SubTitle: The Benefits of War
This week’s column is aimed at the young people of the USA, and everywhere else in the West. As
usual, I want to challenge some very common thinking, which I believe is aimed at demoralising
young people.
Last week’s column, “News from the Israeli Front” caused a young American, Adam, to write to me
(very politely I might add), querying two statements. The one was that he was concerned about
“Israeli Oppression” of the Palestinians. The other statement was this: “It’s sad to me that
a man of your obvious intelligence and wisdom still believes that peace will come from war. No
matter how well justified you seem you will never get what you’re looking for through the scope
of a rifle. There are no perfect men, only perfect intentions. I may of course be mistaken, as I
am but a young American who has never been in combat. Nor do I wish to be. Good day to you,
sir.”
I do not want to focus so much on the so-called “Israeli oppression” of the Palestinians because
from my viewpoint this is really propaganda and hot air, coming from the enemies of the West,
just like we had in Africa. South Africa, you will remember, is the greatest “oppressor” of
modern times, and yet, when the so-called “oppression” went away, things carried on much like
before. Why? Because much of the so-called “oppression” is nothing more than nature taking its
course. I did write a previous article entitled “Why Black people struggle” and that discusses
at length why black people across the world live in poverty. Let me assure you that the main
reason why black people are poor, is because of their own shortcomings. You can see this
everywhere on the planet even in Liberia to which freed slaves from the USA returned, and
even in Ethiopia which never spent one day under colonial rule. Oppression is a Marxist propaganda
term, which is merely an excuse that is used to attack a Western country. You will never hear
the term being applied to Russia, China, Cuba, Libya or any of their other allies and friends.
Israel is under attack because Israel stands in the way of total communist domination of the
Middle East. Israel is the Western world’s sincerest ally in that region.
What bothers me is the type of thinking expressed by Adam, which has become an oft-repeated
mantra in the Western world. The basic thinking is that “All war is futile, and no peace
can come from War”.
In my view, this is nothing more than classic psychological warfare being applied to the youth
of the Western world and America in particular.
I understand where Adam is coming from. I grew up and went through the same phase. I had no
interest in military things. But with age, my attitude changed a lot. I saw, from practical
experience that war definitely was necessary and can be very beneficial under the right
circumstances.
Young people are concerned, firstly, with the morality of the issue. Nobody wants to be on the
side of evil. There is a tendency in all people to want to do good. So how can it be that
killing people can be good? Surely this is never the case?
One must view the issue of war from a distance in terms of the greater good of the world.
I want to tackle the issue from two different angles. Firstly I want to show, that good can come
from war. Secondly, I want to show that demoralising your enemy is a key element in war and has
been practised for a long time.
The media of modern times is dominated by leftist-thinking journalists who often were lectured
by closet Marxists in modern Western universities. These people have no real interest in genuine
history or in learning genuine lessons from it. Instead, they come with their pre-conceived,
shallow views regarding good and evil, and more often than not, they help and assist dictators,
or communists to come to power. They mostly preach a policy of appeasement towards evil rulers who
will then go on to do more evil. The journalists of modern times are very pathetic creatures.
These days, because of my involvement with politics I find myself coming into contact with
journalists and I will tell you that I am completely disgusted with what I am seeing. These people
are doing a very poor job indeed and in some cases, they serve the cause of evil very
deliberately. I had a recent incident where a South African journalist furiously attacked me
for things I wrote on Etherzone about Zimbabwe. Several weeks later, a friend of mine ended up
at a dinner party where this same journalist was present. My friend discovered, to her horror,
that most of the people at this dinner party were white South Africans who openly admitted to
being communists. They were clearly good friends with the journalist who was covering up and
downplaying much of what Mugabe was doing. I have never had much respect for journalists, but
I will tell you that in the last four months my opinion of them has been in free fall. It is no
wonder this world is in this mess because these people are fast asleep on the job. They have
facts up to their eyeballs but so little of their information reaches the broad public. Most of
them are cowards to boot. I have met a few who are determined to tell the truth, but I have seen
them being blocked by their editors and senior management who are in my opinion unprincipled
cowards. So my view is that the alternative media must continue onwards, and I hope to see the
day where the alternative media discredits and drowns out the mass media who spend their time
licking the boots of the enemies of the Western world.
Let us forget the rubbish, which journalists write about war and consider a few facts from the
annals of history ourselves.
Can good come from war? Yes, definitely. War got rid of Hitler did it not? You could not have
got rid of him any other way. War was the only way. And within a few years, Hitler and the
NAZIS were nothing more than a memory never to return. So that is a simple example of war
getting the job done.
