WW I CENTENNIAL

© MMXVIII V.1.1.0
by Morley Evans

Humanity is firmly in Satan's grasp. Humankind may not survive. Mutual Assured Destruction is real. War is MAD. No one in the Illiad won the Trojan War. Some Greeks understood this in bronze-age prehistory. No one has ever learned the lesson since. 

The world-wide commemoration of World War I in 230181111 was a celebration of war and death. We march, wear medals and nice uniforms, cry crocodile tears, and solemnly honour the dead, "who gave their lives so we can be free." 

Really? Is that what it was about? No one dares to ask. No one wants to look into the abyss where the truth lies in a coma.

We continuously prepare for the next war. We itch for war. We love killing. The more we can kill the better. "Airmen" can now drop bombs on Arab Afghan wedding celebrations in Afghanistan — from a USAF base in Nevada. Afghans have no right to be happy. 

Happiness is our right, not theirs.

Face it: Humanity is Evil. We love evil. We deserve what we get, and one day we are going to get it good and hard. 

Remembrance Day celebrates Satanism. The vast military cemeteries with markers "row on row" mark the graves of brave young men whose lives were thrown away when they were sacrificed to our god, Satan. 

Every war is a Holocaust! The term holocaust comes from the Greek ὁλόκαυστος holókaustos: hólos, "whole" and kaustós, "burnt offering". 

Who do you think military chaplains serve? Who do they think they serve? 


In all of the wars in thousands of years of human history does any one group deserve the exclusive right to claim it suffered holocaust? 

One group that has unsurpassed chutzpah does make that claim. No one else matters to them. They think their suffering gives them a license to kill and steal. Human nature?


There is nothing noble or honourable here. The only heroes are the men and women who expose the truth and refuse to fight, accepting scorn and harm, including censure, torture, and death, from their own compatriots.

World War I Homage – 
A Triumph of Lies and Platitudes

By Finian Cunningham

November 12, 2018 "Information Clearing House" -   World leaders gathered in Paris on Sunday under the Arc de Triomphe to mark the centennial anniversary ending World War I. In an absurd way, the Napoleon-era arc was a fitting venue – because the ceremony and the rhetoric from President Emmanuel Macron was a “triumph” of lies and platitudes.

Among the estimated 70 international leaders were US President Trump and Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, each sitting on either side of Macron and his wife. German Chancellor Angela Merkel was also given pride of place beside the French president.

Macron’s address to the dignitaries was supposed to be a call for international multilateralism. He urged a “brotherhood” for the cause of world peace. He also made a pointed rebuke of “nationalism” as posing a danger to peace – a remark which seemed aimed at Donald Trump who recently boasted of his politics with that very word.

But, ironically, everything about the ceremony and Macron’s speech resonated with jingoistic French nationalism, not his avowed multinationalism. As the politicians sat under the Arc de Triomphe, Macron walked around its circular esplanade in a salute to assembled French military forces bearing assault rifles and bayonets. The French anthem – The Marseillaise – was played twice, once by an army brass band, the second time sung by an army choir. There was also a military plane flyover displaying the blue, red and white tricolor of the French national flag.

In his speech, Macron talked about soldiers coming from all over the world to “die for France” during the 1914-18 Great War. He even said at one point that the war was fought for “the vision of France” and its “universal values”.

This was fluent drivel, French-style. No wonder Russia’s Putin momentarily gave a look of boredom as Macron waxed lyrical.

The speechifying and commemoration was completely detached from current realities of conflict and international tensions.

Among the “brotherhood” whom Macron was appealing to were Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu whose military forces continue to bomb and slaughter Palestinian civilians in illegally occupied territory. Also present was Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko whose armed militias continue to terrorize the people of eastern Ukraine with the blatant objective of instigating a war between the US-led NATO alliance and Russia.

Listening to Macron one would think that World War I erupted mysteriously from no specific cause and that an estimated 10 million soldiers were all killed in heroic battles for noble principles.

There was, of course, no mention by Macron of imperialist warmongering and the barbaric sacrifice of humans as slaves in the service of national capitalist power interests.

Grotesquely, as the world leaders donned solemn faces and mouthed pious platitudes for peace, the whole occasion was a triumph in burying reality and the ongoing causes of wars, as well as whitewashing the very culprits responsible for wars. Among the war criminals wearing a mournful black suit was former French President Nicolas Sarkozy who launched the NATO blitzkrieg on Libya in 2011.

While the empty, self-indulgent rhetoric was ringing out, one couldn’t help but recall some of the most glaring contemporary contradictions that were blocked out with awesome Orwellian efficiency.

Just this week, reports emerged of the horrific civilian death toll from the American air force bombing the Syrian city of Raqqa. The city was razed to the ground by US air strikes last year – supposedly to defeat the ISIS terror group. Some 8,000 bodies of civilians, mainly women and children, have now been recovered by Syrian government forces. And that’s only from clearing away a tiny area of rubble for the whole city.

What the Americans did in Raqqa was a monumental war crime, all the more criminal because US forces, along with their NATO partners Britain and France, are illegally present in and assaulting sovereign Syrian territory.

As Macron was telling world leaders about “the vision of France”, hundreds were being killed in Yemen in a battle to strangle the entire population by taking the port city of Hodeida. The genocidal war on that country – which is putting up to 16 million people at risk from starvation – has been fully backed by France, the US and Britain, from their supply of warplanes and bombs to the Saudi and Emirati aggressive forces.

We could mention other specific conflicts where the culprits are clearly identified. For example, the multi-million-dollar support from Washington for the Azov Battalion and other Neo-Nazi militias in Ukraine, which openly emulate the genocidal conduct of Hitler’s Third Reich to exterminate ethnic Russians.
