MILITARY DEFENSE vs OFFENSE: TURNING THE OTHER CHEEK by J.E. Ante

Throughout history groups and nations have been manipulated to hate and fight their neighbors in ethnic and religious wars by governments and powerful people. The enemy is first demonized by the nation's press over many months and years and then an incident is manufactured that galvanizes the people to attack their enemy. This process of war-making has been going on in countries for many centuries and is the basis of government and population control. Wars are big business and a means of earning massive fortunes in war for those many businessmen that know how to profit from them.

The federal government spends 67 cents of every tax dollar on military related armaments and the so-called defense of America. Much of this 67 cents in each dollar spent is hidden as civilian contractors instead of military spending or as foreign aid in the form of military hardware for other nations. But the real reason for this high spending and many wars is to keep the military industries of America busy and profitable for the big businesses that feed off of the American taxpayer and the misery of war.

911 was not caused by Arab terrorists but by our own government in order to keep the military industrial complex of America running smoothly and profitably. This New World Order inside job of 911 or Pearl Harbor 2 is obvious if you look into the facts. But the American mass media is bought and paid for by the same big businesses of the military industrial complex that owns American politicians. We in America have allowed a monster to be born unto the world. The monster of ignorance and power of our military of our own making by men in government and by our own lack of individual awareness and leadership.

Leadership and awareness must now be used to transform this "military industrial monster" into a weapon for good and not evil. The industries of the New World Order are owned, run, and staffed by the people of America. It is time to retool these engines of mass destruction for the good of mankind in new directions of support and renewal of the Earth and upliftment of its world peoples.

The first method of defense is to turn the other cheek. Instead of the manufactured lies of the press and war mongering that goes on many months before all wars we must recognize this technique for what it is -- the manufactured emotions of hate in the media by the military industrial complexes of the world for massive profits to be made in the next war. And when someday our own government or CIA manufactures a new incident to galvanize us to go to war again we can say, No. We forgive whoever bombed us or nuked us or biologically bombed us because we know that they probably did not do this. Our own government has manufactured another "incident" and pointed at some new enemy for us to kill or make war on for profits of our own military industries and the greed of the elite and powerful. And if by some fluke we actually were bombed by another country stupid enough to do so we can still forgive them and move on. For it is far wiser to do so then to go to war over a misunderstanding or past injustices.

Christ first said to turn the other cheek to offenses real or imagined. But this was not a passive action of a coward but rather the actions of a wise man that knows wars and discord harm all people and profit only the few who supply the arms and tools for war. Christ knew that to fight men overtly with weapons of war was a fools choice which plays into the hands of the armies of nations. Rather it is best to forgive and use your energies in the future for good rather than to harm your neighbor. To forgive frees the emotions from hatred and revenge and you can then continue to live your life with love and positive energy for your neighbors which creates a positive future for both of you.

Wars profit the military industrial-complexes of big businesses and they further the control of governments over the people in their call to arms and crusade against the enemy. But the people must learn that governments create wars for their own profit, to stay in office, and do not benefit the peoples of a nation. So forgive no matter that the media says that you have been greatly wronged by a biological or nuclear attack by some new group or country. For how can you really know it was them that really did this new attack. It is so easy to manufactured evidence and incidents to justify more wars against nations and more military spending. More call to arms and in the future a new draft or a 3 to 6 month service for all men and women to free up armed fighters to send to the front to be killed by the new enemy. This type of manufactured war and mandatory government service is truly surfdom and enforced labor by government upon an unwilling and unknowing population.

To forgive is wise, by far the least expensive course of action, and also the least harmful to all mankind. The real need is for a new war for justice and equality for all. America needs to start a "War of Equality" in the world where poverty is eliminated with micro loans to the poorest of men in all nations. Most all foreign aid both public and private must be in the form of micro loans to the poorest of peoples of the world. As the poorest peoples profit then they soon become better educated, healthy, and also have less children. The cycle of poverty is broken and society becomes more stable and more equal with each new generation.

Today we need a new military ethic of true defense. Soldiers must be trained to think for themselves and not be cloned robots. Soldiers must resist illegal orders which would call them to harm civilians and turn their own weapons upon their own people. Soldiers must be trained to resist illegal orders by their own commanders that order them to harm civilians or unarmed enemy soldiers. Anything that a government commands their own civilian populations to do, anything compulsory, is obviously suspect and probably illegal for soldiers and policemen to enforce upon their own population. Freedom and liberty in America must not be arbitary and limited in America it must be absolute.

If America is truly attacked by another nation they must not attack back and destroy the enemy but rather micro loans distributed secretly by our own military and intelligence agencies should be given to uplift these peoples and to bind them to us in friendship and upliftment of their peoples. For if a country is so foolish to harm America it must truly have been greatly wronged by us in the past and truly insane or desperate for change. This is by far the wiser course which our military can be proud to fulfill at their peril. For they become true warriors of peace instead of storm troopers of vengeance to force Americans will upon others. You do not make peace by first killing your enemy as all nations have done in the past. You make peace by sending love and goodwill by any avenue you can until peace and balance is restored. This is not passive appeasement but rather active conquest of a nation's minds and hearts by love and active goodwill being sent to them daily.
