If The Wars Go On

Edward Curtin

I suppose my title could have been couched in the singular form, as Hermann Hesse, the Nobel Prize winning German/Swiss author, did with his collection of anti-war essays about World War I (the war to end all wars that didn’t), If The War Goes On . . .  

Or more appropriately, I might have eliminated that conditional “If” since it seems Pollyannish.

It’s a long hard road, this anti-war business.  During the first Cold War and the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis in the early sixties when Kennedy and Krushchev narrowly avoided blowing the world to smithereens, Bob Dylan put it right in his fierce song, Masters of War:

Come, you masters of war
You that build the big guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks

Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain

Indeed there is a system of war that guarantees that the various wars go on and on ad infinitum, and they are linked.  It is why the warfare state has killed our anti-war leaders, first and foremost JFK for turning against war in the last year of his presidency.  Then in 1968, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Bobby Kennedy in quick succession.

It is why if you dare to look around the world today, you will see that there is a series of wars happening, not only in the obvious places like Ukraine and Gaza, but in places that you may never have heard of, and if you peek a bit further into their causes, you will discover that a familiar culprit with 750 plus military bases around the world has its hand in most of them – the United States of America.

These wars have their cold and hot phases.

There are days when the corporate media let them sleep and other times when the same media wake them a bit, but never enough to wake their readers up to the reality of the deadly game. That is the media’s job as stenographers for the warfare state.  Wars being essentially the health of the state, as Randolph Bourne wrote long ago, they provide vast profits for the military-industrial complex/Wall St., whether they are in preparation or in operation, awake or asleep, hot or cold.

Ray McGovern, the former CIA analyst with a moral conscience, has aptly named this vast interlocking propaganda apparatus the military-industrial-congressional-intelligence-media-academia-think-tank complex, MICIMATT.  It is a complex that blatantly serves the interests of the masters of war who “ain’t worth the blood/that runs in [their] your veins,” in Dylan’s words.

The preparation for war is war.  What is prepared must be used up, so other weapons can be prepared to be used up, so other weapons can be prepared to be used up, and on and on until one day no one is left to use anything, for the world will be used up in a nuclear conflagration.

These weapons are produced in nice clean factories that pay good wages to people who take their pay and go their way, giving their souls to the killers.  For the U.S. economy is built on the waging of wars so continuous that it is nearly impossible to find a break between its hot and cold phases, or what seems like decent employment and the diabolic.  They are so intertwined.  It is a system of capitalistic finance, a revolutionary system that builds to destroy.

The U.S spends nearly $900  billion dollars annually on “defense” spending; this is more than China, Russia, India, Saudi Arabia, the U.K., Germany, France, South Korea, and Japan combined. The USA is a warfare state; it’s as simple as that.  And whether they choose to be aware of it or not, the vast majority of Americans support this killing machine by their insouciance and silence.  That their country is spending up to 2 trillion dollars on modernizing its nuclear weapons disturbs them  not.  It is a death cult.

Some – as I myself have done mistakenly – talk about the “deep state” or some other deceptive phrase that conceals the truth that the official state is the “deep state.”  It stares us in the face, but many refuse to stare it back down.  It is too obvious, standing, as it does, in the way of a life of illusions.

And what is equally apparent today – or should be if one is not asleep – is that because of the war policies of the U.S., the chances of another world war and the use of nuclear weapons is rising by the day.  Despite all its denials to the contrary, the US/NATO is pushing for open warfare with Russia that will involve the use of nuclear weapons.

Our masters of war are pushing us toward a nuclear abyss.

In a recent perceptive article, “Russia and China Have Had Enough,” Pepe Escobar writes truths many prefer not to hear.  That there is no split between Russia and China but the opposite – a rock solid Russia-China strategic partnership and a determination to oppose and defeat the U.S./UK/NATO hybrid war tactics across Eurasia and the Middle East.

That the more these U.S.-led forces attempt to destroy Russia, the more the expanding alliances involved in the Shanghai Cooperative Agreement (SCO) and the expanding BRICS partnerships of emerging economies (originally just Brazil, Russia, India, and then South Africa; now also Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, United Arab Emirates, with many more countries waiting to join) will gain in power.

In Escobar’s words, “. . . the Global Majority is on the move: Russia is closely cooperating, increasingly, with scores of nations in West Asia, wider Asia, Africa and Latin America.”

Despite this fact, the United States and its allies blithely continue as if their control of the world order is secure.  That they can butcher and badger the world into submission.  The insane are usually deluded, but when they control nuclear weapons, the people of the world need to awaken.

Ray McGovern, a Russia expert, (see raymcgovern.com) has echoed Escobar on the absurdity of the Russian China split; has emphasized how Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians has made it an isolated but desperate pariah state; and how the U.S. war against Russia in Ukraine is leading to the increased use of  U.S. tactical nuclear weapons that could lead to full-scale nuclear war.  He is not alone in this warning.

There are many signs that we are moving toward a nuclear war with calls for U.S./NATO to support more strikes inside Russia, crossing a very dangerous Russian red line.  Russia has made it very clear they will respond.  As politicians of various stripes – French President Macron, NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, et al. have ecstatically been urging the Biden administration, who needs no urging, to escalate the war in Ukraine by attacking Russia proper (“The time has come for allies to consider whether they should lift some of the restrictions they have put on the use of weapons they have donated to Ukraine,” Stoltenberg told The Economist.), Mike Whitney has written about a recent such attack that should send chills down everyone’s spines –  “Washington Attacks Key Elements of Russia’s Nuclear Umbrella Threatening Entire Global Security Architecture.” – but  since the corporate media ignore it, most will dream away and get their barbecues ready for Fourth of July celebrations.

They and the flag-dressed Dolly Parton can sing all they want about when Johnny comes marching home again, but Dolly and no one will be jolly if there are no homes to march to, no Johnnies marching anywhere but to death, no anything.  Just a wasteland.

Michel Chossudovsky, Ray McGovern, Eva Bartlett, Craig Murray, Patrick Lawrence, Vanessa Beeley, Pepe Escobar, Oliver Stone, Andrew Napolitano, Craig Paul Roberts, Scott Ritter, Chris Hedges, Alastair Crooke, Caitlin Johnstone, Peter Koenig, Finian Cunningham, Diana Johnstone, Lew Rockwell, and so many other sane but marginalized writers whose names I am omitting as I write quickly, are warning us of our closeness to nuclear annihilation.  Cassandras all, I fear.  Marginalized prophets such as writer and antinuclear activist James W. Douglass (Lightning East to West, JFK and the Unspeakable, etc.) have been issuing such warnings for decades.  It is understandable that so many turn away from such warnings, for the thought of a nuclear war induces deep anxiety hard to control.  But unless the vast majority can break through such reticence and see through the official propaganda, the world will be destroyed by madmen sooner or later.  The signs today all point to sooner, for we are on the edge of the abyss.

Former British diplomat Alistair Crooke, in a recent article – The brink of dissolution: Neurosis in the West as the levee breaks – writes about how the Biden administration’s policy toward Russia-China, not to say Israel-Palestine, being nothing more than more of the same, is stupid, self-defeating, and very dangerous.  Rather than accepting that its proxy war against Russia in Ukraine is a disaster, the U.S. is escalating the conflict to a terrifying level.  Rather than accepting the obvious deep alliance between China and Russian exemplified in the recent hug between Putin and Xi and their joint 8,000 word joint statement, Biden has said, “Russia is in a very, very difficult spot right now. They are being squeezed by China.” 

