I'm raising three sons in a world that I don't want them to live in. A world of hate, deception, war, injustice, and serfdom. A world that seems out of our control to change. If given a choice, who would want to live in that world?
Yet, we try to live the change that we want to see. We don't have TV, we homeschool our boys, and we've opted out of the system as much as possible. We eat healthy, don't use dangerous household chemicals, and shop almost exclusively at the local level. We grow food, keep chickens, recycle, and live as simply and independently as feasible. And we've taught our children that the principles of peace and love carry more weight than patriotism or any other manufactured beliefs.
But sometimes personal change doesn't seem to be good enough to counteract a powerful establishment intent on having more war and more power.
The idea of peace doesn't seem to be strong enough to prevent these engineered conflicts. What do we tell our children of the absolute destruction of Libya over so-called humanitarian concerns? When dragging the bloody body of the toppled leader through the streets is being hailed as some sort of victory. This, in the same week that Iraq, after all the tragedy there, was deemed mission accomplished for the umpteenth time.
Any peace-loving person who knows the real score of NATO's Libya invasion must be incredibly disheartened.

America and NATO countries claimed there was ;a "humanitarian crisis," illegally seized Gaddafi's international assets, and fraudulently sold a "no fly" zone to the United Nations. That no fly zone turned into arming radical Islamic rebels and carpet bombing heavily populated cities and critical infrastructure to remove or kill their popular leader Gaddafi. Immoral war crimes all. And American children are supposed to cheer alongside the television about this "victory"?
Worse yet, all of this was done without any authority by the people or independent oversight by their representatives. Congress was never given a chance to debate or vote on this military action and expenditure. The media was complicit as usual, selling establishment lies about humanitarian intervention to neuter the anti-war crowd. Now, surprise, surprise; NATO is carving up Libya's vast resources into Western hands as they prepare for their next conquest. There seems to be no force capable of confronting this monster.
The increasingly impotent anti-war protesters who vehemently opposed Bush's aggressive wars and criminal torture, were suddenly cheering President Obama when he subverted the rule of law for regime change and resource raping. What's more, the despised Bush doctrine of preemptive war now seems to be the international model for dealing with any real or manufactured threats, or even minor internal concerns of sovereign nations like in the case of Libya.
The success and spoils from the violent overthrows of these countries seems to have intoxicated those on the winning side. Drunk with power from having gotten away with such obscene murderous crimes and outright plunder, they're already bragging about Syria being next, while also setting the stage for taking on Iran. It seems they will stop at nothing to conquer the last holdouts to their control.
Consequently, we're clearly headed for more bloodshed. So who, if anybody, can possibly stop this killing machine? It seems very unlikely that Western powers will sober up long enough to see the evil of their ways and quit the path of war on their own. Can other countries like Russia or China with their combined killing machines stop them? If you look close enough, it appears the West is actually trying to bait them into a greater conflict. Or, perhaps, it's just a predictable byproduct of empire building. Regardless, it's clear that a bigger war is approaching.
As my boys rapidly approach draft eligibility age, how do I prepare them for a future surely filled with war when they believe in peace? I keep telling my kids that if enough people wanted peace, we'll have peace. But I'm not sure if that's true anymore. I want to believe that simply the idea of peace should be enough to unite the masses, but strangely it isn't. Everyone remains afraid of whatever the television tells them to fear, or they're just distracted by their other hardships.
Nonetheless, it's difficult to imagine a peaceful world given the apathy to Western aggression. It appears we have no choice but to surrender to this reality until enough people demand that it stops. And even then, we appear to face an uphill battle. It boils down to a simple question; do you want to live in a world of war and serfdom or a world of peace and liberty? We better make up our mind real quick, otherwise we may have no say in the matter.

