While reading the
text of Obama Statement on Shootings in Colorado, one line struck this writer as quite astounding:
“We may never understand what leads anybody to terrorize their fellow
human beings like this. Such violence, such evil is senseless. It’s
beyond reason.”
The President may have realized afterward that since he has been
ordering the shooting of thousands in a half-dozen countries, the words
“evil, senseless, beyond reason” could easily reflect back on himself. A
later Obama statement on the massacre in a Colorado movie house did not
contain the words “evil,” “senseless,” “violence beyond reason.”
In any case, history books, in some future, probably not to distant,
day will deplore Obama’s pathetic 9/11 excuse for increasing and
extending a ten-year-old military occupation war in dirt poor
Afghanistan, killing, and killing easily, young and old Afghani, who are
fighting invaders of theirir nation as they have always done. And
perhaps one day independent investigative journalism will reveal whose
instructions Obama was following from within that “financial element”
that FDR confided “has owned the government since the days of Andrew
Jackson.”
Historians will denounce his shameful exceeding of his executive
powers under the Constitution, to have assassinated even American
citizens without trial, and ridicule the pack of lies he offered in sick
defense of his frightening Hellfire and Predator drones murdering
intentionally and collaterally while menacing all citizens in some of
the most poverty-stricken populations on earth. Historians will judge
his character by his once infamous joking about using a drone on his
daughters boyfriends — “they’ll never know what hit them.”
Very possibly, scholars will chronicle a time when Americans were no
longer kept in ignorance by a commercial media blackout of the last year
of Martin Luther King Jr.’s life, when King called his country “the
greatest purveyor of violence in the world” and condemned US wars as all
meant to maintain “unjust overseas predatory investments.”
Such a time might well arrive in the racing era of instant world-wide
personal communication while Barack Obama is still alive and
prosecutable for crimes against humanity, or in his own words of 2012,
“for violent, evil, senseless and beyond reason, terrorizing fellow
human beings.” With the recording of his words, Obama would have
difficulty pleading insanity.
Jay Janson, spent eight years as Assistant
Conductor of the Vietnam Symphony Orchestra in Hanoi and also toured,
including with Dan Tai-son, who practiced in a Hanoi bomb shelter. The
orchestra was founded by Ho Chi Minh,and it plays most of its concerts
in the Opera House, a diminutive copy of the Paris Opera. In 1945, our
ally Ho, from a balcony overlooking the large square and flanked by an
American Major and a British Colonel, declared Vietnam independent.
Everyone in the orchestra lost family, "killed by the Americans" they
would mention simply, with Buddhist un-accusing acceptance. Jay can be
