“To those who abuse: the sin is yours, the crime is yours, and the shame is yours. To those who protect the perpetrators: blaming the victims only masks the evil within, making you as guilty as those who abuse. Stand up for the innocent or go down with the rest”—Flora Jessop
Generally speaking, love is the common factor as of today:
What do the people of the world want? Love and peace. Waking up to serenity.
What do families want? Love and security.
What do women want? Love, recognition, and rights.
What do men want? Love and ability to provide for their families.
What do animals want? Love and care.
What does nature want? Love and compassion.
What do the people reject? Wars, terrorism, genocides, devastation, pollution, hatred, racism, intolerance—in short, all the bad things that can hurt or destroy us and our children.
What do leaders of the world want? Dictatorship in the name of democracy.
What do leaders of the ‘civilised’ world want? Turmoil, wars, and a general state of uncertainty.
What does the media want? Embedded journalism is happy to propagate the turmoil and fan disinformation as desired by control freaks of the ‘civilised’ countries; discourage independent journalists, ones who want to portray the truth that can raise awareness about these madmen’s insanity.
Not a single person who walks this earth wants to be killed, injured, or dishonoured and would definitely not desire that his/her loved one is forced to undergo the same, yet when one looks around, all that meets the eyes is nothing but gloom engineered by insecure dimwits who are constantly ‘threatened’ by the rapidly rising people’s consciousness and have ascended on power thrones carved out by their supporters. Their policies to eliminate any sense of justice or awareness are promoted by the likes of Edward Bernays who are experts in manipulating public opinion. Resultantly, people tend to believe whatever false information they are fed and have no remorse when aggression is used against unsuspecting countries or people.
The best example is the invasion of Iraq by joint international forces, on the fictitious pretext of harbouring weapons of mass destruction. If at all that was true, then the person in charge should have been taken to task. Why were innocent civilians butchered for someone else’s fault? Why was the country’s infrastructure destroyed beyond imagination in search of weapons that were never found?
If peace in the entire world has to be achieved in the twenty-first century, we need to eliminate two very important influencers—the military and the selfish media attached with sly masterminds
Why is Julian Assange, founder of Wikileaks threatened with being hunted down by a leading country for exposing the commission of its atrocities seconded by its military personnel who were forced to indulge in war crimes?
The way these world affairs are handled speaks tremendously about the deranged minds of decision-makers, so whether it is Ukraine or Palestine, there are innumerable instances of loss of precious human lives that had not participated in any terrorist activity, conspiracy, or scheming to overthrow anyone. The newsmen who have captured real-time footage of deliberately targeting these civilians or causing unprecedented rampage of peaceful villages in any part of the world, either lose their lives, are subjected to imprisonment, or are made to undergo torture at the hands of sadistic officials.
If peace in the entire world has to be achieved in the twenty-first century, we need to eliminate two very important influencers—the military and the selfish media attached with sly masterminds. Hand in hand throughout the last and present centuries, both have caused havoc that has resulted in the deaths of multitudes of people, and massive devastation of man-made structures and natural landscapes.
Today, it is no secret that cunning governments have consistently been unleashing a reign of terror with concocted stories attributed to developing and underdeveloped countries. Their lies and fabricated information picked up by self-serving media crooks propagating as ‘truth’ across gullible nations, have had extremely horrifying consequences.
It has been a year since John Pilger, Britain’s “giant of journalism” passed away but not without ripping off the masks from the faces of those who have laid barren this beautiful earth with their evil and guile. His dozens of documentaries and hundreds of articles spanning six decades have exposed the ruthlessness of power making him a brave and an unforgettable reporter of his generation. It takes courage to look into the eyes of powerful liars and ask them point-blank, questions that clearly are unsettling for them. From Pilger’s standpoint, he played his due part in disseminating truthfulness to bring peace to the slain innocent accused of ‘conniving’ against mighty empires.
When the young ones enroll themselves in the military, they are brainwashed to understand only hate and hostility. Love definitely cannot be indoctrinated because that would prevent them from using their weapons. These mercenaries learn only the art of killing which is why when moving over a battlefield with lifeless soldiers strewn across, they poke the dead with their bayonets to remove any iota of life. If compassion was their guide, the idea of slaughtering someone’s son, brother, husband, or father could never be possible. With this mindset, for these glorified uniformed soldiers, killing the ‘enemy’ even if it is an infant, becomes nothing more than just playing a video game.
Everyone should learn the art of protecting themselves, therefore educational institutions should compulsorily teach young men and women to take up arms and learn techniques of self-defence when faced with aggression. If all countries of the world adopt similar practices as that of Switzerland, wars would be history and militancy, a remote idea.
With more peace and lesser truculence, the media too would be compelled to focus on knowledge and scientific advancements rather than fool the public with false rhetoric or take undesirable sides either with the aggressor or the victims. Its positive approach might help in establishing heaven on earth, which is doable provided we, as a comity of nations manifest it and take concrete steps for this purpose.
