TO STOP NEW WARS - remember the "big" peace - remember the "bigger" peace
. . . . somebody or other | 16.08.2006 15:04 | Anti-militarism | Culture | Free Spaces | London | World
Nameless "old hacks"s brief gist of a "what the papers aint saying" - accenting the "key background info missing" - that asks why - with a "spin" towards practical "peace process / ceasefire enacting " that asks why THAT isnt already happening _( terms : - "big" peace = israeli/lebanese peace + palestine,syria, iran. A "bigger" peace = end the manufactured "clash of cultures"("war of errorism") + !
A lot of expert types are VERY sceptical of both the "cessation" terms + the way journalists are allowing this situation to get presented in the worlds media.
TO PRETEND THAT HZ ARE A "TERRORIST" GROUP IS TO FORGET THAT THEY ARE - OR WERE - ALREADY !/3 OF THE WAY UP A N.IRELAND STYLE PEACE PROCESS.
The "cessation" terms, also seem to have forgotten this fact, indeed, it might help allow a chance for even the smoothing of veryshort term peace to remember it. The parliamentary group of hz reps had ALREADY proposed that HZ should get subsumed - in fact - serve as a good, experienced, disciplined "backbone" to the future Lebanese Armed Forces - but that these armed forces should exist - in the main - as a "reserve" force - in the "swiss" manner. (as it happens, also the israeli manner - but this recent war means - even at "peace", both sides might within reason expect a very cautious attitude from each other - in fact - liasing groups of both should look for "trust + verify" approaches to think of ways to strengthen the "checking" measures each can use, to "lengthen fuses" + ensure that incidents or odd provocations cause investigating instead of escalating.)
HZ AINT A "UNIT" OR BUNCH OF FOREIGN OR DISPLACED SOLDIERS THAT CAN "WITHDRAW". THEY ARE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE f r o m THE PLACE,
Hz HAD ALREADY COMMENCED TRANSFORMING INTO A "PEACE" MODE.
It had got people elected to parliament (- ps - the votes they got - if anybody tries to "ban" Hz - are going to elect a "different" group with the same attitide - or a faction with much angrier attitudes -). It had created hospitals, social support - lots.
It has a reputation for integrity. If the world, israel too, is looking for people to create a peace that lasts - these are good people to talk peace with.
They had even sought exemption from the radical islamic "religious state/sharia law" rules, arguing that the Lebanese case was a "special case" - to exist as a diverse society, working with all sorts of others - religious or "irreligious"/secular.
HENCE - A SENSIBLE WAY TO PROCEED, AMONGST THE INCLUSION in very serious- immediate-opened talks- formal or informal - OF A MUTUAL RELEASE OF THE PEOPLE JAILED OR HOSTAGE, (palestinian m.p.s + ministers too) IS PERHAPS A FORMULA THAT ALLOWS SOUTH LEBANESE CITIZENS TO PUT WEAPONS IN LOCAL (UN checked) LEBANESE ARMY DEPOTS - yet allows people to "de-militarise" HZ back into the social support networks they had commenced transformng into - by use of the "reserve" category.
NEXT. "Incautious" words create wars. This aint "opinion" - this is as criminal as shouting fire in panicky theatres.
The speechwriters that refer to HZ as the "islamic fascists" need investigating. (outside israel - infowar in the midst of getting roskets fired at you is at least comprehensible). Even the "clash of cultures" or the "war on terror" infowarriors - IF THAT WAS WHAT THESE OTHER "INFOWARRIORS" WERE ACTUALLY TRYING TO WIN - might have decided that "seperating groups from each other" was the good tactic - instead of " WESTERN, IN-MEDIA" infowar tactics that function as CREATING that clash of cultures - CREATING terrorists - in fact, fuctioning as the INFOWAR F O R TERROR.
(perhaps even in israel, certain things need further enquiry, as smoke clears)
Certainty of a higher chance of safer success is higher the faster at least SOME "elite"U.N. -flagged troops are in place - that CAN have the trust of BOTH "sides" - that are also VERY equipped to INVESTIGATE any breaches of the ceasefire( - WITHOUT ASSUMING E I T H E R "SIDE" IS RESPONSIBLE (see "cynical" comments))
A faster disengagement - with seperating distance - CAN occur -or a bunch of firecrackers could tip the world into a spin of that spiral. The reputation + competence of the leaders + "liason-people" is key - "too many" cooks might - in this case - help prevent the "broth" from catching fire again . . . .
