Media brainwash. Russia invades Ukraine is the top news. But iraq invasion, they didn't even call invasion.

USA can easily ruling whole world with their TV shows--media because many human beings on earth were brainwashed by media. That's why millions, nope, billions and billions people were believed Iraq have WMDs--Weapons of Mass Destruction--idea were quite likely from the DC comics or marvel comics or some Hollywood film. * I can't link my writing about brainwashing thing here.

You don't care if USA invasion so many countries. But Russia attking only one country. All the people were caring.

I didn't even watch TV news and read newspaper. But I did know this - USA has banned 7 Muslim countries which USA is currently bombing 5 of them and.... @ January 29, 2017

 

Humanrights?

Nope. Human rights based on what medias were told you to have.

Here is proof:

Don't get me wrong. I'm not supporting any of war or invasion. I just hope that people should more aware what's really happening in our planet--our earth.

Not just what media told you to believe.

Here is the some of tweets, I found it in twitter, randomly:

Weather it's Russia or USA or Israel or China, they are all the same.What all they do is just invade in small powerless country, take their land, take their wealth and make them slave. Isn't this what they do? So basically it's world vs these certain countries#russianinvasion

Both(Iraq and Ukrainian)wars were needless and the media should condemn both, but the British media are speaking from both sides of their mouth. Praised the Iraq invasion and now condemning the Ukrainian invasion.

In the first day of iraq invasion, 1000s were killed including civilians. So it was a much more violent and ruthless invasion than Russia's....

If Russia does it—"invasion".
If US does it—"liberation".
If China does it (to India)—"misperception".
If Bangladesh does it (to India)—"immigration".

If India even thinks about it—"aggression".

If Britain does it—"civilization". https://t.co/BgNtLQnBhK

Iraq invasion - I strongly suggest to watch 'Why We Fight' documentary.

My friend shared this:

If you can't see the embeded video, you can click here--Shock and awe - by Novara Media at March 20, 2019 - Facebook video
 

 

 "the war on Iraq began." No. You should write "Iraq invasion began".

So I googling about it. And found this interesting article - Why did Bush go to war in Iraq? | Iraq | Al Jazeera @ March 20, 2019 by Ahsan I Butt.
Author quoted interesting writing so I am quoting, too:

In a 2002 column, Jonah Goldberg coined the "Ledeen Doctrine", named after neoconservative historian Michael Ledeen. The "doctrine" states: "Every ten years or so, the United States needs to pick up some small crappy little country and throw it against the wall, just to show the world we mean business."

I was interested because I know USA kept attacking other country.
I wrote this before - USA has banned 7 Muslim countries which USA is currently bombing 5 of them and.... @ January 29, 2017


If you wanted to know the reason--probably just one part though, I strongly suggest to watch 'Why We Fight' documentary.

There has interesting story, too. So I'm quoting about it:
quoted from Why We Fight (2005 film) - Wikipedia

The producer's list included "more than a dozen organizations, from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation to the United Kingdom's BBC, Estonia's ETV and numerous European broadcasters" but no U.S. names.
....
Writer and director Jarecki said "serious examination of Eisenhower and the aftermath of his speech proved 'too radical' for potential American funders for his film" and except for Sundance, he "could not raise a dollar in the U.S."

I found other interesting idea from Why We Fight official website (sonyclassics.com) - Q&A with Eugene Jarecki - About the film
Quoted from Q&A with Eugene Jarecki:

Why do you think we are fighting in Iraq?
Many reasons. There have been so many reasons given for why we are in Iraq - from WMDs to oil, from a democratic crusade to the desire by influential geostrategists to reassert American global power in the wake of 9/11. None of these answers alone is comprehensive. Rather, I think they're all partially true. The war seems to have been of shared service to a range of interests - a coming together of imperial thinkers, global petroleum concerns, and a culture of militarism that tilts toward/requires war to self-perpetuate. After 9/11 all of these came together to create the almost unexplainable momentum that pushed the country to war.

Men+guns or Toddlers+guns...Everything is about blame game in USA.

Previously, I wrote this - It's about Men + violence. If so, must be about Toddler + violence? Wrong idea about gender equality issue. @ October 6, 2017

This tweet probably slightly different than previous tweet. But it has same purpose--trying to point out the gender equality issue. So it was same thing.

Either guns are the problem or men are, and we're getting rid of one, so, what's it gonna be?

Here is what I wrote--retweeted about it:

I didn't read but here is the link of news:

Almost all other country--any city, don't need celebrate for that matter. Because everyday, we don't kill each other---for no reason.

It's about Men + violence. If so, must be about Toddler + violence? Wrong idea about gender equality issue.

I saw this tweet:

Women have high rates of mental illness but women are almost never mass shooters. This isn't about mental illness. Its about Men + violence.

— J. M. Black (@johannamayblack) October 2, 2017

And I felt 'it wasn't bad thought' but I don't think it can help gender equality issue or can help reduce gun violence in USA.


