Speech on the DEXIT

axtlos (axtlos@tar.black)

“Let Europe arise!”, is what Winston Churchill said in a speech +delivered at the University of Zurich on the 19th September 1964. What +he envisioned was a European Union, or as he called it, the United +States of Europe. His vision gained a lot of support, so much support +that we now actually have a European Union.

+Except that nowadays I look at this European Union, which was created +with the motivation of uniting Europe and creating peace in Europe, and +ask myself one thing. Where has the support, the union, the motivation +gone? Why is the European Union, which was meant to be a democratic +Union of Europe now falling apart? I can tell you why, the European +Union is not what it used to be. The European Union is not the great +Union that it used to be, sure there are some nice regulations here and +there, but the majority of European actions have just been idiotic. +Which completely warrant the Brexit and now the potential Dexit, the +European Union simply is not what it used to be.

+How dare you call yourself Democratic, when you actively allow countries +to completely bypass the Democracy, do you consider it Democratic to +allow the french and dutch to veto a European Constitution without any +consequences? I certainly do not. To me the European Unions seems like a +mega corporation which only follows the lead of the countries that give +it the most money.

+Does anyone here happen know who that country currently is? It is +Germany. Does anyone here know what would happen to the European Union +if Germany would leave? The European Union would crumble. It would turn +into a joke, a joke with no funding.

+No one would benefit from Germany leaving the European Union, which is +exactly why I would not mind if Germany were to leave. If all powerful +countries have to leave the European Union to cause the European Union +to change, then so be it. This is what you get for piggybacking off of +Germany and turning a blind eye on Greece going into massive debt with +Germany. You get a nice f-you from the powerful countries who are sick +of your hypocrisy.

+But of course, no one here cares, because it gives you what you actually +strive for. Money. This is the system we live in, a system where having +money is rewarded and not having money will cause you to be completely +Ignored. I cannot blame anyone for trying to make Money. But what I can +blame you for and what I will blame you for is the fact that no one +tries to replace this broken system with a system that actually works, +one that does not only benefit the powerful. A system which properly +helps the poor without putting them into massive debt. But of course no +one here will do this, because the lobbyist tell you not to. The fact +that you people allow corruption like this on a continental level is +absolutely despicable. I am deeply disappointed with everything you have +done. I used to be a fan of the European Union and admired everyone who +is sitting here. But now I am just disgusted by the corruption, +discrimination and violations of Human Rights you people do on the +daily. And of course none of this will change, since "boo hoo change +scary"

+Additionally, the European Union fails to listen to any young voices, I +am quite honestly surprised that I am able to talk to you in this moment +and that the majority is somewhat listening to what I have to say. Does +anyone here remember article 13? The robo copyright regulation that +would stop any form of fair use? Has anyone here seen the mass outrage +young people had online? I’m guessing you have not, since all I see here +is a group of old timers who accidentally leak confidential emails and +fall for the most obvious phishing attacks known to man. Has anyone here +ever actually listened to a young persons opinion? I would not be +surprised if some people here had their last interaction with young +people on Epstein Island. You are the ones who complain about the newer +generations not being politically motivated, yet you also make no effort +to listen to politically engaged teenagers. Why is that? Are their ideas +too radical to you? Do they not know enough about politics to be able to +make proper decisions on specific topics? I would argue that politically +engaged teenagers know more about politics than some of you, mainly +because they cannot buy their position in politics.

+Now to be completely fair, the European Union does not only consist of +bad things, you people sometimes do things which I and many others, +genuinely appreciate. Enforcing proper worker rights across every +European Country, allowing anyone who is European to travel to any +country in the European Union. Allowing tax free trade for any good. +Showing Corporations the middle finger with their monopolistic and +anti-consumer strategies. We genuinely appreciate that. Except then you +add regulations that would make open source programs impossible to +maintain and also cause mass surveillance, is it really that hard to not +fall for the default "it will stop child predators" mass surveillance +reasoning? I feel like we have been through this multiple times. In the +end the politicians who wrote those regulations turn out to be child +predators themselves and were only trying to distract from the actual +issue.

+I really want to like the European Union, it is a great concept and it +has the potential of becoming so much better. But all I see nowadays is +a concept that everyone is starting to loose interest in. The European +Union in its current state will not change for the better anymore. So if +it takes the dissolution of the European Union for us to get a true +United States of Europe, which does not consist of separate countries +but is one big state with one unified language and one unified law, then +I am fully on board. But realistically, even with the most powerful EU +members leaving and creating their own partnerships, this will not +happen. We are stuck with the current European Union, so let us improve +this Union the best we can, completely rework the process of introducing +regulations to a process that features actual proper Democracy, let us +not favor the will of powerful money givers of the poorer countries, let +us accept refugees and give them a new home where they do not fear +missiles hitting their home or soldiers committing war crimes, let us +not spy on Europeans and put journalists at risk of being arrested for +spreading the truth, let us listen to what the young generation has to +say. Let Europe arise again!