It doesn’t get any stupider.  But when more of the same doesn’t work and you can’t accept the reality of a changing world order, you do more of the same.  Crooke, writes:

The paradox is that Team Biden – wholly inadvertently – is midwifing the birth of a ‘new world’. It is doing so by dint of its crude opposition to parturition. The more the western élites push against the birthing – through ‘saving Zionism’; ‘saving European Ukraine’ and by crushing dissent – perversely they accelerate the foundering of Leviathan.

President Xi’s double farewell hug for President Putin following their 16-17 May summit nonetheless sealed the birth – even the New York Times, with customary self-absorption, termed the warm embrace by Xi as ‘defiance of the West’.

The root of the coming dissolution stems precisely from the shortcoming that the NY Times headline encapsulates in its disdainful labelling of the seismic shift as base anti-westernism.

More of the same, yes, that is Biden’s approach, inflamed regularly by the anti-Russian hatred spewed by The New York Times and its ilk.  It is an obsession bordering on full-fledged madness, yet it is integral to the belief that the U.S. is an empire and will remain one while the rest of the world can go to hell.  Such a mindset is behind the U.S.’s abrogating all the nuclear weapons treaties that provided a semblance of security that nuclear weapons would not be used.

Crooke ends his piece with these sobering words:

Put plainly, with the U.S. unable to exit or to moderate its determination to preserve its hegemony, Lavrov [Sergey Lavrov, Russian Foreign Minister] sees the prospect for increased western weapons provision for Ukraine. The discourse of military escalation is in fashion in Europe (of that there is no doubt); but both in the Middle East and Ukraine, western policy is in deep trouble. There must be doubts whether the West has either the political will, or the internal unity, to pursue this aggressive course. Dragging wars are not traditionally thought to be ‘voter friendly’ when campaigning reaches its peak.

Let me repeat that last understated sentence: “Dragging wars are not traditionally thought to be ‘voter friendly’ when campaigning reaches its peak.”  And so?  More of the same?

Ray McGovern suggests what is more likely:

Israel [is] becoming a dangerous pariah; Ukraine/US/NATO a dangerous loser. As Israel defies the UN, and as the “exceptional” geniuses around Biden ignore Kremlin warnings regarding provocations re Ukraine, the likelihood increases for US use of tactical nukes.

Desperadoes do desperate things.  In Biden and Netanyahu we have two blood-thirsty nihilists at the end of their ropes.  These masters of war make me think that a better title for this piece would have been:

If the World Goes On.

“During the first Cold War and the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis in the early sixties when Kennedy and Krushchev narrowly avoided blowing the world to smithereens…”
But there is a stark lesson the nuclear powers have not learned from history, a pattern they ignore that their peril. If they continue blindly on the current trajectory humanity will perish https://patternofhistory.wordpress.com/ . Teleologically, they are convinced they know the true outcome of history. But there is only one teleological certainty, which can be summed up in a simple syllogism: every empire eventually faces the war it is trying to avoid; everyone wants to avoid WWIII; therefore that is the state that awaits. Paradoxically, the only chance of avoiding that fate is to accept it, something I explore in my e-pamphlet The Doomsday Syllogism. https://www.candlinandmynard.com/doomsday.html

At any one time there are billions of us working across the globe, engaged in all manner of functionally differential practices…. And all that activity is centrally controlled? According to most commentators—it is! If it was, there would be no spontaneity, no creativity, and no chance. The “unpredictability factor” alone rules out centralised rule, as Johnny says below (for 20+ downvotes). So the overly reductive consensus that “19 banking families rule the world” is true, but if and only if us billions agree. Call this by Wittgenstein’s terms, an anthropological “agreement in the form of life.”

So what happens if, say, ‘China’ withdraws its agreement? The Chinese economy and the global economy collapse instantaneously as a form of “mutually assured destruction”. Remember, it was ‘China’s” internal development programme—including building all those “ghost cities”—that saved the global economy post 2008. Humans cooperate globally to create an economy of global scale (global scale of economy) that is far more advanced than any of its constituent parts, be they continental or country…. at least in active principle, we all agree. At least we agreed with the globalist levels of consumer materialism up until now.

That consumerist conglomerate produces our commodities, including our bodies, so we ‘agree’ not only in consumer lifestyle, but we actually physically embody our agreement in the form of life in the form of our physical being. By unwritten “obligate mutualist” agreement, we are all de facto globalists. The UK is the perfect example of a country that could not even grow enough food to support its population without being part of such a mutualistic anthropological agreement, let alone produce a global economy from resources sourced within it territory.

If we truly disagreed with the ‘central banking cartel’ and their form of life, we will have to embody another form of agreement that will only provide a much, much smaller way of sustaining our globalist bodily agreement with a small surplus to share (as education, arts, leisure facilities, medicine and so on.) So do we really fundamentally disagree? If not, the function of all this “Pavlovian fear-porn” is to make us cling to our positions in the globalist economy to protect ourselves and our owned. Exactly replicating the fear-porn driven behaviour that put the bodies of our imagined scapegoats in the ovens not even a century ago. Did we learn nothing about the inherent cognitive dissonance of saving our owned economic status in the meantime?

Please read one of the books linked below to understand how money works, boom and bust cycles are not natural, they create easy money with low interest loans and we get a boom, then fiscally tighten reducing the supply of money to create a bust, where they buy up the enterprises that were possible in the boom for pennies on the dollar. Money is issued as debt, bearing interest, to private central banks, it doesn’t have to be that way.

If governments issued soverign money, debt free, there would be no need for income tax.

The bankers fund the economic schools, they brainwash the economists to believe an alternative system would create hyperinfation a la weimar republic, but how did Hitler perform his “Economic Miracle” to make Germany the richest country in Europe starting from nothing? He issued money free of debt outside the privately owned central banking cartels clutches. There was no hyperinflation, the country thrived, but then we all know what happened next, they couldn’t let that example stand.

Same thing happened to Libya…

Since Aristotle, money is an agreement between people that something has value. The ‘something’ can be cowrie shells as much as coin. All money, apart from commodity money, is hot air!

Right now, our agreement about coin being currency is extremely tenuous, if not yet meaningless. Money is a claim on future energy and matter that if we honour will result in life being destabilised, possible even forfeit. I mean, we have already disposed of nearly all mammalian biodiversity for the love of money. And we have forced 80% of our own kind into poverty to produce our wealth and our bodies. What next?

Money does not work. Not for us. Not for biodiversity. Not for life. Bataille, Lotka, Goergescu-Rogen, the Odum’s, Klitgaard and Hall are just some who have shown that money and life are incompatible. It would be good if governments issued sovereign money with or without interest makes no difference, it is what ‘we’ invest our energy in that matters. Even if the government issues debt free currency, it must be spent on ecology, not extending the economy. Does it never occur to anybody that if we produced what we need for ourselves then not only would we end world poverty–by not extracting excess from the impoverished–and there would be no great excess for any banking dynasties?

Neo-Classical Economics has been debunked so many times, but here we are. The global economy is systemically fragile and endemically greed maximising. Because of that, ecology is systemically fragile under relentless assault to turn life into Number. WTF? As I was saying, if we actually disagree with the current form of life we need to invest in a much more local economy of scale within natural boundaries. That is the only thing that money can be invested in that bears a living return on investment.

