DiaryOfAWorm: Herods of Today


Victim of U.S. Drone attack
in Pakistan

Today, Jan. 6th, is the Feast of the Epiphany, the coming out event of the baby Jesus as represented in the story of three kings. When Harold, the Rome appointed King of the Jews got wind that the Messiah or Savior was born he put word out to kill all male children under the age of two. Mary and Joseph had an early warning system, an angel, and were able to escape with the baby Jesus to Egypt. However all boys under the age of two were killed and after Christmas we have a day to remember the ‘Holy Innocents’.

This year, on this feast day of the Holy Innocents, a number of followers of the way of Jesus, conducted nonviolent actions at three US sites responsible for killing of innocent children, the Killer Drone base near Tucson, Ax, at the STRATCOM military base in Omaha and at the defense department in Washington D.C. The Holy Innocents in this case were the thousands of children killed in US wars, like the 168 plus children who have died by Killer Drones in Pakistan, a county we are not at war with.

The Herods of today are the political, military and corporate leaders who profit from the killing of the innocent. .
