MICHAEL WALSH – War is neither natural nor inevitable. But vast profits are an irresistible lure for an unscrupulous and influential minority not directly involved.

War profiteers in the military-industrial complex, politicians and press barons who invest in the war complex form a cartel to create conditions for war. In the meantime, a war psychosis in the population is created.

​Pro-government corporation-owned mainstream media hijacks and manipulates patriotic or survival instincts under the label ‘virtuous war’. Media silences or ridicule those opposed to war. Coercion such as conscription is applied to the indecisive.

Driven by profit and access to lucrative natural resources unnecessary wars scar nations for centuries.

They achieved nothing for the 98 per cent who in times of peace enjoy natural life expectancies whilst giving life not death to their national communities.

The only way the living can show the fallen their death were not in vain is by recognising what drives war and through education and pacifism replacing conflict with peaceful dialogue.

You Will Witness our Revolution

 ‘You control our world. You’ve poisoned the air we breathe, contaminated the water we drink, and copyrighted the food we eat. We fight in your wars, die for your causes, and sacrifice our freedoms to protect you.

You’ve liquidated our savings, destroyed our middle class, and used our tax dollars to bail out your unending greed. We are slaves to your corporations, zombies to your airwaves, servants to your decadence. You’ve stolen our elections, assassinated our leaders, and abolished our basic rights as human beings.

You own our property, shipped away our jobs, and shredded our unions. You’ve profited from disaster, destabilized our currencies, and raised our cost of living.

You’ve monopolized our freedom, stripped away our education, and have almost extinguished our flame. We are hit, we are bleeding, but we ain’t got time to bleed. We will bring the giants to their knees and you will witness our revolution!’
