WAFF (We Are For Freedom)

A candidate made a speech the other day, and, like all other government officials and would-be officials, stated emphatically that ”We Are For Freedom” (hereafter referred to as WAFF.)

WAFF appears to be an obligatory phrase. What else are they to say, We serve corporate demands for profit and control? Surely you didn’t expect them to inject truth into WAFF and say:

We invaded Iraq, killed over one million people, destroyed the home of four million, spread hatred and baby-deforming radiation because WAFF.

We invaded Afghanistan and have been killing the people there for over 15 years because WAFF.

We destroyed Libya and continue to bomb and kill there because WAFF.

We are devastating Syria because WAFF.

We are supplying and supporting our good friends the Saudis while they massacre the people of Yemen because WAFF.

We have always and will continue to support and pamper our vicious jackal on a leash (Israeli) in its attempt to annihilate the Palestinians because WAFF.

We fill our private prisons with poor people (mostly of color) and treat them as slave because WAFF.

We don’t pay our workers enough to survive because WAFF.

We continue to impoverish just about everyone, everywhere in order to pour more money into the bulging bank accounts of our wealthiest citizens because WAFF.
