Make no mistake: This is WW III !!
Our societies become pathetic self-deprecating mirror images of the wars we fight.
The start of something big, getting bigger and bigger.
Hey folks! I have something important to pass on to you. I don’t want to be the neighborhood crepe hanger, Cassandra, or habitual bearer of bad news. I just happen to be at a point in my where I am in position to be a full time world watcher—its called retirement— at a time when the world is in an epically critical time. Change is on steroids in a very complex and over populated world. There are huge power shifts ongoing, new alignments forming, others dissolving, and an awful lot of money changing hands in the wrong places for the wrong purposes. Trillions more are simply being pissed down the drain— to say nothing of the huge losses of life, limb and property.
There are huge unaccountable powers trying to force their fascist ideology on the world granting themselves dominion over all. This will only lead to a glum Neo-feudal global monoculture.
There are a lot of misguided souls out there who will try and tell you this is just one more cold between Russia/China vs NATO led by the US. For too long many people believed NATO was a defense alliance for protecting Europe from the big bad Russkies. Biden and company have been so accommodating as to openly proclaim they want both Russia and China knocked off the map so they are free to exploit the world as they may and as they have done for the past hundred years.
NATO’s track record of perpetual wars and crimes against humanity disqualify it from the pole position. Our only option is a multipolar world, that is more just, egalitarian and every nation has the right to pursue self-determination. We have fallen on the hard rocks of sociopathy when we must return to the social democracies and the holism we have so recklessly abandoned.
While the US/NATO has been waging war on the world for the past 75 years China and Russia have been recovering from wars and revolutions rebuilding their economies and better lives for their populations. Big bad Uncle Sam in his big bad bullying manner has claimed what is theirs is now his… and he is willing to blow them off the world map to get it.
The last thing they want is war ; but Uncle Sam is desperate for war as it is the only language he speaks and is holding the world hostage to his delusional ambitions that are totally mad and MAD and Pyrrhic.

For the past three quarters of a century populations of the West have seen nothing but perpetual war. So much so we are desensitized to war and the ravages it imposes on others and the hidden costs we pay, morally and economically, as our elites betray us. War becomes an accepted and internalized presence we have come to accept as the norm and an immutable that cannot be changed.
The culture of war blows back on our societies where children grow up with the constant noise of war in the background. They play videos where wars and killing are games played, where they are indoctrinated into believing conflict and endless violence are solutions.
Our societies become pathetic self-deprecating mirror images of the wars we fight.
*******
We are now in our third world war in just over a hundred years the first world war (1914-1918) killed 17 million people and was supposed to be the “war to end all wars”. It was not, as 27 years later we embarked on WW II (1939-1945). This was the greatest war ever fought killing 87 million peoples. Now we are in WW III and body bags are mounting.
We are led to believe this is just another cold war. We would like to think the ruination of Western Europe and the Ukraine are regional issues of no great concern. In fact they are opening chapters of world war three with much more to come.
We mistakenly think that WW lll doesn’t start until a nuclear attack takes place, a vast NATO sea armada attacks China(now in preparation) or a major air battles takes place. It is happening here now both covertly and openly in a dangerously militarized world where everything under sun has been weaponized.
Hybrid warfare
Humankind has a penchant for adopting ideologies that are ruinous and many sages speculate we just have a nihilist death wish. War is an ideology. It is the vainglorious self-destructive exercise we do over and over again— even though we are at a point where war on planet earth is the ultimate madness— too many people living in a highly complex and integrated world. There is simply no elbow room for gratuitous wars or egregious corruptions of leadership.
As a backdrop to world war three we live in a highly militarized world where war is big business and the weapons industry is a black plague on our existence. Wars now are all about profit margins and the number of yachts billionaires can put to sea. Who wants to sacrifice their life and/or standard of living for such loathsome troglodytes.
American historian Chalmers Johnson referred to the present US Navy as scouring the Pacific still looking for the Japanese fleet of WW II. In other words they are always out to pick a fight. They have billion dollar aircraft carriers to exercise this gunboat diplomacy and intimidation.
These carriers are part of the multi-trillion dollar error the US has committed. They expected WW III would be more massive land, sea, and air battles fought during WW II. Not so! This world war is essentially economic as Eurasia with 87% of the world’s population is taking its rightful place, its right to self-determination, and its right to a peaceful co-existence.
While NATO is shedding blood in the West, Eurasia is building affluence, prosperity and partnerships. They are peacefully transitioning to a multipolar world. Of course none of this is reported in the Western media, desperately trying to maintain a propagandist narrative in an age where it is impossible. When it comes to maintaining false narratives by false prophets the world is a very leaky boat.
World war three is a hybrid war in too many ways. It is military-very much economic- covert, cyber, psychological, back firing sanctions that have ruined Europe’s economy, and whatever else comes along that can be weaponized.
The Conversion of Henry Kissinger
During the 1970’s Henry Kissinger was US Secretary of State. This was at a time when millions were dying in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. He is generally considered a war criminal.
In May of 2022, at the age of 99, he gave a speech in which he stated
“Kissinger in his speech further reflected back on his experience negotiating détente with Beijing in the 1970s, noting that the potentially adversarial aspect of the U.S.-China relationship should be mitigated and common interests should be pursued and upheld. “The U.S.,” he says, “must realize that China’s strategic and technical competence has evolved. Diplomatic negotiations must be sensitive, informed and unilaterally strive for peace.”
With age comes wisdom and an old war criminal comes to accept the reality that war solves nothing, making matters only worse. The present Secretary of State, the delusional Antony Blinken blunders on to where in his retirement he might regret his addiction to wars and their conspicuous criminality and inhumanity.
The good news
We cannot see this war in terms one side winning or losing it can only be seen as a transition to a multipolar world where all countries are winners. Military warfare will play a part only as escalated by the NATO West. Just as we are seeing now in Ukraine NATO is determined to forestall peace negotiations pouring in more money, weapons and personnel. At the same time it is playing a very dangerous and hideously irresponsible game of brinkmanship trying to lure China into war putting the world at risk to advance its corrupt agenda.
Brinkmanship in itself should be considered a war crime as it puts whole civilizations on the cusp of war perpetuating social instability and chaos. Constantly preparing for war renders wars inevitable.
American warfare and intransigence are the enemy within, blocking the transition to a more progressive and peaceful world order for all.
