After this post I made yesterday: Dark Cheney the Torturer in Chief is 4 Que Mala the Khameleon one of my readers sent me an email that said, “who cares.” Well, I care because the Cheniac killed my son with his crimes against humanity, for one. I realize that Casey was just one of his millions of victims, but he’s the one who I carried for nine months, gave birth to, and raised up for 24 years to become a victim of this absolute monster. My heart breaks for the devastation caused by the Cheniac. I care. We should all care. IMHO he, the entire Bush regime, including Bush should be rotting in prison or executed for war crimes and crimes against humanity—not celebrated because Orange Man Bad. It’s pathetic.

If we don’t care for ourselves, we should care for the hundreds of thousands of innocent babies killed by the beast, for profit and resource control We should care for another culture destroyed. We should care. Period.

Saying all this, Bernie Panders who is a pitiful and pitiless sycophant for the Democrippled half of the War Party doesn’t care. The only sh!ts he gives is for his access to the grift and graft of the establishment. He is so desperate for a hand pat from the classlessnGarbage People that he can disregard the death and destruction caused by the sneering devil.

I despair over the short memory span of this society. For example, it seems most people have already forgotten and moved on from the fact that the deep state tried to murder Donald Trump in July. It hasn’t even been two months. There has been a collective memory dump of the fact that Que Mala and a cohort of Garbage People coup’d the sitting POTUS to elevate her to candidate status.

Abu Graib in the early 2000s in headline news & online news
Nov. 23, 2003. SPC CHRISTOPHERSON is observing SPC AMBUHL giving a shot to a detainee. SOLDIER(S): SPC CHRISTOPHERSON and SPC AMBUHL. U.S. Army / Criminal Investigation Command (CID). Seized by the U.S. Government. Date Taken on 23 November 2003

Apparently, Bernie Panders has forgotten that the party he is swimming in the cesspool for used every dirty trick up their sleeves to undermine, co-opt, and end his primary candidacy in the 2016 and 2020 election cycles. I am not saying he would have been better, because, obviously he would have not done much differently. After the Democrippled attacks against him, Panders defended and supported his abusers.

Cindy Lee Sheehan is an American anti-war activist, whose son, U.S. Army Specialist Casey Sheehan, was killed by enemy action during the Iraq War. She attracted national and international media attention in August 2005 for her extended antiwar protest at a makeshift camp outside President George W. Bush’s Texas ranch—a stand that drew both passionate support and criticism. Sheehan ran unsuccessfully for Congress in 2008. She was a vocal critic of President Barack Obama’s foreign policy. Her memoir, Peace Mom: A Mother’s Journey Through Heartache to Activism, was published in 2006. In an interview with The Daily Beast in 2017, Sheehan continued to hold her critical views towards George W. Bush, while also criticizing the militarism of Donald Trump.

Ms.Sheehan was the 2012 vice-presidential nominee of the Peace and Freedom Party, and received 1.2% of the statewide vote in the 2014 California gubernatorial election.

Notes from APS Radio News

According to Wikipedia, Mr. Cheney was a strong advocate for the invasion of Iraq and led the Bush administration’s policies with respect to what was called “The War on Terror”.

He was a proponent of torture, reputedly in the context of interrogations, according to the reference at Wiki:

“He was an early proponent of invading Iraq, alleging that the Saddam Hussein regime possessed weapons of mass destruction program and had an operational relationship with Al-Qaeda; however, neither allegation was ever substantiated. He also pressured the intelligence community to provide intelligence consistent with the administration’s rationales for invading Iraq. Cheney was often criticized for the Bush administration’s policies regarding the campaign against terrorism, for his support of wiretapping by the National Security Agency (NSA) and for his endorsement of the U.S.’s “enhanced interrogation” torture program.”

About the former Vice President, in an article published in 2006, Human Rights Watch wrote:

“If Iran or Syria detained an American, Cheney is saying that it would be perfectly fine for them to hold that American’s head under water until he nearly drowns, if that’s what they think they need to do to save Iranian or Syrian lives,” said Tom Malinowski, Washington advocacy director for Human Rights Watch.

Amnesty International wrote about examples and instances of US-sponsored and US-implemented torture.
