WHEN
MEN ARE GODS
FEAR FACTOR
By: Novakeo
Conquer they must conquer they will. Men of diabolical vision throughout
history often fed their respective nations a two-course meal in the myths of war and fear,
the myth of the glory of war, and the myth of the dangers to a civilized society from an
manufactured enemy that posed a serious and immediate threat. Fear has always been a
motivating factor used by the ruling elite to manipulate the citizenry to the 'noble
cause' in warfare against some artificial monster. We are manipulated into believing that
'glory' would be the beneficial reward in fighting the modern day crusade, a grotesque
manufacturing of a delusional form of 'honor,' a fallacy in true virtue.
The megalomaniacs that rule the United States believe that they are ordained by
providence, that their ideological fervor is the righteous manifestation of their
godliness, that they are the true bearers of freedom and sacrifice. The illusion that they
create with their unbridled mendacity has the society in a state of virtual hypnosis, the
masses are accustomed to unconditionally believe the State in the matters of freedom and
security; the State knows best, and any form of questioning towards the policies of the
ruling elite is to be considered a danger to the State, and certainly to be regarded as
unpatriotic behavior. They rule by fear and lies, they manipulate and contrive enemies
from abroad and from within so they can put their ideological formulations into play, the
result is unnecessary war.
The motivating factor for the War Party within the political establishment goes far
beyond ideological fervor, what drives the "gods of war" is fear
itself. They fear losing their grip on power; the fear in losing their financial and
political powerbase is what makes them most arrogant, conniving, and dangerous. The neocons
in the Republican Party are self-hating leftists, who need to manipulate the masses for
their own security because their greatest fear is an awakened citizenry. The masses are
what they fear most, and they use their own fears, and play on the fears of the ordinary
citizen to establish a highly monitored society, they need to control and monitor the
movement of the simpletons so they can feel secure. In the guise of establishing security
for all, they will establish a police state in its place, and this will be done with great
applause from the sheeple. Republics and democracies usually die a slow suicidal death,
where the rights of individuals are freely given up for a false sense of security;
totalitarians in most cases come to power from within the decayed nation, not from a band
of foreign terrorists.
The neoconservatives are Napoleon
wanna-bes, they want to be like the wine drunk Caesars. Without risking their own
lives they want to exercise their philosophies in creative destruction, and in doing so,
they consistently reveal themselves as the unequivocal bully full of cowardice and fear.
It is easy to stay the course in violence and intrigue when it is someone else's son or
daughter doing the dieing. There is no true remorse for the senseless destruction that the
Iraq quagmire has produced, a contrived
meaningless war based on fabrications and deception by a government that has completely
relegated the "rule of law" as ineffectual and anachronistic. The creators of
this worthless war have better things to do than contemplate on all those flag draped
coffins that fly in by the stealth of the night. |
The constitution is nothing more than a piece of paper for the War Party
and its minions. They talk about democracy and freedom when it is the least important
motivating factor for their unruly behavior. They do not really care about freedom and
democracy because real freedom for the masses means that their powerbase would be diluted
significantly, they cannot prosper the way they expect too when the masses have political
and financial clout, that is why the middle class in America was always considered by them
as the real threat to their power.
Thanks to NAFTA, CAFTA, and Globalism
in particular, the middle class in America is just about finished, all the good
manufacturing jobs are now in China and Mexico, that "great
sucking sound" of manufacturing jobs leaving the country that H. Ross Perot predicted is now no more
than a small hissing sound, the jobs are mostly gone, and the Bush, Clinton treachery is
simple to see for anyone that wants to take an honest look.
The "gods of war" enjoy demonizing their
opponents, no matter who they are, be it a grieving mother or a returned soldier, they
will stop at nothing for the continuation of their policies, in fact, the War Party
specifically use the "big lie" as
a qualified technique in establishing their policies, it is how they operate, it is who
they are. Take a look at some leading neocons like the loud-mouth leprechaun Bill O'Reilly
who described Cindy Sheehan, the mother of an American soldier killed in Iraq camped out
near Bush's Crawford, Texas, ranch, as: "in bed with the radical left,"
and her: "behavior
borders on treasonous." Then there are neoconservative whack-jobs like David
Horowitz and his sidekick Christopher Hitchens who try to portray Sheehan as an
unpatriotic extremist that is inadvertently in bed with the dark forces of terror. The
neocons fear an ordinary American mother that is making a stand against the real
"terror masters," she has both honor and an authentic sense of patriotism, and
the neocons despise that which they fear the most: a sincere mother of a dead soldier
questioning the neocons' public mendacity.
Without "monsters to slay"
the War Party ceases to be a viable political entity, they can only function in the
condition of war. Peace is their enemy, they cannot prosper and initiate their policies in
times of peace, so they must create foreign enemies to fight against, to destroy and
rebuild what they just finished destroying. It is no accident that the War Party has
strong connections to the Military Industrial Complex
and to conglomerates that build the
societal infrastructure of nations. War is their benefactor; violence is their reason for
being. They bankrupt nations while they prosper financially, they do not put on the
uniform, they deem themselves too valuable to risk their own lives, others do the killing
and dieing for them, and they privately disdain those that actually believe that the war
they are fighting is for a 'noble cause' and for their own freedom. The oligarchy
cynically knows very well that the simpletons are really sacrificing their lives for their
own enslavement.
Who knows war other than the vanquished, certainly not the modern day armchair warrior,
who can kill from a great distance. The holy warrior behind the desk does not know war,
only the dead and the dying know of the cauldron that is war. The ones that suffer for the
righteous cause know of war, its utter futility, in the end of any contrived conflagration
there are no winners, only losers on both sides. Victory for the invader is always
temporary, the false glory only honored on a specific day of remembrance; we are told that
they gave their lives for "freedom and security," for our way of life, in
reality they died for stale clichés and for the jostling of power by the ruling
plutocracy. International war is a fraud; it has always been a fraud, all the noble
causes, all the patriotic enthusiasm, is the devil's brew in deception and fear, for which
millions of sheep in the past have given their lives.