So, I make up my mind, then what?
It has been demonstrated by Milgram that, even if the outcome is fatal, humans favor Authoritative Imperative at a two to three ratio. Under the current conditioning induced by the education system, it may even exceed that rate!
Look at law enforcement: Their training has changed their mission and attitude from helping citizens to confronting them. Law enforcement has become an entity that serves their own best interests first. LE to often appears more as an enemy than a friend. They are especially adept at revenue collection, perception manipulation, and legal forms of entrapment.
Not that long ago, spectators would assemble with lunches and comfortably settle down to watch cavalry engagements - the slaughter of men and animals!! The past 50 or so years of warfare has been an historical anomaly. Western civilization has confined battles to foreign soil and has isolated the civilian population at home from the tragedies.
World war may be inevitable. In truth, peace is a low priority option for humans.
Post WWII, there was an intensive search to understand the causes of warfare and how to prevent it. The NWO grew out of that, an assessment that nations were the cause of war. That was a mistake, IMO, nations don't cause war, people do.
Original sin and all that, we are flawed. We are easily persuaded to forget rationality and be swept up in various group insanities. But when we are in our right minds, most people want to live in peace. We have our own problems of making a living, raising families, and trying to enjoy OUR lives.
It seems to me that it is those with power, whether State, religion, finance, media, corporate - whatever power, those with power accumulate it and then want more. They always then develop ideas and plans for the rest of us, ideas and plans that are inevitably bad news.
So we will always have war and suffering so long as we have us. We can't seem to get out of our own way. I always think of Jung and his solution to the unsolvable: we have to always remember that we all cast a shadow. The more we can remember that, the better we can cope. There is no miracle. There's just us.

Perhaps an aggravating issue might be that there are too many "us's"! Nowadays, it's almost impossible to avoid another "us". We are never alone; we're constantly influencing and being influenced by other "us's". Even the "primitive" areas are awash with evidence of a human presence.
Sooner or later the population growth will be unsustainable, and humans will vanish as do too much bacteria on a petri-dish.
The very first place change happens is in our own heads
Great comments!
Perhaps it needs to change in soldiers' heads the most.

