I am getting tired of simply blaming the United States for all the evils in the world. Not because I don’t believe that the US is responsible. I hold its diabolic government fully accountable for wars, invasions and military occupations. But that’s what a malevolent empire does, aided by a corrupt pack of advisors that lurk around its imperial court to satisfy their own selfish interests. No more, no less.
It is in the nature of a snake to poison you if it catches you unaware. But blaming the snake will not change its nature.
While we keep the empire at bay, I also think it is now time to focus on the morally depraved traitors that accept bribes and suborn, and turn against their own homeland and people. Yes, traitors. That’s what I call people who break any moral and ethical value by becoming deserters, renegades, enemies and betray their own people and values. Traitor is someone who breaks with their friends, comrades and co-citizens to benefit by serving another country.
Traitor is someone who feeds you to the venomous cold-blooded snake as a safeguard from its attack. It’s a despicable and criminal behavior that must be condemned. Dante reserved the Ninth Circle of his Inferno — the “lowest, blackest, and farthest from Heaven”— for the sin of treachery. The worst sinners, in his underworld, were the traitors—those who betrayed their loved ones, their country, and their God. Dante’s traitors are so cold-blooded that some of their souls are punished in hell even as they remain alive on earth.
We must fight back traitors by disclosing their actions. Our collective patience has a limit and we need to act collectively.
Traitors must be dealt with for conspiring against their own country and people. They must be fought back and resisted energetically by all means. Latin America has a long list of traitors. They wrap themselves up in a foreign flag. They overturn their own governments. They attempt to commit coup d’etat with violent criminal actions. They support the abuses and the hybrid war that the empire wages against their own nation.
They misinform and create false conditions to facilitate the intervention of the empire. They are willing to sell out national sovereignty and independence to the empire. They bribe workers with stolen money to sway their allegiance to the empire.
Traitors are called “VENDEPATRIA” in Spanish. They sell out their own homeland.
They must be stopped!!!
