Japan, another failed state

Failed states don't happen. They are the end result of ruinous ideologies imposed on them.

Hiroshima Peace Memorial
Hiroshima, Japan May 27th, 2016.

Final paragraphs of speeches given by US President Barack Obama, And Japanese President Abe.

“The world was forever changed here.  But today, the children of this city will go through their day in peace.  What a precious thing that is.  It is worth protecting, and then extending to every child.  That is the future we can choose -– a future in which Hiroshima and Nagasaki are known not as the dawn of atomic warfare, but as the start of our own moral awakening.” (Applause.)—US President Barack Obama,2016

Children who were born on that unforgettable day lit the light believing in permanent peace.  To make every effort for the peace and prosperity in the world, vowing for this light -- this is the responsibility of us all who live in the present.  We will definitely fulfill our responsibility.  Together, Japan and the United States will become a light for hope, for the people in the world.  Standing in this city, I am firmly determined, together with President Obama.  This is the only way to respond to the feelings of the countless spirits -- victims of the atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.  I am convinced of this.  (Applause.) Japanese Prime Minister Abe  2016

Obama meets with victims of the Hiroshima in bombing 2016. Before leaving office he approved a one trillion dollar bill for the modernization and expansion of America’s nuclear arsenal. Soon after he arrived in office he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, when he had already ordered more drone assassinations than any other president. The US has also walked away from all nuclear treaties and declared a “first strike” option. At no point in his Hiroshima speech did he make any apology for the bombings . Many of the scientists who developed the bombs opposed their actual usage. The gratuitous bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was America’s declaration of war on the world. Two years latter the USSR had the bomb.

The two excerpts above give us great insight into what is wrong with the world today

The two speeches given by Obama and Abe are the callous hypocrisies that are endemic in politics today. They do not speak to the realities of our time but only the lies and betrayal of wicked political agendas. They manufacture their own truths to fit their wicked political agendas.

Seventy eight years latter there is no contrition, no honesty, no accountability and the nuclear age is more threatening than ever. To applause, both leaders propound lofty notions they have no intention of keeping.

Here we stand today these same two countries are now close allies in preparing for and threatening nuclear war on China.

What constitutes a failed state today is a very expansive term. Many American pundits consider their USA a failed state with an abundance of social indicators to verify the claim.

Today there is a special class of failed state coming into prominence. These are the countries that allow themselves to be coerced into supporting nuclear war against China.

Japan is the most recent and as they fall like domino. We have to ask what sort of coercion was required for them to so easily walk away from their sovereignty, their self-respect as nations and betraying their populations to the ravages of global warfare.

Given that Japan was the “testing grounds” for the first nuclear weapons you would think they would be the last to partner with such pure evil.

Australia is another failed state allowing itself to be a forward operating base for war against China; such a crushing indignity for a nation to inflict on itself.

Canada is another failed state as it is exhausting its national treasury as the pliable powder monkey to the empires wars. But of Course, we Canadians are de facto Americans without much to say about anything.

As for Western Europe it is now in total lock down to the empire’s wars and has been for some time. Great Britain, no longer so great, vicariously tries to reclaim greatness by being the empire’s henchman and collaborator, trying to claim what was never theirs to have.

The failed states of the West

We must ask ourselves why there so many failed states of the West so easily coerced into fighting the empires wars, so willing to become slave states to perpetual war.

The answer is obvious. Over the past half century they have been weakened by the neoliberal ideology, an ideology most people aren’t even aware exists. It travels under many disguises, the best known is the “free market economy” But it is much than economic it is about restructuring and dissolving whole societies where they are no longer democracies, but in corporate capture, where governments have abdicated their sovereignty and obligations to their citizenry . Corporations are left to free wheel stealing the wealth of nations and washing out essential social priorities .

We wonder how we stumble in to wars so easily? They are corporate wars for corporate profits . National legislators no longer control when their country goes to war —corporations do.

The refugees, and combatants of war are sacrificed for corporate profits.

China and Russia are not the enemy. They are targets of corporate take over as Western corporations want to steal their wealth and erase their cultures. Russia and China are the only two sovereign nations on planet Earth and they stand in the way of America’s delusional ambition of owning and running the whole world. They are vilified accordingly to justify the belligerence of a rogue super power that is utterly sociopathic.

When venomous British Prime Margaret Thatcher declared , “there is no such thing as societies.” It was the war cry of neoliberalism for the destruction of nation states, up to and including open warfare as we are seeing now .

Neoliberalism and its associated ideologies, imperialism, neo-colonialism, and unaccountable corporatism are the fundamental underpinnings of the mess the West is in today.

Countries like Canada, Australia, Japan and all other NATO member states are slave states to the empire’s wars and its delusional ambitions, thus becoming failed states.

War will only end when nations say no to it.
