Nima did an interview with Col. Wilkerson (yesterday?) … Nima brought up the attitude of Iranian people hating/disliking the American Gov’t … not the people and commenting the attitude is changing. As an American I believe we must take responsibility for what is happening in Gaza …  what has happened in ME/West Asia … across the planet actually. Burying our heads in the sand and using the ‘narrative’ too busy making a living to pay attention to geopolitics and ‘getting our information from the tube’ is no excuse.  We complain about our standard of living declining … while we live off the backs of the people of the world as the American boot sits upon their necks is obvious to even those Americans in denial, singing to the same sheet music while they hover in groupthink in blogs across the internet.

I’m so angry… and so tired of trying to NOT be angry as anger is useless…  some heavy karma is coming for citizens of USA .