Its oversaid, perhaps, yet underheard. The middle east is way out in front amongst the "7 powderkegs of the world" - in both direct (nuclear reactor waste clouds, chem/bio war lab leak tragedies, etc, etc etc etc) + indirect ways (global sympathies for BOTH sides mean fuses get set off all over the world.)
Stupid journalism or bad speechwriting or unquestioned accepting of "infowar" briefs is to play with matches in a pool of petrol. The effects of that "unthinking" ALSO affects THEM , FAST. That aint rhetoric. Its fact.
The "bigger" peace is created when we engage our brains + have a bit of effort in challenging this sort of STUPID journalism (etc ) in the people around us. A proper comprehension of current news, a serious approach to "historical" events as others comprehend them - E.g. - the USA/UK spooks, banks + companies involvement in the COUP in Iran in 1953 ISNT EVEN DENIED BY ANYBODY - even if it hasnt got apologised for. The - very lengthy -letter from the iranian leader to the U.S. leader didnt even get a letter back - yet seems to have got put in the "forget this" drawer, so that presenters can refer to "axis of terror" idiocy.
The fact that it seemed to a lot of people in the late 1940s that the same "british" diplomats that tricked Lawrence of Arabia, with the Arabs, in the twenties, were about to try to trick the jews that they had promised a refuge to. The "holocaust" DID happen - to jews - amongst others - dont forget the extent that it has unconscious affects in a small nations foreign policy as much as conscious affects. Further investigating the causes - in fact - the events - of it all (1920s-1940s) might teach us ALL a lot we seem to forget - even to the extent that good scholars + investigators of ALL nations (etc) can agree that the "Protocols" got FORGED, - even for the most shoddy excuses - then reused for worse, later.
(A rogue dept of spooks that try to manipulate the Tsar to get the new minister out + the old boss back - "decimation" - chaos + pogroms + "pseudo-gangs" ( the "black hundreds") + deliberate distortions of patriotism as cover for repression of dissent - so that some "barons" could keep "slave"-wages low - even when the tsar was trying to reform - a pattern used in the USA too - then exported to europe. . . . check the facts. Same M.O. is the recent past in lots of south america, africa . . . . some of it is admitted. ( Already . . . . ) Worth investigating, at least. That iranian "Investigation" of the past might help instead of hinder.
But - all that said -IF a "big" peace process of 2006 CAN include the breaking of these cycles of tragedy in a way that does good for the palestinian "returnees" too - even if it doesnt mean going back to the very same places (in fact - for the people amongst them that decide to take up the offers THE WORLD can - with apologies + compensation - hold out to them - other good avenues might open up, at least in the immediate future - then, as that end of the mediterranean yields the advantages of peace, perhaps a "preferential" position in garden/oasis cities as yet unimagined. ) The other cultural commentators, religious leaders, commercial players or celebrities OWE this extra attention they can focus - THEY OWE IT TO THE KIDS THEY SEE EVERY DAY.
YOUR kids.Your friends kids.
Too.
The equations add up - it is the case that everybodies future is bound up in the events of the "middle east" in the very near future. The UN staff are speaking out - even with the cautious, "understatements -R-us" attitudes of international diplomats -if you listen - its far worse than they say - much, MUCH worse than they sound. Other "experts"are too - even if a bit deterred . SOME "experts" are playing everything down. The "move-on" , "think about other things" , "same old situation, see you next (WITH PICTURES) outrage" message has gone out to newsrooms. . . .
STAY OUTRAGED. BUT AT THE WAR - AT THE WASTE - AT THE STUPIDITY - AT THE RISK - instead of against "either" people.
If the lands, soaked again in too much blood - again - could spring up red poppies from the new-churned earth - to mean you didnt turn away - they might cover the world. Perhaps the rain, the tears mightnt ever stop. In 1945 a lot of people from that land had had very bad treatment in other places - they DID need a good place. Others need a good place too. The World is very "small", these days - they say. The proportion of people in the world that have these lands as the "backdrop" to key lessons or teachings in the religions they profess to abide by is a surprising amount. If even a lottery - or a penny each - could allow the COSTS, then it isnt the cash thats the problem.
