The ‘Life is War’ Ideology of America

The forces that finally succeeded in taking control of the USA and most of the western world are currently going to great pains to promote, via the mass news and entertainment media they own, the belief that life is (perpetual) war; indeed a persistent colloquialism is, ‘life is war,’ but that adage was never intended to be applied or interpreted literally.

Nevertheless, an obscenely wealthy (acquired by theft) minority elite dearly wish that perpetual war becomes reality for the global community; however, the global majority have yet to be fully deceived, brainwashed/convinced – humans are an innately peaceful species regardless of our violent history. If the source of all wars were traced it would become readily apparent that wars are instigated, promoted and sustained by an unrepresentative self-serving elite minority, in whose financial interests it is to do so!

Today we accept a civilian killing US president that boasts a mafia style extra-judicial (assassination) ‘kill list,’ something that would have been INCONCEIVABLE only a few decades ago; we tolerate TORTURE and indefinite detention without trail or charge; we also remain passive when confronted with direct challenges to our personal liberties, freedoms and rights -- the warrantless pan surveillance of society, harvesting and storage of all forms of digital data/communication is an ongoing process which would have been vigorously opposed in the recent past. The criminal ruling elite view the masses as the enemy, for very good reason, if their sordid criminal activities were widely known/exposed they would immediately be wiped from the face of the earth.

The management of public/cultural perception is a continuous and pervasive process today, ideological conversion is occurring on a broader scale and at greater speed than ever before -- a relatively simple task for the owners of the mass media and the assets required to produce MONEY!

But to be sure, this external social conflict is a reflection of an internal conflict within each individual. Simply put, we are at war with ourselves, our morality and sense of justice oppose our learned hedonistic and selfish behaviours – our FEAR is at war with the offence we all take when we are exposed to gross unfairness and intolerable injustices.

If we do not or cannot effect change within ourselves what hope do we have of reforming society? We must first address and overcome the conflict that exists within ourselves before we attempt to reform society. Mastering self is mastering everything. It is a sad irony that OUR fear based acquiescence and sub-servience are the most powerful weapons the elite use against us! [See?]
