they hate us for our freedoms
I'm not sure who's worse, the SoulDiers who blindly follow their orders to kill, the assholes giving the orders, or the american "patriots" who cheer when this shit happens.
it's time to rubbleize!!!!!!
" We rubbelized some folks. "
"If you want your rubble you can keep your rubble..."
Yes BB, and my favorite, thank you for your service...grrrr, it makes me think Faux News
Nothing proves the Pentagon's concern for the environment quite like these photos! 'Murica. Fuck yeah.
These pictures make total sense. How to control the world when your citizens are no longer productive you ask? Simple: Destroy it.
End the Fed and the corrupt dollar system and ALL of humanity will be FAR better off.
Barney Rubble told me this was normal...
You can all take comfort in the fact that the 3% has swelled to around 5% and should see 6%+ by the time the collapse occurs...
We are not alone,,,
;-D
Yemen looks an awful lot like Baker, CA. Place is so bombed out it looks like the Marines had target practice.
What those pictures do not show is the freedom and democracy that these countries now enjoy.
Freedom and democracy cannot be photographed.
< All four look better than Detroit.
< At least one is worse than Detroit.
Those pix probably give krugman a raging boner....
Krugman whacks off to this kind of porno.
Just look at all those "shovel ready" projects !!!!
'Murica gonna free the shit out some folks !!!!!
Just bringing the American Dream to them.
Yeeey!

"I'm not sure who's worse, the SoulDiers who blindly follow their orders to kill, the assholes giving the orders, or the american "patriots" who cheer when this shit happens."
Here's who is worse: big government politicians like Bush, Obama, and Clinton that started those wars along with the multinational corporations and billionaires like George Soros that thrive on conflict and fat government contracts.
At some point in history, the US will be seen as what it is: An Ukraine with nukes - only that the US is more fascist.
Abroad, the US is already seen for what it is; home and favored sponsor of Raytheon, General Dynamics, Lockheed-Martin, United Technologies, Gruumond, Academi, et al.
^^ The usual zio porn monger^^
As for the photo... "Liberating the people... from all their earthly possessions".
edit.... ahhh "ZD1" u got in the way!
Glad you metnioned Detroit. That's also an example of American government involvement on many levels.
I'll bet most Americans don't even know the US is bombing in Yemen or what happened in Libya.
reminds me of Market St in San Francisco, less ruin but more beggars and dirt. always feels like a riot is about to errupt. Plus occasionaly someone takes a shit on a sidewalk in broad daylight ...
Don't get off the train at Civic Center unless you're goin' all the way.
Seattle downtown has turned into a cesspool also.
So true. Drive around downtown Seattle about ten at night and there are thousands of homeless wandering the streets. No-one else. Just homeless.
Lawyers should have a field day representing a class action lawsuit against the US government and the allies. Any taker?
Fish Gone Bad said: "Yemen looks an awful lot like Baker, CA."
At least the "World's Tallest Thermometer" is still standing in Baker (r at least it was when I drove thru there a few days ago)

Nothing left standing in Yemen
Can't have a "Greater Israel" without having a "Lessor everyone else" now can we?
In the science of psychology, this is called "projection". It are upper middle class Anglo-Saxon whites who seem chronically unable to differentiate between persecution and being asked to relinquish privileges they shouldn't have had in the first place.
What. In the fuck.
Are you talking about?
Also - thats not 'projection'
Yeah, people ask me all the time to relinquish privileges. Always very politely too. I say, "let them eat cake" and they stare with mouth agape.
The project "GI" is under construction. See http://zarubezhom.com/Images/GreatIsrael2.jpg
Guess who should loss their jobs, homes, families and countries.

NEW FOOTAGE :VIRAL: SHOW IDF SOLDIER THROWS KNIFE NEXT TO PALESTINIAN STUDENT AND ORDERS HER TO PICK IT UP AND PREPARED TO MURDER HER
New video. "Oblivious to the bus passenger capturing the events with his mobile device the IDF-Zionist soldier can be seen at the 1:30 mark throwing a what appears to be a knife on the ground and ordering the terrified girl to pick it up then getting prepared to shoot her but the soldier find out that someone in the bus was videotaping him as a witness and then arresting her and charging her with attempted stabbing".The girl ( 14 years old )was arrested and taken to an unknown location.The video Occurred at al-nashash checkpoint near Bethlehem. The young girl survived this experience thanks to the witness.

