Peace costs nothing….

Two questions arise that seem to determine peace or war, an end to the cycle or one more turn of the wheel of human suffering:
(1) How far do we wish to go?
(2) Under what conditions would we stop?
(1) People who want to control the world – or the better part of it – are usually shown to be willing to go much farther than those who oppose them, though in the beginning they seem to show concern for public opinion. Their concern either reins them in or encourages them to hide their doings.
The Night of the Long Knives, in which Hitler and his associates murdered their opponents and rivals, is an example of people going farther than anyone else in Germany at the time would even contemplate going.
Stalin murdered not only his opponents and rivals but millions of innocent others. He definitely went farther than anyone around him in Russia, perhaps before him and almost certainly after him.
In some wars, we see atrocity visited upon atrocity in a cycle of attack/revenge that never ends. The Middle East can seem to be this way.
How far do people wish to go?
(2) Under what conditions would we stop?
Peace costs nothing but war is very expensive. It takes somebody’s money to keep it running. Armies need pay, food, clothing, shoes, weapons, ammunition, transports, attack vehicles, gasoline, spare parts, on and on.
Therefore when everyone runs out of money, they run out of pay, food, clothing, etc. Their armies fall apart as Germany’s did in World War II. But the same is not the case with peace.
Peace is the default. Peace isn’t low-maintenance; it’s no-maintenance. It always is.
The people who profit from wars and want to see them kept running are willing to subsidize them.
Under what conditions would they – and their mercenaries – stop?
Again the same thing seems to be true, that they’re as concerned about public opinion as Adolf Hitler was before he cinched his hold on power. If public opinion calls for them to be investigated and arrested for crimes against humanity and war crimes, they know they’ll face justice.
Not only do war profiteers and and genocidal killers shrink from public opinion. Anyone doing anything underhanded does.
But if I were to say to you, let’s go after the war profiteers, no, that would simply be another turn of the wheel. And the wheel needs to stop with this generation.
No, George Bush. We will find out what you’ve done but we won’t string you up from the nearest lamp post, as you feared.
What we have to do now is withdraw our consent, as a world, from the behavior, not from the people.
It isn’t that I’m not sure we can accomplish that globally. It’s that I worry that we lack the will as a world to do it in the face of the work it may take. (1)
I don’t say this critically. I say it because I think right now the mass of the world is (rightfully) worried about and focused on survival.
But we can start with lightworkers, who know what’s happening and serve the Divine Plan. We can start with actually listing the things we decline to support or tolerate in our midst any more.
Sooner or later we’re going to have to mobilize world opinion. Michael tells me I keep looking for a savior. OK, if the white hats are not our saviors, if we really are, then, in my opinion, this is something we need to do:
People who are involved in pursuits which can only be described as evil or inhumane, who will cease and desist, are welcome back in the herd. But people who won’t stop are not welcome until they do. It’s a matter of behavior.
