shocking to some (especially the cheering part), but Bill Nye has also recently called for heavy population reduction in line with eugenicists' "solution" to alleged climate change.

In a Google Talk from December 2014, Bill Nye said the following

We're at 7.2 billion people. And that's it. You've more than doubled the number of humans burning and breathing the atmosphere in the last two decades. That's your problem.

So we need to reduce the human population (nervous laughs). We do. But I mean, this is - you guys, we don't do it.

By the way, war is completely ineffective.

Ebola will not do it. No.

And you can see it historically. The scale of the problem is huge.

He's a ranting lunatic through the entire talk, but the bit about killing off humans begins around the 52:00 mark. This time he struggles to get the crowd to cheer for hating humans. 

U.S. power grid undergoes attacks every four days

Mr. Johnson mysteriously passed away shortly after his company, which was going to manufacture and sell his motor, mysteriously shut down.

Bracing for a big power grid attack: 'One is too many'
Steve Reilly - March 24, 2015

About once every four days, part of the nation's power grid — a system whose failure could leave millions in the dark — is struck by a cyber or physical attack, a USA TODAY analysis of federal energy records finds.

Although the repeated security breaches have never resulted in the type of cascading outage that swept across the Northeast in 2003, they have sharpened concerns about vulnerabilities in the electric system. A widespread outage lasting even a few days could disable devices ranging from ATMs to cellphones to traffic lights, and could threaten lives if heating, air conditioning and health care systems exhaust their backup power supplies.

Some experts and officials fear the rash of smaller-scale incidents may point to broader security problems, raising questions about what can be done to safeguard the electrical grid from an attack that could leave millions without power for days or weeks, with potentially devastating consequences.

CGI's Morgan: Wind Boggling Fantasy from the likes of Fulford, Wilcox, SOTT and Sundry

From CGI's Morgan:

Dog Poet Transmitting.......

May you be the person your dog thinks you are.

Every now and then, I have to depart from the usual topics of the day but... not right away. I've been doing these blogs for ten years. In that time I have encountered predictions and prognostications, as well as wildassed flights of mind boggling fantasy from the likes of Fulford, Wilcox, SOTT and sundry. They've made a lot of money from this kind of enterprise. It should also come as no surprise that the second most popular and successful alternative news gathering site, celebrates Halloween as its main holiday. I should add that the most popular alternative site of all, which used to employ the Halloween guy, is hosted by a Rothschild financed cartoon character, who is possibly one of the most overblown caricatures that I have ever seen. Meanwhile I catch shit for being me, way out of proportion with what is deserved by those already mentioned. This is how it all goes in the environs in which we do our day to day. This is not some kind of 'poor me' soliloquy. It's a matter of fact appraisal of how it is and... I will tell you why; perhaps it isn't exactly why but it is how it looks to me sometimes and... like I said, I'll tell you why.

Meanwhile, let me say that of all the predictions and prognostications that I have heard about in the last ten years, almost none of them have come true.

Every now and then I put my name in quotes, like this; “les visible” and pop it into Zio-Google. I did this today and I noticed something I had never seen before. Ordinarily the only negative commentary I run into is that put together by Dublin Mick, who... ostensibly... ostensibly went out of his way to assault me because he felt that I did not attack The Vatican aggressively enough. He didn't feel it was important enough to approach me first before he launched into his hatchet job, which included seeking out everyone he knew who disliked me for one reason or another and letting them have at me while he performed as modifier, which made him not only look good but also accomplished his real intention. It was a good example of Machiavelli being channeled to a particular end but... I digress.

Today I found that every negative commentary ever made about me had been pushed to the top of the list in terms of the pages that list me and all the positive commentary had been relegated to, 'my back pages', or removed altogether because... now, most of them are missing. At first I was shocked, especially when I saw that the Cassiopeia hit team efforts had not only been sent front row center but now was present in multiples as it had never been before. Nothing much happened at the Gormenghast mansion in France when I visited, with every good intention The vipers who later came after me for this nothing at all, hadn't ever even been there. Like the good robots that they are, they allowed themselves to be whipped into a frenzy by the back of the scenes maestress, who orchestrated the whole affair. As ugly as it was... a few years later I went out of my way to come to their defense when they were under attack by the French authorities. Boy! Did I catch it for that!!! Chief among those screaming at me was Halloween Boy, whose defense I came to when he got embroiled with Henry Makow for refusing to print the wild-assed sensationalist renderings of Jim Stone. I caught all kinds of shit for this too but... it has always been my nature to come to the aid of a friend (even when I only think they are my friend) and even to the aid of those who are not my friends. It's my nature. I got that Don Quixote, knight on a white charger foolishness; or at least I used to have it. That fever is now in remission.