It is worth remembering that virtually no country comes into existence peacefully. You would
be hard-pressed to find examples of countries coming into being without war. Look at the history
of the world anywhere, at any time, and realise that war has always been the main means by which
massive, not to mention quick, political change has been effected.
I find it hard to believe that Americans cannot see the benefits of war. Consider in your own
case, that you fought two wars against the British. Your forefathers got rid of the British so
that you could develop the way you wanted. Were it not for war, you would not have your
constitution nor the many other beneficial things, which came from it.
Even though you fought against the British, it clearly did not leave an eternal scar because
now the British are your most faithful ally (barring that lying cretin called Tony Blair of
course). So you Americans have definitely benefited from war in that sense.
War, in my view, is quite a natural phenomenon given our current spiritual and intellectual
development. It is quite natural, at this point in our evolution, for people to become
power-hungry and to resist change with force. Indeed, in history, it is very rare for people
to give up power without a fight. Then too, you have ambitious people in the world, and ambition
also leads to war. You have the Russians and the Chinese with world-wide ambitions, and that has
fuelled most of the wars we have had since WWII. War will always happen when you have two sides
who differ over an issue and neither wants to budget of their own free will.
The key issue, from a moral point of view, is reasonableness. Are your demands reasonable? The
problem with the leftist-media and all the world’s left-leaning people is that they always
cry “Peace, peace”. But their peace is a fake peace. Their “peace” is really your surrender.
They want to negotiate, not to reach a reasonable middle-ground, but in order to wear you out
so you give up everything to them. This is of course just surrender by another name. This is
the sort of thing everyone wants Israel to do. It is the thing we did here in South Africa.
I can assure you, it solves nothing. It leaves the real issues bubbling under the surface and
these WILL EXPLODE INTO WAR AT A LATER DATE!
The real issue lies in the hearts and minds of people. When reasonable people deal with unreasonable
people then it is up to the reasonable people to decide, at some point, enough is enough, we must
now use force. This is a complex decision, and each situation needs to be treated according to its
own merits. Is Saddam Hussein being unreasonable? Well, he is after all developing deadly weapons
with which to attack his neighbours in a region that affects the whole world. He has shown his
aggressive intent over many years. He has slaughtered the Kurds, attacked the Iranians and
invaded Kuwait. He has vowed to wipe Israel off the map. Clearly, this man is a problem.
Robert Mugabe is another similar problem. He will abuse his power in order to get
what he wants. But there are many others of the same kind, like Castro, Gaddaffi, etc.
It is this decision of when to use force, which is the key moral issue. Then, when one has decided
that indeed this situation warrants the use of force, then one must proceed with it. Of course
people will be killed and lives will be ruined, but you have to view it from a larger perspective.
For example, is it better to kill one man, or a group of men, so that the suffering of vast
numbers of people may be alleviated? I like to think in terms of “debits” and “credits”. You weigh
the good of the few against the good of the many. Do you care for the life of Yasser Arafat when
maybe a bullet through his head would get him out of the way and maybe you could negotiate with
someone more reasonable?
The problem with getting rid of powerful evil men is that they hide behind other people. So putting
a bullet through Mugabe’s head, or Saddam’s head is not that easy. They have people protecting
them. They have armies they can hide behind. So even when all you want is to get rid of one man,
or a group of men, you may find that you are inextricably drawn into conflict with all their
followers. Furthermore, even if they die, their
system might be evil and self-perpetuating and so someone will take their place. You will never
be able to negotiate them into surrender so eventually you are forced to enter into a wider
conflict. It is ugly, it is dreadful, but there often is no other way.
War is also an expression of deeper things in a society. You cannot win a war if your people
are cowards. You cannot win a war, if you are poor. You cannot win a war if your people are
stupid. You cannot win a modern war if you do not have a good economy to back it, or the
scientists and engineers to build the equipment. So in many ways, war is a reflection of the
survival of the fittest. It is a reflection of your society and its general ability to succeed.
So if you can destroy another and put in its place a copy of your successful society then maybe
you have done a lot of good.
War can get the job done really quickly too. Do you remember the decrepit Taliban? Well, they
are gone now aren’t they? War did what no amount of talking could do. War could, very quickly,
sweep away a lot of evil from this world.
To leave evil alone may be the greatest sin of all. Winston Churchill warned against Hitler
but nobody listened. Churchill once wrote of the terrible problems which arise when you put
off a war. He said you should fight while you are strong enough to win quickly and decisively.
If you do not, then in time, you will fight, and victory will be really difficult. If you still
do not fight you may find in the end, that you are fighting when defeat seems certain, and the
odds are heavily stacked against you. This is of course exactly what happened with Britain in
WWII. They left it until it was far too late and by then they needed the USA and they even had
to strike a deal with the devil, in the form of Stalin to help get rid of Hitler. By putting off
the war they made things much worse. As history shows, they got rid of Hitler, only to have
Stalin strengthened by the war. To this day, therefore, we are still paying the price for the
British reluctance to sort Hitler out when it was still easy.
