The Globalization of War. Prof Michel Chossudovsky

Major military and covert intelligence operations are being undertaken simultaneously in the Middle East, Eastern Europe, sub-Saharan Africa, Central Asia and the Far East. The US military agenda combines both major theater operations as well as covert actions geared towards destabilizing sovereign states.

The “Communist threat” of The Cold War era has been replaced by the worldwide threat of “Islamic terrorism”. Whereas Russia and China have become capitalist “free market” economies, a first strike pre-emptive nuclear attack is nonetheless contemplated.

Ironically, China and Russia are no longer considered to be “a threat to capitalism”. Quite the opposite. What is at stake is economic and financial rivalry between competing capitalist powers. The China-Russia alliance under the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) constitutes a “competing capitalist block” which undermines U.S. economic hegemony.

In Asia, the U.S. has contributed under its “Pivot to Asia” to encouraging its Asia-Pacific allies including Japan, Australia, South Korea, The Philippines and Vietnam to threaten and isolate China as part of a process of “military encirclement” of China, which gained impetus in the late 1990s.

Meanwhile, war propaganda has become increasingly pervasive. War is upheld as a peace-making operation.

When war becomes peace, the world is turned upside down. Conceptualization is no longer possible. An inquisitorial social system emerges. The consensus is to wage war. People can longer think for themselves. They accept the authority and wisdom of the established social order.

The Global war on Terror is based on Deceit. The war is a concoction that allows foreign intervention throughout the world and acts as a replacement for the Cold War. Geopolitical analyst Prof Chossudovsky pretty much nails it here in a fairly long clip indicating that western intelligence has been supporting extremists. We know this from whistleblowers like Sibel Edmonds, and mainstream news stories that mention support for 'Syrian opposition groups'. The Taliban did not attack the US on 911 if we are to believe the official story - it was Al Qaeda. The lies about Iraq's chemical weapons were delibrate. The uprising against Gaddafi in Libya was supported by the west from the beginning, as has happened in Syria. If you don't do any research ya gonna be fooled.
Geopolitics 101.

October 4 Demonstration: Stop the Bombing of Iraq - Don't Bomb Syria

• Download leaflet pdf • Facebook Event • Leafleting sessions in London
 • Why we shouldn't bomb Iraq pdf • Russell Brand: War - what is it good for?

Stop the Bombing of Iraq - Don't Attack Syria
Demonstrate Saturday 4 October: Assemble 1pm
Temple Place London WC2R 3BD
March to Downing Street     hashtag: #NoIraq3

Russell Brand, who will join us on Saturday, says: Bombing won't work - it is going to make matters worse. It will lead to ground troops going in. That will make matters worse. These kind of operations always make things worse. These are the real lessons from history.

Brian Eno supports the demonstration and says: Once again it feels like we're being frog-marched into an incomprehensible war, with the usual cocktail of paranoia, propaganda and party-politics. Our MPs are by and large too ill-informed to make a judgement, or too spineless to defy their party whips, so it’s once again down to the people to show some sense.

AL Kennedy supports the demonstration and says: We've already been fooled more than once by a drive into poorly planned, badly executed and bloody military operations designed to profit the few, destabilise other economies and distract a disgusted electorate from Westminster's failings. Every time we let them fool us again - shame on us.

Seumas Milne will also join us on Saturday.

Demonstrate against the insanity of a third Iraq war

Parliament has voted for the third Iraq War. The last two have brought almost unimaginable suffering to the people of Iraq and have helped to create the current chaos, driving the country to the brink of break up.

They claim this is a humanitarian operation to defeat Isis. In fact, Isis is backed by various middle east powers and a new aerial bombardment will not defeat it. It will however, kill innocents, further fragment the country and inflame violence.

The record of the west's wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya show that as well as creating misery and mayhem, western military interventions make the world a more volatile, dangerous place.
Cameron's new war has built-in mission creep. Discussions are already underway for Britain to join the bombing of Syria, and there are growing calls for boots on the ground.

The Stop the War Coalition is asking every one of its supporters to attend the demonstration against the insanity of another war on Iraq.