Except for the psychotics accepted out of desperation for manpower, most soldiers are not dangerous in civilian life. One hopes that they retain perspective and respect for the civilians who do support them.
They are the protectors of the realm and NOT an arm of law enforcement.
Nope...sorry....soliders will do as ordered... I am in IRAQ right now living among them, eating meals with them...talking with them about these issues... I am comfortable in saying at least 60% will do as ordered no matter the task.. The question I asked that I am most concerned with is, "If the President deamed the 2nd Amendment to be counter productive to the United States, would you go door to door, collecting firearms?" Roughly, 6 out of 10 people said yes, it's a job...a living...it's how they make money to feed their families... The only way I see that we can stop this madness is to starve the government of their resources (Tax money).. But that will start an internal war with the system. Everyone will suffer before it gets better...Maybe it should... Maybe it's meant to be... It's Nature's way to thin the population... Everyone wants to go to heaven, but no one wants to die... So, we preach non violence... I am beginning to believe, violence is inevitable...
I am 69 y.old! I did see the world going to hell in a basket for some years now. But since 911 it's going at suerfast speed. Now I was telling that to the younger generation about it! I did tell them "It's you future" Not mine.
I'm being seen as a crazy paranoid conspiracies nut old man.
So now I don't give a CRAP what's going to happen. The intelligent morons can continue to watch Factor X & dancing with the stars & listen to comments from bimbos & boofheads!
The greatest deprivation to humanity is the deprivation of the knowledge of THE TRUTH. Let's search for the truth and then we will be able to stand against these tyrants. Learn about Imam Hussein(peace be upon him)and his teachings will give us strength, unity and guidance towards true peace.
America is a nation desperate to believe they remain a just and moral people even as they carry out unjust and immoral wars upon other nations. The American Dream is born of, and maintained by domination and greed.
The American dream only came to be because of one of the most extensive acts of genocide in recorded human history. By the end of the so-called Indian Wars, the 1900 census recorded 237,000 indigenous people in the United States. That was all that was left of an estimated 12 million.
It is a country where greed has combined with fantasies and delusional acts of superiority to produce horrific crimes against humanity.
The United States is the wealthiest and most powerful country in the history of the world, and a country that claims for itself a unique place in history.
The American Dream is put forward as a dream for all the world to adopt, thank God we did not all adopt their ways because today it has become nothing short of a nightmare. The American dream of Empire is about to collapse, and not all the T-Bagers nor all the Yes We Can Presidents will save them. There is an old saying, what goes round comes around.
As Malcolm X put it, “I see America through the eyes of the victims. I don’t see any American dream; I see only an American nightmare.”
As my friend the writer Inge Perreault wrote:
"Maybe what the inscription on the Statue of Liberty says should be altered and changed to: “Give me your rich dictators, your Kings and your Princes, your scoundrels who made millions on the backs on the poor, give me your ruthless, your murderers of the masses, your multi-billion dollar business moguls and their ilk. We will forgive them their sins and gladly join their ranks in stealing from the poor and the middle class while blaming illegal immigrants, the new slaves of the 20th and 21st Century". Nothing will change until the USA is brought to its knees and the change needs to come from within. The rest of us in the outside world look on you as a festering sore that needs to be healed. But that healing needs to come from inside. I for one do not think it will ever happen.
The ESSUMM ( Elite secret societies of Unseen Mad Men ) has been around a lot longer then WW11.
These mad men ( monsters from hell ) have been around hunreds of years if not thousands. It's a slow process to a NWO and the monsters that plan it know the real secrets of so called black magic that is really very advanced science that the rest of the world have know idea about. Do your reseach and maybe we could beat the beast at it's own game.
I thought that I'll never get the chance to read such a wonderful and painful article.
Mr. Eric Blair has gave me the great opportunity to happily see that out there really are left few people as him and me and you the commentators of this superb piece of humanity and geniality. Thank you all !
The author and the respondents are GREAT, thank you all of you. Everyone of you are all right. But you are the small infinity !
What should I add more, it is more than obvious that it is the never ending story ! The never ending story of “slaves loving their slavery and killing jobs”
Killing is all religions are all about !
Now we have the new Machine God and Machine religion !
Always people not able to grow mature as well the young immature generation, most of them not able to grow mature , succeed to destroy the future and the natural Justice. ( Mircea Eliade about al history’s “ military man” as well Donovan with his Universal Soldier …)
Their happiness and life goal is only that they get their “toys” to play with, and never don’t take the responsibility to be mature responsible people to their children and their own future.
Killing, oppressing, absolute submission deathly “toys” make them slaves ,as well us , of the absolute irresponsibility .
With their killing toys they get the responsibility to discard them self from morals and ethics and all human –good- characteristics , just to be obedient criminals to get their salary.
And the killings and slavery goes on and on and on , that because the young generation get his dream toys, a lot of toys , most of them the instrument of perfect crime !
Actually the young generation has got the happiness to be free to never grow up, and the responsibility of the total happiness to destroy the future of humanity with their toys and machines !
Some very good and honest post but as we know, America, as Benjamin Netanyahu stated, America is easily moved. moved in the right direction. henry Kissenger said, America buys war like children gobble candy." Adolf Hilter stated, "Its a good thing for the government that the masses don't think!" our government learned long ago that all they had to do was to question Americans patriotism and they would be behinds government in going to war. enen when the truth is know millions of good little sheepe fall in line behind the government plans. we were told that 4,267 US troops died as a result of the Gulf War when the actual number was 73,864 as reported by The Dept. of Veteran Affairs. Disability claims numbered 1,620,906. 11,000 US troops died as a result of exposure to depleated Uranium. www.addictedtowar.com www.rense.com/Hiroshima To Iraq-61 years of...
The US military has become The Mean Green Killing Machine.
Great article and great comments.
The police and military are simply mercenaries hired by the enforcers, the US government, for the Illuminati.

We need to hold the MEDIA accountable for lying to us. They are guilty of being accessories to GENOCIDE.
