WAR – WHO PROFITS FROM DEATH, MISERY AND FEAR?

What are the patterns of war, the general ideas behind the major wars that have been fought on the European continent since the French Revolution? What are the common traits, the psychological reasons that time after time have led European nations to war against each other? And what is the actual outcome, the balance of all the many wars fought?

I question the necessity of war as a natural extension of politics and I also question the common man’s inner nature of violence as the reason for the great wars of our history and ask instead who has profited by the wars we have fought. Is there any possible party at all that would profit by the continuance of war between nations, ideologies or religions?

It is obvious that every war fought has bought enormous amount of misery, death and destruction to all the nations and peoples involved. The soldiers of every partaking nation have given their lives for the machinery of war; they have died or got wounded either in flesh or in mind. They have carried the practical burden of every war ever fought. The civilian populations, who have through the development of technology been gradually brought into the focus of war, have more and more shared their plight. The rape and destruction of war has killed and maimed tens and hundreds of millions of people in Europe since the French Revolution at the end of 18th century. The common man has not profited by any of these wars – or has he?

Equally have millions and millions of homes, farms and towns been destroyed in the fire-belching movements of the dragons of war. Homes and towns have been devastated, rebuilt and devastated again to be eventually rebuilt again some day. It is the common man, woman and child who have lost his livelihood, his sweet home with all the dear belongings. It is the common man of every nation involved who has borne the burden of every single war. They have paid with their blood and their suffering.

How is it with the ideologies that we have fought our wars for? What is the state of “freedom, equality and brotherhood” in Europe after all the wars fought for them? What has happened to the national ideologies that have led us to war after war? How have fared the political ideologies that we have fought for or against for centuries? What is the state of royalty, communism, socialism, nationalism, nazism, imperialism or capitalism? What is the balance of over 200 years of ideological development in Europe? And what is the state of religion, how has the church and it’s basic ideology of God’s love fared during these years? Who or what has won and gained ground and why? Has the common man gained, are we truly the winners? Are we free, are we equal, do we share a brotherhood with every man, woman and child?

Question also arises why and how – in the face of obvious misery that ever war has brought with it – the common man has time after time been enticed to enter war to experience both killing and being killed? Why do men go to war to kill each other and the women and children of the “enemy”? Didn’t all of the leave behind their mothers, wives and children, their loved ones to be eventually be raped and killed by “the enemy”? Do we really protect our own by destroying the enemies?

Or have we ever really go rid of our “enemies” by warring against them and killing them? Have we got rid of all the people who don’t look, think and act like we do? For isn’t it the differences of the nation, politics, ideologies, race, culture, language or religion that have been used to create those monstrous images of “the enemy” that should be vanquished and warred against? Why do we need enemies and why are new enemies constantly created and perpetrated after the old ones become non-potent and meaningless? And how do we know who is our enemy? Or where is the image of the enemy created and why?

So what is the point of war? Why do men go to war? Or why are they led to war? Is there a party who would profit by creation wars, sending nations to crush each other in the violent embrace of war? There must be a reason, a common factor arising from human psychology that explains and makes it possible to send us to wars against “the enemy” – whether he is the communist, the nazi, the terrorist, the other or whatever.

There is one major human field of enterprise that may reveal some answers to these questions. This field uses military terminology and even strategies in its daily activities. During the last 200 years it has been the most successful of all the human ideologies, which is shown in its ability to practically unite the whole of Europe – and also the rest of the world – under its rule. It has succeeded in where all the military conquerors have failed. It has been able to submit the whole of our dear world under its rule, which according the great theoretician of war Carl von Clausewitz is also the basic definition and purpose of war and warfare.

Every war is a huge financial enterprise. The threatening enemy makes nations ready to spend millions upon millions of whatever currency to prepare themselves for the eventual war, they equip armies, buy arms, ammunitions and all the other necessities of warfare. The more the nations are afraid of each other the more money they spend on arms. And the munitions makers are always ready to sell, always ready to organise huge loans for those who otherwise couldn’t afford their wares. And business is business; arms are sold to all parties of all conflicts. And any result of any war is lucrative to the arms dealers, it’s a win-win situation were they are the ones who win every time. The winner of the war pays its debts with valuables looted from the loosing party, and the loosing party is held in a tight grip of debts, which can then be used to squander the remaining natural resources (such as oil and minerals) of the country.

As a result of every war fought during these 200 years the power of the actual ruler – the king, government, president or prime-minister – has diminished in proportion to the increase of debts that the country has incurred in order to fight the war. It hasn’t mattered whether you win or lose the war on the battlefield; you lose it anyhow in the balance sheet of power, which has gradually shifted the ruling impetus of the world into the hands of those who rule the debts that burden every single nation of our world. And those who have all the money, are also the ones who own all the major multinational companies including all the major media enterprises. When the power of money, the power of production and the power of information is concentrated in the hands of a small enormously rich elite, we are now ready to enter the “The Brave New World” where the atrocities of both nazism and communism become a grim reality under the auspices of benign free market capitalism, the ideology that warred against and won its “enemies” and became worse than they ever were in their usurpation of all the living resources of men and nature.

