War is the ultimate LIE

"We know that dictators are quick to choose aggression, while free nations strive to resolve differences in peace." George W. Bush UN Speech Sept 2004

War ... should only be declared by the authority of the people, whose toils and treasures are to support its burdens, instead of the government which is to reap its fruits. : James Madison (1751–1836)

We Americans have no commission from God to police the world: Benjamin Harrison, address to Congress, 1888

"Victory means exit strategy, and it's important for the President to explain to us what the exit strategy is." : Texas Governor George W. Bush, April 9, 1999, on the US intervention in Kosovo

Lisa’s journey had opened her eyes to the reality of war.

A cursory study of history away from the slants and views as pushed forward by the media and governments leads to seeing the profiteers, the beneficiaries and those who gained and those who paid the highest price. But were wars a front to create emotional angst rather than profit?

War has only ever benefited the rich and powerful by way of arms sales and looting of the vanquished nation’s natural resources and labor. Every recent war has replaced the reasons of religious domination and territorial dispute with financial and corporate ‘strategic interests’.

Lisa fully saw how all the patriotism and flag waving hypnosis over many years conditioned citizens of all powerful countries into either being complicit or SILENT in the face of embarking on attacks of innocent countries. The lead ups to such murderous adventures are always the same yet the people swallow the same lines again and again. And if perchance the electorate feels powerless to put a stop to the madness, why is it then that they in their own madness and apathy that re-elect the same evil doers back in! Are they afraid to lose their own addiction to war and its accompanying emotional hit?

Yet the cost of such adventures is much much more than dollars and profit – the cost of human lives and mind scarring for life by both sides is unbelievable except for the perpetrators who never get even close to the destruction they caused.

Firstly the goal is identified and the prizes ascertained, then military prowess and respectability is hit with all forces of propaganda available, then the pretend threats are fabricated thus invoking security issues of the attacking forces and then the war begins in earnest. Young men and women are led to believe theirs is a noble cause as the jets and cannons murder countless civilians whilst armies of both sides predominantly remain out of reach.

And those who called for the wars sell the bombs and bullets. They then acquire the new territories at no cost to themselves but at TAX PAYERS EXPENSE. And then they take the spoils for their own profits.

And the most amazing thing Lisa could not comprehend was – the peoples fell for the deceit time and time again. But at least now she knew why.

Whole generations have been filled with propaganda, mind altering drugs and foods, electromagnetic pulses everywhere to dull any thinking and responsibility and effort to dissent or even think. And the science of brainwashing the soldiers to be turned into killers is never used to readjust them into citizens upon their return. And this is for a very strong reason. The emotional horror does not wish to be stopped by the leaders. To usher the same war energy directly into society with the resulting problems fits very nicely into the plan.

But Lisa also soon learnt that the lies and profit taking was NOT the main impetus for waging war, Wars are held to maximize the highest levels of fear and rage imaginable by the human being. Wars are designed to invoke every known negative emotion there is.

And the forces of the church and patriotism are rallied to instill guilt in those who refuse to enlist, thus ensuring ample resources for the next war.

The secrecy in preparing for war, the insane levels of profit and the lack of involvement by those who call for it can only be addressed by the millions of citizens who vote in the war mongers. Full accountability and responsibility must be borne by all participants yet Lisa held feint hope that this would come to be.
