Total Deception: US House Votes to ‘Enhance Stabilization of Conflict-Affected Areas and Prevent Violence and Fragility Globally’
The United States government, through arms including the US Department of State and the US Agency for International Development (USAID), has long been promoting violence and destruction in previously relatively peaceful and prosperous places around the world. It has done so through supporting sides in conflicts and stirring up conflicts in an effort to determine who governs — either seeking to prop up or overthrow national governments.
This week, the US House of Representatives passed by a voice vote a bill (HR 2116) titled the Global Fragility Act and carrying this short description of its intent: “To enhance stabilization of conflict-affected areas and prevent violence and fragility globally, and for other purposes.” Having been approved in the House, the bill now can proceed to consideration in the US Senate.
You might expect that the Global Fragility Act would, through actions such as placing limits on or defunding activities of the State Department and USAID, seek stop the US from intervening abroad. That would be a welcome development.
Unfortunately, things tend not to work that way in Washington, DC. In Washington DC “up” is “down” and, as George Orwell wrote about the dystopia in his novel 1984, “war” is “peace.” The Global Fragility Act is a bill to enable the US government to further “break” the world through, among other things, giving the State Department and USAID hundreds of millions of dollars a year to stir up more trouble and further attempt to control who governs in countries around the world.
I gave you an upvote, though I usually avoid doing so to posters who have plagiarised....
I think what you did wrong, you did out of ignorance.
You did provide links to the original content, but this is where you went wrong and why you could end up being hit by some people who love flagging others (they even get rewarded for it, instead of them having to pay for their nastiness).
Here is what you should have done: You should have read the article and written a commentary on what you read, in your own words, though quoting the source is allowed. Only once there was enough of your own thoughts provided, could quotes and the source link be acceptable.
So, you've had someone take the trouble to explain it to you - and if you need a further explanation, say so, but if you continue making posts like this one, you will soon give up on Steemit and lose the chance to be a member of a fairly good platform.
I wrote the article.
...and that is why you provided a link?
I think I was not clear. The para about you adding your own comments is not valid, I agree, but I am worried that you might get attacked anyway.
The flaggers at Steemit do not bother to look at who wrote the article. If a search shows the same article, then they flag it. Only the poster is allowed or listened to, so only you can deal with the problem.
It might be a good idea that you meet some of them at Discord and explain that the articles are yours. Then, even if they flag by mistake, they will undo their mistake.
The article was good, which is a reason why I upvoted, and I hope to read more.
If they do flag and are not reasonable, there are a number of more friendly and reasonable platforms linked to Steem....let me know if you need to move. I hope it does not come to that, as I do not want Steemit to die.
