Militarism and the human instinct for violence

[A comment posted to Military.com] 

Because this is Military dot com, where they don't believe in any truth that is not the US-Military-approved-truth, which of course is no truth at all....
The military -- any military -- is a top-down, control-obsessed, totalitarian, Orwellian, death cult. They try to dress themselves up as good guys, because they actually want to be good guys, but they can't alter the ancient truth: humans have an instinct for violence that they have never been able to contain, and some males who are both charismatic and over the top psychotic, can cast a spell over other almost-as-psychotic males -- especially when they're all hungry or pussy-deprived -- and the whole gang will go out on a rampage of killing and raping and pillaging.
This being the case, every orderly and peaceful community must needs have a group of stalwarts to defend against such "enemies", but sadly, those "stalwarts" are possessed of the same ferocious instincts as the enemy, and led by the community's own charismatic leader, eventually become the very danger they were created to defend against.
Humanity needs to solve the “problem” of militarism and the human instinct for violence. Sensible folks need to join together to eliminate militarism.

"Terrorism" and other manipulations

From The Next Big Future, which I believe is Brian Wang's website/blog (I'm new at this stuff) , I find a piece entitled Terrorism is a subset of Murder http://nextbigfuture.com/2011/03/terrorism-is-subset-of-murder.html (asserting, if I get it right, that Terrorism is illegitimate by virtue of being criminal). One commenter, Gigi, responded: As I have already tried to say before, I consider any use of the word “terrorism” more or less pointless. In fact, reading much of the western media about “terrorism” there is almost nowhere any clear definition of the word “terrorism”, for the simple reason that for any kind of such definition many of the military actions taken by the West against unarmed civilians in, say, Iraq or Vietnam may well fall in this definition. Is this an action of terrorism? http://boingboing.net/2010/04/... Simply put it, if Hamas kills one Israeli civilian it is terrorism, if the US or Israel directly kill 10 or more Palestinian it is

Ethics vs tribal criminality

Israel is a geopolitical crime-in-progress. No crime has a right to exist, no criminals in the commission of a crime have the right to self-defense. They have the right to surrender to a competent authority, have the "issue" adjudicated by a fair judicial authority, and if found guilty to be subject to a proportionate penalty, and after having served their time, permitted once again to participate in lawful society. The greatest existential threat to Israel,... is Israel. I'm an American and a Jew, just not a supporter Zionist or American criminality. You, on the other hand appear to be utterly untouched by any taint of ethics outside criminal tribalism. Sad. Small detail: the Saudi oil production facilities can be destroyed with conventional explosives. Nukes not necessary.

Trump is just the opening act

The United States invented al-Qaeda in Afghanistan. By overthrowing Saddam, the United States enabled al-Qaeda in Iraq. The regime change attempt by CIA-supported Al-Qaeda terrorists in Syria enabled the resurgence of al-Qaeda in Syria, which then morphed into ISIS. The CIA regime-change proxy war forced the re-positioning of the Syrian Army to defensible positions. That meant a withdrawal from Eastern Syria and redeployment for the defense of the Damascus population centers. That in turn created the power vacuum in Eastern Syria that enabled the creation of ISIS in Syria, the re-invasion of Iraq, and the creation of the ISIS Caliphate. The Neocon-subverted/Israel-subverted US remains the world's foremost "useful idiot" state sponsor of jihadi terrorism,... on behalf of Israel. So the entire shjtstorm in the Mideast is entirely the result of the United States Neocon-dominated, State Department-directed foreign policy, which, simply put, is the United States acting as