Naturally we can expect the us media to cover this as fully as it has the hundreds of similar incidents.
Shouldn't these pictures be on the Nobel Peace Price Winner Potus Poster?
Fighting climate change, one 500 pound bomb at a time.
I cringe when I hear that.
I started hearing that in earnest in 2011. All at once It sprung up everywhere. "Thank you for your service". A reflexive response to the uniform or the CAC card. Can't be coincidence. It has to be a psyop.
I usually reply: "Thank you. I had good intentions. I'm sorry how it turned out."
Smedley Butler was right.
I could have sworn that third one was Detroit.
"The cost of rubble will be reduced by $2,500."
Deflation!!!!
I'm sure that's just global warming, uh I mean climate change, at work.
The logical conclusion of the Kruggybear method. At least rubble is shovel ready.
What a bunch of BS. In almost every case the pictures are reversed. We come in and establish democracy for the folks, and their country does so much better afterwards.
are you fuckin serious?!?!?!
Really. This is one of those cases where a simple /s could save a life.
Yep. On the internet, no one really knows if you are being sarcastic.
It is such a stupid comment. It almost has to be sarcastic. But the you never know.
It has to be sarc. It is NOT possible to be that stupid.
Never underestimate stupidity. And you can't fix stupid.
THAT was pure comedy! What is wrong with pointing out the king has no clothes? Honestly, don't judge people, that's what church is for.
are u idiots completely braindead? of course he's joking. wtf is wrong with u monkeys.

The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.

Tylers,
You forgot Afghanistan, Eastern Ukraine, Palestine, and the economic destruction of Iran. America killing innocent people, and doing evil all in the name of Zionist Fascism.
Tranny, you are fucking stupid cunt that forgot the sacrasm signal ... /S, or you are simply a fucking stupid cunt.

Really?
Transformer reminds me so much of MDB.
Welcome back MDB.
Excellent satire.
The "s/" sometimes makes it less funny.
Ok which one of you let the retard in?
Transformer, you are on the path to MDB... MDB was great. WHere is MDB by the way?
Transformer - MDB in disguise! (new theme song)
MDB, is that you?
Well worth the watch, it's source will surprise you. It's content you will agree with. Watch the whole thing if you have the time.

That an incredible documentary.
I need to do a lot of research on North Korea now.Not a subject I had any interest in before.
well, the source does not surprise me. I agree with great parts of the content, as any student of propaganda would do
well chosen characterization: "public relation professionals outnumbering journalists". like lobbyists outnumbering politicians, it's true
after all, you can't build up a huge stock market without PR professionals and lobbyists. megacorporations desperately need legions of them just to... exist
"We killed some folks".
Yes we rubbled.
"What's your problem son. Can't you see we SAVED this place?"
and making some ruins for people to find relics in.
We made some folks some affordable real estate, I'm sure they will return the favor someday.
There no markets anymore, just interventions. Welcome to the free world
"We spread democracy to some folks"
Watch out USA, Karma is a bitch!!
sure enough
We can start with not joining in the 'Support our Troops' bullshit.
I think the morons buying American bonds and using the US$ are to blame... I know if they don't use the Usury$, they turn to ruble, but when enough stop the destruction stops.
Grr. Darn muslims. Why cant they be good guys like US?
And people will still continue to queue up to vote for this s**t......

Spambot walk to Taiwan.
You have just been liberated!
Liberated from your job, liberated from your home, liberated from your family, and finally, liberated from this mortal coil.
We told you it was a War of Liberation. You just didn't read the fine print, goy.
Humanity should (and eventually will) hang their head's in shame and regret, Shame for being bought and sold as idiots and fodder for the bullets of lies. And regret for not informing themselves of the lies that led us to this place.
It is not just USA. The whole world has stood by while this play went through the ACTS. Every single human being on the planet has allowed this to happen.
Before death in Libya....Ghadaffi's crime was in "not playing along and selling out". Kinda like Iraq and all. They all should just hand over everything and say thanks...but they did not . There is disinfo on both sides, But the "madman" and people who actually live there never seem to make the NYTimes.
"For 40 years, or was it longer, I can't remember, I did all I could to give people houses, hospitals, schools, and when they were hungry, I gave them food. I even made Benghazi into farmland from the desert, I stood up to attacks from that cowboy Reagan, when he killed my adopted orphaned daughter, he was trying to kill me, instead he killed that poor innocent child. Then I helped my brothers and sisters from Africa with money for the African Union.
I did all I could to help people understand the concept of real democracy, where people's committees ran our country. But that was never enough, as some told me, even people who had 10 room homes, new suits and furniture, were never satisfied, as selfish as they were they wanted more. They told Americans and other visitors, that they needed "democracy" and "freedom" never realizing it was a cut throat system, where the biggest dog eats the rest, but they were enchanted with those words, never realizing that in America, there was no free medicine, no free hospitals, no free housing, no free education and no free food, except when people had to beg or go to long lines to get soup.
No, no matter what I did, it was never enough for some, but for others, they knew I was the son of Gamal Abdel Nasser, the only true Arab and Muslim leader we've had since Salah-al-Deen, when he claimed the Suez Canal for his people, as I claimed Libya, for my people, it was his footsteps I tried to follow, to keep my people free from colonial domination - from thieves who would steal from us.
Now, I am under attack by the biggest force in military history, my little African son, Obama wants to kill me, to take away the freedom of our country, to take away our free housing, our free medicine, our free education, our free food, and replace it with American style thievery, called "capitalism," but all of us in the Third World know what that means, it means corporations run the countries, run the world, and the people suffer. So, there is no alternative for me, I must make my stand, and if Allah wishes, I shall die by following His path, the path that has made our country rich with farmland, with food and health, and even allowed us to help our African and Arab brothers and sisters to work here with us, in the Libyan Jamahiriya.
I do not wish to die, but if it comes to that, to save this land, my people, all the thousands who are all my children, then so be it.
Let this testament be my voice to the world, that I stood up to crusader attacks of NATO, stood up to cruelty, stood up to betrayal, stood up to the West and its colonialist ambitions, and that I stood with my African brothers, my true Arab and Muslim brothers, as a beacon of light. When others were building castles, I lived in a modest house, and in a tent. I never forgot my youth in Sirte, I did not spend our national treasury foolishly, and like Salah-al-Deen, our great Muslim leader, who rescued Jerusalem for Islam, I took little for myself...
In the West, some have called me "mad", "crazy", but they know the truth yet continue to lie, they know that our land is independent and free, not in the colonial grip, that my vision, my path, is, and has been clear and for my people and that I will fight to my last breath to keep us free, may Allah almighty help us to remain faithful and free.
One day he had a significant stockpile of gold and plans for a gold standard African dinar.

