A rational person would think that the people of a country should be the ones deciding if their country should go to war.

I’ve asked everyone I know if they want to go to war with Russia or anyone else, and they’ve said “no.”

So why is this decision left up to our so-called representatives in Congress who are paid by lobbyists working for the military industrial complex? This is insane. Our representatives are not listening to us or working for us. They are being paid by special interests of the war machine.

This is shameful.

It is important that the public be informed as to what those in our government are doing. Our corporate media won’t tell us, so we have to rely on independent sources.

Wikileaks just released a 2014 email from Hillary Clinton to John Podesta, written when she was secretary of state. She told Mr. Podesta that the governments of Saudi Arabia and Qatar were supporting ISIS, both logistically and financially. This, while the U.S. sold billions of dollars in weapons to them and Hillary received millions from them for her foundation.

This is “pay to play,” in no uncertain terms.

People, please get informed so the corruption in our government will end.
