weaker nations on a regular basis... especially when those weaker
nations happen to be standing on valuable natural resources like oil
or uranium. Thanks to this desire for strategic control over
territories, the twentieth century was the bloodiest in human history,
with more people being lost to war, greed and conquest than during any
single century in recorded history (including the centuries spanning
Greek and Roman civilizations).
War remains as supported as ever today, and in fact, many nations
actually thirst for war. Just look at the pro-war coverage on Fox News
and the unending war games being played on computers and game consoles
by young men who find entertainment in war. (In fact, the U.S. Army is
actually recruiting young men now through a free, downloadable video
game that teaches young boys how to pick up a rifle and kill people
with it.)
Why some nations create war
The people of some nations actually create war (or support it) in
their quest to express a sense of nationalistic heroism. Failing
nations need heroes, and when those heroes are no longer found in the
realms of science, art, politics or global achievement, they will be
fabricated from the false victories of war.
The tearful American mom whose son dies in Iraq is, indeed, suffering
a tremendous personal loss, but her loss is a necessary part of
feeding the population's desire to proclaim there are heroes among
them. Through the sacrificing of young men who are killed in Iraq, the
people of America can find common connection, righteousness, and
purpose where none existed before. War gives meaning to empty lives,
and it delivers a masochistic form of entertainment to those who are
too young, too old or too wealthy to participate. This is precisely
why, throughout human history, the leaders of failing nations have
habitually turned to military imperialism as a method to distract the
people from far more serious problems at home. When the sons of a
nation are returning home in body bags, nobody pays much attention to
failures in education or the economy.
This is not to say that there are not some instances in which going to
war has genuine justification. When a nation is threatened by an
invading force, for example, going to war to defend your own land
against invading aggressors is not only necessary, it is also truly
heroic. Defending your own land is courageous; invading your
neighbor's land is cowardly. (Some people claim, by the way, that the
only way to protect America's land is to invade other countries first.
This concept, called "preemptive war" is based on mass distortions
used to falsely justify actions of war.)
In America today, the thirst for war remains as strong as ever. But
the real war being waged on the world right now by America is not
merely found in the limited military action in the Middle East. That's
only the blunt instrument of this war. The real American invasion is
happening through foods, medicines, personal care products,
international banking and intellectual property law. Through the
proliferation of fast food restaurants, pharmaceutical companies,
chemically-contaminated consumer products and similar items invented
in America, the world is being bombarded by systems of food, medicine
and distorted intellectual property claims that are producing far more
casualties than any bombs-and-bullets war.
How to control a nation
In World War II, the Germans attempted to steal natural resources from
neighboring nations by forcefully occupying and controlling the
targeted territories. Today, war is far more sophisticated: America
steals national resources by patenting seeds, genes, medicines and
ideas, then applying economic and political pressure against targeted
nations to forcefully take a cut of their productivity through the
application of intellectual property law. Only Thailand has offered
any sort of resistance in an attempt to protect its people from the
predatory, monopolistic drug pricing of Big Pharma, for example, but
most countries just go right along and pay tribute to the western
world through outrageous patent royalties on medicines that should
belong to the people.
If that's not enough to dominate the targeted nation's economy,
America sends in the World Bank. The World Bank makes predatory loans
to desperate nations, knowing full well they cannot pay them back. It
then uses the leverage of debt to invade those nations with western
financial institutions. Those banks and lending institutions
subsequently turn around and engage in predatory financial practices
that soak the people of the target nation, skimming off productivity
and exporting it back to the West where rich white men cash in
billions without a single honest day's work.
The World Trade Organization, for its part, makes sure that targeted
nations comply with imperialistic western trade practices. The huge
push of Big Tobacco into Asia, for example, is the result of support
by "world trade" proponents who threatened to impose trade sanctions
against Asian nations if they tried to ban cigarette advertising.
Today, more than a third of Chinese men are addicted to cigarettes,
generating billions in annual profits for Big Tobacco companies who
are right now producing more Chinese casualties than any war in
China's long history.
Western medicine is also invading the continents around the world,
bringing its expensive, heartless and corporate-controlled system of
medicine to nations who were actually far healthier, happier and more
financially solvent before America showed up with all its patented
chemicals. Chinese medicine, for example, is routinely discredited in
China by arrogant Chinese doctors who went to med school in America
then returned home to betray their own fellow citizens. Drug companies
see China's one billion people as nothing more than revenue-generating
patients, and convincing all those people to take more medicines will
require a well-planned, well-funded economic and philosophical assault
on Chinese medicine. Essentially, Big Pharma must find a way to
disconnect the Chinese from their heritage, turning them all into
depressed, diseased "white" consumers whose medical mythology worships
the falsehoods of western reductionism.
