“In our civilization most people are thinking, speaking, gathering information, working, shopping, moving and voting exactly as our rulers want them to, because these mass-scale psychological conditioning systems have been imposed to keep human behavior aligned with the empire. We are trained to believe we are free while behaving exactly how our rulers want us to behave, and to look down on other nations and shake our heads at how unfree their people are.”
—Caitlin Johnstone, author, poet, activist
The world needs large injections rapprochement and reciprocity-author
*****
In the history of the world we have never had the means to communicate with each other so effectively. At the same time the ability to suppress and control information has never been greater. Never have we been so vulnerable to the whole schemozzle becoming the Tower Babel— all at a time when communication is more important than ever.
We fight wars in so many ways and words are just one more. Controlling the dialogue wins and loses wars, especially so when populations are constantly bombarded by information that has to be sorted as to what is truth and what is pure fiction.
A Tower of Babel is of special significance in these times as there are those who want to maintain the tower in full bull roar mode as the agent of chaos freezing truth and progress. They create barrage after barrage of mass distractions to cover their tracks and keep their treachery out of focus. They are determined to block the essential move to a multipolar world where all peoples speak the language of peaceful co-existence essential to planetary survival.
We truly are in WW lll. It is a hybrid war, a war of many words, and a war of too many words excluded.
To sustain the babble require the language of exclusion where the very issues we must address are taboo words, explaining the dark times from which we must rescue ourselves.
For your consideration I am submitting 20 words, seven more than a baker’s dozen. These are a short list of red hot words of our times. I am sure you can add many more. These are good words to write and speak about. To better serve us, and the world at large. We need an open dialogue.
A survival glossary for our times
Abandonment—appropriately tops the list as Western populations have been abandoned to endless wars and the delusional megalomania of capitalist profiteering.
Bamboozle—keeping populations heavily propagandized is the first prerequisite of the greatest psychological war ever fought.
Betrayal—the betrayal is manifest as leaders of supposed democratic countries become pimps for corporate war and empire building.
Chaos— must be maintained to keep populations fearful and submissive.
Brinkmanship— is to keep the “enemy” on the cusp of war to wear down their will and resources. Cold wars are really wars of attrition keeping societies destabilized and blocking progress in every aspect. We become cultures of perpetual fear and loathing, internalizing the degenerate values imposed by the status quo.
Detente— is the first step of easing tensions between counties and warring factions; but we can’t get to that point even though we have flirted with it from time to time in the past.
Ethnocentrism— is the attitude that a particular culture holds itself as superior to all others and feels free to discriminate, vilify, and wage economic and military war against other counties. This is one of the defining issues of the present world crisis as NATO wants to rule the world unchallenged, and is willing to wage endless warfare in pursuit of this delusional megalomania.
Equilibrium— is a state of stability and freedom where societies can fairly and progressively pursue their self-determination.
Fascism— is a dictatorial form of government where all controls over life and liberty lie with the state. In other words the erasure of democracy.
History—- Our story, where we have been, where we are and where we are going. All three are organically connected, cyclical, and must be seen as a matrix, not just a string of events. In times of war history is eradicated in favor of propaganda and war psychosis.
Imperialism— Where an ethnocentric culture attacks and attempts to destroy other cultures.
Neoliberalism—is the dominate ideology throughout the West and is economic fascism.
Peace— has become the brief intermission occuring between wars while the next target country is being selected. To speak for peace in these times is like farting in a wind storm and considered bad manners verging on treason.
Proxy—a country coerced into doing the imperialist’s dirty work and suffer the consequences, also known as the sacrificial pawn, or a Trojan horse.
Pyrrhic— a war fought to a stalemate where both sides have exhausted their resources, and the only winners are the arms dealers.
Psychosis— delusion behaviors caused by excess exposure to war and violence. Also a suspension of rational thinking.
Rapprochement—harmonious relations with other countries, ie, treating others as you would like to be treated, and as part of a larger community.
Reciprocity— interacting with other countries where both benefit— the antithesis of imperialism.
Scapegoating— blaming and vilifying other countries in an attempt to cover one’s own failures and/or sinister agendas: and as a false pretext to justify war.
War lll— There are those who would have us believe this is just another cold war. It is not! It is truly WW lll and it is the war of multipolarism vs the existing totally dysfunctional unipolar status quo. It is a war of liberation and self-determination for countries around the world to be free from the tyranny of Western imperialism and its extortionist policies and perpetual wars.
Multipolarity is essential to insure planetary survival where all
nations work cooperatively for global peace and security. Of course there will be competition and conflict but reciprocity and rapprochement must prevail over all.
The West must step back from its arrogant and crippling ethnocentrism and accept we are not the center of the universe and we only speak for 13% of the world’s population.
Got any more you would like to add to the list?
Peace be with you and yours!
