Days Of Infamy

The Loss Of Our Humanity
-



-
Genocide is a crime that strips us all of something special. It deprives us of our shared sensitivities. Those emotions that make us human. The essence of what makes us special. It will undoubtedly always be with us.
-
Today we fight not for ourselves but for the memory of what we lost. Make no mistake about what this blog is. We call upon you to act. We make a call for action and not just your intentions. This blog is to make it impossible for you to deny the fact that deep inside you know what they have stolen from us.
-
In the 20th century we perfected the art of killing our own innocents. We destroyed the idea that war occurs on the battle field. It now rages in our homes, hearts, and minds. That is what genocide does to a people. It never goes away.
-
Today it lingers at the edge of society looking and waiting for a way in. It is at work in the fields of old Russian empire. In the desserts of the Middle East it is toiling away as the West turns it's head away. The stench of it's familiar breath is spreading. It needs only one thing... for good men to remain silent.
-
Armenia, Germany, Russia, Cambodia, Bulgaria, Kosovo, Serbia, The Americas, Greece, Turkey, Iran...
-
The list seems to never end. Virtually every nation has suffered from it's vile efforts. All peoples have been touched by it. All will now bear witness.
-
Let not one person say from now on that they did not know, that they were not made aware. We will scream till our voices fail us, till our throats bleed. We will never cease. We will never give up this fight.
