No Matter What They Say, War Will Never End, And Your Loved Ones Will Go On Dying For No Reason

How many more of these fake remembrances will we have to live through? "We have always been at war with Eurasia." We live in a National Security State, in a permanent State of Emergency, in a never-ending war that serves only to enrich the few and impoverish the many. If we were a democracy, in a truly "free world," we would end this today. But we are a plutocracy, a bunch of peasants who are nothing but cannon-fodder and a source of more and more wealth to the already obscenely wealthy few sociopaths who rule over us mercilessly.

Every year for over one hundred years, people all over the world have been called upon to brutally slaughter their fellow human beings for absolutely no reason. The simple act of peaceful cooperation could have averted every war, just as it always has in our families and in our neighborhoods. But there is not enough power or money in that for our self-appointed leaders. By keeping us all living in fear of each other, we are easier to control. By carrying out an endless series of phony wars, the public treasury remains permanently open, and no check is too big to sign if it "guarantees our security and our freedom." But we will never be free or secure as long as we go on signing those checks.

Republican, Democrat, conservative, liberal, socialist, libertarian, communist, Fascist, monarchist, theocrat, it makes no difference. As long as we allow ourselves to be ruled by anyone, we will never be free or secure or at peace or prosperous. Our life's blood and our treasure will flow and these monsters who rule over us will benefit until we stop them. Let's try to remember that, every Memorial Day.

If we really wanted to honor our dead, we would never fight another war.

Tech Sgt Kobashigawa won the Medal of Honor for his actions in Italy in 1944 with the 100th, a Nisei Battalion. The Medal was not awarded until 2000, because Kobashigawa was a Japanese-American.
