The anti-war sentiment that inspired my ballad, When the Lights of Truth Go Out, applies to scores of nations across the world that have fallen victim to what Russian President Vladimir Putin described as The Vampires’ Ball.

All wars are business

Wrapped in the shroud of triumphalism, many vampires like Winston Churchill and US Secretary of State James L. Baker afterwards conceded that the war against the National Socialist Workers Reich had been a trade war.

The Sacking of Germany

‘The sacking of Germany after her unconditional surrender will go down in history as one of the most monstrous acts of modern times.  Its excess beggars description and its magnitude defy condemnation.’ – Ralph F. Keeling. Institute of American Economics.

Provoking war

Of course, the provocation of Poland to ignite a war against their German neighbor in the late 1930s is being repeated by the same warmongers provoking Ukraine to weaken Russia.

As A. J. P. Taylor, the renowned British historian, pointed out, Hitler’s Germany fought a defensive war.

Fast forward to 2022: The equally vilified Russian Federation, self-sufficient and bending under the weight of its wealth in natural resources, has no interest in expansion. But like Hitler’s Workers Reich (1933-1945) it is ripe for plunder.

Saving Private Capitalism

Wars have nothing to do with ideology, nor saving the world from fascism or any other ism. Wars are fought by bank-financed capitalism to maintain Western power hegemony.

They are fought for trade dominance and invariably end with plunder and rapine.

Henry Kissinger Sneers

‘Military men are just dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy.’  Henry Kissinger as quoted in Kiss the Boys Goodbye: How the United States Betrayed Its Own POW in Vietnam (1990) by Monika Jensen-Stevenson and William Stevenson.  The

US is responsible for 20 million war deaths

‘U.S. military forces were directly responsible for about 10 to 15 million deaths during the Korean and Vietnam Wars and the two Iraq Wars.

The United States was also responsible for 14 million deaths in Afghanistan, Angola, Democratic Republic of the Congo, East Timor, Guatemala, Indonesia, Pakistan and Sudan.

The United States most likely has been responsible since WWII for the deaths of between 20 and 30 million people in wars and conflicts scattered over the world.’ – James A. Lucas.

The Dance of Death

Today, in the crosshairs of the satanic hegemonic capitalism, Iran, China, the Middle and Near East, African and Latin American resources, Cuba, and Venezuelan oil. Wars are not meant to be won.

 When the Lights of Truth go Out.

This is, then, a summary of the sentiment that inspired the ballad “When the Lights of Truth go Out.”

I hope that through reading this summary and listening to When the Lights of Truth Go Out, you will become aware of the need to fight not wars but to take up arms against the makers of war.

Awareness

If you do, remember that the fight needs awareness. Only by sharing age-old truths can be create awareness.

Our aim is to live in peace with all the nations of the earth.

To relegate to the dustbin of history wars of conquest, plunder, rapine and dominance of the weak nations and peoples. Let us know what you think.
