The Jesuits I Know Who

The Sponsors Of War Closely Resemble The Weapons They Create. And Smart Bombs, Depleted Uranium, Land Mines, Rockets And Tanks, Rather Than Protect 'widows And Orphans And Strangers At The Gate', Are Designed Precisely To Create 'widows And Orphans', To Transform Strangers Into Enemies And Enemies Into Corpses.

Every Nation-state Tends Towards The Imperial - That Is The Point. Through Banks, Armies, Secret Police, Propaganda, Courts And Jails, Treaties, Taxes, Laws And Orders, Myths Of Civil Obedience, Assumptions Of Civic Virtue At The Top. Still It Should Be Said Of The Political Left, We Expect Something Better. And Correctly. We Put More Trust In Those Who Show A Measure Of Compassion, Who Denounce The Hideous Social Arrangements That Make War Inevitable And Human Desire Omnipresent; Which Fosters Corporate Selfishness, Panders To Appetites And Disorder, Waste The Earth.
