Greetings good citizen, for time out of mind mankind has always prepared for war and unfailingly, man has always found himself at war with his fellow man like this was the natural order of things.
Like many things in life I alluded to the media's 'responsibility' to take steps to prevent public panic but apparently that doesn't apply to programming intended to showcase our nation's military readiness.
So it was last night I watched an alarming broadcast intended to make the viewer aware of the multiple threats facing our species from our fellow humans...for reasons not quite well defined.
On aggregate, much of the foreign efforts/advances in military technology seemed aimed at countering existing US military capabilities [with the US being the most aggressive/active military force on the planet, bar none, since WWII.
Add to that the US annual defense budget is twice that of the next five largest military budgets combined.
Dunno what that comes out to adjusted for inflation as the planet's reserve currency heads towards worthlessness due to gross mismanagement but factors are factors.
Let us return to our foundation: Humanity is at war with itself and while the (given) reason for that varies (currently the conflict is ideologically driven) but in the end it is war for advantage USUALLY over the control of resources.
Everybody understands that those running the first world are draining the planet's fossil fuel supply for its own feckless benefit via funny money.
Now part of this 'permanent war footing' is population control/jobs program as automation makes more and more humans redundant.
Bizarrely this is the threat of being able to hire half of us to kill the other half made good but the soldiers are too stupid to see this and that should frighten the spit out of everyone!
What the hell is going on? Are we going to destroy the planet so 'a few' can be/remain rich?
You don't care, I know.
Which is how we got here. With the death of history/civics in our education system means nobody knows that one of the other 'founding principles' of this nation was the avoidance of 'foreign intrigues'.
The history of Europe can be told through its wars, which are responsible for their 'proud warrior tradition' in every nation...
The part nobody gets is WE are the ENEMY! The morons stoking the flames of war will NEVER be on the lines anywhere...in fact the soldiers will be held accountable if they attack the designated 'safe areas' on the map [where the leadership of both hostile forces lives in comfort and safety.]
Didn't know that about war?
While the media LOVES to display mock-ups of Washington DC being blown to bits in a 'first strike', it will never happen because you can't negotiate victory if the losers don't survive...
Take a moment to ponder just how screwed up that is...
Ever wonder why we are ALWAYS at war? Because the people responsible for the conflict have no skin in the game! They get to order the generals not to bomb/invade certain areas without their express permission.
Now the War on Terra is a different animal intended to set the stage for global genocide against the planet's 'surplus population'.
Shift mental gears as we hop off the 'Enemy is Us' Hobby horse and leap on the back of who we are entrusting with these weapons of mass destruction?
Fallacy number one is the 'adults' would keep the children from wiping us out if they have a tantrum and ordered an attack. [To date no one has stood up in the UN and proposed an initiative that would legally bind the US to putative action if its leader succeeded in ordering the use of nuclear weapons on its fellow humans.
What the fuck are we doing? China and Russia are both building their arsenals because the planet's loose cannon is attacking everyone that doesn't 'kowtow' to its increasingly insane commercial demands!
One people, one world, better UNITED than 'conquered'. The 'my way or the highway' crowd needs to be shown the door. If we can't live in peace we won't survive at all. [Those who seek to take what isn't theirs by force will forfeit their membership in society and be exiled to the wastelands.]
We either share what there is equitably or you are free to scrounge for scraps where there is nothing.
Hey-hey, ho-ho, capitalism has got to go!
Once 'free land' dried up capitalism SHOULD HAVE dried up along with it. That isn't how things worked out. Once free property was used up it spawned 'rentiers' like Preznint Pussygrabber.
Who looks at his own species as the ENEMY? The people the justice system would skin if the justice system ever fell into the 'wrong hands'...
Now you see what military might is 'really for'. It's to keep the peasants in line. [And if we send the peasants kids off to fight some other peasant's kids they won't be here rioting in the streets seeking 'justice' that will never happen as long as the feckless are alive and in control.
So it is we arrive full circle at the 'true divide', that of the enriched and those they took it from.
Don't know why I'm telling you time because you don't care...oh well
Thanks for stopping by, come again when you can think longer!

PS: my sincerest thanks to all who 'plus one'...they make me smile!