There’s a perspective which seems to be entirely lost on the numerous “critical thinkers” in this forum.

First, let me acknowledge that, in keeping with the prevailing perspective in this forum, I might very well be a dupe of the “globalists” – even, God forbid, a “useful idiot” – because I accept things too much at face value.

On the other hand – and this is the perspective which is so hard to find here – it is possible that the advocates of the “globalist cabal” idea might very well also be duped by the very ones they’re presenting as the cause of virtually everything that happens in the global arena. This would of course be the “Wizard of Oz” syndrome: ascribing immense powers to someone who in reality has no such power. The power resides, not in their hands, but in the fingers being pointed their way.

“Russia: do this! China: do that! USA: do the other!” and so on around the world. A few people – predominately central bankers – dictating social, political and military terms to 195 nations? Really? Truly? Honestly? Rationally?

Boris didn’t fly into Kiev when they had agreed a peace deal and say “Oi Ukraine NO” then?

Libya didn’t get bombed to smithereens when Gaddafi was about to launch a gold backed Dinar as an alternative, for the whole of Africa, to the international central banking cartel either? Of course nobody said “NATO do THAT” but someone formeted a colour revolution to start the civil war that allowed certain security council members to vote on saying “NATO do THAT”. You think it was really about protecting little brown people from genocide? (lol)

Churchill didn’t refuse 16 separate German peace attempts from September 1939-June 1941 after Hitler performed “An economic miracle” by removing germany from the international central banking cartel either?

Saddam wasn’t trying to set up alternative payment systems to get away from the dollar before Iraq got bombed to smithereens either.

Have you ever read Quigly, Sutton, Smedly Butler? Have you read anything about who finiances wars and who benefits? Anything about how the central abking cartel works? Anything about the richest families in the world and how they got their wealth? You think boom and bust cycles are just natural occurences (lol)

Of course not, it was supposed to be about a “no fly zone” to “to take all necessary measures to protect civilians under threat of attack in the country” but that was enough to allow them to bomb the country to smithereens

I can easily say “Back at you.” But I won’t. What I will say is that finances are but one part of the totality of society – not even the most important part. History has shown militarism to be the most important part of any “civilized” social structure. And, yes, wars – be they of conquest or defense – must be financed. But are they really all financed by the bankers? or by taxing the people?

And, yes, at some point the bankers get into the act. But if the generals should happen to decide the bankers are getting a bit too demanding in their tribute, it’s a small matter when you have an army at your disposal to take what the bankers have and send them packing.

Sorry, but the working paradigm of humanity has always been, is still, and will most likely always be “Might Makes Right.” And “Might” resides in the hands of he who wields the weaponry – not he who prints the money.

I’ll pit your 15 banking families against Alexander the Great any day. And we’ll see who wins.

You have to go back to 320BC in anchient history, before the central banking cartel was even a cartel to try to argue the central banking cartel don’t start wars? Yet even Alexander, who was his own banker, funded his wars with loans (lol)

Alexander the great war funding:” The most important source of income, however, were loans. According to Plutarch, Alexander took short-term loans of 1,460 talents.”

Now check out Cromwell, who financed him, and why. But it seems you don’t want to read anything, which makes your opinion on this subject devoid of substance, in fact little more than heckling.

The book I recomended below was by Stephen Mitford Goodson, he was part of the families, an outsider on the inside, he was a Director of the S.African Reserve bank, advocated for a state central bank that issued the means of exchange without interest, he was joint founder of the “Abolition of Income Tax and Usery Party” almost won the election, even in a rigged system. He was in hospital for cancer tests when he said to his familiy “Get me out of here they’re poisoning me!” He died that night, the hospital rushed through cremation of his body against the wishes of his family.

Thanks for postung these links. I was not aware of these books.

Agree with everything you have said in your comments, except the part about boom/bust cycles.

Market cycles theory from the likes of Hurst and Elliott Wave Theory show how markets move in repetitive patterns and can be used to predict future moves with accuracy years in advance. I believe the Central bankers can delay or extend cycles/waves but the overall human sentiment factor and investor psychology which drives markets they cannot control (yet).

It’s no secret that scholars can dig up material and from it construct a book. “Publish or Perish” is the mantra of modern scholarship. You can find pro’s and con’s on just about any subject.

It’s telling, I think, that Covid was what inspired the current round of “They’re all in it together” conclusions. Telling, because a worldwide agreement on something does not indicate ipso facto worldwide collusion.

Same with CBDC. There seems to be worldwide agreement to proceed with it; but, again, that fact doesn’t prove all 195 nations are merely puppets of some central cabal. Nor that 195 “leaders” are willing to renounce their separate bailiwicks simply because a couple dozen folks lurking behind a smokescreen command them to.

As to loans, what are the bankers going to do if a particular nation goes belly up and cannot repay them? Will they send their tellers in to carry everything acquired with the loan out of the nation?

The world may be perilously close to a “When push comes to shove” scenario. If so, will the bankers really have the final say? Or will the armies?

I can’t help believing you’re omitting a crucial factor: the Enforcer. The bankers, the IMF, World Bank – even the global Hedge Funds – require someone to enforce their edicts.

Possibly the Hedge Funds actually have mercenaries on their payroll. Otherwise, all financial entities must have someone on call to apply pressure and even hurting on recalcitrant deadbeat nations.

Face it: that’s where the USA comes in. It is the worldwide Enforcer for the banking cartel. Or is it? Who controls whom? Perhaps – God forbid – the bankers are the puppets of the US rather than vice-versa.

Throughout history, empires have fought and destroyed one another so as to be number one – which suggests there’s something lurking in human nature which drives humans to seek such status.

To me, human nature trumps bankers as the real starter of wars and carriers of evil.

War is a racket. Therefore it makes sense that there has never been a time when there is no war. It is just a money making and ritualistic killing machine for certain people.

I recommend the ordinary people do not worry about it. What can worry achieve? What can the daily fretting over the latest genocides really achieve? By all means think about it, meditate on it, discuss it. But let it affect your wellbeing as you go about your daily lives? That is pointless. That is what they want.

At the end of the day it is just part of the bread and circuses to keep our souls downcast, beat up, defeated.

Shine the light of the most high wherever you go, regardless of what they do.

The most high will bring them into the most severe judgement.

War is dysfunction. People should not be able to make a career out of being dysfunctional failures.

The US Empire Isn’t A Government That Runs Nonstop Wars, It’s A Nonstop War That Runs A Government
“The wars are not designed to serve the interests of the United States, the United States is designed to serve the interests of the wars. The US as a country is just a source of funding, personnel, resources and diplomatic cover for a nonstop campaign to dominate the planet with mass military violence and the threat thereof. 

This campaign is not waged to benefit the American people or their security, but to benefit the loose international alliance of plutocrats and unelected empire managers whose wealth and power are premised on the world order of continuous violence, exploitation and extraction which the campaign of global domination upholds. This campaign of global domination and its manifestations as a whole may be referred to as the US empire, which has very little in common with the US as an individual nation.”

War, what is it good for?

Depopulation… looting… generating internal social cohesion… accelerating social engineering… increasing centralised control of the economy… toppling other rulers who’ve gone off-message… redrawing maps… profits for the MIC… creating mass emigration… creating generational trauma… spreading drug addiction… blood sacrifice….

