Chemical Attacks and Competition

Chemical attacks are hated and condemned even in war because their killing is indiscriminate, not to mention horrible.  In spite of that, this is how the game is played:

Say there are 100 poison chemicals that are effective in war, we in the West make all 100.

50 of these are "red line" warrants for regime change.  We sell all 50 of these forbidden chemicals to countries (well, they are dual use, you know they can be used in low dosage for killing bugs, high dosage for killing people.)  For example, Sarin.

The other 50 are not on any list, and we do not sell those.  We make them and use those in battle, but we do not sell them to the other side.
Technically speaking, napalm is “a mixture of naphthenic and aliphatic carboxylic acid”. I don’t know about you, but “a mixture of naphthenic and aliphatic carboxylic acid” sounds awfully “chemical” to me, and yet this weapon has been liberally used by the US army to incinerate soldiers (and luckless civilians) in many recent wars, including Gulf War 1.
Get it?  When we use our nasty, indiscriminate 50 chemicals in an attack, no problem.  If any else uses the 50 that happen to be banned, regime change.  It all depends which list of chemicals you draw from.  The ones we sell you, that you cannot use, or the ones we will not sell you, that we can and do use.

We have chemicals we use that we are not supposed to, but hey, mistakes were made, time to move on.  Here is Razia, whose village was not obedient enough to the USMilitary.  The situation called for phosphorus, both illegal and not sold to the other side.  The lucky ones were the other villagers who died.



Don't worry.  Our military hospitals have given her the very best care.  But the lesson to learn is if you just submit absolutely to American Authority, you have nothing to worry about.  Razia's injuries are all Razia's fault, you see, if you believe the USA politicians.

The USA is an active user of deadly banned-in-military-use chemicals, on our own people.  But it is always the fault of those who suffer the consequences, never the fault of those deploying the gas.
Although described as a non-lethal weapon for crowd control, many studies have raised doubts about this classification. As well as creating severe pulmonary damage, CS can also significantly damage the heart and liver.[11]Domestic police use of CS is legal in many countries, however, as the Chemical Weapons Convention prohibits only military use.
This technique of banning one thing for others while allowing its equivalent for ourselves is a technique we see time and again. In USA there is crack and cocaine, both used for purposes of self-medication, and each starts out from the coca leaf.  But in USA, Crack is distributed almost exclusively in the poor inner cities. Cocaine is almost exclusively sold in the wealthier neighborhoods.

As an aside, a Narc friend of mine surmised Crack was designed for the inner cities and welfare: highly addictive, fairly cheap ($10 a hit), with the curious effect that crack heads can go comatose for three days and not die.  They arise from the dead to take another hit.  From his experience, it did not matter if you were a welfare mom or a billionaire, it took every cent you have, and then your welfare payments forever. His hypothesis could be tested forensically because under ex-CIA director  and then Drug Czar VP George Bush, Crack showed up in late 1984 in New York and Los Angeles ghettos simultaneously.  It was an instant hit.   Arrest records and tracing back to the origin could be found out. But that is an aside...

So, given how popular the drug is in the ghetto....
The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 increased penalties for crack cocaine possession and usage. It mandated a mandatory minimum sentence of five years without parole for possession of five grams of crack; to receive the same sentence with powder cocaine one had to have 500 grams.[26]
One form bad, one form acceptable.  "They" must be punished for using what we sell them, "we" give ourselves a pass.  So if you are a "black" inner city dweller, the penalties for self-medicating are 100 to 1 times more severe with crack than coke.   So the wealthy can go on to be president of the USA after a coke bust, but an inner city "black" will go pick cotton on a Texas Prison farm after a crack bust.

Or, another way of looking at it, a personal quantity of Crack can earn you a mandatory spot in the picture above, while a dealer's quantity of coke can be pled away.   And you'd always been told the reason the "black" population of prisons was so high was because the "blacks" did a higher percentage of crimes.  No!  They are in prison because you believe "blacks" do a higher percentage of crime.

In a way, this is still a chemical attack on a population, isn't it?

"They" shop at Safeway and get stuffed with GMO and chemical-laden foods, "we" shop at Whole Foods and get gmo-free organics.  They get sick and have Obamacare inflicted upon them, we get an exception to RomneyObamacare, which is just the Tuskegee Experiments on steroids.

See the pattern?

None of this is secret.  Problem is we have competition,  Thirty-five years ago under Deng Xiaoping, China decided to compete with USA.  Jimmy Carter was president, and said bring it on.  Then came Reagan, George Bush as Vice-president. Then it all changed. We were once excellent competitors, but it seems we've elected to go into a downward spiral.

Today, USA tends to sell weapons to the bad guys, while China tends not to do so.  Part of competition is to develop moral authority, and that is expressed from the commanding heights.  Name a single instance of anyone in the commanding heights of the USA calling for restraint in the USA plans for an attack on Syria.  Not in media.  Not in Medicine.  Not in religion.  Not in labor.  Not in academia.  Not in politics.  No, we had to hear it from Communist China.  Former Communist Russia.  The Vatican.

Our foreign policy for the last 35 years has been isolationist, and it actually unified Communist China and the Vatican!  When a USA president says he will attack another country alone if he has to, to the applause of all in the commanding heights, then that is the apotheosis of isolationism.

Time for USA to do self-criticism, as the Communists would call it, or repent, as the Vatican would call it.  But we need to stop making war on other people, and stop making war in the form of chemical attacks on our own people.

Then we can get back to being competitive, and no longer isolationist.  I want to trade with Syrians, not the al-Qaeda terrorists USA wants to put in power.  I think the Christian churches established by Apostles should be unmolested as they have been under al Assad, not exterminated as they are under the USA allies.  I want to trade with Razia's father, not set his daughter on fire.
