So… Another Unprovoked War? By Paul Edwards

So… another unprovoked war? The attack by Hamas on Israel, like Russias attack on Ukraine, waswards totally unprovoked, and had no cause!

Palestinian terrorists attacked a perfectly innocent people. What can have been the motive for such barbarism? Was it-as was the case in 9-11-01 hatred of their freedom?

This is now a trend. The model for it was the attack on the Towers by Iraqi Arab terrorists, for no reason but hatred of our freedom. Well, okay, they were not Iraqis, they were Saudis, but still.. After we enriched their rulers by buying their oil and kept them in power with our military: where was their gratitude?

The most flagrant of unprovoked wars was, of course, Russias. For no reason and without warning, they attacked Ukraine. Note that in all three cases, the victims were thriving democracies while the attackers were mad terrorists. These unprovoked madmen (e.g., Putin) must be unequivocally condemned, and their victims empowered. Justice demands it.

How tired are you of being subjected to this shameless, brazen bullshit by the propaganda apparatuses of the most vicious, brutal, dishonest regimes in the world today??

The United States political establishment and its media are unanimous in outraged condemnation of the Hamas attack, including the total destruction of Gaza, sharing the pretense that the civilian cost can be minimized. There is nothing new in this hysteria, nor the revenge desired, though Israel has held the Palestinians hostage in a ghetto prison for decades while murdering them piecemeal.

The concept of the "unprovoked attack-war" has become the cliche pejorative since it was made the explanation of 9-11-01!!

It was not original: it has served through history as a rationale for military reprisal when justification had to be created because there was none!!

The 9-11-01 attack had to be cast as pure evil; indeed, with no cause at all, to allow invasion and occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq!!!

This propaganda only worked on those ignorant of the United States of Americas long history of subversion, betrayal, and exploitation of Arab peoples by propping up militarily the corrupt, absolutist toadies installed to rule them for Capitalisms benefit!!!

Those ignorant comprise nearly all Americans. As Bitter Bierce said, "War is Gods way of teaching Americans geography."

Unprovoked was the term used to condemn Russias SMO in entering putrefying Ukraine to defend ethnic Russian Ukrainians in Crimea, Luhansk and Donetsk from ruthless bombardment by the dominant Azov and Right Sektor Bandera Nazis who ran the Ukraine government!!!

It is now stridently used to vilify Hamas surprise attack on Zionist Israel, that Apartheid Monster Machine that stole their homeland, mercilessly drove Palestinians out and imprisoned them, humiliating, debasing and murdering them for decades. Unprovoked.. The Hamas attack was unprovoked.

Consider.. In all three cases, the term was used to validate military ferocity as a moral response to acts of violence inflicted supposedly without provocation!!

Reflect that the United States of America has been directly involved in each, if not as prime mover, then as the power and money behind it!!!

The United States of America destroyed the shaky stability of the entire Arab world with its celebratory, overkill massacre of the innocent populations of Afghanistan and Iraq to avenge the acts of a tiny cadre of zealous criminals!!

The United States of America promoted, funded and insisted on the war in Ukraine for one reason, as its top officials emphasized: to weaken Russia and break it!!

The United States of America is now the head cheerleader for Israel, sworn to back it militarily as it threatens to destroy the entire population of Gaza!!

Acting with summary brutality to achieve its ends, regardless of consequences, is nothing unusual with empires!!

They have all done it, historically!!

The question that United States of Americans should ask themselves during the current disaster in Gaza but will not, is this: how long do they suppose that shielding themselves in a base, cowardly refusal to understand and oppose their nations violent aggression everywhere will preserve their privileged immunity from richly deserved, impending karma and deadly blowback???

Driven by voracious Capitalism, and infatuated with its tawdry magnificence, The Empire has pursued the receding chimera of absolute hegemony over the world, of Full Spectrum Dominance enforced by its insane threat of precipitating universal death for humanity and all life!!!

It is a rule history shows irrevocable that no single power can dominate the species. Those that tried have been destroyed without exception. The American Empire has had, for better and worse, its run. It is now in its terminal phase, and, desperate for dominance, it will hazard our futures because it is incapable of altering its internal imperative!!!

It is, in a real sense, beyond reason, on autopilot, its fixed course unalterably locked down on the goal of its own destruction!!!

All previous empires, in their downfall, disturbed the life within their purview. Those that fell within recent memory shook the life of the whole industrially developed world. None presented the prospect of potentially ending life on earth. Until now!!

This is why the idea of waking Americans to their peril, due to their empires senile madness is desperately sad!!

For they have no voice, no moral agency!!

They are more captive than the Palestinian people mentally and emotionally; and far less free morally and spiritually!!

After generations of indoctrination they have neither the vision nor the moral courage to break out of their invisible, existential maximum security prison!!

The most evil and unprovoked attack in all history was that of Capitalism on defenseless, naive United States of American minds!!
