Wars and conflicts International USA

In the U.S.A.’s foolish plunge into an 1964-1972 Indo-China war, the U.S. forces won the battles, but lost the war for no more relevant reason than choosing that war. The War in Iraq which Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher foisted upon a credulous President George H.W. Bush, was much less a disaster, only because George H.W. Bush was wisely advised not to go deeper into Iraq. But, after the end of that war, Europe and the U.S.A. (both) promptly entered and lost the Balkan Wars which never should have been started. The new, spreading war in Southwest Asia, into which the British Blair government has lured such among its silly dupes as President Bush and its stooge Vice-President Cheney, has already been the worst folly of all, but is about to become much worse unless Cheney is quickly expelled from office.

This fact is underlined by reading of the meticulous March 26, 2007 After-Action Report by General Barry R. McCaffrey USA (ret). To sum up the essence of his report, the U.S. military forces are winning the battles, but our nation is being successfully destroyed by the criminality of London’s Blair, a Blair Fabian government which has been leading Vice-President Cheney, and sundry other accomplices by their silly noses, leading our republic for "just one more step into the global strategic quicksand," into its imminently threatened self-destruction in the same fashion that London lured Napoleon Bonaparte into the guerrilla warfare trap in Spain.

Some of us are reminded of a grim joke, the Marine Colonel who led his regiment in the successful frontal attack on an opposing machine-gun nest, but lost the troops of his regiment in the attempt. The question asked of that colonel afterward, was: "Why didn’t you flank them?" That colonel was a genius, compared with the Bush Administration’s strategic planners of today.

The question the foolish U.S. Senators, and others, should be asking themselves, is: "Who is it who has virtually drugged our Congress, again and again, into battles which our forces win abroad, but lose at home?"

Who were the confounded idiots in the U.S. Senate, and elsewhere, who cheered for shutting down the U.S. economy permanently, at the behest of British agent Al Gore, all for the sake of abandoning our republic’s sovereignty, to make us all slaves of a new world-empire, the new Tower of Babel called "globalization"?

Who are the idiots who are prepared to run for President of the U.S.A. under an alliance with those carrying that banner of treason which the Prince of Wales’ patsy, and long-standing bearer of a deeply embedded family racist tradition; that of the Prince of Wales’ intimate crony, the half-witted, but vicious, and babbling Malthusian Al Gore, whose lying "Global Warming" swindle is pushing all available, campus and other idiots among us, into bringing about the national suicide of the U.S. republic? That is the suicide which is being pushed by that Middlebury Monster and former associate of Chile’s Pinochet and George Shultz, Felix Rohatyn.

The great lesson from the history of strategy since Greece was destroyed by its victory in the Peloponnesian War, is that the dangerously evil people in world history are those, like the British Empire, which has learned to win wars by getting other people to destroy themselves in fighting the kinds of wars designed to effect the mutual ruin of the combatants, such as our foolish plunge into the Indo-China war, the Balkan wars, and the Southwest Asia warfare unleashed by Britain’s favorite, Henry A. Kssinger, in Lebanon, in April 1975, a war still raging today.

We do not need new enemies in Southwest Asia, when he have more than enough high-ranking scoundrels and fools successfully misleading us, in high-ranking circles here at home.

The great strategic issue facing the U.S.A., as the world as a whole today, is the conflict between the patriots, and those who defiled the U.S. Constitution on which our sovreignty is based, for foreign alliances and wars in complicitly with those who wish to rid us of our sovereignty in favor of a global "Tower of Babel," and degrade us from a science-driven economy of progress, into a kind of people who self-respecting cave-men, and perhaps even monkeys, would justly regard with disgust.

  • If the “losing wars’ that America and other nations keep plunging themselves into are viewed from the standpoint of conventional wisdom which hold that nation states go into them for military/political/religious objectives, then the question of why these nations insist on embroiling themselves in such seemingly irrational and self-destructive activities will continue to mystify those who ask it and the answer will elude them indefinitely.