Turns out to be quite a lot – maybe this is why wars keep happening despite almost nobody saying they want them.

Just stop. Take a breath. Put aside all your conditioning. All the years of Pavlovian fear-training. THINK for a moment.

Why would any rational person think these East-West tensions, which can disappear in a heartbeat when needed, are any more real than covid?

Why do you think Putin and Xi and Biden could all agree to lie about a virus but absolutely totally not about anything else?

Like they would all agree to ramp up fear rhetoric about a non-existent pandemic to push an agenda, but they would totally NEVER agree to ramp up war rhetoric to push an agenda?

The first one provably happened but the second one is too stupid to even think about?

This is the level of denial needed to believe in the story the mainstream and the controlled alt media are telling us.

Every govt barring a few in Africa, getting 100% on board with killing their own people and wiping out small/medium businesses and enriching their oligarchy.

You SAW it with your own eyes and ARE SEEING IT NOW. Yet you’re so brainwashed you don’t know what you’re looking at.

You’re quaking about totally spurious fear of global war and oblivious to the fact your own govt is openly enacting legislation that will make you a slave, literally owning nothing (your property will be forfeit under climate/environment legislation) and getting your ‘needs’ met by UBI handouts.

The changes coming are so huge they need to distract you, soften you up, frighten you, confuse you so you don’t see it coming or welcome it as a better alternative.

The controllers want us to blame capitalism for all the world’s woes.

That way the controllers can sneak in communitarianism – currently being enacted at a local government level under the guise of Agenda 2030 – which is nothing more than rebranded communism. Much easier to get people to willingly give up property rights and accept neo-feudalism than to force them to accept it.

I am willingly to bet ‘revolution’ will be sold to us as a next step to that goal. Just as it was in France and Russia, with a pre-packaged ‘solution’ at the back end of it.

I used to fear a nuclear Armageddon, followed by nuclear winters and a Greatest Reset even for the bonkers billionaires hiding in New Zealand bunkers. This was based on my assessment of existing ‘human’ minded sociopaths controlled by asuras /devils gathered in Washington and in Beijing close to some launch codes.
Now I know that fear only attracts the feared, so counterproductive.
Also I want to believe that two ‘new’ groups will prevent this Pralaya: a few humans evolved to a much higher level of consciousness (first step is surrender your ego and its all its desires!) became earthly relay stations for Positive Change, plus old extra-terrestrials focused on preventing nuclear material destroying the global atmosphere.

These weapons are produced in nice clean factories that pay good wages to people who take their pay and go their way, giving their souls to the killers. 

Good stuff, ED, but it’s more than a matter of people waking up and voicing dissent. At the heart of this horror is also a system of taxation in which those same weapons workers are taxed on their pay, like every one else; to pay for the weapons, their own domination and their own demise. One must be a conscientious objector and refuse to pay war taxes.

I hesitate to join the fray (seeing as Tilly is currently top-voted at 57!). Like many other commenters, I admire Edward Curtin for his consistent, gentle, courageous and eloquent essays. His integrity is palpable and he passes every litmus test I know of (from the sinking of the USS Maine, Lusitania, Pearl Harbour, JFK, USS Liberty, RFK, 9/11 onwards). All of these false flags are still hotly defended by TPTB because they show their complete amorality and will happily murder thousands of their own. It is this willingness to kill their own which shows the truth of their inhumanity. Power corrupts absolutely, whether it be Roman emperors or Roman Popes (the origins of Lord Acton’s axiom). Because TPTB deal in the infinity of lies, it is easy to get lost sometimes (if that is what Tilly is suggesting).
It matters not if nuclear bombs were deployed in 1945 because conventional weapons had already destroyed much of Japan). As we know from the presidency of JFK, his was the only voice opposed to WWIII. War is indeed what they most desire i.e. it is not alarmist to believe in WWIII and in fact, it probably started in 2014 with the Maidan Coup. The Russian Bear and the Chinese Dragon have the potential to utterly destroy “The West” but seemingly have more intelligence (Morality/Humanity?) to observe their enemy deplete every resource they possess. The US fleet of aircraft carriers can be sunk by drones.
So, in defence of both Edward Curtin and all the truth-seekers in the alt media, let us not argue so vehemently between ourselves: let us aim our truth at the liars and unite in cherishing those values that make life worth living – like kindness, compassion, good red wine and laughter. Benedictus, Domino.

I’ve noticed Donald Trump wants a trillion plus per year DOD budget to build up America’s “power”, so, he says, there will be no more war.

I guess they’ll be disappointed on both counts if Trump gets elected again.

War and preparation for war is a way that capitalism deals with overproduction. It serves numerous purposes — it soaks up productive effort making products that are either useless or destroyed, it has the potential for economic subjugation of others (occupation, reparation by the victors) and at a pinch it also reduces surplus population. What’s not to like about it?

We’ve been able to get away with this in the old European countries for so long because of sheer raw power. Other societies might object, might protest or even resist but against raw power they have only the option to submit or be destroyed. Now, though, other societies have figured this out — it can be said “They’re on to us” — and now they’re in a position to directly challenge us. We really only have two choices. One is to mend our ways. The other is to go for global annihilation. The latter isn’t as unthinkable as it seems because the sort of people who get into this situation, who are so self-centered, egotistical and sociopathic to be able to rationalize ant sort of evils (invariably reflecting their own faults as faults in others) that they really would risk a global catastrophe because they’re unable to appreciate consequences, at least any that would apply to them. We’ve been watching an extreme version of this mindset in action in the US recently; regardless of the rights and wrongs of any particular situation the kind of “it doesn’t apply to me” mindset, the sort of behavior associated with immature teenagers, combined with raw power shows how dangerous this mindset can become, especially when its deftly exploited by clever ‘behind the scenes’ types.

Off topic and perhaps pendable?:

What the fuck is going on with Naomi Wolf?:

https://x.com/naomirwolf/status/1797255227898302478

She agrees with this:

Following Christ, Who IS Israel, makes us part of spiritual Israel and ‘inwardly’ a Jew. The apostle Paul speaks to this in Romans, chapter 2. Jesus did not come to create a new religion, rather to be the faithful Son and call the whole world to become part of Israel.

Christ IS Israel? Christ did not mean to start a new religion? He wants the whole world to become part of Israel?

So the New Testament may as well not have happened! There is no Christianity. There is only Judaism – which is here specifically seen as identical to Israel.

The connections with what is happening in Gaza are glaring.

So the question is: Who is Naomi hanging out with now? Who is influencing her?

And it doesn’t take a genius to work it out.

For the first time I think I may prefer the other Naomi!

“Don’t call be Naomi” (somewhere in Ruth).

Naomi is absolutely correct. She’s in opposition to a phenomena known as “Replacement Theology”; the view that the NT church has completely replaced the function of Israel.

Rather she’s advocated the fact that the Church is grafted INTO Israel rather than replacing it (Romans 11 I think)

*Nuclear weapons DO NOT WORK which is why they have never been used* and have not been documented to have been used since occupied Japan, because the hoax would have been revealed.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki were carpet bombed with napalm, mustard gas and good old high explosives. The “radiation poisoning” seen after the attacks was the result of mustard gas, one of the most vile inventions of “science”.

also here’s a link to the infamous text that people are citing as “proof” (it’s in dr nakatani’s book). his writing is extremely self referential and defensive in nature. the arguments are lame. read it yourself (try page 48 for example, in the link below, when nakatani rambles on about the wright brothers and charles darwin – he’s a genius i tell you !!!).

