Killing Civilians and the new Barbarism

Few anticipated, at the time, that the strategic MODEL employed by the US and NATO in the Balkans would be utilised in other regions to the same effect, ILLEGAL APPROPRIATIONS of RESOURCES and TERRITORIES via MILITARY FORCE and media disinformation! However, in stark contrast to US/NATO activities during the Balkan intervention, civilian casualties today have (drone)rocketed; it seems a new, consciously undertaken tactical turn for the worse has occurred in contemporary warfare!

[Would anyone really be surprised by devolution in the state of play in view of the degree to which NATO/America OPENLY FLOUTS the Geneva Convention, International Law and a range of other civilised conventions, which once ensured the relative peace of the world?]

I would remind everyone that the principal de-stabilisers of world peace and the leading killers of civilians in the world today are the US, NATO and a host of puppet allies -- Rudd’s Australia being chief among those!

Recently, clueless Kevin Rudd, under U.S. orders, drastically increased military armaments spending for his tiny nation; that action has already triggered an arms race in the region AND has placed every Australian capital city in the NUCLEAR target list of regional powers, bye-bye, racists! [The nation’s precious resources remain safe, stupid!] Spineless servility and shameless cowardice comes at an extremely high price these days, Australia!

As the thinking world is well aware, things are not going well for western terrorist states in Central/South ASIA! It seems everyone learnt from the Balkan experience. Targeting civilians and avoiding legal consequences has resulted in a free-for-all mentality -- the Iraq HOLOCAUST bears testimony to the fact!

Today’s conflicts have seen civilians emerge as the biggest losers -- and YOU imagined ‘it’ wouldn't affect you and yours!

Is anyone in the West able to predict the ‘type,’ or what form the next escalation will take in this extremely asymmetric/unequal world? Of course you can; that blinding flash and black rain is the next devolutionary/retaliatory phase -- America/NATO bear full responsibility for plunging the world into chaos! People fighting for their homelands fight to the bitter end, especially when it is CLEAR that EVERYONE is a target!

The experiment, targeting opponents with the knowledge of increased levels of civilian casualties, proved ‘successful’ in the U.S. supported, Sri Lankan anti-rebel 'campaign!' The world turned a blind eye to the suffering of thousands of civilians; International Courts remained dutifully silent, the UN made the usual timid protestations BUT NO ONE LIFTED A FINGER TO HELP THE INNOCENTS!

So it’s full – civilian killing -- speed ahead in the Swat valley and Afghanistan. Welcome to the new, star-spangled barbarism and the nightmare future of America's 'new world order!'

Now a note to the powers that pay handsomely for goods, services and information rendered – are you listening, Han and Yuri?

This is NOT WWII – what price did Stalin pay for NOT heeding the GOOD ADVICE of his agents in the field? He made the critical mistake of using reason in his attempts to predict the actions of an irrational, mass murdering, beast! TAKE NOTE, comrades and pay special attention to previous advice to DUMP THE DOLLAR – it is YOU who are financing America’s PAID FOR ‘successes’ by not dumping the dollar – you know it, you MUST FACE IT and ACT!

Every US military transport that takes off laden with PALETTES of freshly printed, shrink-wrapped greenbacks to bribe ASIAN warlords and local chieftains is assisted by YOU; especially your FEAR of losing some ‘wealth’ – is it preferable to lose the war (EVERYTHING) instead?

Sacrifices must be made; few MAJOR VICTORIES occurred without MAJOR SACRIFICES! For the last time, DUMP YOUR DOLLAR RESERVES, IMMEDIATELY; cut the life’s blood from the whore that is American war, forever!

America was losing its wars until it decided to PURCHASE its enemies! It has THE PRINTING RIGHTS over the WORLD’S DEFAULT CURRENCY, how convenient! YOU have AMASSED VALUE RIGHTS OVER THAT CURRENCY – IF YOU DO NOT USE THAT VALUE SOON YOU WILL LOSE IT, America is not totally stupid, comrades!

The other decisive SECONDARY option is well known to all parties; SERBS have established themselves in the highest (strategic) positions in every major western nation – they are lining up at the door ready to retaliate for KOSOVO – would you continue to stare them in the mouth?

This time, comrades, those who hesitate are LOST indeed!

Endnote:
Need I remind you that BRIC nations and their allies constitute 80% of the world’s population and control most of the planet’s resources – are you unable to harness that awesome (economic) power? CURRENCY is what YOU MAKE IT!