Centuries ago, Machiavelli, wrote of the folly of putting off war. On page 20 of THE PRINCE,
he writes: “… one should never permit a disorder to persist in order to avoid a war, for
war is not avoided thereby but merely deferred to one’s own disadvantage.” That was written more
than 500 years ago, and it is as true today as ever. He could have been describing Gulf War I.
Leaving evil to persist in order to avoid more bloodshed. So now, more than 10 years later, the
USA must once more go back to finish a task which was not finished the first time around.
Machiavelli’s words are even more true in the case of Russia. For if Britain did a bad thing
by letting Hitler grow stronger then America did even worse by leaving Russia alone. There was
a time when, like Churchill noted, the USA had nuclear weapons and Russia had none. But now,
decades later, Russia has the most, and the USA is at a disadvantage. Time and again we see
evil growing.
If we Rhodesians had been assisted to destroy Mugabe when we wanted to then he would not exist
today murdering millions. Why is Fidel Castro allowed to live? Why is Cuba allowed to be a
permanent hell-hole? In all these cases, if the evil had been nipped in the bud then today those
countries might be completely different. Instead, Cubans flee into the USA because their homeland
is a hell-hole.
Time and again we see that the Western world did the truly dumb thing. The Western world left
Hitler and Russia alone and both grew to become problems. Hitler was destroyed because he started
the wars. But the West should also have blotted out communism. Instead, the Russians went on to
fuel wars in Asia, Africa and South America for decades after WWII. In each case, evil was left
alone and in each case, evil grew because nobody had the courage to go and nip it in the bud.
It does not matter to me whether Saddam is or is not the most evil man in the world. To me he is
one of dozens of scumbags who must be removed from power and wiped off the face of the earth if
need be.
Look at North Korea. There is another unfinished war. More than 50 years later we now have them
with nuclear weapons. They did not have nuclear weapons back then. But now they do. Now removing
them will be even more difficult than it was last time.
Vietnam was a good war that went wrong. Vietnam was the right thing to do – but, victory is not
always assured. But that is not reason enough to give up.
We are sitting today with the same problem the USA had with Vietnam, and that is why I am
writing this. Vietnam was lost not because the USA made a lot of military mistakes but because
Americans lost faith in themselves and they lost the will to win. Let me quote a small piece
from my book, Government by Deception. Colonel Lunev, the highest ranking
defector from the GRU (Russian Military intelligence), had this to say: “While the GRU
instructors would not state it directly, they strongly implied that the GRU was responsible for
the Vietnamese success Our instructors told us how the GRU influenced the American public. The
GRU and the KGB helped to fund just about every antiwar movement and organisation in America and
abroad. Funding was provided via undercover operatives or front organisations. These would fund
another group that in turn would fund student organisations. The GRU also helped Vietnam organise
its propaganda campaigns as a whole”.
He went on to say: “What will be a great surprise to the American people is that the GRU and
KGB had a larger budget for antiwar propaganda in the United States than it did for economic
and military support of the Vietnamese. The antiwar propaganda cost the GRU more than $1 billion,
but as history shows, it was a hugely successful campaign and well worth the cost. The antiwar
sentiment created an incredible momentum that greatly weakened the U.S. Military”.
I have read that Fidel Castro believes that the way to destroy America, without firing a bullet
is to demoralise the youth. Everywhere you look you will see people on the left trying to get
the young people of the Western world to lose faith in their countries and to turn away from
their patriotic duties.
This is Psychological warfare and people have been practising it for a long time. Take a look
around the world. In last week’s article I mentioned that it seemed to me as if the communists
are trying to get everyone to gang up against America if it attacks Iraq. Look in recent months
how many protests and “peace rallies” are being staged around the world. Look at Colonel Lunev’s
statements above and ask yourself if maybe the Russians are not funding much of these activities.
Organising a protest costs money and takes time. Where are these people getting the money from?
In Italy, a few months ago, 400,000 people took part in one such rally. Across the world we see
these things springing up. I am willing to bet that these “peace rallies” are staged events
and are being financed by Saddam’s friends and allies – especially his main sponsor the Russians.
Look at Bill Clinton and other communists who staged anti-war demonstrations just like this during
the Vietnam war. You are seeing history repeating itself. The young people of today must not
fall for all these fake arguments which are aimed at making them think they are on the side of
evil. This is just psychological warfare. It is an old trick – and it can work very well.
I have a book on psychological warfare in WWI and WWII written by someone who was involved in it.
