Turning the key on a more peaceful world
The key is there for the turning and the intransigent West must turn it.
The despots of the West are incapable of acknowledging they are responsible for the West’s decline. It will not be reversed until they are held accountable and removed en masse from office.
Opening the door to world peace has defied us for too long and the situation only gets more and more complex and intractable. It is the prickly pear that everybody dances around that has to be uprooted.
We should never be so naive as to think world peace is an absolute term as there will always be wars and conflict. War and violence are deeply ingrained in the human psyche and there will always be those willing to foment war for fun and profit. But there is an equilibrium that must be established where we are not dominated and constantly under threat of greater wars and planetary annihilation which in too many ways is closer than we think.
Wars have been fought continuously for the last hundred years and even greater ones constantly threaten. This tyranny must at least be reduced to a smaller scale and intermittent in nature. This means putting in place the structures, institutions, and laws to minimize warfare, and the self-indulgent dementia of the few no longer affordable.
There was a recent comment by a reader that the West is somewhere between a nursery school and an insane asylum. This is a great truth of our times as the West has been infantilized by its own hand and its blind intransigence is driving it insane. Peace will never be born out of the fascist chaos that now envelopes the West. Nor should we think that elections make any difference.
If we want to turn the key on peace we must face one undeniable reality of our time that must be reckoned with, one that has been obvious for some time but too few are willing to address.
We are in a third world war and one fought on many fronts and in many ways. It is a hybrid war that is as economic as it is military. Where there is open conflict these have a great potential to escalate into continental warfare and ultimately global warfare. The combatants are the ascendant East and the declining West — just another cycle in the annals of history and the edicts of a temporal world. As the East moves toward a multipolar world of considerable promise the West is determined to sustain its tyrannical unipolarity with endless wars and endless treachery.
They fail to mention the Program for the New American Century(PNAC), the Wolfowitz Doctrine, Full Spectrum Dominance (FSD) all of which outline the basis of American foreign policy and its stated intention of establishing full hegemonic dominance over the whole world. These doctrines were America’s declaration of war on the world ongoing, rarely mentioned but pivotal.
America’s credentials as the villain of the peace are deeply rooted as it rides the wave of endless propaganda, delusional thinking, and immoral criminality with political systems and ethics rotted to the bone. The West has become frozen in time where decline and suffering gain more momentum.
The West led by the US insists on playing the role of the protagonist when it is the antagonist waging war on the world, being the most interventionist empire ever and clearly defined as a warfare state shunning diplomacy, tearing up arms limitation agreements and contemptuous of international law.
As a warfare state it only sees the world in terms of eternal conflict where it must prevail at all times. In doing so it must constantly be manufacturing mythical enemies and scapegoats to justify its belligerence, brinkmanship, and false pretexts for war. Its economy is structured for sustainable warfare, with no accommodations for peace, order, responsible and representative government.
The very essence of the crisis is the USA is not content to be a hemispheric hegemon but recklessly insists on the delusional ambition of absolute global dominance.
To sustain warfare means an ongoing vilification and demonization of foreign cultures. Russophobia, Sinophobia and Xenophobia are endemic in Western cultures. To serve the crimes of the empire foreign cultures are scapegoated, with war and hatred being the currency of the empire making any reconciliations much more difficult.
While feeble-minded Western governments constantly accuse others of meddling in their affairs they are waging war on the world.
Moot elections and wars mock us
When is the last time you heard a sitting politician make a passionate plea for peace? Rarely if at all, as they are the cheerleaders of war who give standing ovations to war criminals and allocate hundreds of billions of dollars for more war and more bloodshed while the nation states they are supposed to serve are on starvation rations.
In a modern warfare state political parties dissolve becoming co-conspirators. The pack mentality prevails where politicians of every stripe become powder monkeys to war. NATO has 32 member states and all are being cannibalized economically to facilitate the empire’s wars.
As Henry Kissinger once stated empires don’t have allies or foes, just interests… ergo, their only loyalty is to themselves and will screw all others to serve their own ends. Just as Europe was so easily duped into going to war against Russia their major trading partner — a fool’s errand by any standard.
One of the unstated reasons for the Ukraine war is that Washington was becoming jealous as the trading relationship between EU and Russia was pulling Europe away from American influence and undermining its colonization of Europe. Blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines was the brazen war crime ruining Europe’s economic viability and prosperity.
Now the tumultuous American presidential election has been decided but means nothing. As the Democratic party betrayed its followers, they have reeked their revenge by electing Trump, and he in turn is betraying his followers. Until he proves otherwise a fake populist assumes the throne.
No sooner is the election over than he is selecting a cabinet of the same old Zionists and Neoconservatives to pull off the same old treachery.
Trump is the emperor of America presiding over the decline, and the continued suffering. The turning of the key becomes more remote than ever.
The rot within the US Political system is so deeply embedded it can no longer produce credible leaders. As it is America has just elected another honorary stooge to preside over its decline and that of its feckless NATO vassal states.
The despots of the West are incapable of acknowledging they are responsible for the West’s decline. It will not be reversed until they are held accountable and removed en masse from office.
When the Kennedy brothers, Martin Luther King, and so many others were assassinated in the 1960s the American Dream died and the warfare state came into being, just as Eisenhower warned it was on the rise. Since that time the US has been in a state of insurrection where every president has presided over serial warfare, endless interventions and assassinations.
Donald Trump has promised to release the Kennedy Papers, but the truth of the assassinations of the sixties has been well documented and is there for all willing to see it . As it is the US is on the run from the truths of its violent and criminal history. Until such time as it faces these truths the decline will continue. The time for peace and reconciliation is long past due .
The colonized West led by the USA has yet to summon the eternal vigilance and humanity essential to maintaining just and enduring societies. Peace, civility, and where the rule of law applies to all are the essential starting points.
History tells us anything less is the road to a very dark age.
