Watch: Military is for racketeering

“People think the government keeps the police and the army for citizen’s protection, but they don’t understand that the government needs these forces for their own defense – against the oppressed and enslaved citizens.” (Tolstoy) Watch today’s evidences in this video.

Hoaxes

The alleged War on Terror was proclaimed in 2001.

We hear our armies are being sent to the developing countries. The reason given is to fight terrorism.

Yet, many of us know what a fraud that 9/11 events were.

  • “The events of 9/11 have been strongly analyzed and established, so that we know what happened, we know that official story is a fabrication.” (say Engineers for 9/11)
  • “They simply got people to believe that there was a real threat out there, when in fact there wasn’t one.” (says congressman Jim McDermott about 9/11 events)
  • “The terrorist threat wasn’t what this was all about. They just wanted us to be fearful enough so that we’d get behind.” (says Michael Moore in his “Fahrenheit 9/11”)
  • “Terror events in New York, Paris, Israel, Iraq,… as we all remember them. – Stop trying to come up with black-and-white definitions of fake vs. not fake. And instead become more savvy consumers.” (says Steve Rosembaum, the creator of 9/11 alleged “amateur videos”)
  • “Specialized companies, like CrisisActors.com supply role-play actors to make hoaxes: “We are utilizing visual senses, auditory senses, having a role play of all things and actors portray real life events. Means you can engage your own responses as they happen to that scenario. There’s something about role play and going through scenario that works for many-many levels…
    We are doing events with people where all are bleeding, and screaming, and reacting in various ways.”
  • Many of us saw the role plays of after-terror events, – actors alternating from happy to sour faces right in front of camera. Such was the case of alleged Sandy Hook school shooting: “Robbie Parker, whose daughter, 6 years old Emily Parker, you see her here, was shot and killed yesterday.” The “father of the killed girl” was plainly laughing.

Seeing such actor plays, you start to think that all killings must be mere hoaxes now.

But if these revelations were made to be seen, not by chance, what if they are to mislead the truth seekers, who get disillusioned about mainstream media lies, but have fallen for another delusion, to make them believe every tragedy is a hoax, and that nothing serious really going on in the world?

Think then – what do they need armed forces for? The weapons in the hands of the military and police are real; and these weapons of murdering people are being constantly enhanced.

And guess what are these military ads for?

  • Ad: “There are people with the calling. Most serve one weekend a month, or two weeks a year, turning money for college; protecting their community in the army National Guard – you can!”

Also, why as soon as we try to bring up the immorality of military online, we’re fiercely attacked by the government Trolls? We’ve proved for ourselves that the army topic is more sensitive for the government than many others.

And watch how zealously they continue to recruit young people!

Recruitment. Boys are deceived into military

Michael Moore showed these interviews in Fahrenheit 9/11:

  • I ran across recruiter. And there’s something I noticed about him. This is kind of another thing… I noticed it was odd; it was more like hiring me for a job than recruiting me for the army. It was the way he approached me, approached a friend of mine. Each of them has a business card, made for the army and everything.
  • There’s like… army or navy, marine recruiters they are there almost every week! In the lunch room recruiting students at the lunch.
  • Gents, you know we’re looking at you, right? Guys, you know everything about joining up? Maybe we can get you a career in music, you don’t let the Marines go for it. I’m sure you know who Shaggy is, right? – Yeah. You know anything about him? – Yeah. – How about a former Marine? Did you know it? You know anything about him? – Come into the office, we can sit down and talk. We’ll show you everything we know about the Marines. Sound like a plan? You want me to come pick you up?
  • Better to get him when there are ones or two. – Ladies, you ready to join up? – We got two over here – right over by the red van. – Yeah. – You go that way, I go this way, we’ll corner them.
  • All right, here’s my card. – What I want to do men, real quick, is uh just get some information from you so I can scratch you off my list saying I’ve already talked to you, you know, that you’re not interested. Is that cool? All right, what’s your name? What’s your phone number? What’s your address?

Where the army goes? It’s offensive warfare.

We see Canada’s appetite for foreign military missions is growing, despite the claims to the contrary; its military spending now higher than it was during the Cold War, or than at any time since the end of the Second World War.

Since 2001, the beginning of the so-called Global War on Terror (or “of Terror”), it was in the $410 billion range. If they really wanted to feed the world of hungry, wouldn’t it be better to spend this money for the godly cause?

Where does all the ammunition all go?

Mainstream media is forging a popular perception of Canadian foreign policy as largely selfless and humanitarian. And the military people are made to believe that.

