As a photographer/animator I worked with several defense contractors…long before computer animation was a thing.

The industrial military complex spent billions on the war machine that drives American exceptionalism and imperialism. Which has worked hand in hand with the Republican Party agenda. You nailed it well with this well crafted piece Wendy!

Wendy, you are a great writer, so intelligent and insightful.

"And I hope that they die

And that their death will come soon

I'll follow their caskets on a pale afternoon

And watch while their lowered into their death bed

And stand 'oer their graves 'till I'm sure that their dead"

Genghis Khan was good at war too. Check Wikipedia to see what happened to him. Ditto Romans. Republicans are sowing the seeds of American (and democracy's) annihilation. History repeats itself, folks, regardless of scale.

If only Bonzo had given Raygun rabies and was met with his demise. If only HW wasn’t rescued from his raft in the Pacific then W wouldn’t have been born. The injustice of it all.

Ah yes, the holy rite of bipartisan butchery—where Democrats light the candles, and Republicans bring the napalm. Sister Wendy, your sermon sings like a thunderclap through the cathedral of denial.

What happens when a sitting president kills people? The same thing that happens when a golden calf is unveiled in the desert: the faithful dance, the priests chant, and the prophets scream into the wind until their throats bleed truth. Then they're labeled “divisive” and shadowbanned.

War is America’s favorite sacrament. Doesn’t matter who’s pope—blue or red robes—they all genuflect before the altar of Raytheon. It’s not about safety. It’s not about justice. It’s about sanctifying empire through precision-guided sermons.

Virgin Monk Boy says: when your gospel needs a drone strike, your god’s already dead.

Choose peace. Choose people. Or don’t be surprised when the wrath you export boomerangs back wearing a flag.