The world of business, banking and finance is the only true winner in every single war that we have ever fought. In the name of capitalism and free market economy it has used war and the threat of war as a means of gaining dominion over the whole population of the world. The development of the media and information technology has made it possible to rule the minds of men as a one fearful entity who seeks and accepts whatever solutions presented in the face of constant flow of threads and fears that seem to rule the world. This genius amongst all ideologies has camouflaged itself behind all kinds of fronts and even opposing realities, which all share the same aim and purpose: to create a world ruled by an elite who considers itself to be above the rubble of common men and women. All that truly matters for this elite is their own freedom, their own ability to realise their dream of absolute power over the world and its inhabitants. This elite uses the common old slogans of “freedom, equality and brotherhood” to market its own power structure that rules the world through free manipulation of markets and human minds.

In a world where the multinational corporations get bigger and bigger every day, where national governments have already lost their true governing grip in the face of the enormous amounts of debts that they have accumulated during the free-spending years of war or during the years lived under the constant threat of war. All the nations of the world are deeply indebted to the multinational network of ultimately private bankers of the world. No wonder that every king, president and prime minister has already learned to respect the messages and messengers of these true rulers of the world.

Right now the free market economy RULES OK! There are no viable alternatives to the free corporate rule of the whole of the world! The game is almost finished! The elite has almost won, realised its dream of absolute rule! We the common men and women have almost given up, the war upon our minds has made us weary and lazy; nothing seems to matter, nothing seems to be able to halt this train of destruction that we have bought our dear tickets from the marketers of free corporate rule of the world. We are all being sold to the lowest bidder, to the forces of the free market that can always find a cheaper and poorer country to produce the things and products that have been our livelihood. “50 cents, 50 cents first, 50 cents second, 50 cents for the third time.

The winner takes it all, and gains the true essence of his enemy in order to some day be able to balance it out in love and understanding. This is what is happening right now in our world, this is where all the warring has lead us, this is what we have to face, or die together with those who haven’t yet learned that there truly exist only one enemy, only one entity, which needs to be faced and conquered.

That enemy is my own human self, my own human set of thoughts and thinking that keeps me in the repeating mode of death and destruction, keeps me searching for the power from the submission of others instead of using my birthright of power upon my own world, upon my own experiences. When I know who I am, when I know that I do have the power – the will – to create all the worlds and experiences that I ever wish to meet, then and only then does my search for power ever end. And my search for power arises from the same emptiness, which has led our corporate leaders and financial geniuses to create and almost realise their cruel dream of absolute power upon the masses of the world. I have the same ailment, and only by facing and healing it in myself, can I ever diminish and eventually nullify the grip that corporate power structure has upon our dear living world.

There remains one major source of power that can sort out and solve this mess that we have created for ourselves. It is not the multinational corporations – they just reflect the ultimate form of our own greed. It is not the international bankers – they just reflect the ultimate form of our own need to control. It is not our own or the world government – they have already sold themselves to the greedy controllers. It is not mighty media enterprises – which sing the songs of those who pay their bills. It’s not the God of our religion – who only wants to keep me enclosed to the blind rule of his followers. It is not our fathers, mothers, forefathers or other predecessors – who all did their best with what they had.

It is the Living God that resides, and waits for your orders within yourself. It is the God’s presence in each and every one of us, which met, accepted and used gives us direct access to all the aspects of our life and our world. God in me gives me everything I ever can think of and focus upon, God in me, and you – instead of a illusory God somewhere out there in the hands of some greedy individual selling me his visions of convoluted power through some monstrous religious, financial or political greed.

I am the creator of my world. Whatever I think, accept as a common thought, becomes my reality. That is our birthright as sons and daughters of Living God in us. That is the power that maintains this miserable world, for as long as we maintain our miserable thoughts and emotions our world is bound to reflect that in its expression. So the only thing we need to win and conquer is our own thought, our own reactions to the stimuli of the world. This is what quantum mechanics has actually been telling us for decades: The Observer is intricately united with his experiment – his world – and only gets the results that he is prepared for or is ready to observe!

When I see the world with the fearful eyes of a controlled human being, I maintain a world of that effect. When I choose to see the world with the all-accepting love of God – also residing in all of us – I create a world of love and acceptance. That’s how simple it is! Which is the very reason that is not simple for us. We have been educated to excel in intellectual complicity, where simplicity is seen as a sign of stupidity instead of geniality.

Just as our dear brother Jesus said the Kingdom of God is for the children, for those who have the power of the simple and uncomplicated mind. That is what God is, that is what resides hidden under our cloaks of fear in core of every single human being. That simplicity is the freedom we all are after, that simplicity is the equality that we all yearn for, and that simplicity is the brotherhood that we have just forgotten for a short while. A God realising his or her Godhood in human form, cannot NOT to see and respect the same sacredness in each and everything around himself. That is the God that we all are. The selfsame source of Everything.