  • The mood among Canadians is remarkably upbeat. In part because their focus is life saving rescue.
  • As my daughter said to me, “I miss you dad, but I know you are helping people. So it’s okay you are away.”
  • To have a chance to deploy with the U.N. is just something really special.
  • It’s the humanitarian aspect.
    (From Canadian Global News)

But Canadian military spending is evidently not earmarked for peacekeeping: the investment in

  • fighter jets,
  • armored personnel carriers,
  • naval destroyers,
  • unmanned aerial drones, etc.

And those thousands of men clearly not being trained to be dancers, but murderers.

Make no mistake. We no longer fulfill by our example as a nation the role of Leader in Disarmament and Peace-Maker to Mankind.
It is commonly supposed that our armed forces are entirely defensive in nature.
Training Regulations No. 10-5 of the War Department of the United States says “the object to be attained by (military) training is to enable the Army to wage offensive warfare… The definite end – offensive warfare, and every individual in the military service must be imbued with the spirit of the offensive.
No country has ever declared war on us before we first obliged them with that gesture. Our whole history shows we have never fought a defensive war.
(Butler, Speech: America’s Armed Forces ‘In Time of Peace’, 1933)

“Separated by a distance of a thousand miles, the United States or Canada has no great wars to fear.” (Alexis de Toqueville, Decmocracy in America)

Lloyd’s odds on the United States being invaded by a foreign power are 500 to 1 against it.
Preaching a “defensive doctrine” is a military hogwash. Actually, our armed forces have up to date plans for offensive warfare against almost every country on the globe – all in the sacred name of “national defense.”
(Butler, Speech: America’s Armed Forces ‘In Time of Peace’, 1933)

Mining and army

The most notable is that Canadian military missions locations coincide precisely with the places where Canadian capital expands their mining operations.

  • “Today Canadian companies operate resource extraction interests in more than 100 countries globally. But in some of those places not everyone is rolling out the welcome mat for those companies.” (Paikin, Troubles With Mining Abroad, 2017)

So, it’s not about the altruism of sending troops and “aids” over there.

These cheap, penny-pinching gold diggers, too greedy to pay fair wages to their laborers, and instead using forced labor where they can, would they run a risk of losing their capitals and lives, if a threat from some unscrupulous bandits was real?

How would they manage to run such lucrative businesses 24×7, for over 100 years, in over 100 countries, which are claimed to be the lands of terrorists?

When you strip away Canada’s linguistic claims to selfless devotion to human rights, and dig below the rhetorical surface of Canadian foreign policy, what Canadian leaders and policymakers are really talking about is the threat to the rights of Canadian capital to invest where it chooses, use the environment as it pleases, and repatriate its profits without interference from the troublesome locals.

Doesn’t it look like these liars, who draw a picture of unimaginable altruism, with the pretense of dedicating their lives and funds to being people liberators, run that show of benevolence to recruit more and more people, to execute their atrocities?

Is that also the reason why Canadian news never mention their #1 massive business operations they run in global South? Is it to be able to play on people’s morality senses?

Would it be the first time when the governments and media lied to people?

Why is Canada in Mali?

  • Why is Canada in Mali?
  • For Canada, there’s a lot of political, but also geo-political long-term interests involved here.
  • The fact that Canadian mining companies actually constitute the #1 presence, on the African continent. So, Canada’s presence in Mali is huge. And so, it’s beyond an altruistic peacekeeping mission to actually keep the region safe.
  • Wow. This is really fascinating. I really didn’t realize we had such a great presence there. I think someone who considers herself as fairly informed and follows this, I’ve certainly seen in through that lens, of the peacekeeping lens, that we’re going there for our own altruistic reasons, to prevent this insurgency from spreading. And that’s the narrative we get. Frankly, I am ashamed to say I never knew that we had such a strong economic interest in the region through our mining companies.
  • There’s a lot of reasons for this growing insecurity. The so-called Development Security Nexus between the mining companies, they actually contribute to destabilizing the region. A lot of those communities, especially rural communities, with mining companies coming to displace people from their own towns, we’re having a lot of these displaced people not having access to livelihoods, access to land anymore.
  • The displacement of communities to make a way for mines – that is certainly going to create local grievances.
  • The Canadian brand has actually been very much tarnished – from peacekeeping good citizen country to a country that’s bringing a lot of despair, to actually country that’s exacerbating a lot of the issues in the region.
  • Obviously, I’m sure, and there’s a lot of corruption. And so, you have now also Canadian actors involved in those potentially very much big corrupt cases.
  • And these cases are places where there’s no peace to keep. And these are long-term, long drawn out situations, and no amount of troops on the ground will, no amount of interventions can help.
    (From Peacekeeping Mining and Security in the Sahel Region – Audio Podcast)

Also, “Every increase in the army of one state, with the aim of self-defence against its subjects, becomes a source of danger for neighboring states and calls for a similar increase in their armies.”
(Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You).

