Soldiers

- Hi Jeff,
-
- Obviously the heading above is from the article on your
site today. I have read this account in the past and am always moved by
this spontaneous act of humanity toward humanity. It has oft been asked;
"What if they declared a war and no one came?" We know the answer
to that immediately, the world would know peace at last. Hatred must be
created and then generated in order to initiate war, our leaders are experts
in this field.

- Herman Goering
-
- "Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why
would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the
best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece?
Naturally, the common people don't want war: neither in Russia nor in England
nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But,
after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and
it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a
democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship
. . . voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding
of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are
being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing
the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."
-
- 911 accomplished this perfectly for our American military/corporate
leaders. One would almost think this was text book war room strategy, at
least Goering would.
-
- The article above (very top) is the best testimonial
I have yet read which proves beyond a doubt that it isn't the man on the
street, the working citizen, the Mom's and Dad's who want war, it is, and
always has been, the banking cartels, the powers of Wall Street (all),
the Corporate hogs, the political servants and lobbyist of same who strive
for war and killing, simply because it further lines their greedy pockets.
War is the easiest way to create large case flows for the elite, oil, drugs
and other national wealth, after all, it isn't their son's and daughter's
that are killed and maimed in the process of obtaining these riches for
the movers and shakers, they are safely exempted and safely away at some
wealthy university.
-
- When thousands of young men who have been conditioned
to hate and kill each other can call a truce in the middle of mortal combat,
such as during WWl, then surely they know the score, and who created the
evil they are forced to carry out through twisted and militarily enforced
laws.
-
- Only when men and women refuse to the above conditioning
of hatred toward their fellow man for the sake of lucre for the rich and
powerful will there be true peace on earth. Instead of killing each other,
nations should begin to identify those who would compromise and kill off
our most valued resource, our children, and bring these monsters to judgment,
regardless of their political affiliations. I don't care if they have only
been in office a month, if they are presupposed to war for the corporate
sake, then ditch (impeach) them immediately and place someone else in the
office, do it as many times as it takes to install someone who realizes
he or she serves the public, not the other way around. Sadly, we will not
do this because we lack the courage or the moral strength to bring these
killers, these "leaders" of our nations to task.
-
- If American soldiers and Iraqi insurgents or civilians,
in Iraq truly want peace, let them honor the respected religions and traditions
of each other and declare their own peace. Even a short break would send
a message to the war mongers around the world. But first, we must be willing
to allow nations to rule their own affairs.
-
- As the song says, "Let there be peace and let it
begin with me."
-
- Personally, I anxiously await the return of the "Prince
Of Peace," Jesus, the Christ, because history has proven that man
is totally incapable of this goal, six thousand years and absolutely no
progress, not an inspiring track record. Meanwhile, some of us can take
a short reprieve and give thanks at this special time of the year for those
who bridge the gap between sanity and insanity in our world whether they
are able to agree or not, our misused and totally abused American service
men and women. These champions of freedom have no say in what the "system
of supreme evil" compels them to do. I have served my country and
I know how they feel. In the deepest recesses of their hearts they want
to believe they are protecting their nation, their beloved America. The
cherish their honor and protect it against all adversity. They love their
God, their families, and their country with all of their hearts. We can
never blame our soldiers for America's horrors of war, they are pawns who
stepped into unfamiliar waters, except maybe those hybrids who have no
moral conscience, or regard for life, and simply love to maim, destroy
and kill. These place the black marks on our valiant protectors of freedom.

- God have mercy on us, a nation, no, a world gone berserk.
