50 Notes on War and Reality

1.)  War can only stop through understanding or exhaustion.  War historically has only lead to temporary peace not lasting peace. Historically, peace has only occurred due to exhaustion, not through understanding.

2.) Individuals, communities, families, and countries are all "Pawns" to rival Superpowers.

3.)  The use of financial trade and the use of Education is another form of warfare used by rival Superpowers. Economic warfare “cold war”, and Militarily warfare “hot war” is what majority of people are familiar with.  However, in “peacetime”, education (by any means and through any form of entertainment, entertainment outlet, or news outlet -which is otherwise known as ‘government propaganda’ and ‘corporate propaganda’) will be used on citizens and enemies.

4.) THREATS IN THE TECHNOLOGICAL AGE (used by rival superpowers): Viruses, Spam ware, Hackers, and Mal-ware. Therefore, losing control of your operating device to others is a probable issue facing individuals, organizations, companies, and groups today that was not present in the past.

5.) "Crisis actors" will always be in play (ex: “sleeper cells” in key positions of power, authority, and influence) that will appear to direct an event or situation in a particular way.  Sometimes, both rival Superpowers will send “crisis actors” in order to create the opportunity most beneficial to them.

6.) Big Brother = “Big Bother”.  However, no government (even rival superpowers) want citizens to be free and non-dependent on the government. Presently the term, "Statism" is a new political term used by the media, by institutions, and by politicians to hide the similarities “Statism” has with Communism, Fascism, Corporatism, and the “Nanny State” -though it is exactly the same thing. Enemies of “Statism” will be "Libertarians", "Terrorists", “Anarchists”, “Social Degenerates”, and "Conspiracy Theorists".  The New World Order is creating this sort of Regional government in place to cull the population.

7.)  Every life can alter another life sequentially and you do not know if by eliminating a particular person what the sequential outcome will have on the world, region, or community. Hermits and ascetics are the easiest to eliminate but ramifications could still occur even when eliminating a hermit or ascetic.

8.)  A “Cold War” always follows a “Hot War” though in the history books, through institutes, and through the media and entertainment sector, it is not referred to that.  In fact, war never stops between opponents it just changes forms.  Only our perception of the war has changed and we believe it has stopped or has not stopped and therefore still continues.

9.) "Age of Global Anarchy" (presently)

10.)  In the political arena, there is "Naked" Aggression VS "Subtle" Aggression.

11.)  In the past, the UN was about “idealists” and “theorists” selling reality to people in order to get a predictive outcome.  However, presently the UN is filled with more and more celebrities selling reality, possible scenarios, and outcomes to people (ex: George Clooney, Leonardo Di Caprio, Victoria Beckham, Emma Watson, David Beckham, Angelina Jolie, etc.).  This is who the masses are today. “Hero-worship” by the masses let celebrities think for us and plead for us to act.  We do not trust politicians but we trust celebrities oddly enough to push us forth on a political act (whatever that act may be).

12.)  "Rescued", "Saved" are both “loaded” terms that should subtly be used in the media and through social institutes instead of the way it is overused presently.  However, because it is an umbrella term in our reality it hides so much of what actually happened and played out.  The “loaded” words enable us to believe in romantic stories and romantic myths and create hero worship cults when in fact, it hides more than it reveals.

13.)  Criminalization of the United Nations began with the inception of the United Nations and the Security Council. It was unavoidable for the UN to not be a partner to crime since after World War 2 ended, we have been in the “Cold War” and the “War on Terror” and the United Nations has been complicit throughout it all without actually limiting the abuses of the members of the Security Council or its allies.

14.)  National parks may be used as mass grave sites when biological outbreaks and rebellions occur in urbanized metropolitan cities in the “First World” and “Second World”. The environmental movement will have served the Business movement by preserving the very thing needed for bodies to be disposed of quickly and quietly.

15.) In the manufactured and constructed social and physical reality that you live in presently, "There are three types of lies: Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics".  Truth must be lived and experienced.  Searched for in an unbiased way.  You must remove your identity and ego to seek it or you will always be caught in social narrative and social lies.

16.)  “Progressives” believe that "all cultures are equal". Yet, "if all cultures are equal" then why are we allowed to criticize some cultural policies, some cultural narratives, and some cultural histories but not others?  If all “cultures are equal” we should be able to dissect cultural policies, cultural narrative, and cultural histories equally and yet we are not.  It is socially accepted to criticize Western culture, Western narratives, Western values, and Western history yet taboo to speak about Islamic culture, Islamic narratives, Islamic values, and Islamic history. (Progressives = Liberals =”Political Correctness”).  In fact, not one “leftist” has attacked Historical Islam.  Instead, “Leftists” just attack Zionists, Jews, the Elite, and Christians -which are easy targets.  However, this is a Disinformation tactic that is boiling underneath in a powder keg ready to explode at any time in any society that could spill over everywhere.  There are no “good” guys or “bad” guys.  There is just history!

