War is Peace- How the Terror Threat Works

It's very simple really.
The balance of power isn't in any real danger. There is no Mutually Assured Destruction. One side has all the bombs.
You are being deceived and encouraged to fear the muslim under the bed.
Trust me, he isn't there.

So how does this work, and what purpose does it serve?



Basically, in 1929, something earth shattering happened.
That permanent exponential growth that Capitalism needs to carry on, hit a plateau.
There was no more room to grow.
There were no consumers to find. The whole world was a world of consumers.
No more fresh markets.

The system began to give.

The World of the Thirties was a world seeking a way out of that crisis.
And it a found a strange way.
This is summed up pretty admirably by Orwell in the 'book within a book'.
Basically, it is the ONLY way you can actually make Keynesianism work.
Yes, you CAN spend your way out of a recession.
But only by deliberate waste of produce and energy.
This is best acheived by a perpetual war economy.

But to prevent it being truly damaging, its best to keep it a phoney war.

I think Hitler would probably have been quite happy bullying small nations in Eastern Europe, rather than fighting real wars.
The same is probably true of Stalin.

But no one was very good at the phoney war game, it was quite new.
The Britsh aim was just to keep playing the two dictators against eachother, whilst strengthening their own government against the left and the right, by uniting the people through fear of the ogres abroad.

It went badly wrong with Nazi-Soviet Pact, which panicked the government into taking Hitler on, in a war caused by clumsy attempts at Machiavellian politics.

After six years of war, and fifty five million dead, they learned better next time.

Because, this war sentiment worked a treat for getting people to surrender their liberties, for fear of a nebulous foe.
If only we never really had to fight.



And so forty years we had the war that would never really have happened.
No one was ever that stupid, that they'd have pressed the button.

But the fear acheive what our masters wanted, on both sides of the curtain.
We knew as little of real life in Romania, as the Romanianans did of England.

I'm not saying life in the Soviet Union was Utopia. It wasn't.
The threat was real, in the sense, that they theoretically COULD have beaten the west somehow.
But it was never likely.
Mutually Assured Destruction.

But it sustained a failing system.
The West survived on a war footing.

And then the Berlin wall came down.

And a new world was born.
A world without armed camps.

But then people started wanting change.
Murmurs of an end to exploitation in Africa, equal treatment for all.

Before the Berlin Wall came down, it was understood that Apartheid was propped up, Israel supported, right or wrong, Ulster Loyalism justified, by its cold war setting.
We backed the 'good' guys.

But now that was gone.
The armed camps were needed.
The demon of blame was needed.
Just as Hitler needed the Jews.
And Kennedy needed Kruschev.

So a cynical game of join the dots is played.



Dot One. A fanatical terrorist group, consisting of a handful of nutters in a cave in Afghanistan successfully hi-jacks a plane and flies it into the Twin Towers.
Shocking carnage. Easier to portray it as far more organised and less the result of sloppy intelligence and pure luck on behalf of the bombers, than it really was.



Dot Two. There is a regime in a country that happens to be Muslim, which the US don't like. It also has the majority of the world's oil and holds everyone bar Russia, France and China to ransom.
(Don't think France or Russia voted on principle at the UN, either).
The dictator has a SECULAR SOCIALIST ideology (of sorts) and persecutes Islamic fundamentalists, but hey, Rupert Murdoch will help out.



Dot Three. Poverty causes social alienation. Of all the non white communities in the UK, Poverty is most felt amongst British Muslims. The Hindus who came from East Africa brought much wealth them. Most Muslims were imported to do the lowest paid work.
They have higher unemployment than the white population. Young socially alienated males tend to espouse militant, even violent causes which target opposing socially alienated males.
In the poor white community, these young males join the BNP.
the socially alienated young Muslim male, further alienated by his different culture, joins similar groups.
The same hate from the same causes, but different skin tones.

Three separate problems.
One common cause.

It's easy then to jump to the conclusion that all the worlds problems can be solved by eliminating Islam.
And the great thing about this foe is he isn't real, and has no nuclear weapons.
It truly is a phoney war.

But they'll have your liberties all the same.

And when they have killed every last Muslim, who will be next?
