You don’t have to support Hamas, Hezbollah, or Houthi rebels to ask a basic question: Why does the U.S. military get a free pass for bombing healthcare infrastructure? Every time a foreign enemy targets civilians, the media screams genocide. But when it’s us — or our allies — we call it a “tragic mistake.”

That’s not journalism. That’s state-sponsored cover-up.

A “Mistake” with a Pattern

In 2015, the U.S. bombed a Doctors Without Borders hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan, killing 42 civilians. The strike lasted 30 minutes. Staff begged for mercy over the radio. The coordinates had been shared in advance. It wasn’t a mistake — it was a war crime.

In Yemen, the story continues. According to the Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition, at least seven airstrikes by the U.S.-backed Saudi coalition damaged health facilities in 2022 alone — including hospitals, clinics, and ambulances. These weren’t isolated mishaps. They were part of a calculated, ongoing strategy in a war built on impunity and silence.

But you didn’t hear about it, did you?

Because when a U.S.-backed military operation hits healthcare infrastructure, the press shrugs. When the enemy does it? Headlines. Hashtags. Heartbreak.

The Media Only Cares When the Enemy Is Convenient

The corporate press doesn’t care about saving lives — they care about selling wars. If civilian casualties hurt U.S. strategic goals, they’re hidden. If they help justify intervention, they’re paraded as humanitarian outrage. You are being manipulated — not informed.

Ask yourself: Why hasn’t the Pentagon been held accountable for Kunduz? Why did Biden continue arming Saudi Arabia while their air force bombed clinics and maternity wards in Yemen? Why does the same media that cries over Gaza stay silent about U.S. strikes that devastate entire regions?

Because “humanitarianism” is just the mask the empire wears before it strikes.

📢 Don’t buy the selective outrage. If war crimes are wrong, they’re wrong no matter who pulls the trigger.
Expose the hypocrisy. Share the truth. Hold every government — including your own — accountable.

🛑 Because the next “mistake” might be your child’s hospital.

Tariffs: The Hidden Tax That Politicians Use to Bankrupt You in the Name of 'National Pride'

They tell you tariffs are about protecting American workers. That’s a lie. In reality, tariffs are just taxes — taxes that you pay every time you shop, build, or even try to survive. When the government slaps a tariff on foreign goods, it’s not China or Mexico footing the

The Rise of the Administrative State: Who Really Runs America?

Forget the president. Forget Congress. If you think elected officials run this country, you’re living in a fantasy. The real power lies with unelected bureaucrats, buried deep inside federal agencies, immune to elections, and accountable to no one. This isn’t a fringe theory — it’s the backbone of

The Patriot Act: A 20-Year Assault on the American Mind

Do you still think you’re “free”? That your texts, calls, or browser history aren’t stored in some government vault, waiting to be weaponized? Think again. It’s been over two decades since the U.S. government signed away your privacy under the guise of national security — and the

Foreign Aid or Foreign Bribery? The Real Cost of ‘Defending Democracy’

When Washington says it's "defending democracy," brace yourself — someone's about to get bombed, bribed, or both. Foreign aid isn't about charity. It’s not about peace. It’s not even about diplomacy anymore. It’s about control — and your tax dollars are
