EXTREMISM

By: Joe Okera Valentine

"The question is not whether we will be extremists, but [underlined text begins] WHAT KIND [end of underlined text] of extremists we will be. Will we be extremists for the preservation of injustice, or will we be extremists for the [underlined text begins] CAUSE OF JUSTICE [end of underlined text]?"

-- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

On February 18, 2015, the Obama Administration participated in what was described as "A Conference on Violent Extremism" with one of the aims being to develop strategies geared towards creating improved socio-economic conditions, since these negative realities are said to be at the root of motivating disenfranchised - as if somehow it is merely these elements who are profoundly disaffected by a hopeless future - people becoming "radicalized," "lone-wolves," and joining extremist groups like Al Qaeda, ISIS, Boko Haram Al Shabazz, etc.
Now, before I delve into the blatant hypocrisy at this agenda and program, the important question for us to pose is: "IS THE UNITED STATES' COLOR-CARNAGE MILITARY MACHINE VIOLENTLY EXTREME?" Was the decimation of MILLIONS of Vietnamese, Koreans, Cambodians, etc., by the United States' carpet bombings violently