DEATH OBJECT, by Akio Nakatani
https://archive.org/details/8d-0de-2/page/n43/mode/2up

then there’s this gem from page 78 of death object,

“By analogy, because information relating to the design of nuclear weapons is automatically born classified, i cannot hand you the ‘core’ – the shocking model code which reveals the falsity of explosive fission. But i can at least detonate all the surrounding stuff – that is, i can present reams of circumstantial evidence against the FEAR hypothesis.”

– – – –

the ABM treaty actually was created by a group of bankers who realized they could control the USSR (everybody knows the rothschild’s controlled the USSR) and the USA by presenting a front of 2 superpowers armed w/ nuclear weapons (that’s scary isn’t it – reality). the ABM treaty perpetuated the illusion that the bombs were real !!!! i’m telling you all of the photos and film of above ground nuclear tests were fabricated, don’t you see it man !!!

The International Committee of the Democratic Socialists of America has released a statement opposing the US government’s ongoing proxy war in Ukraine, saying the billions being funneled into the military-industrial complex “at a time when ordinary Americans are struggling to pay for housing, groceries, and fuel” is “a slap in the face for working people.” The statement advocates a negotiated settlement for peace, saying continuing to pour weapons into the country will “needlessly prolong the war, resulting in more civilian deaths” and that it “risks escalating and widening the war — up to and including nuclear war.”

One can make an argument, as writers at O-G have done, that talk of nuclear war is a tactic to distract from a larger Global takeover. While I don’t agree, I respect and appreciate those writers and their perspective. But they argue the issues and don’t call arguments bullshit or besmirch others without evidence. The commentator Tilly has done the latter. Even if, for argument’s sake, I granted Tilly’s point about those she mentions, there remains Michel Chossudovsky, Patrick Lawrence, Oliver Stone, Andrew Napolitano, Chris Hedges, Alastair Crooke, Diana Johnstone, Peter Koenig, Finian Cunningham, Lew Rockwell, and those unnamed. I suppose all these people who have been warning re nuclear war are all shills as well. The issue is simple. Tilly thinks their warnings are all “fear porn” and disagrees with my saying they are not. Calling the article “bullshit” is not an argument. It’s in place of one.

Mr. Curtin, first and foremost these wars are about enslaving and silencing US taxpayers. We’ll never be free unless someone stops the US mob. “The Deep State…considers global conflict as the price to pay for maintaining its largesse from the US taxpayer.

Continuous warfare is its only business product.”…(parag. 4)…11/7/2019, “Deep State on the National Security Council: Colonel Vindman Is an ‘Expert’ With an Agenda,” Strategic Culture, Philip Giraldi…..One political candidate could run on “Making US Neutral Again” as was attempted in 1930s.

These alt-media talking heads named in your article do not necessarily all have to be shills, in the sense of being controlled or approved opposition. Some are simply ‘useful’ to the controllers in selling a narrative.

Whether wittingly or unwittingly, elements of the alt-media have come to detest the West and its imperialistic nature. These commentators are so blinkered that they see the BRICS/multipolar world as the saviours. The Western puppets continue to add fuel to the fire and in doing so make the BRICS puppets look like heroes.

The controlled demolition of the largely economically and morally bankrupt West is increasing support among the global population for the new alternative. The NWO is unfolding before our eyes, as the multipolar world Kissinger laid the foundations for in 1970’s, now rises in prominence. The controllers have set this up perfectly and too many of the so-called awake are falling for it.

To repeat, as commenters including myself have said at OffG, the lockstep actions during Covid-1984 was the acid test to top all others. All the cards were laid on the table by the major players as they took their cues from the controllers and their minions, which demonstrated their commitment to deceive, scare, oppress and inject their own populations for a fake virus with an unknown substance which has caused harm and we are yet to discover its long term effects.

To pretend geopolitics exists as we have been led to believe and it is pre-2019 again is choosing to not see the obvious. The talking heads who push the fake binaries NEVER ever discuss the actions of China, Russia and the other BRICS+ nations during the Plandemic but simply focus on the actions of the Western regimes.

If geopolitics ever existed, it certainly ended in March 2020.

Covid-1984 could have been, either a failed attempt at bringing in vaccine passports (digital ID’s) due to too many people refusing the jabs or it was only the first step, hence the noise around a new scamdemic in the making.

The main question is, are the injections designed for depopulation, through the slow motion effects of illnesses including cancer and sterilization or were they to insert nanotechnology as part of the transhumanist agenda? It is clear that the rapid culling of the population was not the aim, since although there have been deaths and injuries and increased excess mortality, it is not such that people are dropping like flies – at least so far.

So your point regarding new technologies would fit nicely with transhumanism. It could also be such that if this was the case, then the deaths and injuries are a side effect of injecting naontechnologies and not the result of a depopulation exercise.

Until we get clarity on what the ingredients were – despite speculation and apparent tests of the ingredients – we may never know, since there are so many hypotheses. It is possible that people have been injected with different ingredients but if so, other than a global experiment, what was the point of the exercise?

It’s likely all 3. They never run an op without multiple objectives.

1) making the slaves a modified, damaged, chipped, sub-race, which is what the transhumanist agenda actually appears to be. Not to extend life or enhance humanity but to permanently damage, chip and weaken the slaves.

2) It’s a track and trace mechanism for the IoB, and it kills off the injected 20/30 years prematurely with strokes, myocarditis, CVD, cancer, and creates infertility. Life shortening injections so no payouts or pensions for the elderly.

3) The vaccine passport trial balloon failed. But ultimately will be achieved with the CBDCs and SMART IDs after the next scamdemic or cyber pandemic.

What a top chap Mr Putin is. He considerately decided to launch the special military operation in Ukraine just as the Plandemic narrative was falling apart like a cheap suit. How convenient for a narrative switch-a-roo.

Instead of winding this operation up in days or weeks, he decided to send in redundant ex-Soviet military hardware and fight WWI style trench warfare for the past 2 plus years. I thought the Russians had an airforce and hypersonic missiles?

Vlad also thought it a good idea to allow Vlod and Western leaders to go on photoshoots and walkabouts in central Kiev along with Hollywood zlebs. No flak jackets required nor any fear of being wiped out by a Russian hypersonic, because that is perfectly normal during a ‘war’. Is Russian intelligence absolute shit? Of course it is not. They knew and they sat back, under orders to allow it.

But what would the arguments be for West to make suicide? They cant beat Russia, even further they can beat Russia + China, even further it becomes even more difficult to beat Russia + China + Iran the latest of we have seen also have some hypersonic missiles hitting Israel.

What do the purported nuclear bombings of two mid-sized Japanese cities in August of 1945 have in common with the faked Apollo moon landings? Science polymath, Dr. Michael Palmer MD, Ph.D, while not dealing directly with this comparison, gives us knowledge to answer this question. He wrote a 400 page book titled Hiroshima Revisited which builds a case beyond any reasonable doubt that the “nuclear” bombings of these two cities were faked and that their destruction was due to overwhelming aerial bombardment with large conventional bombs, huge quantities of napalm, and mustard gas, the latter being an internationally illegal substance used because it gives a similar clinical appearance to radiation poisoning. Palmer’s book is available expensively as a paperback from Amazon, or a free, downloadable .pdf.

