To the Editor:

A rickety boat with 40+ plus immigrants left some country in Africa for Europe.  Running into turbulent seas the boat sunk and a 11 year old girl wearing a life jacket was the only survivor latching onto a tire tube.  The seas were at least 12 feet high and she clung to that tube for 4 days before being picked up by a cargo ship whose crew heard the girl’s screams over their engine noise.  She is hospitalized and it’s unknown her condition since she had no food or water those 4 days.  

Hugh Hewitt is trying to find the girl’s identity and where she is.  He talked about establishing a Go Fund Me site since it’s assumed her whole family perished.  Hugh does a lot of humanitarian fund raisers….his current Xmas one is for children of parent (s) incarcerated and providing their children a Christmas gift from that parent.  The stories from past recipients are heartwarming.

Murder unacknowledged

To the Editor:

Is murder sanctioned by and through the government on behalf of greed acceptable?  Does anyone doubt that war is bad for the planet? Bad for the soldiers, bad for the children, bad for the mothers and grandmothers? Does anyone doubt war is fueled by immoral and unnatural profiteering? A god delusion that one human may kill maim and destroy another democratically? Does anyone doubt that the elite who act against Nature and Humanity with weapons of greed, should have THEIR behavior described as cold-blooded murder? They injure, torture and kill without hindrance. 

How can one be cold blooded to act without reward to stop murder for greed? The CEO killer delivered the death penalty for a representative of murderous greed. He has a fan club because his act was RED-BLOODED, not cold blooded. American law and the American Government is designed and built to support corporate murder for greed. It surrenders the wellbeing of humanity and Nature to coldblooded evil at every turn. 

Shall I list a short number of cold-blooded corporate activities designed to extract more control by killing? 

1.        Round up with its murderous glyphosate is killing the planet and the people. Despite juries delivering multi-billion dollar judgements, the stuff sits on shelves in every hardware and feed store in Vermont. Those billions in judgements are included as the “cost of doing business”

2.        Cold blooded congress removes liability for Big Pharma, killing untold numbers. 

3.        How about cold-blooded killing of Nature and blaming the people? Elite suppress existing energy technologies that would clean our planet in a few short years, is that not murder by another name? 

4.        Our Vermont elite legislature is mandating that more children in the Congo will die in Cobalt mines for the clean heat standard, is that not murder by race? They want you in cars designed to be hackable.  Do you doubt that some poor Vermonters will be murdered by the ‘clean heat standard’ which is not clean at all? The clean heat standard is standing with corporate greed pretending to be good.

5.        How about poor Vermonters that committed suicide from the lockdowns that deprived them of their right to life in community? That was a form of murder, where the Government violated the truth on behalf of murderous elites.

6.         Some Vermonters were murdered early by the shots and others have heart issues and reproductive harms?  The mandated shots and remdesivir, intubators and lockdowns were executed in cold blood knowing there were safe remedies.

They may have been carried out in ignorance, however, those at the top knew very well. It was a deliberate war that was preplanned in bioweapon labs that were funded, not destroyed. Funded by the theft by taxes from the people these weapons are intended to murder. That, my friend is cold blooded.  Actual covid remedies are cheap and available, and the corporate dragon monster roared against them, burning the licenses and reputations of those doctors who warned and informed.     

7.        How about billions and billions to kill, maim, harass and destroy homes and communities in distant lands, while government leaders shout over their shoulder that peace is the aim? Do you ever get more peace with someone you act violently against? 

Does there come a time when we understand that violent corporatists cannot be stopped by the systems they themselves invent, manage and control? 

8.        How about migrant children moved with a stealth and deliberate evil to die during adult rape, murder and organ seizure?  Or remain enslaved, funded by a cold blooded republican led house that increases funding for NGO’s trafficking of migrant children because the elite that blackmail them, need to feed a furnace of hell on earth?  

Thus I bristle, at the public lie to name of this man’s act as cold blooded, while leaving the truth of it behind. His murderous act was a red-blooded response to the cold blooded monster of corporatism, where acts of malfeasance against humanity and nature are EXPECTED, SANCTIONED and DEMANDED by ‘shareholders’ and ENCOURAGED and PROTECTED by government sanction. 

His act was red-blooded because he did it to help stop the monster of greed, not to be greedy himself. He acted from red blooded passion for Life on Earth, to help deliver humanity from the evil that violates this earth and its people in the form of corporatism. The cold blooded, baby raping elites cannot be stopped by the ‘justice’ system they own, they will never be jailed in the prisons they fill for profitability and cheap labor. These greediest and their armies of employees are protected by mere words of statutes written in service of unjust greed.  

I know there is a peace filled path ahead for humanity to reclaim moral prosperity. However, to get there, truth must be spoken. The fact is, cold-blooded murder is the intent and outcome of corporate elitists, it is also the current outcome of Vermont and US government policy.