"We came, we saw, he died!" (Insert witch cackle and cankles)
The lesson, as always, is: don't fuck with The Usury. Put Qaddafi's name next to Lincoln, Hitler, and JFK's.
Someday, these racketeering sons of bitches are going to get what's coming.
"they hate us for our freedoms"
No, "They hate us for our freebombs" that we keep delivering.
Suppose you lived in a town that was run by a ruthless Mafioso boss. Sure he was ruthless to troublemakers and dissenters, but if you went about your business (and paid your taxes/respects to him), life was simple but livable, and crime was negligible.
Now imagine that a crime Overlord came from another country and decided to wreck the town, just to remove your Mafioso Don. In the process, your neighborhood and house were destroyed, and you lost friends and family.
Now tell me that YOU would not make it YOUR life's mission to bring these War Criminals to justice -- by any and all means necessary. And tell me that these same Criminals could not have foreseen all this. Now say it again - but with a straight face. I dare you. I fucking double-dare you!
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
Where's Detriot? BO and AO (Before Obama & After Obama)
If the US attacks Russia that destruction will visit the US many times over. You reap what you sow.
This pictures looks like Germany 1945!
PETITION: Withdrawal of all US and UK troops and US command positions from Germany!
Overall, there still are 58’000 foreign NATO soldiers in Germany, about 42’000 of which are US troops and 13’000 British. US troops and military interests are of taken care of by three US Army commands: "EuCom" (responsible for 51 states), "CentCom" (responsible for 20 states) and "AfriCom" (in charge of 53 countries) in Stuttgart. Overall, 124 countries are being under US military scrutiny from Stuttgart. It is from there, that concepts for the controversial drone strikes, operated from German Ramstein Airbase and secret commando actions are being carried out. From US bases in Germany prisoners are sent all over the world; still it cannot always and completely be ruled out that torture is being applied on these captives after reaching their destination. And again and again US bombing missions are flown from German soil (Ramstein Air Base), which turns Germany automatically a party to all those wars undertaken by the US under international law, a fact, which is not only being pointed out by the Federal Ministry of Defense. In addition, the US is storing about 20 nuclear weapons under US supervision on German soil, in Büchel – which have been recently modernized and raised by a factor of several dozen in their deadly power

global warming...
True dat. Climate change is responsible for the rubbelization. No doubts in my mind.
Looks like we need a Big Fat Climate Tax on the middle class to solve this.
Political climate change.
Pretty fucking sad. Again, who are the real terrorists?
Everything government touches, turns to shit.
"Everything government touches, turns to shit."
Government is fraud, top to bottom.
we did it for the children
we did it for the children.
You mean the collateral damage ones, or the ones in the Doctors Without Borders Hospital.
The "fun sized" drone targets
US exceptionalism!
I don't see a problem here.
Then I remember that I paid for it.
No you didn't . You're still paying for Grenada.
True. Nothing better than being impoverished to wreak destruction... pretty good deal.
One can not have weapons just "sitting around". They have to be used... frequently, and on different folks... frequently.