17.) Military suicides have overtaken combat deaths since 2012

18.)  How do you change the past? You can change the past by writing it differently in your head and writing it differently in books. The past can always be altered because it is based on perception, facts always get lost in the story.  You are not writing the past for yourself but for others to look at, accept, and remember.

19.)  Resistance movements always pop up versus imperial Expansion and imperial Empires. History changes depending on who wins this battle.

20.)  SYRIA -Although it is true that ISIS/ “moderate death squads” had seized control over the oil refineries in Eastern Syria and were using them for their own strategic purposes it is also true that, in a large portion of these areas, the SAA (Syrian Arab Army) was poised to retake control. This is particularly the case in Dayr el Zor, where the SAA had recently launched a major offensive against the death squads causing ISIS fighters to become trapped due to aerial bombardment.  In fact, escape routes were cut off by the SAA . In other words, the death squads were trapped in Dayr el Zor, the city was weeks away from being liberated, and the surrounding areas were set to be re-conquered by the SAA. This, of course, would have led directly to the re-taking of the oil refineries by the Syrian government. Unfortunately, that opportunity has now been lost as a result of the U.S. airstrikes which destroyed the refinery infrastructure. It should also be remembered that most of the death squads fled these areas after being given forewarning of a series of imminent American airstrikes, thus causing the civilian casualties to be higher in number than those of the ISIS fighters the strikes were allegedly targeting. Indeed, many of these fighters have appeared in Northern Syria on the Syria/Turkey border reinforcing other death squad battalions in efforts to re-open supply lines from Turkey. It is also important to note that virtually none of the infrastructure being destroyed by the United States airstrikes was built by ISIS. It was built by the Syrian government. The reality of the bombing campaign is that the United States and its allies are destroying important regions of Syria and leaving nothing of real value for the Syrian military to re-take after its long-fought battles against ISIS. Thus, headlines across the world should more accurately read “US Bombs Syrian Oil Refineries To Prevent Assad From Retaking Them". Of course, while it is most likely true that ISIS is using their commandeered oil sites to support themselves on a number of fronts, and even attempting (with some success) to sell that oil, the idea that ISIS is somehow able to evade the most sophisticated monitoring network in the entire world during the process of obtaining, refining, selling, and delivering oil across the region is entirely unbelievable. Regardless, it must be pointed out that, among the countries listed as hosting ISIS customers by mainstream outlets like CNN, Turkey and Jordan are at the top of the list.  However, both are close American allies and one is a member of NATO. Even more interesting is the fact that ISIS has also allegedly sold “black market” oil to buyers in a number of EU member states. Yet the idea itself seems like more of a cover to mask the true nature of the funding of ISIS and other Takfiri militants operating in Iraq and Syria, namely that the funding is coming directly from the United States, NATO, and the G.C.C. There are even ridiculous claims presented that ISIS was funding itself entirely through secretive private Twitter donations and the sales of ISIS merchandise.  The “oil sales” argument is one that should be taken with a healthy dose of salt. After all, mainstream outlets are also asserting that ISIS is selling some of this oil to the Syrian government, a lose-win-lose situation for both sides and a rather poor attempt to portray Assad as an ally of ISIS.  Moreover, the US and its allies are presently bombing empty buildings as part of this theater presentation! We are making the same mistakes we did in Vietnam, bombing "suspected truck parks" that turned out to be empty fields!  The US Airstrikes on Syria Mark the Start of a Long War in many ways.

21.)  If Afghanistan has been known as “the Graveyard of Empires,” in the past, in our time, it may also be called ‘the Playground of Foreign Aid Experimentation.’ ” From 2006 to 2011, development aid from countries and multilateral organizations amounted to more than $30 billion, with limited results, since much of the funds fueling “mismanagement and corruption.” In a single year, there were more than 700 projects dedicated to girls and women, yet these focused predominantly on women in urban areas, with barely measurable results that are likely to be reversed in the event of a Taliban return to power. Supposedly, successful initiatives in education boast impressive numbers of students registered, but “half of Afghanistan’s newly created schools have no actual buildings, many lack teachers, most students never graduate, and one-fifth of the registered students are permanently absent.”

22.)  “JUST ONE MORE THING”- This is, of course, is what the US and Israel have wanted all along, and they have been playing this cute game called "Just one more thing." It goes like this. As soon as an agreement is about to be reached, the US says, "Just one more thing." Then a new agreement is put together and just as it is ready, the US again says, "Just one more thing." Then "Just one more thing." Then "Just one more thing." Then "Just one more thing."  Finally the other party, in this case Iran or Palestine, realizes that the US is not bargaining in good faith and quits, allowing the US to claim the other side is being unreasonable and walked away from negotiations! Because the US and Israel do not want peace with Iran or Palestine. They want war and to make it look like the other side is to blame for it.

