The World Cannot Afford More Victims of War

Global Research, October 02, 2014
It is known and documented that the US and its allies have been financing, training and arming rebel factions in Syria, including ISIS, with a view to topple Bashar Al-Assad. That strategy did not work and now we are told that ISIS must be defeated through bombing raids. This military intervention violates international law and Syria’s territorial sovereignty. The goal of Obama’s “War on Terror” is not to defeat ISIS, but to topple non-compliant regimes. In his Orwellian speech at the UN, Obama said:
“We must declare war on war, so the outcome will be peace upon peace.”
Wage war to create peace?
The threat of a wide regional war in the Middle East is accompanied by ever more sensationalist lies by the mainstream media. The tensions are high and the outlook is grim.
As Michel Chossudovsky wrote:
“A sophisticated and all encompassing propaganda program supports war in the name of World peace and global security.
The underlying scenario of Worldwide conflict goes far beyond the diabolical design of Orwell’s 1984.
The Ministry of Truth upholds war as a peace-making undertaking by twisting realities upside down.
In turn, the lies and fabrications of the mainstream media are presented with various innuendos in a complex web of deceit.”
The temptation to view this tense political atmosphere as doomed is high. Indeed, today’s modern weapons systems know no bounds in their potential for carnage and destruction, and we have some very dangerous leaders (many of whom have been “democratically” elected) poised at the triggers. They are, after all, the ones who stand to profit from taking us into the next World War.
This is exactly the reason why we must not unplug, tune out or look away. The world cannot afford more victims of war. There ARE steps to take, and they require mass mobilization.
Awareness of what is happening in the world around us is a crucial first step. Don’t automatically trust the news you read – question it; check the sources; follow the money. And more than anything, keep the dialogue going and spread the message to those around you. The tools are all there – newsletterssocial media,videos – so let’s get creative and put them to good use.
