A Just War

"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."

— George Orwell

Truth is one of the rarest things in this world. The times we are living in demonstrate great spiritual darkness, ignorance, deception, oppression, and corruption. In these times, the Light barely shines, and Darkness rules — generally unobserved or unknown. How is it possible that this goes unnoticed, in daily life? How could a person possibly be living in a world of deception, in an illusion, and not even know it? How could nearly everyone be doing the same?

Most people have the same illusions — the ones their society trains them to believe and obey — so, for most people, nothing seems to be out of the ordinary. The "consensus reality" is accepted as "normal," and the small minority who question things are seen as being troublesome, wrong, disruptive, or irrational. They are labeled disloyal by their leaders, who declare that if you are not with the president then you are against America. And people believe that. Put in a continual state of fear by phony, daily, Homeland Security "terror alerts," and fed continual lies, people will support, fund, or believe any deceitful agenda offered as their "salvation."

Their programmed fear has caused the American people to incur a debt of five hundred billion dollars for an illusory war on terror, fought in the wrong country, against the wrong people, for the wrong reasons.

You must realize that there are forces that orchestrate our involvement in war. They create the pretext, incense ego and emotion, rally the ignorant and unaware, and point the finger at whomever they blame for all their problems. It is all a charade, a deadly charade. When you kill one person it is called "murder," but when you kill hundreds of thousands or millions of innocent people, it is sanctified as the glory of war. There's really nothing wrong with killing all of those other people; the only problem is when your own people are being killed. Can you see the insanity in this?

Why do we go to war? Is it really a matter of geo-political reality or "necessity"? Or is it more a matter of what is within us, rather than what is out there in the world? It is all too easy to scapegoat others, to blame them for our problems. The last thing people wish to accept is their own responsibility, and their responsibility for causing problems or making enemies. They refuse to admit they are wrong. And it doesn't matter how many human beings have to die to keep the Truth from coming to light — whether they are your own people or some "evil foreigners," people who might not think like us. But when it comes to war, who is really thinking at all, and who is telling the truth?

Did you know that in America, every day, people lie in one-quarter of their interactions with others? Lying is so common, so acceptable, we hardly even notice or care anymore — even when our leaders lie to our faces. Few people understand the times in which they live, or see through the lies. Simply because we were born in a time when lies and deception are indeed universal, unless we take steps to actively seek the truth, we have little hope of realizing it or knowing it. Otherwise, we may live a lie.

There is something fundamentally deceitful, immoral, and wrong about war.

Many Americans do not see what is wrong with war, because they believe their leaders. This is a result of propaganda. Only those fighting on the ground, forced to kill innocent men, women, and children, truly see what is wrong with war. They often return traumatized, deeply troubled, and in many cases, unable to resolve the horrors they have seen and done. Their leaders are untroubled by ordering the killing of people, or by the maiming and death of their own soldiers. Families of dead American servicemen and women are denied the chance to welcome the caskets of their loved ones back on American soil, as the government prohibits any news coverage or publicly witnessed family grief over the war.

Such manipulation solely to maintain illusions and uninformed public support of the war, is unconscionable. But, then, the entire war was based upon lies. Rather than trying to achieve the security and freedom of Iraqis, the US objective was to eliminate any reporting of the war, right from the start, other than its own limited, censored "news." The US government seems to believe that instead of being accountable for its decisions and actions — its wrongs — it merely needs to stop the flow of information about it, to the American people. It has been doing this for a long time. read more ...
