This New Year, 2020, already has little relevance to 20/20 vision as it folds into the sinister arms of a possible war. There is a need in our politicians to assassinate their inner fear of losing power by moving our attentions to entering another conflict. Only those who have been upon our battlefields know bigger weapons and faster strikes fosters more creative enemies. Our enemies we force to learn to use propaganda, psychic warfare, and how to wield the many edged blades of terror by cutting our imaginations to run freely in our inner fields of fear. Kill one person the right way and you can frighten millions for a lifetime.

The populations of a country seldom want to go to war; it is their leadership that decides. In order to be a leader of any country today it is impossible to avoid corruption and compromise. Which means ethical and moral motivations for going to war get pushed into the corner.

It is the youth in our population that will be killed, while on distant hills stand generals and politicians who will dictate their sacrifices. Their most powerful weapon is the spinning wheel used for making patriotic rhetoric that preys upon the not fully formed psyches of our youth. Those youth if not killed will return with wounded souls torn when awakened to the fact that the patriotism spewed upon them quickly transformed into moral shrapnel. Suddenly, aware leaderships’ patriotic palaver was not a moral stance but an addiction to feeding capital into the war machine. Back home our soldiers are confronted with having to carry the deaths they made in the war all alone.

Every economist knows without war our economy falters. The bipartisan decisions needing to be made during peace have proved ineffective. Wars force national unity which is needed to face the enemy. Politicians use that unity to boost the free flow of capital into our defense system. Add to that spending, wars’ side effects and aftereffects stimulate capital to flow into military infrastructure at a much quicker rate than any decisions able to be made during peace such as health care. The military complex has a larger mouth to feed, than the health and welfare of all the American citizens combined. The wars in our culture such as drug deaths, poverty, health care, become more ignored as a niagara flow of capital flows into foreign lands to “Protect Us.”

Fear and capitalism go hand and hand, building the biggest fastest deadliest killing machine is not unlike making the most conspicuous swift autos. The side affect of soldiers who make up and use the killing machines is when they come home from war. They carry a lifetime’s worth of moral, emotional and physical issues to struggle alone with. The same capitalistic system dispenses its auto workers because of their employers’ priorities overstep their humanity. This leaves freedom exclusively in the hands of leadership. Vote, take back the morality that is your right
