God Help America

Did you know that US Government-Paid mer­ce­nar­ies at Dyn­Corp are in the busi­ness of procur­ing young boys to be raped by Pash­tun war­lords? (John Nova Lomax, Hous­ton Press, H/T Rav­ings of a Feral Genius.)

Dyn­Corp offi­cially denies that there was any­thing dirty going on.

You prob­a­bly didn’t  hear about it at the time because the Afghan gov­ern­ment for­mal­lly asked that our gov­ern­ment cover up the nothing-dirty-going-on, and our gov­ern­ment seems to have complied.

But the story broke via Wik­iLeaks and The Guardian, and the US legacy media have, of course, been all over it. Here’s the New York Times’s cov­er­age; here’s the Wash­ing­ton Post’s, and here’s CNN’s.

    At this point, noth­ing sur­prises me any­more. A few years ago this would have turned my hair white. Sadly, there is not a dark hair left on my head.

    Call me skep­ti­cal, but it’s hard for me to believe an Afghan diplo­mat would have been so con­cerned about cov­er­ing up an inno­cent dance per­for­mance at a party. Also hard to believe that such an event would cited as a rea­son to limit the US use of con­trac­tors in Afghanistan.

    All those that voted for Mr. Obama
    You deserve what’s com­ing! Watch the loss of the great­est med­ical care in the world has ever known dis­ap­pear! When your son, daugh­ter, brother, sis­ter, cousin, mom, dad or grand­mother get sick and need care, and can’t find any­one to pro­vide help. I hope you’ll recon­sider what you’ve cho­sen. And when GOD ALMIGHTY judges us for throw­ing Israel under the bus. You’ll under­stand why HE judges that. Or when GOD ALMIGHTY judges us because our pres­i­dent would rather sup­port gay mar­riage than a one man and one woman mar­riage. (What about Sodom and Gomor­rah?) Then as the Supreme Court judges leave the bench, watch who replaces them. That might also make you ques­tion your deci­sion. This elec­tion was big­ger than one man mak­ing promises he will not keep. (We’ve had many of those over the last 4 years). Do PRAY, ASK GOD TO FORGIVE YOU! JESUS IS FAITHFUL TO FORGIVE AND CLEANSE THOSE WHO ASK SINCERELY.