    A prime example of this paradigm was the Vietnam war. It was a conflict which was instigated by a false flag operation called the Tonkin Gulf Incident designed to give the impression to the American people that North Vietnam had taken the first aggression against US naval forces that demanded a massive military retaliatory response. The American public fell for it hook line and sinker. It was a war of stalemate in which US troops and their commanding officers were ordered by their superiors in Washington D.C. to seize territory that was held by North Vietnamese forces. Once that was accomplished, the US forces were then ordered to fall back , thus allowing the North Vietnamese forces to retake that territory again. US Army/Marine battalions were then again ordered to storm that territory again and retake it and then fall back again allowing the North Vietnamese to reclaim that same piece of land. The American soldiers and some of their commanding officers were often confused and angered by this state of affairs because they had felt that their efforts and lives were being wasted in a strategy that contained no military or political logic in it.

    But if that strategy were looked at from the perspective of those who stood to gain massively from the sales of weapons systems to the military branches and the acquisition of strategically valuable natural resources that always “coincidentally” happened to reside within the enemy countries being“liberated”(invaded) by American forces, then the picture suddenly begins to take on horrifying clarity and its motivation becomes obvious to all but the hard core morons.

    Despite what the public are told about wars, they are not fought to achieve victory over an enemy or to fight terrorism or decide whose religion is better than the rest. Wars are caused by small groups of people who are obsessed with the acquisition of even more money and power over that which they already possess and want it very fast and want to get a seat on this “gravy train”. These Mafia-like criminals pretending to be public servants issue orders to their subordinates in the military to carry out strategies that stretch out what was advertized as a short decisive war of righteous vengeance into what it really was/is-a long drawn out mass murder spree designed to feed the coffers of the bloated military/industrial complex.

    Any corporation or government knows that the best way to generate immense profits and power for themselves is to create a perceived problem or peril to the public and then stir up the fear and anger response within the public body and then offer their ready made solution(either subtle or extreme) to be consumed by the naive and fearful citizenry. War has proven itself to be an exceedingly efficient method in which to accomplish this task.

    Also, the idea of being in a constant state of war infects the populace with a permanent mind set of war fever and fear of non-existent terrorists and enemy invaders so that obedience to the state and leaders and hatred of foreigners becomes second nature. The people are so busy being “good patriots” that they have no time nor desire to actually look at what is being done to them and their families and their communities as a result of the draining away of financial and material resources from their local government services and infrastructure towards war and empire building and become pissed off at their leaders(dictators) and say and do something about it.

    War has always about power and wealth. Greedy individuals in government and industry wanting to exert unlimited power and control over the people so that they may loot the public treasury by lying to them and cheating them and stealing from them (and sometimes murdering them) hatch conspiracies involving faked terror attacks or illusionary enemy acts of war so that they can commit their crimes while hiding behind the flag and claiming an air of legitimacy for themselves. By indoctrinating the malleable collective masses into believing that they should pursue only enough knowledge and wisdom to be “good servants” to their masters, the elites had guaranteed that most of the enslaved would not become intelligent enough to realize they were being lied to and angry enough to rebel.

    This is what George Orwell understood very well when he wrote his story about Big Brother tyranny called “1984" and meant it as a message to future generations of what could happen to them if they allowed their government leaders and corporations to acquire too much power and that it was important to avoid it all costs.

    Unfortunately, the seductive persuasion of state propaganda and inherent ignorance and desire to live a life of convenience and instant gratification won out. The American public and peoples in many western nations developed an aversion to complex thought and vigilance to abuses of power by their so-called “leaders” and permitted tyranny to metastasize like a cancer in the very form that Orwell had predicted.

    The Afghanistan and Iraq invasions were not responses to the 9/11 attacks on America. 9/11 was the inside job designed to function as the trigger pretext for the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. First incite the over-the-top blood thirsty response to the so-called “terror attacks against the homeland” and then steer that response toward approval for aggressive offensive military operations in the target nation and others and then use it as the opportunity to seize and control entire regions and their resources. This formula has been relied upon by emperors and tyrants and dictators since time immemorial

    Winning or losing was never the point of war. Its only purpose is the ceaseless killing and destruction and degradation of human beings for the sake of accumulating wealth and power for the few.

    As long as there are people too brainwashed or too fearful of this truth out there, the elites who control our governments and militaries (and their peoples) will never cease to lie to them to pursue the course of never-ending war and the fascism that it breeds and inflicting pain and suffering and death upon their peoples at home and victims everywhere else.

    It would be naive and futile to believe that simply having peaceful thoughts and living a non-violent life alone will bring about a more peaceful future where war is rendered obsolete. We must recognize that greed and lust for power and public ignorance are the main catalysts for wars so that we can begin to create that positive future.
