Micheal Rivero on War and Terrorism
Michael Rivero has plenty to turn you off of war, go see at whatreallyhappened.com
- War is the biggest sin of all, for it contains within it all other sins.
- There will never be peace until Israel surrenders their religious delusion that God intended for them to have all of life's blessings and for all others to have none.
- War is a means for the rich to plunder the poor and make them think it is a good thing!
- War is good business for the people in the business of war, but overall it amounts to taking vast sums of tax money and setting it on fire.
- War is mass murder wrapped in a pretty flag.
- The solution to the refugee crisis is not to flood the rest of the world with refugees but to end the wars that make them refugees.
- The scars of war do not vanish with the victory. They linger on to poison the future.
- There is no such thing as a Moral War. War is theft and mass murder wrapped in a pretty flag. War is the most immoral act there is, and lying a people into war is the greatest crime a ruler can commit against his own people.
- There is nothing humane about Humanitarian War just as there was nothing holy about Holy War. War is just mass murder and theft wrapped in a pretty flag!
- There is nothing like the possibility of a mushroom cloud forming over your head to clarify life's priorities!
- The problem with Americans dying in wars on Israel's enemies is that Israel is making enemies faster than Americans can kill them!
- The only terror attacks being stopped in the US are the ones the FBI set up themselves.
- The other side loves to play dirty, and calls it cleverness.
- Stopping terrorism is simple. Just quit screwing around with other people's countries and the terrorists will go home. But the government of the United States wants to go on screwing around with other people's countries, refuses to stop, indeed views it as Manifest Destiny for the United States Government to persist in screwing around with other people's countries, and views the inconvenience, increased tax burden, loss of civil liberties, deaths among the American people, and even global war as just another cost of doing business.
- That young man was supposed to find a cure for cancer ... but he died in Afghanistan. And that young woman was supposed to invent a new source of clean cheap energy, but she suffered a serious brain injury in Iraq. And that young man over there was going to be the father of a new world leader who would have ended all wars, except that he and that wonderful peace died in this war. Wars don't just murder the present, wars murder the future!
- The fastest way to stop terrorism is to quit screwing around with other peoples' countries!
- The history of war is the history of powerful individuals willing to sacrifice thousands upon thousands of other people's lives for personal gains.
- The US is on the verge of a new and even larger economic crash, and absent a major world war to blame the bad times on, the people of the US will blame the US Government. So the US Government needs WW3 and they need it right now.
- 'Peace and prosperity' means the time after a major war spent rebuilding everything that was destroyed.
- Once a government resorts to terror against its own population to get what it wants, it must keep using terror against its own population to get what it wants. A government that terrorizes its own people can never stop. If such a government ever lets the fear subside and rational thought return to the populace, that government is finished.
- More truth is spoken in a moment of anger than in an hour of reflection.
- Moshe Dayan once said, 'Israel must be like a mad dog...' It worked. The world now sees Israel as a mad dog.
- Nobody gets up one day and decides to be a terrorist for no reason. They don't hate us for our freedoms. They hate us and commit acts of terror because one day, as they are going about their normal lives, there is a horrendous blast and people they have known all their lives are lying in bloody shreds at their feet, mixed in with shrapnel stamped 'Made in the USA.'

- Jews Christians and Muslims all are able to live in peace. Sociopaths will go to war no matter what funny-looking robes they wear.
- If you win, it was a revolution. If you lose, it was a civil war.
- If one posits a group or a nation willing to commit atrocities for political gain, then one must also posit the existence of a group or nation willing to commit atrocities to blame on the first nation, for political gain.
- In time of war the people watch the enemy closely. In time of peace the people watch the government closely.
- I fear that fifty years from now, the world will view the stars and stripes with the same revulsion that our generation viewed the Swastika!
- Every successful insurgency, from the American Revolution to Vietnam to Afghanistan, involved refusing to fight the war the tyrant was prepared to fight, knowing that the rigid military structure of the enemy inherently prevented them from adapting rapidly to an unconventional threat. The constant presentation of new forms of warfare negated the material and organizational advantage of the mercenary armies, wore them down, and ultimately defeated them.
- Claiming that the Israelis were only defending themselves at the aid flotilla is like claiming the Japanese were only defending themselves at Pearl Harbor!
- It is the nature of all rulers to see everything created for peace as a potential weapon of war.
- A US attack on the Egypt Democracy Movement is a US attack on Democracy itself!
- All terrorist actions are staged incidents, because acts of terror alienate the very people whose support the people blamed for the terror act need.
- “All your pussy are belong to us!” - Motto of the TSA
- You are standing in the street of your home town when suddenly a small child nearby explodes into a bloody froth. Is it a suicide bomber? Is it a drone strike? And to that child's parents, does it really matter? It is a random explosion that kills an innocent, and if one is an act of terror then so is the other.
- In history wars were about control of land. Today it is control of economies. Lines on maps don't matter.
- All terrorist actions are staged incidents, because acts of terror alienate the very people whose support the people blamed for the terror act need.
- All wars are stared with lies. If a ruler who wanted to start a war told his people the true reasons for that war the people would refuse to go along.
- People, once suckered into a war, will defend that war rather than admit they were suckers.
- Any ruler who decides to start a war has made the conscious decision to send a million of his own people to their deaths, for his own profit.
- A simple pile of stones with the power to drive all men mad. What is this strange contagious psychosis called religion? (on the Temple Mount strife)