Its the lack of thinking. DONT STOP THINKING ABOUT IT.
The immediacy of the tragedies, a different "fog of war" can also prevent us from seeing ways out - but if these are "glossed over" we are also suppressing the very highest of human emotions - that way we are affected by the things that happen to "strangers" - that "good samaritan" thing. But, a twin track very-cynical, yet"reaching-further-than-we-can-grasp" approach IS often the way out of the "complexity" of the problems we face.
COMMENTS/ ADDITIONS LATER - TO INCLUDE REFERENCES TO PAST PEACE PROCESSES - BUT FOCUS AROUND THE RECENT PAST, + THE NEAR FUTURE. . . .
. . . . remember . . . .
IT WAS - IN FACT - A GOOD FOUNDATION FOR BREAKING OUT OF THE SPIRAL OF VIOLENCE - - - - IN FACT, DESPITE THE TRAGEDY, IT REMAINS A GOOD FOUNDATION FOR PEACE - EVEN, DUE TO THE INCREASED ATTENTION OF THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD - a good foundation for the "big" peace - even the "bigger" peace - the changes everybody needs in the way the world runs.
- this debate continues from the "if the small peaces aint working, try a "big" peace. . . . its also worth checking the comments with the "ongoing war in lebanon" main piece, uk indymedia

cheers - here's a couple of small "big peace" ideas then
16.08.2006 18:56
The Bosnian war of the 90s brought a lot of old ex-cold-war specials out to supplement pensions - or when some of them had seen the TV pictures, + wanted to do something about it. ( That mirrors the "gallow glass" / pirate-mercenary variety of a lot of the people out in the increasing pool of people acting as short-term or single-job types that serve to massage the "Casualty Numbers" that appear in the media .These days, when the "peace movement" cant get portrayed as "against the squaddies" (what with the next speaker against the "war of errorism" very often some ex- brigadier or ex-spook as a "yeti" typical trot hippy lefty type.
Good thing too.) - the TV Casualty numbers are a factor - even if the scarred, screwed up or maimed dont get much attention - in fact, in the states it seems some of them even get aggro IN CASE they might speak out against the wars - though thats changing. Anyway - the word "gallow glass" is anglicised gaelic for "foreign soldiers" - these were at first people from the islands + west coast of scotland ( it Grim up N ) that went to the aid of the people of Ireland - about 900 years ago - when the feudalist southerners were trying to invade, when the highlands + islands had a pact defence with the kings of sweden etc so that "1066 + all that" didnt mean occupation for a few hundred years after. Often taken to mean the same as the "pirate-mercenary", the "gallow glass" bunches had a lot in common with the "international brigade" that went to spain, or the young islamic lads from all over the world that responded to the Srebrenica massacre as a 1990s Guernica - then end up in the "thousands-of-secret-jihadi-cells-in-our-midst" faked-up terror hoax tales of the "press", along with people that were in fact recruited by western spooks + ex-spooks to get funnelled by pakistan, at the request of weatern governments, to get taught the way to attack the "soft underbelly" of the Soviets! ( Hence "Londonistung") (rumour has it that later some of these innocuous-seeming ex-uk-spook suburban recruiters later tried to twist some of these unwitting kids into a block of vote-abstaining islamic agitators "to lower the labour vote" - so they were told - +perhaps other things). But I digress . The pirates, in fact, also have a reputation - or - to some extent have allowed a tradition to spring up that might, shall we say, have added possible scope when the actual facts about pirates are discovered. To wit, the fact that these people were very often conned - at times with drink or drugs, to "get con sent" - or pressganged - then stolen away from communities to get shipped out, far from the support of parents, grandparents etc, then used as cannonfodder at sea in what were, in essence, looting raids against other ships - to slaughter others the same as them, that had gotten conned or kidnapped from different communities. The pirates were people that refused to get used, then rearranged the "distribution" system, offered the sailors of other ships safe treatment + a chance to join them if they also rebelled, ( THAT was why they flew the black skull'n'crossbones flags as they "attacked - to "advertise" a chance for people to get free .)Then, these were the "Quaker-type" equivalents that founded scores of different "new _ _ _ _ s" (insert name of much loved, banished-from birthplace here) - in fact, later, the same black/ skull'n'cross flags were seen in the "crowds" that rebelled against that system that had allowed them to get dragged away.
