31 PICTURES THAT PROVE YEMEN HAS TURNED INTO HELL ON EARTH
Warning: these images are very raw, graphic, and painfully disturbing.
But I am posting this article this morning, because Americans need to see what is being done with their tax dollars, and in their name.
We need to have a national dialogue about the reality that the US military is assisting the Saudis in the following war crimes:
1. The assassination of non-combatants, including infants, children, women, and the medially fragile elderly.
2. The starving of Yemeni children, by assisting Saudi troops in closing the ports so no food aid can get in whatsoever, meaning that infants and children are dying of complications of malnutrition.
3. Aiding and abetting the spread of the scourge of cholera, which has now affected over half a million people in Yemen.
4. Using white phosphorous weapons in Yemen, which burn human skin to the bone, and for which there is no antidote.
5. Using depleted uranium weapons in Yemen, which are known to cause a spike in cancers, still births, and massive upticks in horrific birth defects.
In short, the US is guilty of colluding with Saudi Arabia in the commission or war crimes.
I do not know about you, but I am singularly unhappy at being the citizen of a country which so blatantly commits war crimes in Yemen, and thinks its actions will continue to happen under cover of a total press blackout, with impunity; so I would politely say to this government, "not any more!!"

(Anti Media) Societies pick and choose their outrage. What is one day considered barbaric is met with a collective yawn the next.
Unfortunately, for the innocent people of Yemen, the masses are completely uninterested in their current state of suffering. Maybe it’s because Western propaganda hasn’t sufficiently signaled in the direction of the misery and destruction facing the Yemeni people. Maybe it’s that the havoc is being carried out by Saudi Arabia and their cohorts, who are not only allies of the United States and the United Kingdom but also have the financial means to silence dissent in the West. Possibly, it’s that the U.S. and the U.K. are both backing the carnage on the ground in Yemen, not only via the providing of arms to the Saudi coalition but also providing military ground support.
Whatever the reason may be, the time has come for the world to wake up and realize there is more on planet earth than Donald Trump’s Twitter account.
Thousands upon thousands have been killed, maimed, or displaced in the Middle Eastern nation since the conflict began in 2015. Since April, 1,800 Yemenis have died from cholera and nearly 370,000 have contracted it. That figure is expected to rise to 600,000.
Below is a photographic glimpse of the anguish that has befallen the people and destroyed the country.
