From the very time of Cain
killing Abel, the invention of more efficient weapons for violent conflict
has been a consistent aspect of human endeavor. The conclusion that modern
society refuses to accept the reality is that this curse is a direct result of
the fallen nature from disobeying God by eating of the forbidden fruit. There
is a reason why the high tech totalitarians and trillion dollar behemoth,
chose the name APPLE. Weaponry can take many forms but for most of history,
armies and navies fought to the death to defend their ruling elites or to
extend their empire aspirations. The only such consequence is a theater of
operations for dead bodies. For centuries the guidance of Sun
Tzu was followed as reflected in Carl von Clausewitz’s famous
dictum:
“The art of war
teaches us to rely not on the likelihood of the enemy’s not coming, but on
our own readiness to receive him; not on the chance of his not attacking, but
rather on the fact that we have made our position unassailable.” – Sun Tzu
“War is not an independent
phenomenon, but the continuation of politics by different means.” –
Carl von Clausewitz
For additional context read the
selection of Books About War. Then review the US DOD fiscal year 2019 budget that details the high tech armament used to
maintain the Amerika Empire.
The combined
capabilities and performance of United States (U.S.) weapon systems are
unmatched throughout the world, ensuring that U.S. military forces have the
advantage over any adversary. The Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 acquisition
(Procurement and Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E)
funding request for the Department of Defense (DoD) budget totals $236.7
billion, which includes base and Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO)
funding; $144.3 billion for Procurement funded programs and $92.4 billion for
RDT&E funded programs. Of the $236.7 billion, $92.3 billion is for
programs that have been designated as Major Defense Acquisition Programs
(MDAPs). This book focuses on all funding for the key acquisition programs.
No one can deny that budget
expenditures multiply, more deadly destructive systems are developed and the
killing fields are targeted for future expansion. Making Sun
Tzu proud is not a valid foreign policy. Contrast with this assessment
from Douglas MacArthur: “Our country is now geared to an arms
economy bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and an
incessant propaganda of fear.”
This post WWII internationalism
deployment relies on high tech arms to wage war to impose a global New World
Order. Ordinary individuals are excluded from the decision policy process and
hoodwinked into serving in a military that only benefits the
Military-Industrial-Security Complex.
Technology makeup is difficult to
curtail because the nature of human society is based upon hubris, greed and
the joy of obliterating rivals on a mass scale. Starvation is often more
effective than a drone strike. Mahatma Gandhi offers this preset for
overcoming the evil curse in community conduct. “As human beings, our
greatness lays not so much in being able to remake the world – that is the
myth of the atomic age – as in being able to remake ourselves.”
Rampant High Tech cannot be tamed
any more than mankind can control the effect of the sun on the earth’s
climate temperature. Placing trust in science to establish peace ignores
their record of building bigger and more powerful munitions. Note the
in-depth reporting on military.com from DefenseTech which stays on top of
changes, rounding up the day’s news, linking to sources of information, and
providing analysis on what’s ahead.
Yet, humans still have free will
and can exclude themselves from the institutions of carnage and domination.
Still the anti-war movement of the 1960’s has virtually disappeared since the
draft was abolished. Sadly, today’s youth believe they can wage a limited
bloodless campaign from a joystick on a glorified virtual reality screen.
The all-knowing gurus of the high
tech transhumanism cult would have your brain wired directly to a blue tooth
interconnect to receive your daily programming and instructions. The military
is deploying weaponize robots; soon the social credit enforcement system will
chip you in order to exist in the new and advanced internment camp of
tomorrow. The mark of the beast is lurking beneath the surface and the tribulation
not too distance off.
Even if you reject the end of
days, surely you would have to admit that the curse of technology in weapon
development is progressing at frightening speed. Michael Schmitt, professor
of public international law and a space war expert at University of Exeter in
the United Kingdom asks in, ‘It’s going to happen’: is the
world ready for war in space?
“Space war is inevitable because today’s modern
militaries use space for everything, from spy satellites to a soldier on a
mountaintop using satnav to figure out exactly where he or she is. “The
reliance upon space is truly extraordinary in contemporary conflict,” says
Schmitt. And in any war, one side will seek to deprive the other of their
ability to function. In this day and age, that means attacking the
satellites.”
This viewpoint is a common sense
evaluation based on the entire record of human aggression. From the murder of
Abel by Cain to the race to militarize the solar orbits of earth, the saga of
inexorable slaughter of our species reigns supreme.
For every enhancement in
technology, there is an additional loss in personal and individual autonomy
from a destructive society that is designed to marginalize what the elites
consider to be useless feeders. War is the preferred method of controlling
the masses. According to the Peter Peterson Foundation the U.S. outspends the next seven
countries. The United States spends more on national defense than China,
Saudi Arabia, India, France, Russia, United Kingdom, and Germany. While the
chart above illustrates last year’s defense spending in dollar terms, the United States has historically
devoted a larger share of its economy to defense than many of its key allies.
Somehow technology will not reset
a foreign policy based upon aggression and empire.
