10, June 2019 Jesus would be so proud!
Congress is becoming more and more irrelevant.
Their prime responsibility is to exercise due diligence when waging war. This
has been completely usurped by the White House who declared an “emergency” to
fast-track arms sales to Saudi Arabia.
The
emergency authorization allows Raytheon, a prime American Defense Contractor to
build highly secret smart bomb parts in Saudi Arabia. In a wonderful Christian
gesture, all is forgiven for the high crimes of 9/11 and the killing of
Khashoggi. I can hear the loud cheers from Trump supporters and Evangelicals
eager to share US weapons secrets with our great Saudi friends. I wonder
whether Jared Kushner received payment for his efforts or was this a gesture of
unselfish patriotism. These are the same Saudi’s who imprisoned women’s human right activist Loujain Al-Hathloul for her
demands on lifting the kingdom’s ban on female drivers and overhaul its
suffocating male “guardianship” system. She has been held in solitary
confinement and faced abuse, including electric shocks, flogging and threats of
sexual violence.
These
are the same Saudis who along with another of our great UAE partners pledged
$3bn aid money to prop up Sudan’s murderous militias fearful that the winds of
democracy might reach Riyadh and Abu Dhabi. Super Christian, Vice President Pence
must be so proud of our ongoing support for the Saudis who continue to kill
Yemini men, women and children in large numbers which I suppose dovetails with
our own great Christian values.
Jesus must be so proud!
