rage against the machine - bullet in the head [speech] - 2022-08-02

I don’t know about you this evening but every time I turn on the news lately it seems that Congress is passing another $100 billion arms package, building more weapons, sending them to Europe, sending them to Saudi Arabia, sending them to Israel, sending them all over the world to cause nothing but death and destruction for no just cause. Especially at a time when all the people here in the US are starting to hurt worse and worse. And they find every bit of money to pay for some new weapon but can’t pass a bill to support a shortage of baby formula for children who need it. This ain’t just about administrations. It’s about the way capitalism functions for just the ruling class and abandons everyone else. And it’s kind of ugly nationalism in wait. Tomorrow, at Upper Senate Park, there is a group gathering of Veterans For Peace. That’s people who fought in wars, they realized they were unjust, they came home to atone, and stand with everybody who suffered under the military power of the United States. We’re asking that all of you join them there. They need your support. They need your help. And they need you to take the bullet from your head. @rageagainstthemachine 2022-08-02 Washington, DC Audio by Sean Sullivan
