Fighting the white man's war

Disclaimer:  The word White when used in this piece is a symbol of certain characteristics manifested in concrete political actions.  It is NOT solely skin color or race.  It is mental disposition.

            Tao Te ching:

                        “Know the White, but stay to the Black”

            We are in the midst of the cold war reborn. This newest age of warfare and savagery has the making of an era thought long gone.  Superpowers fight for influence in regions all across the globe, without directly engaging one another.  This is done by typically backing “insurgents”. Those insurgents or freedom fighters are really distant pawns, but kings in their own sector of earth, vying for a position to push their own agenda.  Throughout the latest spat of conflicts, Syria, Egypt, Libya, Snowden and Manning, etc…old themes are apparent.

            In Libya a long standing leader seeks to pave the way for a new era.  Overthrown, then assassinated the country dips into chaos, destabilizing the region further.  Please note that the plan Gadhafi was seeking to complete would have been a major step forward in dismantling the USA’s and her allies grip in the region. 

            In Egypt- Leadership counter to western ideals has found its way to a large segment of the population;   as a result, through democratic elections a “dangerous “faction comes into power.  Changes are made to the country that does not sit well with another section of the populace.  A coup follows and who benefits?  The Western superpowers stand to gain influence in the region when it is all said and done. 

            Edward Snowden- Former CIA and NSA turned whistle blower.  Deemed a traitor and fugitive by the USA, he leaked classified documents exposing illegal activities by the government and is now on the run.  The irony is the very actions committed that caused him to flee have been historically welcomed by the U.S. by foreign whistle blowers.  Bradley (now called Chelsea) Manning was an officer in the US armed forces.  He released many documents and videos including a gruesome video of helicopter pilots killing 1^st responders.  He is currently in prison after seeking to release the footage through the proper channels, you know, being a good solider and reporting war crimes committed by the USA”s military.  So we have one in prison and the other in exile for acting in the true spirit of patriotism. 

            Throughout it all superpowers carve up the world simply because they can. The USA arms and  funds this group; Russia leads support to another.  China follows the West and plunders Africa.  Chemical weapons used most likely by a government on the ropes, eerily similar to Iraq in the 90’s. Again and again the same cycle repeats.  Meanwhile most people just wish peace.  However depending on which propaganda you subscribe to, which worldview you endorse peace consists of US triumphing over THEM. 

            So where does this stem from?  Simple answer White mentality.  Common attributes: division, and a mentality of scarcity and of course the kicker---manifest destiny.    See we must understand that ones who are in control of the world’s infrastructure are a sick sort.  They descend from a people who lived in very harsh environments where resources were scarce and savage, selfish behavior was the key to survival.  Power, as we know corrupts and those who wield it are more likely to commit horrid acts to hold on to it.  Now imagine a people that were the last in everything. No culture, no science, no power, no nothing.  Then suddenly they are taught knowledge and acquire technology.  Maddens ensues.  Flash forward many generations to where a reality exists in which the descendants of those first White people have grabbed power.  Instead of a highly spiritual and technological world we live in a world of undue stress, war and intolerance.  So to my brothers and sisters I ask why we are fighting the White man’s war.

            White, as we know is a state of mind prone to moments of insanity.  Who are we fighting for if not for the future of our children?  Why are we so intolerant of each other’s cultures?  Why are so many of our youth so willing to pull the trigger to further the political aspirations of an obviously insane group of people?  We have to wise up.  In the end if we do not deal with the psychological game being pulled on ALL of us, well if you this century state of affairs are bad, and just wait until the 22^nd century.  Just remember this: While the ones of the Black mind were concerned primarily with improving relations between all things on Earth, the White mind saw this and understood not. Then they took the teachings of his brother and slew him.

            Peace.