These governments, having grown their own military forces, will inevitably try to keep their booty for themselves.

Canadian spending is not a response to polarization or instability, but part of the cause.

And “If Canadian mining companies require military forces to operate, they shouldn’t be there,” should they? (argued in 2002 Ken Luckhardt, a national representative for the Canadian Auto Workers, expressing the sentiments of many human rights and trade union activists)

The deceived military

So, are military people deceived, like everyone else?

  • I’ve always been amazed that the very people forced to live in the worst parts of town, go to the worst schools, and who have it the hardest are always the first to step up, to defend that very system.

Do they not question the essence of the missions they’re engaged in? Or do they chose to shut their eyes on the truth, and enjoy living parasitic lives, engaged in lusts? Because whether they will ever get a chance to “save life” or not, as they talk, they have to eat every day. And for that they owe the peasants – those poor people whom they oppress with their armed participation.

Remember General Butler speech:

I suspected I was just part of a racket at the time. Now I am sure of it. Like all members of the profession, I never had an original thought until I left the service. My mental faculties remained in suspended animation while I obeyed the orders of the higher-ups. This is typical of everyone in the military service.

We used propaganda to make the boys accept conscription. They were made to feel ashamed if they didn’t join the army.

Boys with a normal viewpoint were taken out of the fields and offices and factories and classrooms and put into the ranks. There they were remolded; they were made over; they were made to “about face”; to regard murder as the order of the day. They were put shoulder to shoulder and, through mass psychology, they were entirely changed. We used them for a couple of years and trained them to think nothing at all of killing or of being killed.
(Butler, Speech: America’s Armed Forces ‘In Time of Peace’, 1933)

To prepare soldiers for the work of massacre, their hatred is kindled by persuading them that they are hated.

  • “Battalion Commander fully expects us to be attacked in some type of way. Before we get too far. So far it’s been pretty calm, not much has happened, but be aware that they can and they probably will.”

The disillusioned

But, there always been some who didn’t lose their thinking and moral capacity; some of them got disillusioned later in their careers.

  • I’ve been a soldier for a while. Once you see the things that you see, there’s some disillusionment in that.

Some of them are starting to feel something wrong, even if can’t articulate yet, as why would the locals hate their army.

  • The kids, they get together a lot well, I can’t say kids but – guys about 17-18. They’re starting to come together, and they hate us. Just why – I’m not really sure.

And thankfully, in the midst of the atrocities committed by the people of various ranks, in all times, we hear voices of humble but real heroes, who, in the face of all strong and powerful of this world, with their intimidation, refuse to betray their consciences and stand up for what is right:

  • If you get called up will you go back to Iraq? – No. – Why not? – No. – What repercussions do you face if you don’t? – It’s possible jail time. That’s one possible thing. – Are you willing to risk that? – Yes. I will not let my person – I will not let anyone send me back over there to kill other poor people. Especially when they pose no threat to me and my country. I won’t do it.

These disillusioned people, especially the ones who are refusing to serve, are trying to say that what they saw, what they were made to do in those countries, was nothing deserving glory, but, on the contrary, disguising abuse of other people. And their conscience alerts them against doing that again.

But those who didn’t wake up before to stand up against the service, feel inner torture upon their return home.

The marketing campaign is over – that one with those recruiters in parade uniform, showing off, as if the entire military career consisted in this proud walk around.

Suddenly, we discharged them and told them to make another “about face”! This time they had to do their own readjustment, sans mass psychology, sans officers’ aid and advice and sans nation-wide propaganda. We didn’t need them any more. So we scattered them about without any “three-minute” or “Liberty Loan” speeches or parades. Many, too many, of these fine young boys are eventually destroyed, mentally, because they could not make that final “about face” alone.
(War is a Racket, 1935)

PTSDs

This is the reason for PTSDs and such mental diseases.

“All men of the rich world exist in a state of continual and flagrant antagonism between their conscience and their way of life. But it is most striking in the men participating in military service of being prepared for hatred and murder – of being at the same time a ‘humanitarian’ and a gladiator.”
(Leo Tolstoy, “The Kingdom of God is within You”)

Global News recently showed numerous cases of mental problems among ex-military, one of them says:

  • Retired army sergeant Trevor Bungay combating sleep loss and angry outbursts from his posttraumatic stress disorder. Bungay says PTSD blindsided him.

