"In order to bring a nation to support the burdens of maintaining great military establishments, it is necessary to create an emotional state akin to War Psychology. There must be the portrayal of an external menace"

"It is part of the general pattern of misguided policy that our country is now geared to an arms economy which was bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and nurtured upon an incessant propaganda of fear."
"While such an economy may produce a sense of seeming prosperity for the moment, it rests on an illusionary foundation of complete unreliability and renders among our political leaders almost a greater fear of peace than is their fear of war."

"Our real enemies are not those living in a distant land whose names or policies we don’t understand; The real enemy is a system that wages war when it’s profitable, the CEOs who lay us off our jobs when it’s profitable, the insurance companies who deny us health care when it’s profitable, the banks who take away our homes when it’s profitable. Our enemies are not 5000 miles away. They are right here at home."
Years ago, the International Editorial Board of the World Socialist Web Site published a piece saying that the United States of America can destroy but not rule the world.
Please don't use the "I----l" name for the Zionist entity. With this illegal "preemptive" attack the second front against Russia opens since Russia will back Iran. Welcome to WW-III!
Nicely put. The problem is what do you do with such corrupt mentality within the circles of power? In the case that the public wants (and I'm not at all sure it does) to curtail this apparatus of self-delusion (or more simply of high crime) how do we go about this? The way things are going its a slow decay of the social fabric which means choosing not to choose. Does it have to end this way? The alternative seems to be taking matters into own hands by removing those (estimate, 5000 top criminals) one by one. If they can’t self-help themselves they need some assistance.
The social decay is actually rapid and very alarming.
We are in the late stages of the empire's collapse and it is very difficult to predict what will happen, especially with the wild card of nuclear war ever present. What happens with the Iran/Israel war could be a critical turning point .
Trump and his gang of war mongering thugs are actually accelerating the decline and turning America into a global pariah. He has lost all credibility as he has told too many lies too often.
We are in global damage control mode and eventually the builders will take over from the destroyers.
If Israel loses the war to Iran that will a huge step toward pacification in the ME and elsewhere.
The "useful idiots" of war fail to realize how Pyrrhic and self-destructive war has become. War is now an existential issue for the whole planet.
Do you include yourself as part of the utterly WHITE vile west? How would you describe Israel?
The power structure of the West is certainly bought and paid for, but it has to struggle to propagandize the populace who are buying the warmongery less and less.
I am white Anglo-Saxon of British ancestry and hold the West in utter contempt for what we have come to stand for. Ironically, many people mistake me as being from the Middle East because of my darker complexion. I have been writing for thirty years as a critic of the West. I consider myself an internationalist-- as these are the issues that will decide the planet's future.
It is tragic to see the West destroy itself with its utter stupidity and insanity.
Jeffrey Sachs claims the British have been at the core of too many of the world's problems and it is easy to agree. The British empire followed by the copy cat even more virulent American empire have done great damage to the world community.
Yes, I am white and I do - to great shame - count myself to the White vile West. White bigotry 'imposed' on all other races. israel...a nation of barbarians.

Thanks for posting these quotes, all harbingers of the horrors to come.
So true, Robert. "The whole world is being held hostage by a death cult."
Years ago, the International Editorial Board of the World Socialist Web Site published a piece saying that the United States of America can destroy but not rule the world.
Your piece made me recall that statement.

"WHITE" is its own vile bigotry

I am a full blooded Irish. If anyone could condemn another nation as utterly vile, it would be moi.
The English are not their leadership, though they are often led astray by such people who have the vileness.

Want to condemn Brit oligarchs? Have at it, but that is part of the big club that, as George Carlin said, you ain't in.