While all but the last two chapters were devoted to the presentation of hard physical evidence, the last two chapters were speculation as to how the US pulled this ruse off politically, and finally, what was the primary motivation behind it. As to the former, he documents that the Japanese government had been pleading for a surrender agreement for almost a year before the bombings, which were consistently rebuffed by Truman. The final unconditional surrender was in substance identical to what the Japanese had been suggesting all along. The penultimate chapter deals with how the hoax was pulled off politically, and that the Japanese government was forced to go along with it and support it so as to preclude any more devastating bombardments. 

But it is the final chapter which raises the question, why were the bombings faked as the result of a novel, terrorizing super weapon? The bullshit rationale offered officially was that it was to preclude the “necessity” of an invasion of Japan which would result in the deaths of tens of thousands of US soldiers. Why it was total BS is the fact, as mentioned, that the Japanese were willing to negotiate a surrender on terms very similar to the post bombing terms for almost a year. Their only condition was that the emperor would be retained as the spiritual leader of the country.

A second theory, proposed and still active among current thought, is that it was to intimidate Stalin, though they occurred a few days after the conclusion pf the Potsdam conference between Truman, Churchill, and Stalin when the fate of Europe was decided. After the purported nuking, Stalin did not appear to be intimidated in the least. Did he know they were mislabeled conventional weapons? There is every possibility that this is true. At that time the Soviet Union had an embassy in Tokyo, and the Japanese had reached out to them (to no avail) to try to persuade them to intervene with the Americans to intercede in permitting a surrender. Since the top levels of the Japanese government had been compelled to agree, beforehand, to go along with the nuclear fiction, there is every possibility that Stalin had been tipped off by a Japanese leak to their spooks at their embassy. 

His actual reason for the hoax is put forth by Palmer in the final chapter. The hoax was to pressure the planet into a one world government, purportedly through the newly structured UN, and to a large extent controlled by the US. When the nature of this super weapon was “disclosed” to the global population, there would be a huge up-swelling of panic to establish this global government to prevent a nuclear annihilation. We can see, that this agenda failed at the time, but some 80 years later it is still on the front burner of our globalist technocrats.

A thoughtful person may then ask, why didn’t the US use real nuclear bombs? Why go through this Potemkin Village charade? There are two sources of fissionable material for nuclear weapons, plutonium (Pu) and weapons grade uranium, The former does not exist in nature but can only be extracted and purified from the by-products of a nuclear reactor. The later is composed of a material comprised of at least 80% of the U235 isotope. Uranium, of course, exists in the natural world as the final natural element (92) in the periodic table. However, it exists as several isotopes, the two most common being U235, which is 0.7% of the total, and U238, which is 99.3%. The general Manhattan Project was originally tasked with extracting enough Pu from the few atomic reactors that then existed in the US at the time, and purifying Uranium 235 from less than 1% to over 80%. This was done at the time by reacting the U with fluorine gas to turn it into UF6, and then to pass that gas through a long series of baffle plates, sort of a maize. Since U235 is almost 1% lighter than U238, each pass would result in a slightly higher concentration of U235. To get to 80%, this requires many, many passes. (Today a different method is used, centrifugation, which is much, much more efficient).

The Trinity test bomb and the Nagasaki bomb were purportedly Pu and the Hiroshima bomb U235. Palmer’s book has a photo of Oppenheimer and General Groves inspecting the remains of the supporting tower of the Trinity explosion the day after the explosion. In the photo, the steel of the tower was quite twisted but very much there. If the nuclear bomb had been real, the steel would have been vaporized, or at the least simply formed a solidified puddle on the ground. Also, it would have been unlikely that either Groves or Oppenheimer could have survived the exposure, dying rapidly from radiation poisoning, particularly as Pu is incredibly toxic as well.

As an aside, Palmer points out that Oppenheimer was the one who originated the name “Trinity” for the test. He speculates that it probably was the result of a twisted in-joke, as the bomb was really composed of TNT (trinitrotoluene) to which Oppenheimer threw in three vowels.

Many have suggested that nuclear weapons to this very day are a hoax and that they cannot actually be manufactured and function based solely on atomic physics, and some support for this idea came from the now somewhat common knowledge that the first three explosions were hoaxes. While this is always possible, Palmer documents in his book that the reason for the hoax was the unavailability of the fissionable material in sufficient quantities as other events of the war forced a deadline. Nuclear bombs need a certain critical mass in order to sustain an instantaneous chain reaction, so two times the critical mass of PU and a critical mass of 80% U were needed. Truman certainly would not have hesitated for a moment to use nuclear weapons on moral grounds, and it is possible, maybe probable, that the firebombing of the cities resulted in more innocent, civilian deaths than actual nuclear bombs.

And finally we get to the starting question I posed as to what does the fake nuclear bombings of these two Japanese cities have in common with the fake Apollo moon landings. As to the later, I refer the reader to the superlative 3 hour video documentary, American Moon (English Version), created by Italian film maker and photographer, Massimo Mazzucco, which is available as a free MP4 download. To keep it short, after JFK proclaimed that the US would succeed in a manned moon landing before the end of the decade, the following two presidents put more and more US prestige on the line, particularly as the USSR had launched the first satellite, Sputnik. When Nixon was finally told that it couldn’t be done, especially before the end of the decade, then he went about faking it.

As I mentioned in my post above, Palmer speculated and held the opinion that the primary reason for faking the nuclear weapons regarding the first three explosions was to terrify the global population into permitting a global government to prevent a future nuclear war. I agree with him on this. But as I wrote, the US went with creating this complicated hoax because they could not produce either of the fissionable materials in a timely fashion for any of the bombs. My academic background in chemistry, in which I had a particular interest in nuclear chemistry, has led me to believe that nuclear weapons do exist today and have done so for no less than a year or two after the end of WWII. I do not see any scientific reason that they cannot be produced. That said, I also still believe that they are still being used to terrify the global population into acceding into global government with the false argument that this would preclude a nuclear WWIII.

I guess the term ‘the world’ should be defined more carefully, Mr Curtin.

‘If’ nuclear war occurs, it seems highly unlikely to me that there will be nuking of South America, of Southern Africa. I tend to doubt that Indonesia will be nuked and I tend to doubt that Nepal will be nuked.

So that tells us that plenty of humans will survive an initial nuclear holocaust, the real question will be whether the nutcases actually do sufficient damage to the earth’s atmosphere that growing crops becomes a problem even in the tropics and subtropics?

The peoples of North America, Europe and parts of Eurasia (Russia and China) may be the big power players right now, but they aren’t the majority of the world’s population.

And even if they were, if one billion people survived both the holocaust and the ‘nuclear winter’, that would still be a species considerably greater in number than probably existed two thousand years ago.

You may have noted all the globalist billionaires buying ‘bolt holes’ in New Zealand.

I do wonder whether Mr Putin might be nasty enough to malignantly target those places, just so that the billionaires don’t survive?

If you want to stop forever wars, you have to stop not only those that inflame them, but also those that made billions playing the game.

Mr Putin singled out ‘small, densely populated’ nations –
Us’ vassal states…In so doing, he signaled his nuclear
warning strategy to the USA – he’ll knock out one or two
of these as a warning to the USA that he means business…
And if that doesnt deter the USA, there’s Mr Putin’s
nuclear armed submarines waiting off the USA coasts…
(Hawaii sits alone as a nice target- and Ms Oprah, a noted

The asteroid which killed the dinosaurs cleared a terrain for insignificant shrew-like creatures, that did not eat much, to emerge and become us. I do not believe that a modern nuclear holocaust would be as destructive as that asteroid.