Some while ago a blogger named, Nobody jumped on my case in a vicious manner when I thought we were long time friends and associates (albeit virtual ones). He jumped on my case because he said I was not hard enough on The Satanists. Once again, even with our long history, he decided to publicly scourge me without ever coming to me first. The thing is that I mentioned The Satanists all the time, just as I do these days. It made no sense. Dublin Mick's comments made no sense. Right there on the page in question (easily found), he goes on and on about how the Rothschild Bankers control The Vatican finances. None of this makes any sense. I know the real reasons that all of these people have seen fit to come after me and on some occasions the scenarios were arranged precisely for the effect obtained, like the lady from God-Like Productions, who came around to harass me about the Kundalini hand postures displayed by me on the site and wouldn't let up, hoping to provoke a particular reaction from me and... she (if she she was) finally got it and this granted her the justification to attack me. She pointed out how much she always liked me, even though I had never encountered her before. Here's a listing about Godlike Productions. Everything else you can find by doing what I did.

Various things have happened to me that I never would have expected, because I am an ingenue; a Pollyanna, or I used to be. These things happened to me because I have carried a cavalier attitude far too long in my life; not anymore.

There is one complaint that is made about me that is legitimate. I don't suffer fools gladly and I am sometimes short with people. People far more famous and wiser than me have the same shortcoming. It comes with the territory. I could have been nicer, I admit. All the rest of the unsubstantiated howling and gnashing of teeth are not a part of my repertoire. They are things made up about me for the purpose of slander. Slander is a curious tactic. If you throw shit at people, some of it will stick and there is nothing you can do about it. Other claims made against me are about having invisible friends and who I talk to and hear from. I accept those as virtues and my critics can howl about that as long as they wish. On those accounts, time will tell and we shall see.

Why am I writing about this today? Many of you know about these things and don't care. That's the thing about these critics. They make up a very small minority of the people who come around. They are proportionate to the occasional negative comments that show up about once a month or so. It's like a party. Everyone is having a good time but then there are a couple of troublemakers and their presence can be loud, out of all proportion to the others. It seems like there are more of them than there are. They can do damage though, because many people will believe something just because they read it somewhere. Still... you can't let this get you down. You can't let it affect what you do. Sure, I've made mistakes, but most of the time, it was not so much a mistake as the fear of what might happen that I put into people, even though NOTHING really happened. In the course of what I do, I come across people with high expectations of me. Sometimes they are people who want to use me for their own elevation. I lack the initiative to allow this. I don't take myself seriously. They do and... I got a problem with vanity. I don't like it and near all of the people I have mentioned have far too much of it.

People say all kinds of nice things about me. I almost NEVER respond to them. I also do not kiss other people's asses and play to their vanity. This upsets a lot of people. Some of them think if they pump me up, I should pump them up in return. This kind of thing never crosses my mind. It's just not what I do and you can't expect this from me. I'd be much further up the ladder of manifest success if I just played the game. I don't and I can't. That's how it is. Surely you can figure out the reasons for that so... why am I writing about this... really?

A lot of you have started blogs over recent times. You want to do some good in the world and I understand that. That is what motivates me too but... remember everything I said here today and remember that these things could well happen to you too. If you are going to play in this arena and if you are going to say these kinds of things... it comes with a price. People have tried to destroy me for a long time. I did two stints locked up, in bad places, for that very reason BEFORE I ever started here. I have been the target of bad people and that includes both the seen and unseen. Given the odds, I should have been destroyed a long time ago. Later... on the internet... enough things happened that my credibility could have been shot long ago. I am still here.

You need to be sure about all of this as you go. This is not a situation comedy (even though it is). It is a drama. Sometimes it is a horror movie and sometimes it is a thriller. It is very seldom a musical. It is almost never an animated kiddie flick. Bad shit can happen and you have to pay attention. I wish I had paid more attention and I assure you I wish I had done certain things differently. Learn from what has happened to me. Let the unfortunate moments of my existence guide you around the holes I fell into. Not all of us are gifted enough or aided enough to climb back out again. I offer you all of this as a caution on your own way. You have to have steel in your spine and you have to be able to not look back. Never look back. It was that great baseball pitcher, Satchel Paige who said, “Don't look back. Someone might be gaining on you.”

Short Video - An Eye For An Eye Will Make The Whole World Blind

Molly's Minute: An Eye For An Eye Will Make The Whole World Blind 

"I have come to understand just how well government propaganda works, Influenced by advertising, and government regulated education, governed by empathetic and educated people trusting government rules and regulations to be sound and ethical.

We say we want freedom, yet we accept laws that directly go against the very principals which would facilitate a free society.

People have an innate desire to live, yet we allow governments to train soldiers to kill humans for resources, we allow police to kill humans for our so called safety and we allow women to kill unborn humans in the name of pro-choice.

No human can feel free or safe in a society who deems aggression as acceptable.

Killing is wrong...and making a calculated decision to kill is wrong...and any society that had even half of the compassion and wisdom we claim to have, would know this.

Sadly we will never know freedom as long as we can still justify killing each other".
