It’s time for the truth about the War on Terror to Come Out of the Closet

in #war7 years ago (edited)

One of the struggles many people face when attempting to expose inconvenient truths on mass delusions is trying to keep cool in the face of gaslighters who have academia and the mainstream media to back them up on emotional topics like war.   Arguments are obviously more constructive with cool heads, but this rarely happens.  So whenever I hear someone drop a line about “supporting the troops fighting for our freedom,” or some other imperialist cliché, I know that if I want to take this opportunity to try and teach what I know about the American War Machine, I might witness a full scale meltdown coming from what I would call emotional blocks that one builds to protect the presumption of their own innocence.  

I do support the troops, but I don’t support the war. Big difference. The troop are fighting for a cabal as grim and powerful as any I have learned of through history, not for the people. This can be proven with facts if you look into without bias.  But it is a tough reckoning to realize everything you thought was reserved for the past in Nazi Germany or a future dystopian novel is going on today with bipartisan agreement in the country you call the land of the free. This realization can be made by looking into the war machine.  There is mainstream media evidence to back up the facts that, the US has used false flags to begin wars, the US has funded terrorist organizations to achieve regime changes, the US holds the right to detain and torture citizens without trial, the US has paid for fake terrorist videos to be made for propaganda, the US’s strategic allies in the Middle East (Saudi Arabia and Israel) are guilty of massive human rights abuses that are rarely talked about, weapons contractors and manufactures make billions of war, there is a revolving door between weapons contractors, politicians, oil tycoons and intelligence agencies, and every excuse used to justify a new or current war can be shown to be built on a false premise by looking at the results of all our “humanitarian wars,” ever since the US began meddling in foreign nations to “stop the spread of communism.” 

Despite the abundance of evidence that the talking points used by the US to generate support for war are as weak  as a pro-lifer’s talking point around keeping abortion illegal, the people who make up the US’s pro-war camp are not reserved to one demographic that everyone else thinks is nuts.  Democrat and republican loyalists find bi-partisan agreement that Assad is a madman, North Korea is dangerous, Israel needs our support, and Iran needs regime change.  And unlike topics like Agenda 21, where arguments will usually end on “he-said, she-said,” nonsense because there is simply not enough mainstream press to convince mainstream press-loyalists of anything, if all the mainstream evidence is laid on the table, there is no reason that anyone should leave an discussion on the US war machine believing that our country has any humanitarian purposes in our regime change wars.  Unless someone thinks the cause of world domination through force of might is worth applause.  I’ve had arguments like this before too, but this is basically a sociopathic opinion, and should be reserved for a small minority of nuts.  To support US world domination you have to be ok with the by-products of war like civilian deaths by the millions, refugees by the millions, sex-trafficking, organ-trafficking, slave markets, the creation of more terrorists, PTSD, and an overwhelming number of unchecked power abuses that showcase all the worst in humanity. 

Yet somehow with all this evidence, people will not challenge the accusations levied against Assad in real time no matter how many times the press recycles narratives that were used for false flags in the past.  People will not challenge the official narrative of 9/11 among company they do not trust.  Somehow, the anti-war camp has been thrown into the loony bin, and associated with groups like those who think Obama’s birth certificate was faked.  This is textbook gaslighting from the media.  The billionaires who own the media know their imperialist narrative is built on sand, and if a person realizes the lie, that person’s whole worldview built from false education and false press, might come crashing down with it.  The media barons need to work overtime to keep the anti-war crowd seen as freaks.  They’ve been working on it ever since Vietnam.  And it seems they’re winning. 15 years after Iraq, the narrative that America is fighting humanitarian wars is still winning even within the PBS, NPR and Democracy Now crowds.  

Once I recognized this, I realized how much power is kept in place by controlling the narrative.  This is why I write. The counter narratives need content to build momentum.  The more people who decide they will no longer be afraid to speak up, the harder it will be for the media barons to control the discussions.  More than any other single narrative, the imperialist’s script about regime change is due to a major upheaval. The facts are on our side.  There is no reason we should be quiet, and not stir the pot.  Congress has just voted to continue support for genocide in Yemen, war criminal John Bolton just became National Security Advisor, and every hint of peace talk with North Korea gets buried under sensations headlines about Trump tweets. It’s easy to see things become much worse very quickly if the anti-war movement does not come out of the closet and into the mainstream soon.