Why America is involved in every major war

Introduction

+
“War against a foreign country only happens when the moneyed classes +think they are going to profit from it.”
+― George Orwell
+

The purpose of this Term +Paper

At the time of writing this, war is starting to become a more +important topic again, with the invasion of Ukraine in 2022 , increasing +complications between China and Taiwan , as well as the US withdrawal from +Afghanistan and the following takeover from the Taliban .

In the western world, people usually take a side with the US or other +western countries and see them as the "good guys", however people often +fail to see the background of wars and completely ignore the fact that +wars are not for the "Liberation of a country" , but for the profit of +those, who win the war. Which, due to the NATO mainly consisting of +Western countries and being the strongest Military force, is +guaranteed to be them . With this Term paper I want +to show that there are no "good guys" in a war, only "better guys" at +best.

The reason I chose the United States for this is simple, they are the +strongest force in the NATO , which results in +them having the most influence in NATO decisions. If I want to show the +reasons for wars, then America will be the best example since other NATO +countries follow America in a lot of military decisions.

But it should also be noted that America is not the only country +guilty of starting wars because of money, every war is in some way +caused by money, no matter if the war was started by America, Russia, +China or any other country. Every war is a crime on humanity and an +example as to why Capitalism is a horrible economic structure.

List of wars America was +involved with

Since the second World War, America has been involved in four War +operations . The Korean war, Vietnam war, +Operation Desert Storm, which is also known as the Gulf War , and the Global +War on Terror .

In these four wars the US committed a bunch of war crimes, the +most common one being massacres of unarmed civilians. The +US made no efforts in cooperating with human rights organizations or the +International Criminal Court, effectively commending any war crimes US +soldiers committed .

Vietnam War

The Vietnam War is most likely one of the most well-known wars +America was involved with. The origins of this war date back to the end +of the second world war in 1945, where Japan withdrew its soldiers from +Vietnam, which then was split up into the Democratic Republic of +Vietnam, under control of Ho Chi Minh, who strove to create a country +following Chinese and Soviet Communism and the state of Vietnam under +control of the French emperor Bao Dai, who wanted a Vietnam which had +close cultural and economic ties to the West .

Both sides of Vietnam had signed a treaty in the year 1945 during the +Geneva Convention, which split Vietnam along the 17 degrees North +Latitude, also known as 17th Parallel and set Minh in control of the +North and Dai in control of the South.
+This lasted until 1955, where Ngo Dinh Diem, a "strongly anti communist +politician" , became President of the +Southern part of Vietnam. Due to the cold war and the US hardening +policies against any Communist states, the currently acting US President +Eisenhower pledged "firm support to Diem and South Vietnam" .

With the formation of the National Liberation Front in 1960, which +was meant to be a resistance against Diem at the request of a US report +team, John F. Kennedy started increasing US Military Aid in South +Vietnam based on the Domino Theory , which assumed that once a +country falls to communism, many other countries would follow, like a +chain of dominoes .

The situation escalated in 1965 when Lyndon B. Johnson sent US Combat +Troops to Vietnam.

The Global War on Terror

The Global War on Terror began after the Terrorist attack on the +World Trade Center on the 11th September 2001, George W. Bush, who was +the acting President at this time, announced that the US was creating a +plan to locate and stop Terrorists all around the world . In connection to +these announcements the US first started a war in 2001 with Afghanistan +and then in 2003 in Iraq , these wars are part of the Global +War on Terror, however the Global War on Terror also describes +non-violent actions taken against the financing of Terrorist groups. The +invasion of Iraq began on the 20th March 2003 with US air strikes, the invasion was +justified with the Global War on Terror and Iraq’s ownership of nuclear, +biological and chemical weapons. . The first stage of the war +ended a month after the first air strikes with the downfall of Saddam +Hussein’s regime on the 1st May 2003 .

The war however continues with the hunt for Saddam Hussein, who was +captured on the 14th December 2003 and executed 3 years later on the +30th December 2006 . During this time the battle in Iraq +continues after Shiites won the 2005 election . Even though the war went on until +2011, the Bush Administration admitted on the 24th January 2004 that no +biological, chemical or nuclear weapons were found in Iraq, as the +former US weapons inspector David Kay told the congress: "we were almost +all wrong" .

This then begs the question, if it was already known that Iraq had no +weapons of mass destruction in 2004, why did the US continue the war +until 2011, what are the real reasons for the war?

