First They Came For the . . . revisited

At first they came for the Muslims, but they are foreign to me, my god had a different name, and those people’s names are too hard to pronounce . . . 
So I said nothing. 

[for 8 months, after 9-11, the NYPD spied on the Muslim community only to discover that there were no terrorist among them. The atrocities against Muslims continued with the Bush administration’s illegal wars of aggression in Central Asia. A decade later Obama ordered the assassination of Anwar al-Awlaki and his two teenaged sons, a U.S. Citizen , family man, and Muslim clergyman.]

Then they came after the ridiculous (and radical) talk show hosts, but I was not ridiculous nor am I fond of the patently absurd . . . 
So I said nothing.

[Breitbart is dead, Limbaugh and Jones’ days may be numbered. That they are "targets" is pure speculation but who would speak up for them if it were so?]

Then they came for those of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender orientation but I am a heterosexual . . . 
So I said nothing.

[That "marriage" MUST be defined as "between a man and a woman" by homophobic pedophiles is ludicrous.] 

Then they came for the women but I am not a girl . . . 
So I said nothing. 

[Obscene laws, affecting women and their bodies, are being introduced at the state and federal level. Philanthropic funding for breast cancer prevention is being compromised by radical fringe elements. Workplace and wage equality is nonexistent. Both women and their doctors are being treated as though their ideas of wellbeing are irrelevant.] 

Then they came for the drug users but I am not addicted . . . 
So I said nothing.

["Victimless crimes" result in an unthinkable number of incarcerations. Prisons in the US are rapidly being privatized and are a "growth industry" because of the insane "war on drugs"] 

Then they came for illegal immigrants but I was born here . . . 
So I said nothing.

[Here i agree with the conservatives: At the very least illegal immigrants should be forced to learn to write and speak our language . . . Lakhota. Hahahahahahahaha (gotcha)] 

Then they came for the environment but I refuse to turn the lights off when I leave the room, refuse to give up my large automobile and take the bus, and I don’t care if nuclear energy adds ungodly amounts of heat (and carbon during construction and uranium mining) to the atmosphere and water. . . 
So I said nothing. 

[Anthropomorphic heat is being added to our fragile and balanced environment so fast that hundreds of species go extinct every day and earth’s polar ice stores are diminishing at an alarming rate.]

Then they came for me . . . 
But there was no one left to speak up for me!

WTF?

SPEAK UP OR DIE!!!

No, REALLY. Just ask the Jews in Nazi Germany, the intellectuals in Mao’s China, and a host of others around the world. Oh wait, you can’t. Know why? Because they’re DEAD. 

Think it can’t happen in America? Think again. It already has . . . Under the CURRENT administration.

Again: SPEAK UP OR DIE!!!

  • Wasn’t it Audre Lourde who said, "Your silence will not protect you."

    Bless you for speaking out Wolf. Thank you Corie Johnson, Word Warrior for Peace

  • {{}}Thank you so very much, TW. Your points are all well-spoken and well-taken. May this be a reminder to us all to open our mouths and say something before we lose the chance!!! A more fitting birthday gift has certainly never been penned.

  • I’m not sure speaking up will save us: the Palestinians have spoken loud and clear, but they continue to die at the hands of a gang of genocidal megalomaniacs who think they’re the master race.

    • AH, but it is precisely because the Palestinians and those sympathetic to their cause that we know who the antagonist is.

  • First we must define who is "THEY".

    The illusive and veiled word ’they’ only provides shelter for those who are actively pursuing this global control; for those who are carrying out most of the violence in the world against innocent people; for those who seek to control the world and destroy anyone who gets in their way; for those involved in the slow and sure loss of liberty world wide.

    You also fall into the trap of perpetuating the myth if the "Jews and Nazi Germany". It is now estimated that far more non-jews died at the hands of the Nazis than did Jews. The fictitious 6million number is just that-fictitious. Actual red cross estimates put the numbers at roughly 2-300 thousand. Perhaps less. Nazi Germany was FAR from being a jewish-only experience and in fact, Judea had declared war on Germany almost a decade before Hitler decided to rid Germany of the corruption Jews had instilled in their society. We should neither forget the fact that Stalin, Marx and Lenin were Jews. Estimates put the numbers of deaths attributed to Stalin at over 60 million. Stalin was a Jew. So who is "they" that are coming for us?

    The ’war on terror is an Israeli-perpetuated myth. 911 was the product of the Israeli Mossad. There were no Arabs on the airline mainfesto’s of that day. There were Israeli’s arrested on that day w/ explosives, but that was covered up and the Bin Laden family was flown out of the country during the no-fly period. Perle, Wolfowitz, Feith, Zachim were the circle of the Bush Administration instrumental for drafting the Patriot Acts.

    Israel has instigated and fostered the last 3 illegal invasions and occupations carried out by their vassal the US. Israel wishes to control the world through their connections to the Rothschild family and it’s banking network. Israel also wants ALL the land from the Nile to the Euphrates to install the Greater Israel. And they will stop at nothing to gain it - up to and including starting a nuclear war.

    So "WHO" is "THEY" that are coming for us?

    • A well informed friend of mine has posited that Israel is a shill for the CIA. "They", of course, would want us to believe it was the other way around.

    • Israel is a front for the Rothschild banking cabal and it’s many and varied military-industrial complex interests. The CIA is an extension of the Mossad. The US is run by israel and Jewish interests. New York? Bloomberg. Chicago? Emanuel. Los Angeles? Antonio Villaraigosa - staunch Israel supporter. Hollywood? The FED? Bernanke. Morgan Stanley? Is doesn’t take a genius to see that 98% of the population is being controlled by a 2% group. 98% of the population also pay a ’tax’ so that 2% can pretend their mythical god is pleased. It’s called kosher tax.

      The Torah and Talmud are weapons of mass destruction and their adherents are enemies of humanity.

      So who is "they" who are coming for us?

    • Who are "they"? That’s easy. They are called psychopaths. They are within the ranks of every institution and every race, both genders and all sexual orientations. They are, bare minimum, 4% of the population.

    • Psychopaths indeed. But one trait characterizes the great majority of this group: the notion that they are "chosen by god"; that they are "god’s chosen people". This is a trait which placates their conscience; which allows them to wreak havoc world wide; to threaten non-threatening countries; to instill corruption and a loss of morals in societies, to destroy currencies: Their belief that they are god’s chosen people. It’s a religion of self-worship, hatred of others, racism, exceptionalism and contempt for all that is good. And this ’religion’ is revered as being ’revealed’. NOTHING could be further from the truth. And its books contain not a word of truth but lies and fiction.

      Their ’god’ is indeed Moloch and they are enemies of humanity. The torah and talmud are indeed weapons of mass destruction and must be banned from existence before the world can hope for any measure of peace.

  • Thank you Wolf, I’m so glad that you DO speak up. I’m glad to see so many comments showing how people like your work.
    One good thing about being an old woman is you can pretty much say what you want, but the bad thing is not many pay attention to an old woman. But I try and will continue to pass the word that we either speak or don’t wonder why when "they" come to get you.