So I will simply prove 'why that is':

Fact: Toddlers Killed More Americans than Terrorists in 2015.

That facts are true. So base on the fact, I can say that it's about toddler + violence.

So does make sense to you?


So how it will help gender equality issue? And how it can reduce gun violence in USA?

Gangnam subway station, so much space for making money, so little space for the people--toilet

This is Sinbundang line's Gangnam subway station.
You have to wait for the using the toilet because very small toilet and this area was one of busiest and crowded area in Seoul.

Compare to the toilet, as you can see the photo that huge public area and those places were filled up with huge advertisement--screen.





Korean version 한글 - 비싼 신분당선. 비싼 땅속 강남땅. 그래서 화장실은 줄서서 이용. @ March 3, 2017




P.S. This can be one example about the capitalism. Here they think about 'money comes first' so they don't think about anything else. Only put more place for the making money.
Who spent money there? Who was watching those advertisement? People, right?
So if you want to make people to spend money, you have to make convenient and comfortable place for the people.

Why I wrote this blog post, you think? Because they thought about 'making money only, nothing else'.

Simply I can put this as bad product. Do you think bad product can make good profit?
If you think that, I don't have anything say to you. Stop reading my writings please.

It's not capitalism problem. More and more people are only focusing on the money.

Terrorism facts are there. But nobody believe or can see that.

This is my initial thought on this:

Figure was there probably 10+ years. But strangely nobody knew about it.

It was very strange. Because whenever some mass shooting(or similar thing) was happening in United States of America, I am hearing it's terrorist attack--probably all the time.
I don't really read any newspaper or news websites but I still get the news from my facebook or twitter timeline.
Also I can see so many blame going on toward to Muslim.


But once in a while, I saw this kind of post:

This is actually nothing new because it probably has been there after 9/11.
Here is the other one that I've seen it before--at least, a few years ago.

src: BBC News - Guns in the US: The statistics behind the violence @ 5 January 2016

Source: Guns in the US: The statistics behind the violence - BBC News @ 5 January 2016

Those stats were all came from government so it was very reliable source.

I can't remember when I've seen similar one before. (I'm not digging up this time.) But every year government release that stats so I can guess--probably exist around 2012 or 2013.


More recent one you can easily find in CNN website:

This is tweet from CNN:

Gun violence was almost 1,000+ times more but they don't seem to bother....

1,000+ times more were exclude year 2001 stats. Include year 2001--it became 100+ times more.

BBC news said like this:

According to figures from the US Department of Justice and the Council on Foreign Affairs, 11,385 people died on average annually in firearm incidents in the US between 2001 and 2011.
In the same period, an average of 517 people were killed annually in terror-related incidents. Removing 2001, when 9/11 occurred, from the calculation produces an annual average of just 31.
quote from Guns in the US: The statistics behind the violence - BBC News @ 5 January 2016

And you can read BBC's article--Guns in the US: The statistics behind the violence - BBC News @ 5 January 2016, which you can find about the statistics behind violence--such as mass shootings, school shootings, homicide rate, etc.

So above figure prove this statement was right:

Gun violence and terrorism: The US spends more than a trillion dollars per year defending itself against terrorism, which kills a tiny fraction of the number of people killed by ordinary gun crime.
quote from Guns in the US: The statistics behind the violence - BBC News @ 5 January 2016

Gun violence stats

If you do google search about gun violence, you can get this kind of result:

How many people are killed each year by guns?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2013, there were 73,505 nonfatal firearm injuries (23.23 per 100,000 U.S. citizens); 11,208 homicides (3.5 per 100,000); 21,175 suicides; 505 deaths due to accidental/negligent discharge of a firearm; and 2818 deaths due to firearms-use with "undetermined ...

you can go Gun Violence Archive website and see it yourself.

And you can see year summary from Past Summary Ledgers in Gun Violence Archive website.

Now is year 2017 and one month was passed. As you can see their homepage--incidents were more than five thousands already.

screenshot of Gun Violence Archive website.

So you think those people were all killed by terrorist--Muslim?



I will keep this screenshot of past year's stats--for just in case.

These thoughts are all connected my previous writings:

...just sit there and let some rich men ruled whole country?

I've seen this tweet from @MelissaStetten:

https://twitter.com/MelissaStetten/status/825928110130421760

So I re-tweeted with this:

If government won't listen people, what they do?
Just sit there! Let some rich men ruled whole country? That's what you call democratic.

I wrote those yesterday afternoon. And I'd like to write about it so I was checking the source--tweet. But twitter said unavailable.

And I found that @aubrey_huff deleted tweet: Exclusive: Ex-Giants slugger Aubrey Huff apologizes for Twitter rant that began with pro-Trump tweet @ January 30, 2017.


I think it was lucky that I copied whole thing.


Anyway, march, protest and riot were part of democratic act, you know.
You probably don't believe riot wasn't democratic act but it is. Think about this: If president do things like dictator or king, people will go crazy, right? So if that happens, what angry(crazy) people will do, you think?

