DiaryOfAWorm: "Dirty Wars"

All four rims on backboard at Doyne Park resurrected for basketball. Time for a Time Out


Tonight Pat, Jerry, our house guest, and I went to see “Dirty Wars”. dThe movie is about an investigative reporter, Jeremy Scahill from Milwaukee, uncovering a secret army being directed by White House into the heart of America’s covert wars, from Afghanistan to Yemen, Somalia and beyond.

It takes bits and pieces of what we know about these covert wars in over 40 countries that are leading us into endless wars and puts the picture together. He graphically portrays on the film how convert US Army is creating more and more terrorist and wars each day.

My reaction after seeing such a devastating film like this is to just move on, to the next story, the next talk or film. My response is to let the film sink in my bones and in some small way throw a small wrench in the military machine that can destroy us all.

This movie motivates me more to expose the Department of Defense military training that Marquette host for the five county metro areas. The type of senseless killing, killing without conscience is what Marquette teaches. How do we expose this military madness being taught in Departments of Army, Navy/Marines and Air Force? The war we seen on the screen starts here at home and it feeds on our silence and fear.

July 15, 2013, the date of the aggressive scapegoat defense at my trial with Marquette University will also be ROTC Recognition Day at Marquette. In the Marquette Security guard report to the police the thousands of people who have protested ROTC on campus since 1969 are called “unapproved ant-war protestors.” Marquette needs to face and recognize its role in the “Dirty Wars”.