The +real reasons for the wars and how America hides them

As shown in the first paragraph, the US is not always fully honest +about their reasons for invading a country or starting wars. So in this +paragraph I am going to show the multiple reasons America, and other +countries, go to war or start Invasions.

(Big-) Oil

Big Oil is a term that describes the biggest Oil Companies under +public ownership, these include BP plc, Royal Dutch Shell plc, Exxon +Mobile Corporation, Chevron Corporation, ENI SpA and Total SA . Due +to these companies being Government controlled, the Government will set +regulations or even start Wars, just to benefit their Oil Companies.

The Wars which are started for the acquirement of Oil are usually +called "resource wars" , these however are not +the only wars started due to oil. There is the petro-aggression, which +is not a war directly started because of oil, but due to the domestic +isolation which oil can cause, making a country more likely to try out +potentially controversial foreign policies . Another type is the +financing of other groups with profits made from oil, like Iran +financing the Hezbollah through oil profits and wars started +over oil market domination, as seen in the US war with Iraq over +Kuwait .

However, the existence of oil wars are a very controversial, there +are people who claim that oil has no cause in wars, while others claim +that oil is a very important factor in wars. Often these discussions are +made on the example of the wars in Kuwait, to which the US Secretary of +Defense Donald Rumsfeld stated that it’s "nonsense to suggest that the +US invasion of Iraq involved oil in any way" . Even among political +Scientists oil, or even energy in general, is rarely mentioned, the few +scientists who do focus on the involvement of oil in wars also disagree +about the importance of oil, one group argues that resource wars play a +major role in wars, while the other group rejects this claim due to the +lack of systematic evidence . The main issue with these +discussions is that people often fail to check the influence of oil in +the country before the war started, as oil may not be the direct cause +of the war, but start a chain reaction of other events which eventually +lead to a war. It is also noteworthy that oil is a very important +resource and simply cannot be ignored when analyzing international +security. This can also be seen in the aforementioned discussions about +the involvement of oil in the Iraq wars, as scientists argue about +involvement of oil in the war, rather than the preconditions caused by +oil .

Resource Wars

A major example of resource wars is the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in +1990 and the following US Military operation Desert Shield, in which +Iraq successfully annexed Kuwait and gained control of 20 percent of oil +reserves . This is more proof that oil is +not always the cause of a war, but rather a precondition of war.

Although the goals of Oil Resource Wars are not always only the +ownership of more oil, but also the gain of more Control over the +Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, also known as OPEC, +which would allow a country to have more control over the worldwide oil +price, and as a result of this power also cut countries out of oil +trade.

Oil Market Domination

Wars about Oil Market Domination are similar to Resource Wars, +however they differ in one main point, the wars aren’t for personal gain +of oil, but rather to make sure that the opposing force has less oil +Power . +The US fears that countries with a big oil power could artificially +raise the Oil price, which OPEC would have to follow with, allowing the +country to enrich itself on oil profits.

Oil Market Domination wars are often a cause of Resource wars, a good +example is the US operation Desert Shield, which itself started due to a +fear of Oil Market Domination from Iraq, but was caused by the Iraqi +invasion of Kuwait, which, as already mentioned, was a Resource War.

Communism

Communism as a cause of war is an interesting topic, the US did not +start any wars against communism ever since the cold war, yet Communism +and Socialism are still an important topic in modern foreign policies +and even internal policies, with the rise of Communism and Socialism +among Millenials and Gen-Z , it becomes a more +broadly discussed topic in politics, with the majority of politicians +not being very happy, as they are a prime target of Communist and +Anarchist movements.

As a reaction to this, the US tries to silence any Communist +politicians or countries, be it through direct wars, secret CIA +operations or the influence of media to spread false information . +Secret CIA operations include assassinations of Communist leaders, like +the Cuban Prime Minister Fidel Castro, who survived over 600 murder +attempts from the CIA and ended up dying naturally at the age of 90 in +Havana on the 25th November 2016 .

The war against communism however is not always violent. During the +cold war and the Red Scare, the US also made a huge effort to keep +people away from Communistic believes through state propaganda. This +propaganda was usually spread through movies, literature, music, +television and art. It would usually mock the soviet union and communism +through misinformation. The US Government however did not display it as +propaganda and insisted that everything shown was factually correct. An example of this propaganda can be seen in the +attachments.

Power in other countries

Most wars which involve gaining power in other countries are not +military wars, but economic wars. The US in this case often sets +embargoes on countries that do not follow them in their decisions, like +with Cuba, Venezuela or a lot of countries in the Middle East .

