Anti-War = Russian Asset?

I remember protesting the Vietnam War as young kid with my girlfriend, in my hometown of Denver, Colorado. Over our kitchen table, my father would hold court, and my friends from high school and adult neighbours, would debate the Nixon administration and the war in South east Asia. The pro-war side of the debate consisted of the evils of the spread of communism, and protecting democracy for the world. Even then, I didn't believe this, because the war was so far away. Later the Pentagon Papers was released, revealing like the Afghanistan Papers 40 years later, that we knew we could never win this war, and generally the military didn't have a clue as to what they were doing there in the first place.

After 9/11, the US government raged war across the middle east to battle against “terrorism”. We bought these lies hook line and sinker, because we later discover, that this was the 'cover story' for the corporate class, that these military excursions were in fact, resource acquiring exercises, mainly oil, and an effort to gain dominance in the area. Have we learned anything from these lies from our governments? Even after the publication of the Afghanistan Papers this year, there wasn't a peep from the MSM, and only a few left wing sites, had the courage to write about these revelations, and now months later, the papers are all but forgotten.

When Obama took office, we were involved in two wars, when he left office, we are in seven wars, across the globe. That said, we have become so efficient at war, that allied deaths are at a irreducible minimum, while foreign deaths, most of which are children, are numbered in the millions. This is simply international criminality, and wars of aggression, that defies international law. These wars also defy the US Constitution, but there is never a single protest from the people. Why?

As a people, we have been systematically desensitised from the horrors of America's military exploits over seas. If we are not out-right lied to, as is the case many times, but propagandised into believing that the countries we are invading are horrible countries run by ruthless dictators. To name a few, Qaddafi of Libya, Hussein of Iraq, and Assad of Syria. If you take the time to study these countries and their respective leader, will often discover, that these leaders may have had their terrible times of leadership, but are basically, like Qaddafi for example, did more good for his people than not. What the US does is spread propaganda about a foreign government, aided by the MSM, to justify invasion of that said country. When those who understand the situation, avoiding the propaganda, are labelled traitors, unpatriotic or Russia assets.

The most egregious campaign to justify war, and attempt to destroy a US president, was Russia-gate. As it turns out, it was all a lie, and the vast majority of people fell for it, because I guess, their hatred of Donald Trump. Indeed, in my anti-war stance, have been called “Putin's puppet” or a Russian asset. Even on the face of it, the entire Russia propaganda campaign was absurd. I mention this to illustrate that propaganda works, and the masses will fall for it in the name of patriotism, white exceptionalism or basically pro-war.

When the pro-war Hillary Clinton, essentially called vet and presidential candidate, Tulsi Gabbard, a groomed Russian asset, I knew American politics had moved into the area of the absurd. Unfortunately but true, millions of people support Clinton, despite her record, would believe this ridiculous accusation. This proved to me how propagandised people truly are, when it comes to criminal political icons, and the lies to justify war.

As an American general, Smedley Butler once said, 'war is a racket', revealing big business has been pushing war for profit since the beginning of the 20^th century, we should listen.

The propaganda supporting war appears to be losing its teeth these days.

Let's hope so, for the planet.
