THE "HUMANITARIAN" WARS OF THE WEST

The premise of humanitarian wars that western elites are so very fond of, is that the West occupies a superior position to all others & it alone has the self-awarded right of judge, jury & executioner.

And to be accountable to no one.

Humanitarian wars, so called, are near perfect for providing cover for much less noble intentions than the words convey. It is essential an integral part of the PR fig-leaf that terminally cynical western nations use to legitimize murder.

It is standard practice to psychologically package commodities now. In our modern age advertising no longer simply & innocently lists the qualities of a product in the hope you will buy. Now you must be persuaded it will enhance your life.

Western wars of choice are packaged for acceptability.

In recent decades it has become clear that emotions of concern are a prime target if you wish to sell your product.

Selling the emotional benefit of war has become VERY good for business.

Selling a war by appealing to human emotional reactions requires a clear enemy. As in the film industry where there are almost no films without its good character(s) & bad character(s). It is almost unthinkable to have a movie where ALL are bad.

Ascribing a humanitarian response to yourselves in regard to complex events in far distant countries requires you to communicate things in simplistic terms that clearly identify the “bad” person or people you want to attack as worthy of death.

WWII is ideal for modern western warmongers to use as a foundation to psychologically help mold public opinion. It provides a singularly bad man as an example of how '100% evil' can be a thing.

No nuance underpinning understanding is required.

Nuance & detail are the enemies of those wishing to perpetuate humanitarian wars. This was seen in the ignoble George W. Bush era. The 'you are with us or against us’ syndrome. Enemies of the time were 100% bad, made crystal clear through lies.

A believable lie is needed for each humanitarian war.

Evil Serbians. Iraqi WMD. Starving, oppressed Venezuelans. Interfering Russians, Spying, suppressive, market-manipulating Chinese. A strong emotional motivator is always needed to gain consent. 

And emotional buttons must be pushed. Pushed HARD... & OFTEN.

It was child’s play in the past to demonize those you wanted to destroy. An ancient example is The Crusades against the Arabs. To raise knights & soldiers across Europe horror stories were told of Christian babies being eaten. A believable lie.

The diversion & re-focusing of emotional responses, making people dance as puppets to the tune you desire, could be described as elites’ favorite game. They conceive those below as the irrational masses who require controlling.

The vast horde of people below the level of the elites are an inconvenience when it comes to getting what you want done. You must make your lies as believable (and as simple) as possible & you must keep repeating them until the tipping point.

Western elites pose as the ‘good’, the 'well-intentioned', political version of ‘The Lone Ranger’.

Never bad. Pure & good. Through & through.

By contrast all others 'over there' are less good, perhaps very bad... maybe evil, perhaps Russians?

The mechanism elites of the West use is as simple as it is cynical.

It allows mass murder to appear heaven-sent. It allows the creation of human misery to be assigned the status of a beneficial charity. It allows money to be made from slaughter.

The packaging of tearing limb from limb, of rendering 'some folks' into mincemeat via ultra-expensive missiles is becoming a little less easy than in the past.

The erstwhile sleepers are beginning to awake.

And talk... On Twitter & elsewhere.

The times when western elites called a war & didn't need to explain it are over. In those days you simply obeyed. These elites now need motivators to convince you to agree to the brutally violent things they do. They need good humanitarian lies.

Once western audiences have been suitably convinced that killing & destroying is in the best interest of people & nations far away the job of emotional conditioning continues. Additional buttons are required to maintain support.

The West has become supremely professional in the art of emotional conditioning. This has been seen most effectively in Syria. The use of children to initiate the ‘caring to promote killing’ response has been quite successful.

The creation of The White Helmets was a masterstroke in the emotional manipulation industry. A seemingly humanitarian organization which rescues children from evil-doers who want to kill them & who are on your side against your chosen enemy.

With the White Helmets as saintly warriors of humanity, wholly good as you yourselves are in the western elite, you have the perfect device for pulling the emotional puppet strings of the millions of still gullible headline-surfers of the West.

A shallow approach where detail is reduced to simplistic falsity is required to render the required heroic effect to The White Helmets construct. Western MSM entities such as @BBC & @CNN supply this endlessly. "Real heroes" from cynical fakes.

The White Helmets terrorist support group was not enough on its own. Some small child is required to pull further heartstrings. A young girl in danger pleading for help. Then you had to have some new Nazis bombing civilians, schools & hospitals.

How many 'last hospitals’ were there in Aleppo? It seemed every day there was another one. Even 2 or 3. And by the weekend possibly 10! Accompanied by tame activists & their sad refrains dutifully channeled to bleeding hearts by the the BBC & CNN.

Is it conceivable that there are any more cynical entities than those hard-bitten western elites assigned the task of making murder popular by means of pulling as hard as possible on western heartstrings? Possible. But extremely doubtful.

Western wars need to be sold. And a convincing cover story (or stories) need to be created. The masses need to be made to believe & to enter the blood-stained humanitarian bus with the manic enthusiasm of those wishing to 'do good’.

So it was (in the good old times) that heretics could be burnt at the state at the command of the church, that witches could be drowned or burnt, that those evil 'others’ over there could be massacred without a second thought.

You will know the saying, 'The road to ruin is paved with good intentions’. This needs an update as regards the West’s “humanitarian wars”. ‘The road to war is paved with humanitarian lies,’ perhaps? Or, 'The road to a perfect war is lined with grieving puppets’?

There is nothing humanitarian about war. There is however something inhuman in trying to convince others there is. As Tulsi Gabbard has often repeated to a terminally dismissive response, every “humanitarian” western war has left even more misery in its wake.

The elites of the West have not one humanitarian bone in their corpulent bodies. When you look at John Bolton, Mike Pompeo, Elliott Abrams. Marco Rubio or Donald J. Trump & try to conceive of them as humanitarians your brain cells curdle in revolt.

Humanitarian Wars of the West are a cynical construct to deliver mass murder, widespread destruction, human misery & the fragmentation of entire nations simply to deliver additional resources (such as oil), access to markets, power & influence to the West. Nothing more.
