I was going to write something but that about covers it.
How? Iam intrigued...you mean sacrifices to the god of War? Like people used to do in the past (Romans, for example)?
Glad to hear someone calling out the over-promoted, egomaniac Brooks.
This was my first thought too- OIL
I posted visual evidence of this practice in the Disaster Thesbians thread (post 42) it was of the Jihadi John beheading a hostage propaganda in Afghanistan. It was all done on green screen in a studio.
Thanks for your post even though iam not happy that you deleted it.Serveto said:
Nevertheless, the article was an excellent piece as well as your comment. What does that say about the American schoolroom if the Warzone perfectly suffices for geography class?So, they are chasing ghosts?
If that were true the whole Middle East would be wiped out.
That’s fake news, muslims do that on their own.
i think this is mostly from tsarions research, but in order for the elites to get what they want, they need to appease the demonic entity/ies (tsarion calls the beings summoned by john dee "the macrobes"). this requires feeding them pain, suffering, and grief. others might say the bloodletting itself is part of it, but i think thats merely symbolic.
Sorry. I only deleted my post because, if one doesn't read the link and understand the somewhat subtle point I was trying to make, I sounded quite possibly too glib about the many lives, military and civilian, lost in American wars. Even if I object to America's foreign policy, most of the time, I don't blame and neither will I harshly criticize the American soldiers who are ordered into the many so called (I loathe this euphemism) "theaters of operation." Dr. Bacevich, by the way, totally rocks and, as a paleoconservative with sterling military credentials, is uniquely placed to criticize American, largely neo-con driven imperialism and its partner, jingoism.Thanks for your post even though iam not happy that you deleted it.
Anyway, the author of the essay came across as familiar because afew weeks ago, i was watching something on this very subject and it was mentioned that he lost his son in Afghanistan (i think?). One of the interesting comments to the article;
"Bacevich is one of our very few strategic thinkers. What Bacevich has disclosed here is something far more significant than merely the faults of Brooks’ or of neoconservatism generally (and to be fair, where Brooks goes beyond neoconservatism/nationalism, he can be thoughtful).
What he has disclosed in fact is that America’s primary — I emphasize again, primary — strategic threat is not N. Korea, or radical Islam, or Russia, but its own revolutionary, messianic, expansionist ideology. That is the source of our woes, our growing insecurities and looming financial bankruptcy (to say nothing of the sufferings of millions of our victims).
America’s strategic problem is its own mental imprisonment: its self-worship, its inability to view itself — its destructive acts as well as its pet handful of ideas torn from the complex fabric of a truly vibrant culture — with any critical distance or objectivity.
Joined to that, and as a logical consequence of it — the United States’ persistent inability to view with any objectivity its endless, often manufactured enemies."
And what happens when the messiah cannot save "himself"? Who is tasked with his redemption or is it that nothing but death awaits "him"?
So, they are chasing ghosts?
Hillary Clinton: “We Created Al Qaeda”.
Eh? What happened in Benghazi? O that’s right she doesn’t say...easy for her to blame the US for al qaeda when she doesn’t take responsibility for her own stuff. What about the “bimbo’s” she silenced? The Clinton hit squad, she’s not talking about that stuff is she? Or how about the Clinton foundation? She should start off by answering to that stuff.
Syria another proxy war for the US to inch closer to Iran and control of the Strait of Hormuz.