Never thought I would see the day when younger. But now...Amen, brotha
Hey, it's all part and parcel of saving the Earth. Since we need to turn off their air conditioners to save the planet, it's only fair that we help retrofit their living spaces with more earth-friendly cooling options.
They should be paying us for this.
Some people just LOVE that natural look.
Never ask "how bad could it be?" You know what happens next. You find out.
I have no doubt that this is all coming to a neighborhood near me but I will not surrender my sense of humor.
Spottswoode: Great job, team. Head back to base for debriefing and cocktails.

Fuck ya!
Freedum isn't free ffs........
Krugman is laughing meniacally while he pets his pussy cat. His broken window (city/people/infrastructure) stimulus is almost complete! "MUHAHAHAHA"
But seriously, what a fucking mess. I can't wait for the war crimes trials that will be held in every major US and European city. I look forward to watching the fuckers swing from ropes. They should let them down slowly too so they get to enjoy the experience.
And who will the Judges be?
I think ZH members should be the judges as well as all the people they displaced... or executioners, you can pick. Eye for an eye and all that. People like Victoria Nuland and Lindsay Lo..Grahm can get some sort of "special" treatment, room 101 or something.
We don't need to kill the neo-con perps. We just need to park them in the Black Dolphin for the rest of their time on this spinning orb.
Russia's toughest prison
Kudos to Howdy Doody.
That's tough, but tougher would be better. These special snowflakes deserve something more impressive.
The worst one, besides Iraq, is Libya.
The infrastructure we destroyed there is unimaginable.
Sure Iraq was hit the worst, and much has been lost there....but Libya was a modern arab oasis of a country in the middle of nothing.
We destroyed in a few days what took decades to build.
This is why I am not proud of my country, nor my military.
In fact, I would like to see Nuremberg type trials for 'merican military leaders and concentration gulags for the rest of enlisted.
Just like they did to Germany.
Its only proper.
Could we please start with Dick(head) Cheney?
He could be strapped down to a table while volunteers dig around in his body cavity searching for his black necrotic heart.
The real irony there is if they find it, it isn't even his.
Even if you drive a stake thru his heart, he will just go out and get another one.
Cheney? Libya was on Obama's watch. As a matter of fact, so are Yemen and Syria. Three out of four.
!!!
The USA did this murder of Libya and giving ownership to the people who did '911'?
What a joke.
http://youtu.be/aJURNC0e6Ek
Libya under Ghadaffi: universal free college education, free healthcare, free electricity. interest free loans.
A very bad example of how a nation's wealth is to be distributed!
Yeah and that is exactly one reason why Ghadaffi was wiped off the planet, Libya had some independent policy that benefited. Plus that old gold thingy

Down vote and fuk you for the enlisted comment. No problem on balance
For the most part, can't blame some of the enlisted, but some you can.
All are young and naive and many are poor and need a "job" and the propaganda coming from anywhere and everywhere works.
But many enlisted want to be heroes and they buy and sell the propaganda and therefore have some responsibility themselves.
Henry Kissinger - "Military Men Are Just Dumb, Stupid Animals To Be Used As Pawns In Foreign Policy"
"Only following orders" was not an acceptable excuse for the Nazi rank and file apparently.
You pay taxes therefore you paid us to go there - you need to go on trial or to the gulag it's only proper
Saw you're bio hope I didn't hurt your feelings. I'm trying to be a better person with the more gentler sex.But sometimes I get angry without knowing whether I'm dealing with a pussy or a cunt
You willingly went and invaded other countries.
You are a merc. Nothing more.
I don't willingly pay taxes.
I do it to keep other mercs (like you) from killing me.
You didn't have to pay those taxes. You're a pussy that didn't stand by his convictions and be willing to pay the price. Sorry - you're a cunt nothing less
General James N. Mattis “When you men get home and face an anti-war protester, look him in the eyes and shake his hand. Then, wink at his girlfriend, because she knows she's dating a pussy”
Whoa there....
We seriously didn't know. History was hidden, and replaced with psyops. I had no idea who Smedley Butler was. He doesn't exist in military history. They kept us too busy to explore outside of their training. We seriously believed we were the good guys.
We are strong. We are smart. We are Alphas. We don't have high prey drives: we are born to defend and protect.
As Kissinger says: our best qualities such as loyalty and bravery are exploited like stupid pawns. At the time of the action, we don't realize it. You can't experience cognative dissonance during such stress. The hypnotic training controls your actions.
When it's over, and we reflect on it, then comes the horror at what you did, experienced and saw.
Your judgment is heartfelt, I'm sure. But you are entirely lost and confused by what you do not know.
Those who are strongest, as I suspect our friend SMB is, are not still doing it to be a merc for the MIC. He's hanging in, trying to keep the whirlwind from coming back to us for just a bit longer. And it's coming.
If you have a teachable heart, look up the before and after photo study of the young soldiers who went to Afghanistan. Lots to learn in those portraits.
I bet you get a hard-on killing innocents who can't defend themselves. Macho man? Hardly. You are the cunt and pussy. Deal with that!
