WAR of the 21st Century

cleaves | 04.02.2007 17:42 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Anti-racism | World

The real war today is for survival; whether the species earns the right to survive or annihilates itself remains to be seen but the money is on annihilation, where it belongs! It is counter-productive to focus on the external manifestations of man’s evolutionary struggle against his dual nature – the WAR today is the final war for the species, it is the last battle of LIFE against DEATH.

Opposing forces vying for supremacy are today undisguised ideologies of death and destruction; the most heinous are religion, nationalism/tribalism and various forms of antiquated, destructive world views/‘isms, chief among those are capitalism and its infantile progeny, socialism/communism. Today, however, all factions find common ground in nihilism; the consequences of pollution and violent conflict confront us all with each other and ourselves.

The enlightened and intelligent option of uniting for the common good has been completely abandoned in favour of the primitive forces of death and destruction that masquerade today as religion and minority representation/government. Mayhem and ruination at every turn identity these forces; traditional methods of disguising malevolent forces fail in today’s ultra-communicative world; the people are losing patience and are becoming disillusioned with their leaders and social institutions of ‘morality’.

Today we all face the last strategies of ruling elites, violent confrontation, WAR and the perpetuation of fear. These last desperate measures only exacerbate the global problems we face TOGETHER AS A SPECIES – it is not useful to divide the whole at this stage of human (d)evolution! Beware and be aware of those who would divide us by any means – they are the purveyors of death. Humanity either survives as ONE or races to extinction divided.

Regardless of any superficial differences the hard reality of global crisis must be faced; survival of the species relies on cooperation and mutual assistance not the highly destructive status quo of conflict and war, which only serves the interests of the few. Relying on others to save YOUR life and the lives of family is clearly not a viable alternative today. The most calamitous option at present (NOW) would be failure to arrest (in every sense of the word) the lying, murdering, corrupt, self-interested powers known to the whole world. To delay decisive action in this regard would lead to a crisis reaction in a future where the situation rapidly declines beyond the reach of any ordering principles/mechanisms.

I have personally experienced the effects of infrastructure shutdown after a cyclone immobilised a major capital city. Within 72 hours of no power, water, food, people began shooting each other as owners of supermarkets and other facilities attempted to secure their properties against mothers and fathers trying to feed their babies! This occurred in a western ‘civilised’ city! Imagine the effect of the combined forces that have been stirred by the effects of pollution and global warming/climate change. My city was destroyed by one force only, wind; the population was aware that food and help were available as the destruction was only LOCALISED! Imagine the effect of global disruption in a world already at war!

THE MURDERERS AND LIARS MUST BE STOPPED NOW AND WE AS A PEOPLE MUST DEMAND A UNIFIED RESPONSE TO A GLOBAL PROBLEM – THE GREATEST THREAT TO SURVIVAL TODAY IS DIVISIONISM!

Act now in a coherent and harmonious fashion for the good of all or suffer the consequences of allowing the forces of division and destruction to continue unchecked. The scientists and other specialists have not spelled out the horror scenarios of the future for fear of social unrest – my response is, better a little now that a lot more later; denial has never been a solution.

We are ONE.

Peace.