But even if the PTB nuked everything on Earth’s surface, dolfins would continue intelligent life underwater. One scientist even proposed that Homo Sap survived a catastrope by standing up to his-and-her necks in the sea: which is why we mate face to face — like dolfins.

 The signs today all point to sooner, for we are on the edge of the abyss.

A sign is a symptom of a disease—or dis-ease—one that zen buddhism diagnosed millennia ago…. The transformation of sense-perception (vijnana-parinamo) is linguistic. Hence, all knowing (-jnana) is dualistic–as split (vi-)–and evolves, revolves, and returns (parinamo) as the selfsame as continually elevated above the rest…. And we called the essential superiority “ego-self-soul-mind-psyche-consciousness” taken as permanent identity (atman).

Correct diagnosis makes for easy solutions—anatman. Non-ego, non-self, non-soul…. No split-mind, no split-consciousness, no self, no other…. Peace, harmony, compassion, generosity, giving spontaneity…. True knowledge-building as contributory wisdom…. Outside the reification and separation by discriminatory split-consciousness there is no self-caused egoification as enmification:

Atma-dharma-upacaro hi vividho yah pravartate/ ​Vijnana-pariname (…)

—“the metaphors (upacara) of self and earth (as other), functioning in manifold ways (vividho), take place in the transformation of consciousness (from unified to split-consciousness….)

That is, all in the head. The superimposition of split-consciousness on the earth is the only source of earth-alienation, world-alienation, enmification and war. It is a simple enough diagnostic solution as potentially curative, one echoed by modern non-buddhist thinkers such as Korzybski. Only the inherent tensions of trying to elucidate the fact that all self/other grammatical constructions are at least minimally pre-violent has meant that a “non-Aristotelian” and “non-identitarian” conceptual metaphoric framework is now probably further than away than when Korzybski, writing a century ago, and Vasubhandu writing a millennia ago, anticipated.

Non-violent understanding as speech may yet prove impossible. We seem to be addicted to the identification, enmification, separation, discrimination innate in the logos of the language as grammatical, fanatical, and eventually climactic …. All because the copulae—‘being’ functioning in many ways as absolute—said so …. over and over as the voice in the head.

Even the article above is written from an implicitly and explicitly “us/them” metaphoricity and aesthetics of division. Any “joined-up” thinking will tend toward whole earth metabolic processes and nondualised holism which is anathema to ‘us’ as “disingenuous”. So is dualistic enmity, division, separability “ingenuous” as “honourably straightforward”?

If the algorithms of aggression cannot be linked to the grammatical logos, then the transgression of national boundaries can surely be linked to economic lifestyle status assumed by arrogation of their property as rightfully our property? You don’t think the First World was built on liberalised free-trade alone?

In order to end war, enmity, expansion, expropriation, extraction and so on we have to live within natural limitation of the earth and produce what we need to consume for ourselves. It ain’t rocket science. The origin of barbarism (barboros) means self-identification—ingenuous (ingenuu) as native with all the virtues of freeborn people—and expropriation from those who are deemed foreign…. Which is also written into to the barbarism of grammar. The genesis of war is therefore in our mother-tongue metaphors taken as really separating ‘us’ from ‘them’ by speech; which is only symbolic reification and self-invested identification in enmified nothingness.

Very interesting exposition of the Buddhist position. But as a non-Buddhist with some tenderfoot biological qualifications, I believe War preceded articulate speech and conceptual “reification” by at least a hundred million years. Ants were the first social beings, and they make war.

“From war, famine and disease, from the wasteful blundering and unspeakable cruelty of Nature, arose beings most wonderful while this old Earth was spinning around its axes.

“All things arise from Strife” — Heraclitus, pre-Socratic philosopher (late 6th/early 5th-century BC).

If there was a buddha–which is now doubtful–he was thinking 2.5 millennia ago about a problem that was already ancient. If ants waging war is not “ant-ropomorphism! (!) then they do engage in conflict… but not world wars; and they do not organise all colonies in a eusocial metropolis as world economy. Only the anthropos does that.

Yogacara is known as the “Third Turning” because the teaching of the apocryphal buddha had become degenerate. Asanga and his brother Vasubandhu are largely accredited with revitalising the dharma. Very broadly, they see the world split into a subjective grasper of experience (grahakatva) and the objective grasped of experience (grahyatva) as the source of suffering, there by obviating all dualism.

Enmification is identification with self and demonisation of other as not-self or even negated non-self (barbarous, subhuman). Dualistic division is not merely split, but value-creating (axiomatic sublimation of self and desublimation of non-self) which is the divisive aesthetic, ethic, political and political valorisation and vitiation value-system we live by. What sort of moral identity do we gain by demonising our enemies one might ask? The answer might be Carl Schmitt’s “Political Theology” ….?

(If you were interested: there is Anancker, Kochumutton and Lusthaus for Yogacara; and Korzybski is still one of the best modern references for how and why language kills. Others include Deleuze and Guattari–especially in the plateau “Four Postulates of Linguistics”–and Humberto Maturana who wrote about language–or “languaging”–from a biological perspective.)

I have been an anti-war activist for a long time. The current ‘world war 3’ rhetoric has arisin because the West has become unable to pursue the regime change operations in the ‘third world’ like before. Covid and then Ukraine brings ‘war’ now much closer to populations that previously watched our exported carnage on TV. Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Iraq and all the rest have already experinced WW3….

There isn’t a public government on earth. They’re all privately owned and centrally controlled. Meaning all wars are orchestrated, coordinated. And your votes don’t matter and never did. The votes and voters enable the enslavement of humanity to go unchallenged. Policies are made at the supranational level. Decades in advance.

Where’s your shares of US of America Inc? Where’s your stock of whatever state you were born in? Nowhere.

But those corporations, states and federal “governments” own you and your whole family through the Cestui Que Vie trusts.

They also own allodial title to the house you falsely believe you’ve paid off. You’re just a dead slave, lost at sea, with no rights whatsoever and no real property or assets. It can all be seized, bank accounts, 401k, Social Security and it will be, if the central planners get their way.

Nuclear war will “never ever happen” until it does actually happen.

Likely as an overreaction or misreaction. Overreaction and misreaction being the main characteristics of modern wars. And not just those involving the US.

Ideally (other than there being no wars at all), a country’s military response should mirror the Justice system. The ‘punishment’ to the offending country matching the magnitude of the initial crime. Unfortunately, that’s rarely the case. As we’ve seen that with 9/11, Russia-Ukraine, Israel-Gaza, with the Covid response and other innumerable conflicts.

3000 or so people perishing in two NY towers clearly merited a response of some sort to the perpetrators, Invasions of Iraq & Afghanistan being completely inappropriate.

Missiles continuously launched on the Donbas regions from Ukraine likewise demanded a response. Provoking Russia vs NATO in Ukraine OTT (on both sides).

A virus circulating in the world that was (at worst) on a par with flu may have legitimately demanded some kind of low level response. Locking the whole world down with enforced maskings & vaccinations … completely OTT.