23.)  "Depopulation of Rural Areas Will Give Obama and any other American president that succeeds him, Stalin-Like Control over Food".  The flood of produce into the US to save Europe will create a surplus, driving down prices. That will be good for the US consumer but will destroy USA’s domestic producers of those same items, who will be unable to pay the mortgages on their farms and orchards, setting them up to have their properties foreclosed on by the bankers.  Simultaneously, it also eliminates the power of: wheat unions, farm unions, farm monopolies and enables Free Trade deals that are presently frozen to go through and be rushed through Congress and Parliament.  Free trade deals presently will privatize the farming sector and farming lands handing the lands over to Corporations such as Monsanto.  These free trades cannot be reversed since Countries and corporations can take other countries to court for breaching the deals of the Free Trade Agreement that binds nations and its citizens to be locked in for a set of time.

24.)  “Ukraine bought some old T-72's from Hungary for 8,500 dollars each, their value as scrap metal. Now Ukraine does not use the T-72, it uses the later t-80 and t-84. However, Russia still uses the T-72.  Ukraine bought these tanks to plant near the border and frame Russia for an invasion”.  This is how “False Flags “occur, the vilification of nations commences, and war begins in a “blink of an eye “between allies, neighbors, and friends.

25.)  VICE is a government controlled false alternative media source that still leads to the same result as the right wing new stations that you see.  Again, the entertainment sector and the media play a huge part in creating a particular atmosphere needed for a “war climate”.

26.)  "National Day of Rage" -be careful when it is called into play for many variables will be in play during those days and during those events.  Many opportunistic “players” will use this for their political and financial gains.  Lives lost and those injured will be nothing more than collateral damage.  However, lives lost and those injured will be portrayed as “martyrs” in order to gain the “sympathy vote” in order to push forward with agendas and long sought after achievable plans that were not present without the social climate being present first.

27.)  Tribes rebelling versus Rulers in Islamic controlled populaces (first under Sunni rule, then under Ottoman rule, and now the West are caught in that phase).  In the Middle East & North Africa, tribes are rebelling against appointed rulers.

28.)  No anti-war movement has ever successfully succeeded in stopping the “War machine” once it is in motion.

29.)  NATO has no real purpose since America did everything for everyone in the past as a hegemonic power (through the Cold War until 2014). NATO was nowhere except in Kosovo. NATO in fact, was created for the Cold War.  However, when the Cold War finished, why was it still there when it was not needed? (unless, it has always been there to fight Russia, which is why it has emerged again presently. NATO was never eliminated or phased out because the West was not done fighting Russia which continued after the USSR collapsed in 1991.  The West actually expanded their influence into Eastern lands which is why there are so many problems presently in Georgia, Ukraine, and former USSR nations.  Presently, NATO is finishing what it started against the USSR in the Cold War –and arguably the West is finishing what it has started against Russia since the Napoleonic Wars, Crimean War, and World War 1).

30.)  "The more privileged the more spoiled. The more spoiled the more self obsessed. The more self obsessed the nastier. The nastier, the more unhappy. And the more unhappy, the more demanding, to fill all the holes and gaps".  This is what an Imperial nation and an Imperial power creates for its citizens historically.  The spoils of wars also create attitude problems and problems of arrogance and entitlement that are hard to phase out in society once they take a grip on society.

31.)  Debt, Vaccines (medication and medication supplies), and Food have always been used as a Weapon especially when International Aid is used for Population Control.  Individuals, regions, and families are all collateral damage and pawns used for PR campaigns by rival superpowers.

32.)  "Our lie that we use is that we are not at war with Islam. Islam's lie is that they are ‘tolerant’ of other religions. The West want to tie, but Islam wants to win".  This is what is at stake presently.  Secularization vs. Islam.

33.)   "If you win it's a revolution, if you lose it's a civil war"

34.)  Wars are: 

(a) Workers killing workers (Marxist);

(b) People killing people (Humanitarian);

(c) Numbers fluctuating on a day-to-day basis (Statisticians);

(d) Houses broken, families torn apart, and trauma sustained (Sociologists);

(e) Money being spent, money being lost, money being gained (Finances)

35.)  China has now officially made the U.S.A.'s “Special High Interest Targets” list!

36.)  Name me one terror attack that actually accomplished anything beneficial to the alleged terrorists?  Israel’s “Irgun” who is best known for the bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem on 22 July 1946 and the Deir Yassin massacre carried out together with “Lehi” on 9 April 1948.  “Irgun” was the political predecessor to Israel's right wing “Herut” (or "Freedom") party, which led to today's “Likud” party.  Moreover, “Likud” has actually led or been part of most Israeli governments since 1977.

