'The psychopaths run the world and must wage endless wars on our children. Don’t be party to it.'

Exactly, Pauline. The average citizens must absolutely refuse to be used as pawns in the twisted geopolitical agendas of these leaders.

All citizens, from all sides, must put an end to this destructive cycle of so much unnecessary death and destruction that's happened countless times throughout our human history by refusing to fight for their power- as well as war-hungry leaders.

If those leaders are so bent on pursuing their harmful, toxic agendas, then they should be the ones to take action and fight.

Just wondering: How does one not go to work if one must work to make money to live? Do we all become squatters with urban or rural guerilla gardens on unused land? Not going to work seems to be a luxury solely for the rich. The rest of us are born enslaved to The Matrix.

Michael Hudson just made a video about what you are expressing in your piece. It is a first hand account of someone who was there when these plans were made. How to make a change in the machine ask Guy , Edward Snowden , Julian Assange . I am with you , this has to stop . Maybe spreading this around will wake up some people . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNu_OGbqyWk

I had an important message come to me after 9/11 too: Choose love over fear. Thanks for posting, Pauline. We have to stop supporting the war mongers and their endless wars.

Diana... I think the spirit of your comments is mot desirable. "Choose love over fear" however doesn't fit.. Fear is a perfectly normal and desirable trait just to stay alive. Fear is a principle factor of survival for many living things. Maybe I'm misunderstand your point... ??

Good question John. Healthy fear is very different from sociopathic fear that is driven by xenophobia, racism, and bigotry. You know that kind of fear, the kind that caused a cop to shoot an unarmed, black man in the back a dozen times.

I think Diana’s warning was meant to avoid that kind of sociopathic fear.

Look at this news just coming out of Long Island. More of the military industrial complex’s dirty history coming to light. How many millions of lives have they destroyed beyond those they bombed into oblivion?

For money.

First Nation Americans call it our Wetiko. The idea that cannibalism of each other and every living system on the planet is a way to life. They watched the whites invade and literally destroy and consume everything. The buffalo returned to the earth, along with all the trees cleared for pasture, and the First Nations people and culture.

Wetiko is our own personnel madness and collective madness that has evolved ended up as corporate madness than spans the globe as continuous rape, pillage and destruction. There is no end to greed, to consumption, to money, to power, there is always more and bigger. Hence war on war on war. As you said so much money to be made.

Now our Wetiko is so powerful, so relentless so mad that we are the weather makers as we spew endlessly increasing amounts of pollution into our home and we have changed the climate forever in term of human life times.

DU deleted uranium should be called radioactive waste weapons that is highly radioactive. I researched DU years ago and discovered the psychotic first use of DU in Serbia and then in Iraq. I saw a talk by Doug Rockie who tried to clean up DU friendly fire shot up tanks in Saudi Arabia. When asked what to about DU shot up Iraq he replied dig up the country and bury it.

DU is big Wetiko, an absolutely insane idea for a weapon to fragment radioactive waste into tiny particles or aerosolise the radioactive waste over the battlefield creating wide spread radioactivity and what is called internal emitters, tiny radioactive particles that we ingest or breathe in that lodge in our blood stream somewhere and create cancer.

Finally the DU/radioactive waste lasts geological time frames to decay, loose it radioactivity. Other than straight out nuclear weapons which ensure Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) DU in some ways is worse as it actively used now as UK and US have send DU weapons to Ukraine. Most likely the IDF is not using DU in Gaza as they want to use the beach frontage.

Finally, the only realistic antidote to our personnel and collective Wetiko madness of ever expanding cannibalism I have seen is the Transition Movement that stated in Totnes UK. It’s the only wholistic, realistic, inclusive and community wide and driven alternative way of living that I have seen.

Unless we go in the complete opposite direction we are now we will continue to pour our blood and sweat into the billionaire pockets for our own MAD.