And possibly even with Israel-Gaza. Whilst the devilish attack of the spirit of ‘hamas’ (= violence, wrong-doing), its inhuman actions against women on Oct.7, , Hamas’s prior building of the Gaza as a direct model of hell (eg 7 layers of tunnels, ‘Hamas’ deriving from ‘Ham’ = ‘heat’; verb form ‘hamas’ also meaning ‘to become warm’, ‘hamas’=88 in Gematria (heth (8)+Mem (30)+Samek (50)), like ‘Gehenna’ (in Hebrew transliteration (gimel (3)+he (5)+nun (40)+nun (40)))…) … and with a Mr. Sinwar in charge of operations (what’s in a name?), a response from the righteous was clearly required…

… BUT the complete razing of Gaza to the ground in response can also legitimately be questioned, as to whether it was OTT or not.

Poke the modern bear and it’s liable to tear you to shreds rather than poke you back in response. Therein lieth the danger to all humanity

As for your comment above, I glanced at it and didn’t think it notable apart from two things: the Thunderbirds notion of Gaza as Hamas’s Tracy Island which is always worth a giggle but hardly original. The other thing was the mystical number juggling stuff. I figured Edwige might want to tackle that.

Many of the points of this article is correct. Nevertheless, certain aspects have not been touched on.

Well, Professors Sutton, Quigley, Preparata and many authors such Eustace Mullins and Edward G Griffin had very doubt where the control lies. The Central Bankers and the families are, in this realm, the control behind them. Until the general public grasp this, the world will continue on a spiral path of destruction.

Mr Curtin seems to me to be one of the latter. And I think a tell-tale sign is when they start to get misty eyed over old hippy heroes.

I don’t think there’s enough genuine difference any more between East and West for real nuclear war to be a real danger any more. They are all working for the same endgame now – which is total control of the human population from cradle to grave.

Btw – MAD has been dismantled years ago, and they have previously admitted it, but now they are trying to gaslight you and make you think it’s 1962 again. Daft. Hundreds of warheads aimed at each other on a hair trigger just isn’t a thing any more. The age of nuke brinkmanship is long over. It’s outmoded. The nuclear arsenals have been depleted. Globalism has taken over and now nuclear war has been reduced to just another meaningless fear-narrative to be deployed.

Ok, I wasn’t gonna name names, but since you ask.

Caitlin Johnstone. she gets minimum $5,000 per month from her Patreon alone.

She was deliberately set up as a controlled fake “alt” back in around 2015, with her carefully managed “tell it like it is” persona that never strays too far into challenging the status quo.

Any doubts about her being a phony were put to rest when she started shilling for the covid narrative. The best she can be is an abject moral coward – and that is just the least likely scenario. She has all the hallmarks of managed and controlled “mainstream alt”.

Ray McGovern and Scott Ritter are both “ex” establishment who now sell carefully curated and strictly limited “opposition” narratives.

Pepe Escobar sells the completely discredited and factually nul idea that Russia/China are some type of ideological opposition to the New Normal. This is another curated fake “alt” position and anyone who occupies it is either paid to do so (knowingly or not)or is a dupe.

Vanessa Beeley and Eva Bartlett sell the same schtick.

Why don’t you take off your blinders and just look for yourself? Do you read Iain Davis? He’s one of the few reasons I come here.

They are like the Emperor with no clothes except they have no hard factual evidence!

It seems your essential opposition to my “bullshit” article is that I listed names of people who have been warning about a potential nuclear war that you consider “fear porn.” Nothing more. I have criticized some of these writers in my writing on other matters and I am well versed on their writing and that of Iain Davis as well. My article is “bullshit” because you don’t agree that there is a real danger of nuclear war. And I am glad you use your real name. It’s what real people do.

“Nothing more”? Tilly goes into detail about some of those names.

I only pointed out that Mr Curtin’s claim that Tilly was responding purely because she rejects the danger of nuclear war is not accurate. And that’s a hard factual matter.

I suggest you revise actually what she actually wrote eg “ ..Ray McGovern and Scott Ritter..carefully curated and strictly limited..narratives . “

Moreover, she is slandering people, who have been in the field, without providing any concrete factual evidence to support her assertions.

This is how the MSM operates!

The “carefully curated” and “strictly limited” narratives would require more detail. Since I haven’t read them, she would have to give examples. But I’ve seen the phenomenon many times before e.g. Assange.

Meanwhile you accept that people who “have been in the field” (I.e. who have worked for the very forces we should not trust) are to be taken at face value. That’s what the MSM does.

If they claim to be truthtellers but don’t talk about 9/11 being an inside job or covid being a fake pandemic, if they talk about LIHOP then they’re curating and very obviously strictly limited.

You will note the title of Edward Curtin’s article “ If The wars Go On”. He discusses the very real, very dangerous, very poignant point of a nuclear war.

Furthermore, he cites a litany of people who have first hand experience relating to being in wars and reporting wars. Eg Eva Bartlett reporting from the frontline, note the word frontline, not from the safe secure computer screen, Vanessa Beeley is another example.

Now, they are reporting the wars which seldom if ever reach the Western MSM audience.

Moreover, they are castigated, ostracised and verbally for reporting the events as they physically, in person witness them by the Western Propaganda agencies.It seems you are following in the same footsteps as them!

Unfortunately, one of the reasons that some people refuse to acknowledge there is a very real danger of a nuclear war is the belief that the US/ NATO and the RF are 2 sides of the same coin, namely, the Globalists/ Central Bankers coin.

However, a number of well researched, articles and books, plus the West’s actions refute this notion.

For example, F.W Endgahl wrote an article entitled “ The Real Crime of M. Khordorkovsky” . He stated that “ His real crime is that he a key part of a Western intelligence operation to dismantle and destroy what remains of Russia as functioning state. “

Alex Krainer wrote a very detailed , very well researched account stating why this was taking place and ultimately who controlled the operation.

From the moment the Globalists/ Central Bankers grasped they couldn’t coerce Russia to self destruct, they have put in place a strategy to destroy externally.

Alas, the critics of you article don’t comprehend this.

One of the reasons that some people refuse to acknowledge there is a “very real danger of a nuclear war” is that we have been getting endless scares for the entire duration of our lives about invasions, terrorist attacks, climate catastrophe, the “enemy within”, bugs, diseases etc.

We have also been directed to gish gallop upon gish gallop – interminable charts, graphs, formulae etc, with lots of big words from pontificating supercilious creeps who are so far up their smug self assumed superior shitholes that their heads are now developing piles.

So a sense of cynicism is not only logical but anyone who doesn’t have that sense is either brain dead or a troll.

I don’t know how old you are George, but if you had lived through the Cuban missile crisis, you would realise that burying one’s head in the sand doesn’t make the problem disappear !

Ah yes the Cuban missile crisis again. It’s interesting how we’ve been through so many scares (covid, climate, rehashed old pandemics, reheated war on terror, etc.) And just as they are running out of steam we now get the old chestnut of nuclear war. If the new hits fail, try the old hits.

Are you saying the world was not on the verge of a nuclear war during the Cuban Missile crisis ?

Two points.

•Patreon payments are made (we’re told) by Johnston’s followers. If you seriously believe she would take money from the big end of town, then you’re overdosing on cynicism.

• Johnston did not shill for the Covid narrative. She just chose to go along with it by ignoring it, like many other gutless ‘alternative’ journalists.
Like you, they no doubt have mouths to feed and bills to pay.

The plague IS self interest.
It’s been around since humans walked upright.
