A Just War
There are forces that orchestrate our involvement in war. They create the pretext, incense ego and emotion, rally the ignorant and unaware, and point the finger at whomever they blame for all their problems. It is all a charade, a deadly charade. Kill one person and it is called "murder," but when you kill hundreds of thousands or millions of innocent people, it is sanctified as the glory of war.
Many Americans do not see what is wrong with war, because they believe their leaders. This is a result of propaganda. Only those fighting on the ground, forced to kill innocent men, women, and children, truly see what is wrong with war. They often return traumatized, deeply troubled, and in many cases, unable to resolve the horrors they have seen and done. Their leaders are untroubled by ordering the killing of people, or by the maiming and death of their own soldiers. Families of dead American servicemen and women are denied the chance to welcome the caskets of their loved ones back on American soil, as the government prohibits any news coverage or publicly witnessed family grief over war.
It might hurt business — war is big business — or threaten public sentiment and uninformed consent.
Truth is one of the rarest things in this world. The times we are living in demonstrate great spiritual darkness, ignorance, deception, oppression, and corruption. In these times, the Light barely shines, and Darkness rules — generally unobserved or unknown. How is it possible that this goes unnoticed, in daily life? How could a person possibly be living in a world of deception, in an illusion, and not even know it? How could nearly everyone be doing the same?
Most people have the same illusions — the ones their society trains them to believe and obey — so, for most people, nothing seems to be out of the ordinary. The "consensus reality" is accepted as "normal," and the small minority who question things are seen as being troublesome, wrong, disruptive, or irrational. They are labeled disloyal by their leaders, who declare that if you are not with the president then you are against America. And people believe that. Put in a continual state of fear by phony, daily media propaganda and government "terror alerts," and fed continual lies, people will support, fund, or believe any deceitful agenda offered as some kind of solution or false "salvation." Of course, the big lie is that war is peace.
"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." — George Orwell
When it comes to war, who is really thinking at all, and who is telling the truth?
Wars are built upon lies
Lies about the fallacious "threat" of people who do not look the same, speak the same, or think the same. Lies about the supposed glories of conquest, and the rape of nations. Lies about the necessity of killing others — including innocent men, women, and children — before they can harm you. The fact is, everyday, ordinary people are happy to believe every lie, and go along with Evil. Why? They lack discernment, understanding, awareness, or conscience. For many people, what is wrong is all right with them, evil is good to them, and lies serve them better than truth. Adolph Hitler knew this. So do today's leaders. As Hitler said, the bigger the lie, the less people will question it. He was right. Hitler staged phony attacks on Germany by "evil foreigners" as a pretext for going to war against them. It worked. It worked in Nazi Germany and it works in America.
It must be obvious, in this world, darkness is not always somewhere out there, anywhere but here. Sometimes it is right here, where you live, in your nation, in your community, in your life. Darkness wages war upon all that is good, of Light, of God. And the first casualty of war is the Truth, always.
The solution is nothing as simple as believing your politicians (who never see a war they don't like. It's good for business, and it takes the minds of the people off of their own problems. Which the politicians never solve but only make a lot worse, no matter how much money they throw at problems (or put in their own pockets).
War to end war?
It's war without end. And if you see anything wrong with that, you are wrong for seeing it or saying it. Which brings us to the war on you. That is where, after all, the real war is fought: in the war for your mind. And, the question you need to ask yourself is: Who is winning the war for your mind?
"Just war" — it's almost as if war is so common, so accepted, that it's just war as usual
But there is a further meaning to the phrase: a "just war." That meaning was arrived at by St. Augustine and became official Church policy for many centuries. It has been used to bless most wars until today. According to the theory of a "just war" it is all right to go and slaughter innocent men, women, and children just as long as you feel you are right, or you feel "the enemy" is wrong, or you believe they might do something to you in the future. That is all sufficient justification for going out and killing innocent people, today, with "god" on your side. What do you think Jesus Christ would have to say about that?
Religions and their various sects have been used as fundamental staging grounds for killing and war, worldwide. It is easy for them — your religion, your religious leaders, and your official Church doctrine is always right. They tell you that, don't they? For ages, mankind has obeyed corrupt, controlling, untruthful, deceptive, abusive authority, imagining that the higher the authority claimed, the closer to "god" or "Good" it must be.
Your political leaders act in the same way, with their domineering, deceitful, corrupt authority. They claim to know what is right, to be right, and to do what is right, always. And, they tend to get the support of religious leaders for their wars, too. Your leaders, in their "supreme goodness and morality," always claim to be fighting "evil," and that makes it all "morally correct" and "right."
Do you accept, justify, or defend any wrong, any evil, as long as it is being done in your name, or God's name? Do you realize that everything you do not challenge — in your life, in your world — you accept? And everything you accept, you implicitly agree with? Your leaders count on it. As does Satan.
In the most personal or global issues, it matters what you think what you say, and what you do. You will find, the closer you come to God and Christ in you, the further you are from the world's agenda of oppression and domination. And, the more you reject what is wrong or evil or of darkness, the closer you come to the Light, the Truth, and the Way. Which is Christ.