USA has banned 7 Muslim countries which USA is currently bombing 5 of them and....

One of my friend share this post from Muslims Are Not Terrorists facebook page:

screenshot from Muslims Are Not Terrorists facebook page

USA has banned 7 Muslim countries which includes Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Libya, Sudan and Somalia.
USA is currently bombing 5 of them and killed more than 1 million of them.
Source: https://www.facebook.com/MANTofficial/photos/a.210236958572.162395.206186953572/10155008927833573/

I was surprised. I probably can see those countries but I'm not sure about the figure. So I did some digging--not much though.

It looked like hard to find exact figure--I did very simple googling so I couldn't find, maybe.
Even if it was there nobody can tell exact figure because bombing--invasion is still going on.

But one thing I can say is those figure could be probably right because America dropped 26,171 bombs in 7 countries--it's not recent 4 to 5 years figure. Just last year alone--2016.

• Scary Fact: America Dropped 26,171 Bombs in 7 Countries in 2016 by Micah Zenko, Jennifer Wilson @ January 6, 2017
• How Many Bombs Did the United States Drop in 2016? @ January 5, 2017
• Trump plans to block visas from seven Muslim-majority countries. The US is currently bombing five of them by Aamna Mohdin @ January 26, 2017
• U.S. Dropped 23,144 Bombs on Muslim-Majority Countries in 2015 by Adam Johnson @ January 10, 2016

If you dropped a bomb, do you think it was perfectly possible with zero civilian casualty? Of course, it was always possible in Hollywood movie.
If you think that, I don't have anything to say to you. Don't read my writings please.

Not just 10 or 20.
Or 100 or 1,000 bombs.
It's 26,171 bombs in 2016.

In 2015, 23,144 bombs.

That's why I wrote this before: If your society isn't so barbaric, how come your country always attacking other country? @ December 24, 2013

And this:

misconception about other country – story continue from The Image Hollywood Created of Africa @ December 5, 2015

Don't complain they are in dictatorship or inequality issue. You have your own inequality issue and dictatorship–through media brainwashed people and control them. You can't solve your country’s problem but you can solve other country's problem???
That's why you are brainwashed by media.

So 'invasion', we called 'war'.

misconception about other country – story continue from The Image Hollywood Created of Africa

Originally I wrote this in my wordpress blog at December 5, 2015.
I moved to that wordpress blog because strange Koreans who read my Korean blogs(about learn English properly and other things) came to this blog for complain about my English--because Korea's English education systems are completely corrupted.

Now I am thinking about getting back here to continue. So I will write here.

article from The Image Hollywood Created of Africa | Films For Action


Part of reason is this: Majority people never even been to other country or they never meet people from other country. So they have no idea what it's like living in another world–another country. But media and some stupid propaganda making this huge misconception–that some country's people are inhuman or even call them as 'evil'.

Cultural differences became some kind of demonized act. These things, some political leader and media take advantage of it–no, unfortunately these people also brainwashed by media. So they think other country or other culture are evil so they have to destroy–correct them.

Don't complain they are in dictatorship or inequality issue. You have your own inequality issue and dictatorship–through media brainwashed people and control them. You can't solve your country's problem but you can solve other country's problem???
That’s why you are brainwashed by media.

So 'invasion', we called 'war'.





P.S. A few other factors:
– Travelling to other country doesn't mean understand other country's culture–some people know very little about other culture but they said they knew everything.
– Simple fact, media (and government agency) keep reporting that it's dangerous to travel some country. Think about the other side, if that country is so dangerous, how people live there? Have you ever even thought about this? We are all human being, after all. They are not evil, you know.
– Think about this. Do you think people will even read this? Just unknown guy's talk, why do people even bother, right?
And do you think people believe what I said? Or people will believe what newspaper, TV and magazine said.
Whatever it is, in the end, people will listen and believe (even follow them) what famous newspaper, magazine, TV said.
Unfortunately, that is the fact.

And this misunderstanding, misconception will continue.

Don't get me wrong. I am not big fan of some of Muslim's practice like women must wear hijab and other dress code and etc. (I actually don't like it but at least I am respecting their choices.)
And you can argue or discuss about it also fine. But if you talking like that kind of practice is pure barbaric thing to do, that's seriously wrong with your society. (Should I talk about how barbaric western's Catholic is? Try to research what Pope or priest done things. You can't solve the your problem but you are so right to attacking other religion?)

(Of course, that's how media brainwashed to the people with tagline 'Muslim is Evil'. And start invasion.)

So if your society isn't so barbaric, how come your country always attacking other country?
This world became more more pathetic.

I wrote this because I heard when someone describe about the practice with so much hatred in it and surprisingly talk show's host completely agree on that–It means their producer and people and their channel agree that it is right to hate the Muslim, isn't it?



I wrote this at 8:42pm 12 December 2013 in my facebook account here.



P.S. Many of western media attacking Muslim. And then so deceivingly put slogan like 'world peace'. Are you kidding me?

Of course, most problem is people fell for it.
