The True Purpose of War

War is only ostensibly directed at governments and their armies, but essentially it is always aimed at the civilian population. If the civilian population were excluded from the conflict and the generals left to fight it out in an isolated field, they would have nothing to fight about, no reason to guard the field. The booty, the goal of all war, is the right to exploit ‘their own’ civilian population.

Corporations do not want human employees, but human-looking programmable androids. Anything approximating human reasoning is contracted out to specialist providers, to competent consultants whose thinking is tailored to the ideas prioritised by the corporate board. Deep thinking in the subordinate structure is unmanageable; they don’t want you to question the fundamentals of their being, or infer what they need to deny in order to profit. For that reason they condition they staff with KPIs, performance reviews, continuous “improvement” in how to think, how to act and how to speak. When you become that act, and nothing besides, you are said to be “professional”, which is to say, a reliable conduit of their inconsistencies.

This is the rational way to respond to the conflict in Israel-Palestine: https://humanitynothatred.com/

“Humanity Not Hatred is a campaign organised by the The Together Initiative, the legal identity of The Together Coalition, a secular organisation whose mission is to build kinder, closer and more connected communities by bringing people together and bridging divides.” Lovely, but…

The Steering Committee of the Together Initiative includes the Archbishop of Canterbury (Chair), a former Director-General of the BBC, PwC UK’s Executive Board Member responsible for Clients and Markets, a Former Chief of General Staff of British Army, the Managing Director of Google UK & Ireland, the Chief Executive of The Scouts, Vice President for Europe Middle East and Africa at Facebook, and many other champions of equity, inclusivity and diversity. https://together.org.uk/steering-group-2/ It is so nice that the same class of people who run everything else also run human unity projects, stand for peaceful deliberation and human equality, not just war, economic exploitation and vaccine mandates;) The only thing I am not sure about is whether they run every political model in order to profit from whichever model happens to prevail (just like "climate science"), or are we supposed to ‘voluntarily’ choose their model of Human Unity (under their management).

I am collecting quotes of Dalai Lama, the Pope, Christian Orthodox, Muslim and Jewish spiritual leaders condemning vaccine mandates for violating the right to life or for discriminating against the innate biological characteristics of the human race, or for any reason whatsoever.

I started writing a book, i suspect, on the progression from logic to ethics to power over the conditions of existence. It might not end up being a book but I had to start, otherwise it would never become anything. I wrote a book before, spent several years working on it, almost full time, surviving on minimum income, and then I changed my mind and scrapped it, after having an epiphany that the core premise was wrong. I salvaged some parts of it here and there, but it was primarily a learning experience, and an exercise of humility. So there is no guarantee that anything will come of it, but I will be putting more time aside for working on this project and consequently have less time to respond to comments here, but I will try.

The most compliant will be rewarded with more compliance.

For as long as humanity existed there were mass murderers and tyrants. When ‘righteous violence’ was used to defeat them it only made space for new mass murders and tyrants to take their place. After thousands of years of ‘righteous violence’, mass murderers and tyrants still rule, but many people think that ‘righteous violence’ is the solution to this problem.

“One cannot be both a tyrant and a counsellor.” Tolkien

Paleontological evidence suggests that reflexive consciousness (the idea of self and self-reflection) is only 60,000 years old. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1046/j.1468-5914.2003.00223.x

The latest report from the Grattan Institute is pushing mass vaccination, by misleading the public about the risks and benefits. Some people “trust their doctor”, which is a euphemism for “I trust the pharmaceutical cartel, the banking cartel, mass media, the government and the military”, and this option should certainly be recommended to them as an act of faith. For anyone else, not a single vaccine currently on the recommended schedule was tested for long term health outcomes via saline placebo randomised trials in a previously unvaccinated (with any vaccine) population. There is no such thing as a perfectly pure vaccine; all vaccines are contaminated by non-target antigens (animal and plant proteins from the manufacturing process). The effect of this contamination in injectable vaccines is immunity and/or acquired intolerance to these proteins. Many of the contaminants are within 2 amino acid difference from human proteins, which falls within the margin of cross-immunity and can therefore cause various autoimmune conditions. These are often not diagnosed but can be collectively debilitating. Every vaccine causes lifelong harm, on top of any temporary, protective effect. https://grattan.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/A-fair-shot-How-to-close-the-vaccination-gap-Grattan-Institute-Report.pdf

The issue of housing affordability in Australia is actually not about housing but about land. Houses cost what they cost to build, determined by the prices of labour and materials, but land values are not determined by any material factors or labour, but simply by the policies that encourage land-hoarding and speculation on the value of land. The alleged housing bubble is actually a land investment bubble.

There is a useful practical insight in the saying that ‘a tyrant cannot be trusted as a counsellor’. The government act like a tyrant whenever they have the upper hand, but as soon as the tables turn and they need your vote or your consent, they want to be your counsellor, they want to patronisingly assure you about the merits of some project or policy, how there is nothing to worry about and it is all for the better. At this point it is imperative not to regard them as a counsellor, but to persevere in your own judgement, based purely on the merits of the case to your interest. The key is to deliberate on equal footing, not allow them to become a counsellor, which automatically puts them in a privileged, morally superior position. Their very pretence to being a counsellor after being a tyrant is a slap in your face, an act of bad faith.

✊Interest rates are just too damn low!✊ I propose 100% p.a. official interest rate on all credit/mortgage debt. It is likely the easiest solution to the banking crisis. 100% official interest rate would compel people to borrow only saved funds from one another, either privately or via peer networks, at more reasonable rates of interests. Private lending, unlike bank “loans”, would involve a ‘perfect transfer of purchasing power’ from the lender to the borrower and thus not inflate the money supply. The banks would then have no choice but to follow suit and start practicing honest banking, lending only their capital. Money creation by means of “bank credit” is a licensed form of counterfeiting, expropriating wealth from the entire economy.
