Here’s how to best honor the war dead on Memorial Day

Modern wars are rarely begun in response to existential threats, regardless of what the politicians and the media tell you. And America’s wars are no exception. I want to candidly remind you here that governments — all governments — need crisis, no matter how much lip service they give to the idea of “peace.” Crisis is a well-known Machiavellian strategy to gain and solidify political power and persuade public opinion.

Crisis provides the stage where governments can control all sides. At least they can arrange events to “naturally” unfold. Governments must have scapegoats and phony enemies. The people must have perceived threats to their security, and so naturally government is there to “protect.”

Governments must have enemies to the extent that they finance them. There can be no military budgets without perceived enemies.

Humanity has been cannon fodder in concocted wars and revolutions for millenniums. Anywhere you look it is still going on today.

America has been at war for almost the entirety of its existence: 221 of its 242 years.

The country has never gone a decade without a war. The only time the U.S. went five years without a war was during the isolation period of the Great Depression (1935-1940).

The U.S. has been making war in the Middle East continuously for almost 30 years. In addition to the lives lost and maimed, it’s cost trillions of dollars and led to a host of liberty-stealing laws.

A whole generation of Americans has been raised to adulthood and beyond who have not seen peace in their lifetimes. And despite these constant wars, we are no closer to peace now than we were when George H.W. Bush made open war on Saddam Hussein. In fact, peace is, if anything, farther away. No longer do we have military people (and/or military contractors) fighting and dying just in Afghanistan (which has gone on for 17 years) and Iraq (27 years – counting the first Gulf War, which never ended), they are – or have recently been – in Pakistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia and Algeria. And there’s saber rattling about war with Iran, North Korea and Russia.

Just last year Department of Homeland Security Secretary John Kelley said the terror threat is so bad that some people “would never leave the house” if they knew the truth. So how has the “War on Terror” helped?

There was no threat of Islamists attacking the U.S. prior to the American buildup for Bush Sr.’s Iraq war, nor was the FBI creating terrorists then as they are now. So these wars that have led to thousands of dead American service people, and countless more maimed physically and emotionally, have at the same time have led to a less-safe, not more, safe America.

Until we understand that U.S. wars are not fought for defense of America or to protect our liberties but are fought to enrich the globalists, the banksters and the military industrial complex, we will continue to see our freedoms eroded and our wealth stolen from us and our soldier-children killed or maimed.

Wars and revolutions have been the modus operandi through the centuries to align and realign the nations to fit the plans of big commerce.

What we really need to understand is that all modern wars are financed by bank credit, not by income taxes or any other taxes. All governments and all systems are and were financed by bank credit. Nazism, fascism, communism, and democracy are all products of bank credit. All are equal and all are the same. Imagine all the dead soldiers on both sides who died for the same thing and because of the same thing — bank credit. Bank credit is another name for the New World Order. It is the true name of the New World Order.

So let’s honor our war dead by making sure we don’t make any more of them in bankster wars, wars for empire or wars of aggression. And let’s honor them further by bringing our military people home and closing down our 600+ bases around the world.
