How to take a country to war.

**RobYork** · 11th-September-2011

“Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece.

Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany.

That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship.

Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked (9-11) and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.”

Hermann Goering, a Nazi leader next in rank to Hitler, stated in the Nuremberg trials.

Goering was a monster like the rest of them and I have no doubt he regarded the common man with contempt; indeed I think the evidence was that he regarded just about everyone and everything else with contempt, even the Nuremberg court where his evil finally came to a shuddering halt. But none of that stops his words from being true. It is the greed, ambition and ruthlessness of the powerful that causes wars, not the desire of ordinary men to start killing their brothers for no good reason.

Rob takes our voices in an anniversary which should always ask questions. It's painful, but we should continue to ask questions and not be shy, but not be bound by the very thing we seek to avoid.

A fellow human being that I hold in high regard continues to batter upon the bullshit that we are all subject to. A sterling and righteous statement. I couldn't put it better.

The official story of 9-11 is that a man in a cave in Afghanistan, armed only with a “Mobile phone” masterminded and carried out 9-11 – Do you actually believe such nonsense ?

As Joseph Goebbels stated.......
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.

The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie.

It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

Rob, don't become so ambitious in your pursuit that you leave behind clear thinking.

There will be a time that the establishment will crumble upon the will of the people, it is not now. We must bide our time and wait until the time is right.

Personally Rob I'd leave off the conspiracy for one day when American's are healing and don't want to hear inflammatory bollocks. Let it go for one day.