Anyway - these ideas are from a mercenary cafe in the bosnian war of the nineties - with some polish (- to get continued . . . .) digressing is good too
rqwe RENEE BAH K 4 RENEE CARBEAUT etc etc etc etc
so, less digressing perhaps, to keep THIS comment unhidden. . . .

(with the whistle of munitions in the background punctuating the grunts (hi!) from the seeming endless chess games, the drunken "so if that was YOU lot, then THAT was US lot, who the F. . . did THAT" mutual cold war debriefs - "gophers + drivers etc aint supposed to have access to such "ecumenical matter" strategic background - but - - - -
"GET . . . ."
Yes. The gist of this chance for peace to put into the sane seeming " if the small peaces aint working - try bigger peaces" debate was - or the intro to it was - threefold
1 get the peace process in Ireland to happen ( - that did happen -despite the flak )
2 get investigating some of the seeming "third players" (etc) in the abovementioned cold war ( + other) situations
3 get the ex-"terrorists" + serious campaigning, "radical" types to replace the "Studyofterrorism" centres, "Think"tanks, etc - that, even at the surface, have interests - or perhaps, a self-inflicted reversed telescope when it comes to explaining that
TERROR DOESNT WORK
- even, in the current middle east situation, to get loyalists, IRA, Basques, exRaf , ex Brigata Rossa - etc - to explain the way the "strategy of tension" didnt work (- in fact, it seems to most historical experts looking back from 2006 that it was a strategy of faked provocations - Bologna railway station etc. - designed to smear the "left" of the time, hence to "inoculate" society against certain ideas - in fact - the rumours of those times said, it seems, that even the people running these operations had gotten manipulated by others trying to distract attention from actual crimes - but the books remain open as far as thse go - but then - the cases do too.)
The aim of this way, amongst other ways , of all o win g peace in a situation that MIGHT have "other players" or "other complexities" - is that even as investigations finish, as some are allowed "in from the cold" ( - or - out from heat) in all kinds of ways (blackmail, coercion, even "internal" tricks are expected in the sorts of set-ups that involve "ex-spooks" - if a few "went commie", a lot of others might have cut a corner or two, taken a cut, then - pressure . . . . to say that DIDNT happen - isnt a plausible theory - the matter to investigate is when, what people, then - looking past some cut-outs - (even people that "think its ALL down to them!) - the way it weaves together ( or - lets face it - gets tangled up) - then trying to find the good ways to untangle it all - then - the fast ways. (in case).
THE "DIGEST":
IF SOME PEOPLE MIGHT HAVE GOT A BIT "PUPPETEERED" TO SOME EXTENT OR OTHER - WITH CERTAIN "BIG SPINS" - THIS HELPS PEOPLE TO CUT THE SHACKLES THEMSELVES -
If they aint, then to have spread serious thinking about the flaws in the ENTIRE strategy of terrorism-as-a-way-to-ANY-sort-of-success is going to cost less than a couple of squadron sorties bombs - but it doesnt have the blowback.
"FACT IS, "SIR", IF WE KEEP DOING THE "SORTIES" ALL WE ARE GOING TO GET . . . . IS . . . . THE BLOWBACK"
Thats a quote from someplace or other - but with a small twist or two it could equally have come from a "training camp" some other place. To transform everything you love into a war, a hate, a vengeance, a struggle - is to crush it, for as "others" actions have "cause d" your reactions, then others react. . . . a brief waving of a flag over what is t urned into a graveyard after - even the churches - each "church" the same ashes - the trees all - stumps - - - - it aint worth it. THE OTHER WAYS CAN WORK.
Or that last sequence from the "Third Man" plays itself out - forever - chasing each other down lengthening sewers
then,
wonder
. . . . if we all got played against each other
. . . . then a different chase down different sewers
HENCE, DIGEST OF THE DIGEST:
DEFUSE THE "WARS" AS WE INVESTIGATE. . . .
