Soldiers are on the streets
Remember, we human beings are the creator force and collectively we decide our fate. If wars we want, wars we will assuredly get.
Only we don’t really want wars do we? What is happening at a more profound (unseen) level is that we are being cajoled, by cunning means, into allowing wars to go on indefinitely.
Armed Forces Day is another propaganda mission seeking public consent for the continuation of wars.
“Two-thirds of the British public think not enough is being done to recognise the sacrifice of armed forces personnel killed in Iraq, a survey suggests.” So says a BBC article from March 7 last year. A meagre 2,082 were asked questions in that survey - and what questions were they actually asked I wonder?
Just two days later, another BBC article appears entitled ‘Calls grow for Armes Forces Day’. How quickly the ball rolls! “Senior military commanders, MPs and families of service personnel killed in war have lent their support to calls for an Armed Forces Day to be created.”
How many of those people knew the die was already cast?
By May 19 there was no stopping the BBC:
“An Armed Forces Day public holiday has been recommended by a government-backed study looking into improving public recognition of the military. The report by MP Quentin Davies also said more state school pupils should be encouraged to join cadet forces. The 40 recommendations included making it a criminal offence to discriminate against people in military uniform.”
Read the above carefully! It promotes a youth military movement and wants criticism of the military to be a crime.
Just to show how easily things can be made to happen, the first Armed Forces Day took place last Saturday, barely one year after the initial survey of those 2,082 people.
On the surface, this ‘commemorative’ event serves as a shot in the arm for Our Boys. It’s a chance for the public to line the streets and show their thanks for… for what? For the fact that people sacrifice themselves in wars with causes they know not the faintest about?
‘Congratulations! You have sacrificed yourself! I haven’t a clue why you have done that, although I suppose it’s for good old Blighty. Er, so well done.’
A latest BBC article says: “Tens of thousands of people across the UK have been marking the first ever Armed Forces Day by paying tribute to British servicemen and women. The government changed the name from Veterans Day to raise awareness and appreciation for those on active duty.”
Of course, wherever the prolongation of wars is on the agenda, you are sure to find the Queen. She attended an event in Edinburgh.
Meanwhile, the Queen has just put out a new pro-war medal called the Elizabeth Cross. (I bet she’s cross; she’s losing her power).
As the BBC implies, raising awareness lies at the heart of all this. But not in the way we are supposed to think. Armed Forces Day is, if you possess the alternative viewpoint, a brazen maneouvre. And it serves many purposes.
1. It makes wars look ‘right’.
2. It boosts the morale of those who take part in wars.
3. It makes uninformed members of the public (the masses) feel guilty that others are fighting wars on their behalf.
4. It encourages anti-war protesters out onto the streets. They are then outnumbered by uninformed members of the public who are ‘outraged’ by such a lack of ‘respect’.
5. It masks the horrors of wars.
6. It glorifies wars.
7. It diverts attention away from investigation into reasons for specific wars by generalising war itself as ‘active duty’.
8. It brings out a patriotic side in uninformed members of the public. How ironic, when you consider one of the aims of the manipulators is to continue breaking down national barriers.
9. It is a show of force, prolonging the myth that peace can be obtained through violence.
So clever!!
There is a number 10, and it’s the most important factor of all in my view.
Armed Forces Day ensures that the military is seen on the streets of Britain.
You can choose to follow the masses and get used to that sight. Or reject it out of hand. Up to you!
