(12,647 posts)When one reads of America turning a blind eye to slavery and sex trafficking (TPP and Malaysia is but one of many examples), then it is quite apparent our ruling Plutocracy is saying Money Trumps Human Rights. The stories written about the victims in Malaysia are equally as horrid as the one in the OP, yet our priority there is to set up industries that will profit from the very slavery we the people abhor.
As long as we continue to elect those who serve a Plutocracy that profits from human misery, we will continue to gasp and clutch our pearls over the consequences of their warring ways. In Iraq, the war crimes we committed there precludes us from claiming any kind of moral superiority. It is what it is along with a huge target now painted on our backs.