And that’s what General Butler described what he saw:

In the government hospital in Marion, Indiana, 1,800 of these boys are in pens! Five hundred of them in a barracks with steel bars and wires all around outside the buildings and on the porches. These already have been mentally destroyed. These boys don’t even look like human beings. Oh, the looks on their faces! Physically, they are in good shape; mentally, they are gone. There are thousands and thousands of these cases, and more and more are coming in all the time.

So much for the mentally and physically wounded – they are paying now their share of the war profits. But the others paid, too. They paid another part in the training camps where they were regimented and drilled while others took their jobs and their places in the lives of their communities.
 (War is a Racket, 1935)

“Anyone who serves his time in the army shares the responsibility of all these things, about which he is, in some cases, dubious, while very often they are directly opposed to his conscience. People are unwilling to be turned out of the land they have cultivated for generations, or they are unwilling to disperse when the government authority orders them, or they are unwilling to pay the taxes required of them, or to recognize laws as binding on them when they have had no hand in making them, – and I, in the fulfillment of my military duty, must go and shoot them for it? How can I help asking myself when I take part in such punishments, whether they are just, and whether I ought to assist in carrying them out?”
 (Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You)

Switch toward the use of national military forces

Apparently, to prevent such revelations (as General Butler did) from coming up on the surface again, the perpetrators are adding another layer of obscurity now. They arm and train indigenous Special Operations Forces to do the dirty work, while supplying them with weapons. Apparently it makes it easier to deceive everyone.

Since January 2019, Canada has been deploying police officers to Mali, where they’re providing ‘advice and leadership’ on issues such as community policing.

For centuries, they’ve used people’s own forces to make the oppress their own.

“Where would the oppressors get any power over you, if you weren’t abetting the thief who robs you, if you weren’t becoming accomplices to the murderer who kills you, if you did not betray yourselves?”
(La Boëtie, The Politics Of Obedience: The Discourse Of Voluntary Servitude)

  • 250 Canadians just landed on the edge of the Sahara desert, joining the United Nations’ mission to Mali, west Africa. And Mali follows what’s become a familiar pattern of peacekeeping. It’s the world’s poorest countries that are doing most of the work.
  • Not long ago the world’s wealthiest countries led the way in the world of peacekeeping. For a long time, Canada was number 1.
  • Wealthy western countries step back from peacekeeping, poorer countries are picking up the slack.
    (From Canadian Global News)

The “Training missions” might seem like innocuous exercises of altruistic foreign policy. But we know this can’t be the case, from the U.S. history of dirty wars during the decades since World War II.

Government uses army and police for their own defense – against the oppressed and enslaved citizens

The most important to remember about the military is this.

 “People think the government keeps the police and the army for citizen’s protection, but they don’t understand that the government needs these forces for their own defense – against the oppressed and enslaved citizens.” (Tolstoy, Superstition of the State)

It is for you not to think this evil won’t affect you. It is just a matter of time when they will turn against you again, as they always did.

In the past two years, large National Guard forces have seen active service in 20 strikes in as many different states, from the Pacific Coast to New England, from Minnesota to Georgia. They have used gas, bullets, and tanks – the most lethal weapons of modern war – against striking workers. Casualty lists have been impressive. In one instance, they erected barbed wire concentration camps in Georgia to “co-ordinate” striking workers with all the efficiency of the fascist repressive technique.
(Butler, Speech: America’s Armed Forces ‘In Time of Peace’, 1933)

Remember, there is one million cops in U.S., – way too many.

We’ve shown in our previous video, police can beat and arrest a harmless customer on a mere caprice of a store manager. They did that while neglecting to attend to a domestic violence call they’ve at the time receiving over speakers. That was a clear indicator that the police’s agenda is precisely to immediately address any sign of non-compliance with the government laws; this is their #1 priority, above any real domestic violence.

Similar treatment showed another video with a private person voicing his disapproval of a mining project – right in Canada, the heart of the mining capital, – for which he was immediately taken out by the police!

This is where your own taxes go – against yourselves.

Banana wars. The truth about the use of military (in 3rd world countries)

The use of standing armies, as the suppression of the small-time resistance, is not everything that military does. They actively, brutally, overthrow the entire unwanted governments.

Have you heard of “banana wars”? Sound pretty ridiculous, Middle Ages-like, aren’t they? Nevertheless, they were real, started not long time ago, and continue up to this day!

