THE SEEDS OF WAR

Contrary to modern popular belief, the seeds of World War 2 were not planted in Berlin, Rome,
and Tokyo. They were disseminated initially in Paris, France in June of 1919. The Paris Peace
Treaty of Versailles was destined to become the first forewarning of the inevitability of an even
greater war that was to follow in twenty years. The six months of conceiving and articulating
the 440 Articles of the Treaty would eventually change the history of European politics,
economics, and society and serve as a prelude to the commencement of another war. The
ruthlessness of the unforgiving highly restrictive national, military, and financial repayment
terms of these Articles, became a virtual guarantee that Germany would have no other option
than to go to war once again, to protect its national sovereignty and independence from the
mandates of the Triple Entente powers of Britain, France and Russia. When England and France
declared war on September 3, 1939, Germany was ready, willing, and most able to once again
regain its economic freedom from the stringent terms of the Treaty of Versailles. In preparation
Germany had assembled what was to become the most multitalented, rigorously trained, and
highly devoted military force that the modern world had ever seen.
Italy remained neutral and worked vigorously and persistently in an attempt to find a solution,
or at least a compromise, that would eventually end in a peace agreement between the warring
nations. Italy saw this as the only way to ward off a prolonged and damaging war in Europe.
After seven months of fruitless efforts in this search for peace, and now knowing that a
diplomatic solution was not possible or even sought by the Allies, Rome decided that it also
would soon be a target of their military forces, and decided that its best and only solution was
to engage the nation in this ongoing war, in order to save the nation and its government from
the certainty of being invaded by Allied troops. On June 10, 1940 Italy ended its neutrality and
entered the war, united with the German Government.
This horrendous war that claimed 55 million lives and that destroyed much of the infrastructure
of global civilizations, was a product of the hallowed political and financial halls of England,
France, Russia, and the United States of America. In order that the real reasons for this war
would never be made known to the world, a perpetual propaganda crusade of words, images,
and voices would be required. A media arsenal of falsehoods, misrepresentations, untruths,
forgeries, lying, exaggerations, provocations, frauds, fabrications, deceits, shams, double
dealings, and hypocrisies, was duly fabricated and has been unabashedly promoted ever since
by these four Allied Nations. This unending campaign of treachery and deception has served
them well now for sixty years.
The United States and Britain decided to launch the two Persian Gulf Wars of February 1991,
and March, 2003, using an identical collection of falsehoods and political deceptions in order to
justify another unnecessary war. It succeeded in 1939 in Europe and worked again in the
Middle East. The formula is simple. It works every time.

WARS AND THEIR COSTS

War is an act of force by a state that is intended to compel a declared enemy to obey the will of
that society. The purpose is to bring into submission the opponent and to render the opponent
incapable of further resistance by destroying its capability and will to bear arms in defense of
its own sovereignty. War is a continuation of politics carried to the extremes of violent and
destructive means as an instrument of policy.
Some will say in wars inevitability “but there has always been wars as far back in history as the
Biblical ages of man, and the recorded history of nations, tribes and regions.” This universal
observation is obviously true and historically a matter of record. These wars have been initiated
and waged in the past for territorial and or sovereignty needs of certain nation states. Some
have been fought to recapture a kidnapped princess, but these are few and far between - brutal
foot-soldier wars were fought in fields, villages, towns, and cities, either in foreign lands, or as
wars of defense of ones own country. Kings, Emperors, and Empires were always the deciding
factors in whether a war would be fought because of long standing grievances or wars of
economic, social, and territory considerations. Each had its reasons.
But, since 1914 there have two major wars affecting the common people of the world, initiated
and fought, not for the reasons listed above, but for an entirely new and highly perilous
hypothesis - the economic, social, and political control of the nations of Europe, Asia, the
Middle East, and the Far East. This is a new and far more dangerous theatre of war-making.
With modern technologies at work, fewer soldiers are now needed, and much greater damage
can now be achieved in a day or two, with a series of well placed bombing attacks on the major
civilian centers of the nation being attacked from high overhead. Solders do die eventually, as
they enter these bombed out areas, but not in the numbers of civilians killed by these aerial
assaults upon a nation and its population.
World War I extinguished ten million lives of military men fighting, mainly in highly
dangerous and inhospitable trenches, burrowed into the battle fields of Europe, another twenty
million were wounded. World War II, 1939-1945, the second and much greater war than the
Great War of 1914-1918, claimed fifty-five million lives. Twenty million were civilian lives -
nearly fifty percent of the total of lives extinguished in a few terrible moments of time, in the
six short years of total worldwide warfare. These are the published statistics. They are mainly
an extrapolation of the actual numbers which are known only, in real terms, to the families of
those that lost loved ones, as a result of these two twentieth century wars. The utter savagery
and brutality of the second war consumed many bodies that will never be identified or counted -
some were vaporized as a result of America’s decision to use the Atomic bomb in Japan in
1945.
