TWEETS OF THE WEEK

With news this week of an American Journalists death in Iraq, people are questioning IS motives and the role the UK and US has had in the state Iraq is now in. We have seen a spread of terror being used by States to oppress dissenters from the US to Nigeria, whilst using the “threat” of terrorism to instil a heightened sense of fear within the people.

War on terror is basically #Ferguson writ large. Why torture? Why GTMO? Why drones? IMO, answer is simple, racism.

How US justifies killing citizens: 1) Eye for eye (death penalty) 2) War on Terror (CIA drone strikes) 3) Police work (racist murders)