37.) Steps to War:  Train natives first using intelligence agencies. Second, send “military advisors”.  Third, use Air strikes.  Fourth, use Coalition forces.  Lastly, use ground troops.

38.)  "White washing" history has enabled us to forget mercenaries (foreign and domestic) have always existed alongside Intelligence Agencies throughout history.  Mercenaries have been present and used in all Empires even ancient dynasties have used them to subdue and eliminate enemies and rivals.

39.)  No identity can ever live in theory or the “purity” of idealism. It will always alter and consolidate around culture and geopolitics that always exist when the ideology becomes present and active.  The identity and ideology will become what it tried not to become (ex: rituals, traditions, violent, literal, structural, etc.)

40.)  "Terroronia" (terrorism + paranoia).  This is the propaganda that has historically been used to create a complicit atmosphere for the populace to believe in and join in.  The “enemy” is everywhere will be carefully constructed, manufactured, and then sold to the masses ad infinitum.

41.)  When war erupts, Patriots will become accused of aiding, "The Enemy".  At this moment in time, everyone will become a suspect.

42.)  Presently there is a push to privatize police in the USA instead of publicly funded police 

(ex: Blackwater and major transnational security companies). Lobbyists are pushing for it presently.  This is another reason why the militarization of the police force took place over the years after 9/11.

43.)  “From society to a pack. Society unravels from civilization to packs fighting each other” in a blink of an eye when chaos emerges in a society that considers itself "civilized" and it's individuals "civilized".  Society only suppresses and contains the primal human element, it does not fully eradicate it.

44.)  USA’s allies (the coalition forces of the willing) in Syria and Iraq are all enemies of Syria, Iran (and Shia’s). ISIS hates Shia’s as well.  Syria and Iran are now trapped with nowhere to go.  Iran and Syria have to ally themselves with Russia and China and the coalition that Russia and China creates in order to survive.  After being targeted for war and avoiding war for 10 years (from 2001 to 2010), in the past 3 years (2011 to 2014) Syria faced tribal rebellion backed by the West.  Now they face ISIS fighters trained by the West.  Soon, they will face off with the West.  Choice has been taken away from the Syrian government over time, bit-by-bit.  This is how Empires nibble away, one nibble at a time, before eliminating something that was in it's way, no matter the lives lost.  Pawns are made to be used and put away when they have served their purpose.  

45.)  You will never know what you are getting into, what you had, and what you risked -until it plays out completely in reality. However, reality always sets in with a vengeance not like a thief in the night and before you know it, your reality has forever been changed and can never be reversed.

46.)  Barking is just rhetoric for the masses to take actions.  It is done to cause social pressure on a Social Actor on the World Stage.  Eventually, (a) someone is going to have to act or (b) whatever caused the barking will continue (and the issue will be left unresolved).

47.)  “The Enemy of My Enemy Is My Friend” is widely attributed to the Arabs however, it is actually much older.  It originated in the 4th century B.C. in India.  Kautilya –  the “Indian Machiavelli”  who wrote about the idea in the Sanskrit military book, “the Arthashastra”.

48.)  “Precision” strikes are not that “precise”.  Strikes are made based on the intelligence that is given to a military unit, which is gathered through reconnaissance teams, informants, and “sleeper cells”.  Strikes are then performed that are needed to be made, however it often does result in civilian deaths, which are “collateral damage” in war.  Hence, individuals, families, and communities are all pawns when rival superpowers fight in war.

49.) “Deaths in the past through wars” are not comparable to “deaths in the present through wars”.  Due to the population booms in the 19^th and 20^th centuries, many of the areas are presently populated and centralized.  However, in the past, many of the areas were not as populated or centralized.  Often times, a village was a tribe or kinship, nothing more, with about 300-1000 people living in it.  One life lost was a huge amount for that tribe and kinship.  There was not that much movement or mass migration in the past so one life lost in a village or community affected the whole community.  Armies took time to be called upon and rally together to even have a force needed to fight a military war.  Hence, why many of the wars were defensive and not aggressive.  This is why many of the aggressive campaigns were done by nomadic tribes and Empires (or both types simultaneously).  Everyone else was just pawns caught in the middle of a battlefield they wanted nothing to do with.

50.)   Sex and violence are often interlinked and this is the case in wars and military campaigns as well.  Especially in aggressive military campaigns where occupation takes place.  Rapes, “Sex camps”, Brothels, and Sexual Assaults take place on a regular basis.  Women of any age, religion, race and culture endured sexual violence.  The size of women, whether they were married or unmarried, whether they had children or were virgins -did not matter when they became targets of foreign armies (and even militias that were created in order to protect them used sexual violence on them).  Those that would protect the women or fought back against this type of humiliation would face death.  When occupying armies leave however, brothels, prostitutes/"used up" and "un-marriable women", and“sex camps” remain changing the fabric of that occupied area forever.
