"To see what is in front of one's nose needs a constant struggle."
----George Orwell
Orwell, wise as he was, did not consider those that did not want ot see reality, but striggled mightily to not see what was in front of their nose.
True, and I'll tell you what is it that we are not seeing in front of our noses and that is Western government meddling in other sovereign countries sponsoring instability, and at the same time Western unwillingness to protect their own borders.
The enemies are within and I am not talking about refugees. If this was carried out by Al Qaeda, ISIS or similar responsibility falls squarely on US, UK and other NATO intelligence agencies, organizations that have been working closely with these jokers, getting them weapons, training, know how and most gravely, protection instead of taking them down..
Orwell also taught us about the use of boogie men in far off places to justify and perpetuate fear and perpetual war which of course enabled blind fanaticism and oppression at home "for your safety". Ring a bell?
This tragedy is is going to be milked for everything it is worth to get France and other EU countries into the charade (War on US-Saudi funded ISIS). The US government knows it needs all allies on board now that Russia has joined the mix.
I don't believe that people leaving the middle east are all "freeloading men of military age" looking for free stuff. That's just ignorant. Have a look at what is going on over there.