Cuba

The US embargo against Cuba started with the Cuban Revolution in +which Fidel Castro took over the Cuban Government, even though the +currently acting US President Dwight D. Eisenhower officially recognized +the new Cuban Government as legitimate, relations rapidly started to +deteriorate after Fidel Castro began nationalizing more companies and +started the agrarian reforms, in which the Government broke up large +landholding and redistributed them to the people who work on that land +and the state. With each state take-over of privately owned land the US +embargo rose in strength, up to the point where any trade with Cuba was +prohibited for US Companies. This embargo also got extended to the point +where the US threatened any non-US based company with sanctions if they +were doing trade with Cuba . The US opposition to the +Cuban government under Fidel Castro even went as far as the CIA +attempting to assassinate Fidel Castro over 600 times .

Israel

Israel is a very controversial topic in international politics, which +also makes it a prime reason for wars. The controversy stems from the +fact that Israel lies on land stolen from the Palestinian +population . During the +second world war, Palestine was controlled by the British, due to the +holocaust in Europe a lot of Jewish people immigrated into Palestine, +under supervision by the British. They formed their own villages, also +called kibbutzim, and were not interested in forming any Jewish State. +After the British retreated from Palestine, Zionist groups started +attacking Palestinians with the goal of starting a Jewish State. The UN +tried to settle these attacks with the 1947 Partition Plan, which would +split Palestine into two parts and assign one half to the Zionists. +Palestine openly expressed their dissatisfaction this plan as it would +illegally steal part of their country, while the Zionists seemingly +agreed with it . After the +Partition Plan was completed and Palestine was split into Palestine and +Israel, Zionists started attacking the Palestinian land and claimed it +for themselves, causing Palestinians to flee into other Arabic countries +like Jordan or Lebanon . Even though +Palestine is an occupied territory, Israel continues to send their +population into these territories and apply Israeli law, which directly +violates the fourth Geneva Convention. Despite this, countries still +acknowledged the new Israeli territory as a legitimate part of +Israel .

With Israel being a country with western ties in the middle east, the +US had an interest in forming good ties with Israel in order to have a +proxy in the middle east. This has been the case with the Iran-Israeli +Proxy conflict, in which Iran threatened to dissolve Israel and give the +land back to the Palestinian people. And now is a proxy war involving +Syria, Lebanon, Russia, the United States, the United kingdom and Saudi +Arabia .

Conclusion

What to take from this Term +Paper

In the end, what to take from this Term Paper is up to the Reader, +however I hope that this Term Paper cleared up that there are no good +reasons for War. Even if countries tell us that their War is for the +"removal of Nazis" or for the "liberation" of a country, it is never the +truth. Every War always boils down to the gain of power or money, +although nowadays these things are the same.

The war for Oil results in a shift of power in OPEC, which allows the +most powerful country to influence the international Oil price. Due to +this easy way of gaining a monopoly, any state can abuse their position +in OPEC very easily.

The war against Communism has the goal of defeating an idea that goes +against everything the US stands for. Communism tries to abolish the +entire concept of a class based society, which would result in the +Government any rich people would loose their power. It is clear why the +US government tries everything they can to avoid any Communist movement +in any country, since they seemingly still believe in the Domino Theory, +and fear that any communist country that gains a lot of power could +cause other countries to move towards communism.

And finally, the attempts of gaining power in countries. This is not +always very easy, as seen with the example of Cuba, getting power over +countries can also mean completely blocking any cooperation with +specific states, in this case setting an embargo on Cuba and threatening +non US companies to sanction them if they decide to trade with Cuba. +This gives the US control over every company that is interested in +having the US as a partner, which usually every company wants. Based on +this example it becomes clear that wars with the objective of directly +gaining power in countries does not always mean getting power over the +country in which the war is happening, but to gain power over other +countries through this war.

What I learned from this +Term Paper

The core information of this was nothing new to me, however the +extend of what the US does to justify their wars and war crimes was very +shocking and only increased my critical attitude towards US politics. +This Term Paper showed me, that countries are able to ignore war crimes +through and lie to the population in order to make them seem better to +retract a statement, which also is the reason why I want to retract a +statement I made in the beginning of this Term Paper, I said that there +are only "better guys" in wars, not "good" guys, after writing this +Paper it has become clear to me that even "better guys" do not exist in +wars. Everyone who participates in any war is a horrible person and it +does not matter what their political opinion is. They all commit +genocide towards groups of people and point at the others saying that +they are the ones violating human rights, while leading a genocide +against transgender people in their own country and secretly murdering +children in a state based on stolen land. I have also noticed that +Imperialism is not dead, as many assume. Imperialism never ended, except +that now the government knows how to hide their Imperialism and sell it +to the population as a "Liberation", "removal of Nazis" or "fighting +terrorist groups". Due to this system of gaining power through money and +gaining money through power it is only a matter of time until every +country turns into some sort of fascist, imperialist state.
