People say "democracies never fight wars against one another". At this point we know this is untrue - only "democracies within the American Empire do not fight one another". The Americans and the European fatcats need their serfs to remain peaceful. After all, peaceful and cooperative serfs produce more stuff to be taxed on.
Going back to Libya. Today Mr. Jerzy Buzek, the President of the European Parliament, said that we all have a moral duty to defend the Libyans against whom Mr. Gaddafi has led out his armies. Now I am sure Mr. Buzek wouldn't be saying this if violent mobs started ransacking his area near Brussels and protesting against the Belgian government or the EU. Certainly at that point he would have said what Mr. Gaddafi is saying now - "These people are crazy! Bring out the guns!".
Such obvious hypocrisy as has been shown by Western governments over the last 50 years or so is no different from the double standard applied in colonial days of the 16th Century! I find this a shameful breach of not only bogus "state's rights", but clearly human rights and basic ethical principles such as the Golden Rule!

John T. Flynn once put it this way: "The enemy aggressor is always pursuing a course of larceny, murder, rapine and barbarism. We are always moving forward with high mission, a destiny imposed by the Deity to regenerate our victims while incidentally capturing their markets, to civilise savage and senile and paranoid peoples while blundering accidentally into their oil wells." Since he wrote this back in the 1940's the American imperialism has only increased in strength and brutality. As I wrote in previous posts, I find it difficult to desert the US and her glorious freedoms, but I watch these freedoms evaporating everyday. If one thought a woman in her 20's was beautiful, is he still bound to think the same when she is 60 years old?! I think not... I think America ought to think of a trip to the fountain of youth!
Many people do not like Gaddafi's rule, but the way in which the 'West' handles this, is at least shameful!!!
ReplyDeleteThe only way the West "handles" things now is by violence, bombing, and killing thousands of civilians... and then they wonder why people in Arab countries don't like us!
ReplyDeleteMateusz, seeing you raise the idea of conspiracy I reccomend you read this piece on conspiracy from Rothbard himself:

Good blog as always.
I do not think it is much of a conspiracy. It is more like a silent agreement. The Americans don't want to admit they are imperialists (their country was founded by defeating British Empire forces) and the Europeans don't want to admit they are colonies or suppliant states out of shame. Also, this arrangement is beneficial to leaders in both the rich and the poor American Empire countries. I will write another post on this soon!