And it describes how different countries went about trying to demoralise the other’s soldiers in
order to win easy victories. Here is the trick. Warfare does work. The other side believes in it,
but they want to fight without having you oppose them. Because if you do, then they might not win.
They believe in war, but they do not want YOU to believe in it – because if you do, you might stop
their evil machinations.
The most brilliant and effective psychological warfare campaigns ever conducted were carried out
in WWI. Most people would benefit from knowing this. Ludendorff, who was in charge of the German
war effort did not like fighting on two fronts. The Russians were not very strong and the Germans
were doing well against them. But with the USA entering the war, he wanted to end the war with
Russia quickly. He wanted to transfer the two million troops from the east to the West so that
he could win a decisive victory over Britain and France before the USA could change things.
So he conceived the idea of starting a revolution in Russia. The Germans hated communism, but
they saw that communism might cause the overthrow of the Tsar and bring the war to a quick end.
So the Germans began giving the Russian POW’s communist literature. Having infected them with
communism, the Germans then released the POW’s and let them return to Russia in the hope that
they would start fomenting revolution. In the end, the Germans also had to secretly take Lenin
via train from Switzerland into Russia. The Germans got the revolution they wanted and it knocked
Russia out of the war, but it was too late.
The Austrians in WWI used the same trick against the Italians. They also hated communism, but
they saw that it had a demoralising effect on the Italian troops. So the Austrians began releasing
POWs and also Pacficists and deliberately sending them to meet with the Italian troops. The
Austrian psychological warfare was effective and it played a role in a very disastrous battle
in which the Italians lost 300,000 men.
But the Americans carried out an even more brilliant psychological warfare strategy by harping
on nationalistic tendencies. They came up with the idea of promising the various nationalist
groups in the Austro-Hungarian Empire their own countries after the war. They also sent
agitators behind the Austrian lines to spread this nationalist message. They said things like
“Why are you fighting for the Austrians when you can have your own country?” In the end, they
so demoralised the troops of the Austro-Hunagrian empire that huge numbers defected. The
campaign was so successful that it broke up the entire empire.
You will often hear the media harping in the gap between the rich and the poor. That is of course
sheer communism. But even in WWII, the Germans did the same with the French troops on the Maginot
line. They used a French traitor to broadcast to the French people as if he were a free agent
when in fact he was working for the Germans. He harped on the differences between the rich and
the poor. He was very successful in harping on sore points among the French which caused dissent.
I believe that the youth of America and the Western world are under attack from those who want
them to feel there is nothing in the West worth defending. And the way the Mass Media go about
attacking the West while ignoring the greater crimes of Russia, China and their allies, goes a
very long way towards helping the communists. The Mass Media of the West is oftentimes, the
West’s worst enemy. It has a demoralising effect on young people, as do all these things which
make young people think there is nothing worth defending in the West.
My message is this: Would you like to have Fidel Castro, or Putin, or Saddam Hussein ruling your
country? Do you know what it is like to live in those hell-holes? Whatever your problems may be,
they are as nothing compared to the hell, which lies in wait for you if your country is ever
carved up by its enemies. Do not think this is a game, and your country is not worth defending.
You couldn’t be more wrong. The alternative is hell on earth. Do not let these pieces of leftist
trash convince you that there is nothing worth fighting and dying for. There is plenty in this
world to fight and die for and there are not enough principled or courageous people in this world
who stand up for the things they believe in.
There are far too few heroes in our world. There are far too few people with courage. There are
far too few with the guts to stand up against those stronger than them. Look at the Western world
and how people live and behave there. Compare that to the train-wrecks in the rest of the world
and then realise that there is much, which is worth defending to the hilt.
Do not spend time listening to the words of enemy agents, traitors and fools. These people are
there to rob you of your will to live and to rob you of your desire to do great things and to
achieve great things. Don’t listen to their rubbish arguments. Don’t listen to their lies and
their twisted interpretation of life according to Marx. These people are fools and devils and
they do not care for you or those you love. They couldn’t care less if your life was ruined.
Stick to your own country, and stick to your own people. Trust them before you would trust some
foreigner who comes at you trying to fill your mind with doubts.
There are too few heroes. But there is one I saw recently whom I really admire. His name is
Peter Tatchell. He is a British guy who hates Robert Mugabe. He protests against him whenever
he can. He even tried to do a citizen’s arrest on Mugabe in England once. I saw film footage
of it. He is a brave man to rush up to someone as powerful and as evil as Mugabe, only to be
attacked by his many bodyguards. But Peter Tatchell can at least stand tall. He can at least
say he did his bit against evil, over and above the call of duty.
The question you should ask yourself is whether you can say the same?
