Wars, Asset Stripping and The Real World War<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

<\/p>\n

With rumors of World War III and nuclear war abounding in the mainstream news, especially in the wake of the Nord Stream enquiry, this article explores the concept of wars, and looks at how asset stripping suggests that the real war lies elsewhere.  <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Most importantly it shares how you can play your part in bringing an end to the wars. It is hard to do justice to this topic in one article so as with all articles of this nature, please use it as a point of reference for your own further investigation and research.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Definitions<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

When you think of a war what is the first thing that comes to your mind, and how would you define a war? <\/span><\/span>A working definition might be that a war is something that happens between 2 countries or more. The Vietnam War, The Iraq War, and most recently Russia v Ukraine are examples of wars. <\/span><\/span>However in examining the roots of war I would like to suggest another angle from which to view it, which starts within an individual.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If you agree with the natural law of cause and effect, you would appreciate that all wars start as a thought within a person, and that the manifestation is an effect of that cause, as it takes shape and materializes, whether through an individual or a collective group of people buying into the idea.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In simple terms a war is the result of a lack of capacity to resolve conflicts in a peaceable way, such that they get displaced onto people, things and nations, causing harm and loss of life and\/or possessions.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Most if not all wars carry the themes of the control of money and possessions in their wake, whether it be in the name of religion or otherwise. <\/span><\/span>You may think that the government funds the wars, but it is ultimately borne by we the people through multiple taxation, and the misappropriation of that money by the government in so doing. Wars can come in many forms and sizes. Here are some examples.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Cold War<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

A Cold War is defined online as ‘a state of political hostility between countries characterized by threats, propaganda, and other measures short of open warfare.’<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Proxy War<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

According to the online oxford dictionary the definition of a war is one that is ‘instigated by a major power which does not itself become involved’ <\/span><\/span>In other words someone else is doing their bidding knowingly or unknowingly. The Russia Ukraine war has been posited as an example of a proxy war. Take a listen to this exposition by Aaron Mate<\/a> on the Russell Brand Show.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Guerilla Warfare<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

This is the description given to a less common war where a small group of people are up against a bigger group. It is usually revolutionary in nature against occupying forces or armies.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It is also highly tactical due to the difference in size of the two opposing factions. In fact Lao Tzu covered such tactics in his book The Art of War. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 “Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The above is one example of how, deception and propaganda are tactics used to defeat the enemy.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

War Re-examined<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

While it may seem that each government involved in war puts up the funding for their country, this idea has been challenged across history, with a different assertion, which carries the tones of the mix of a cold war, a proxy war scenario, and guerilla warfare throughout.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

9\/11 Revisited<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

You may be able to recall quite vividly your whereabouts on the day the events of 9\/11 hit the news. I know I did. Like many I watched the horror events unfold as they were reported on the news media, along with the swift verdict of a terrorist attack as the conclusion.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I went along with that at first because by all appearances it seemed that way. It was only as the dust settled on the event that certain disparities became evident that went beyond government incompetence. <\/span><\/span>Some of those disparities included:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
