Things are Getting Stranger by the Minute

A toxic cocktail of misinformation is being fed to the American people.Here's a reality check from Egberto Willies

•  If you believe the small number of deaths in America caused by Islamic terrorism warrants a war, why is a war not warranted on those who promote a gun culture that is killing north of 30,000 Americans every year?


•  Why is there not a war on the lack of health care, given the number of Americans who die from the lack of it every year? We are always able to find money to grease the military industrial complex to fight wars of choice—why not our health care system, which saves instead of destroys lives?


• Why don’t we have a war on our crumbling infrastructure, potholes, failed systems, or falling bridges that kill or maim?


• Why is there not a war on income and wealth inequality, which creates a catastrophic burden on the lives of millions?