Here’s what we learned about the banana wars:

  • Mr. Edward L Bernays, who was a resident of Cambridge for the working with Guatemala for a war that almost was started because of bananas in the 50s…
  • In Guatemala case, he ran the public relations for the propaganda effort to support the overthrow the democratic government of Guatemala, which led to horrifying atrocities, which the country is still suffering from. This is one of the examples that we should be anything but proud of. (Noam Chomsky)
  • Anti-American sentiment grows in the 50s. Vice President Nixon’s goodwill tour. Angry crowds meet him at every stop. What are they angry about? One answer: Nixon, your government is responsible for the tragedy in Guatemala.
  • “It is the first time in the history of the world that the communist government has been overthrown by the people. And for that we congratulate you and the people of Guatemala for the support they have given.” – Nixon praises Castillo Armas. What Nixon doesn’t say is that Castillo Armas was handpicked by the CIA, that his army was financed and trained by the CIA, and that Castillo Armas didn’t lead a popular uprising against a communist regime, but was the head of the CIA sponsored military coup.
  • When American engineers finished the Panama Canal in 1904, President Theodore Roosevelt claims the “right to intervene anywhere in the region in order to control the sea lanes to the new canal. A decade after the canal is completed, the interventions begin, when the Marines arrive in Nicaragua in 1914.
  • United Fruit Company wants stability so that they can ship the bananas and other fruits here and there. These battles become known as Banana Wars, since fruit is one of the largest industries in the region.
  • The ad they ran: “Bananas can be eaten at any time, and served at any meal.”
  • Guatemala 1954. Flushed with success, America’s secret government decided another troublesome leader must go. This time it was Jacobo Arbenz, the democratically elected president of Guatemala. Arbenz embarked on a massive land reform program. Less than 3% of the landowners held more than 70% of the land, so Arbenz nationalized more than 1.5 million acres, including land owned by his own family, and turned it over to peasants. Much of that land belonged to the United Fruit Company, the giant American firm, that was intent on keeping Guatemala quite literally a banana republic. The CIA launched a band of mercenaries against Guatemala. Arbenz fled, and was immediately replaced by an American puppet, colonel Carlos Castillo Armas. He overturned all of the reformist activity of president Arbenz. He gave the land back to the United Fruit Company. He took land from the peasants. The CIA had called its covert action against Guatemala Operation Success. Military dictators ruled the country for the next 30 years. The United States provided them with weapons and trained their officers. Peasants were slaughtered; political opponents were tortured. Suspected insurgents were shot, stabbed, burned alive, or strangled. There were so many deaths at one point that coroner’s complained they couldn’t keep up with the workload of Operation Success.
  • What we did has caused succession of repressive military dictatorships in that country that has been responsible for the deaths of over a hundred thousand of their citizens.
  • And somebody just sings the song: “I bring a song about bananas.”
  • The United States has intervened with military forces 12 times in Latin America in this century. Many of these invasions were led by Brigadier General Smedley Butler. In his memoirs 1933 he says:
  • “I helped make Mexico safe – for American oil interests. I helped make Haiti in Cuba a decent place – for the National City Bank boys to collect revenue in. I helped pacify Nicaragua – for the international banking house of Brown Brothers. I brought like the Dominican Republic – for American sugar interests. I helped make Honduras right – for American fruit companies.”
  • “Our forces tended to support more reactionary factions, because the more oppressive, less democratic governments provide a greater order and stability. In this manner forces very often were seen as anything but liberators.” (says another marine)
  • Many of the marines, who fought in the banana wars, become disillusioned later in their careers. Smedley Butler put it best: “I spent most of my time being a high-class muscle man for big business, Wall Street, and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer for capitalism.”

General Butler also told:

I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long.

I spent 33 years and 4 months in active service as a member of our country’s most agile military force — the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from a second lieutenant to Major-General.
I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three city districts. We Marines operated on three continents.
(Butler, Speech: America’s Armed Forces ‘In Time of Peace’, 1933)

Indeed, what is an empire but a great band of bandits?

“Western nations are the nations of robbers, and their armies, bands of brigands. And not only brigands, but also slaves. For our armies are simply gangs of slaves at the disposal of one or two commanders or government ministers, who exercise a despotic control over them without any real responsibility, as we very well know. The peculiarity of a slave is that he is a mere tool in the hands of his master, a thing, not a man. That is just what soldiers, officers, and generals are, going to murder at the will of a ruler or rulers. Military slavery is an actual fact, and it is the worst form of slavery.”
(The Catholic priest Defourney, quoted by Leo Tolstoy in “The Kingdom of God is Within You”)
