Bill Habedank> Final Battle for Peace
When you go to our nation’s capital, you see statues all over the city commemorating warriors but you see very few of men and women who gave their lives to end wars. Our President, John F. Kennedy, said, “War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today”. He also said “I speak of peace, therefore, as the necessary rational end of rational men. I realize that the pursuit of peace is not as dramatic as the pursuit of war – – and frequently the words of the pursuer fall on deaf ears. But we have no more urgent

It is true that our youth are time again propagandized into believing (lied to), that it is their patriotic duty to go to war, to defend our liberty. However, we must see that even if the overwhelming majority of people in this country and around the world, are no longer fooled and are filled with love for one another, the wars will still continue.
Although wars are fought by those convinced they fight as their patriotic duty, they are arranged by the corporations,bureaucrats and generals, along with compliant politicians, using the same old sick lies, generation after generation, in order to gain control of and keep the world’s lands and resources.
To have as much control and power as they desire, they must stamp out any resistance to the priivate takeover of people’s lands and livelihoods – and in fact,stamp out millions upon millions, upon millions of people’s very ability to survive. There is no moral conscience or compass connected to the maw of the mighty imperialist corporate death machine.
The horror the world and it’s inhabitants have been and continue to face is so overwhelmingly evil and monstrously immoral, that few can grasp, let alone acknowledge to themselves how festooned with lies, corruption, torture, murder and environmental and human holocausts, the economic and political systems that control this planet from the USA to Russia, to Europe and Great Britain, to China and India really and truly are. All else is a mere facade.
All are steeped in this death spiral, while controlled by a few claiming authority for their own personal benefit, regardless of the lives of the majority of humans and other life forms on this blue planet. “They” will not be stopped by compassion nor reason. Perhaps, if humanity peacefully sat down together, and refused to serve the few, until the few decamped from power, the planet and future generations might have a life still worth living.
