Growing up as a child in the United States and being flooded by war propaganda my whole life. I remember I used to think that “I wish I get to see World War Three, in my lifetime.” I really wished I could partake in the war and do my part to defend my country. And I blame all that on the indoctrination and brainwashing that is growing up in the empire. From the G.I. dolls and cartoons to every Hollywood film, that would show the white male returning from World War 2 a hero. I thought to myself, “That is what men do.”

I now find myself in a situation, where I may one day have that ill-thought desire come true, and I really wish it never comes true. I have studied the crimes of many countries, especially my own, and I now realize that war is evil, and that like the great essay written by General Smedley Darlington Butler, states”War is a Racket.”

“I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.”

― Smedley D. Butler, War is a Racket

I really wish we lived in a world where human beings interacted with others peacefully. I wish we lived in a world where no person had to flee their country due to war or famine. I wanted to write this post today because I was deeply upset yesterday while watching news clips. Besides the war coverage what also disturbed me was having to listen to clips of reporters dehumanizing BIPOC people.

These reporters had somehow given the recent Ukrainian refugees a face and identity that they have lacked to give refugees from many other countries. They even went out of their way to vilify BIPOC refugees, not emphasizing why those BIPOC refugees were seeking asylum in the first place. What civilized/western countries or western backed countries were bombing their homes?

These reporters were downplaying and dehumanizing BIPOC refugees, and exclusively siding and pleading the case for Ukrainians fleeing their countries today, stating “These are not your typical refugees.” Why would they compare the merit of any desperate people? The reporter continued with“because they were Christian, and they were white.” Another reporter mentioned the victims’ “blue eyes and blond hair”  while another spoke of them as “European and civilized.”

I found this all truly disgusting. What this all told me is that the corporate-owned media and the board of directors of those companies are just as racist as always. And since I have come to understand that fascism is a revolution from the top-down, I am reassured that these multi-national corporations still cling to their eugenic agenda as tightly as ever. If you have the time just go back and study what robber barons funded the eugenic ideas taught in schools that have helped turn the world into a pigmentocracy. Study the worldwide Eugenic Conventions and the infamous pseudo scientific ideas of eugenicists like Francis Galton, Charles Davenport, Madison Grant, Harry Laughlin, Eugon Fischer, Alfred Ploetz, Ernst Rudin, I recommend starting with the book “War Against the Weak” by Edwin Black, and “Imbeciles” by Adam Cohen.

Why Now?

I also had to stop and ask myself the questions, why am I seeing all this support for this one country, and I did not see the same when western countries were attacking and killing millions of Muslims the last thirty years? Why did I not see Iraqi flags and the colors of the Iraqi flag everywhere I went? Why didn’t major sporting organizations boycott teams from aggressor countries back then? I thought about it long and hard and I think I understand what their ultimate goals are.

“Why, of course, the people don’t want war, why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come backto his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don’t want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.” – Herman Goering
