Twenty-three years ago on September 11th, a great big catastrophe hit the world. The US suffered a direct hit that was bad enough in terms of death and destruction. But the reaction by the US military-industrial complex was orders of magnitude more devastating to the world. Trillions of dollars worth of arms and ammunition was unleashed on millions of innocent civilians while protecting the guilty.
A few days later on Sept 17th, 2001, I wrote a piece on my UC Berkeley blog (which is no longer online.) I reproduced that piece on this blog: The Looking Glass War.
I am a pacifist by nature and conviction. The great evil in our world is the US military-industrial complex. The US government is the greatest evil organization the world has ever known. I don’t see how this can end well any time soon.
In July 1999, I published a piece that I am proud of: Dollar Auctions and Deadly Games. I hope you read it.
Take care and be well.
