Defence is attack and attack is defence

The business of defence is a business of attack; the two sides of one coin, each having a direct influence on the outcome and direction of the other. Pre-emptive attack is based on a classic argument in military theory, used by the authors of PNAC in 1997 and by William Kristol in the video Why We Fight, that if you see someone about to shoot someone else you take them out first. Typically, the Military Academy, develops this self-defence posture into a national defence posture using the same argument of a one to one threat. But, the idea expounded in military theory of broadening the one to one into defending a nation is completely and utterly flawed because it is based on social/economic/political theory specifically framed by a core section of the privilged class within a military industrial narrative of what constitutes a NATION. Furthermore, the fiasco of military endeavour is revealed when the same argument is used for the attack on the Twin Towers, that it was a justifiable pre-emptive attack in defence of military expansion into the Middle East posed by the US military regime in PNAC and by previous incursions into their area since the Dark Ages. The revolving door of attack and counter-attack and pre-emptive attack is less about defence but more about creating the conditions for the sustainability of a Western economy heavily dependent on war as a key to industrial and economic supremacy which is a condition that . The American citizen in particular, having been raised on the narrative of a gun culture, is vulnerable to accepting at face value the social theory put forward by their military gurus and it is this which forms part of its national consciousness which puts God at the top as the Most Holy Gun Slinger of the Universe. Of course I jest. The truth is more sickening. The American culture is but a spitting image of The Most Holy Gun Slinger culture created by sword wielding Royal families across Eurasia and elsewhere who also created wars in their restless search for accumulating wealth and power. By grabbing land and then renting it out to the defeated 'enemy' they formed city states which became States and Nations. Private militias over time became public armies but the core of command is still private. They too exploited their advantage over the common fighting man who had no comparable intelligence networks to refute the reasons given for war and, by throwing them into one battle after another primarily for the cause of expanding their own personal fortunes through land grabs and exchanging trophies of war, they fostered a European culture of greed and idolatry. They distributed the lands they conquered among a syphilitic inbreeding class of arrogant warrior prince and noble who then subjected the bulk of humanity to a servile cringing existence as their subjects, as servants of the ruling class, as cannon fodder. Greed and idolatry and manslaughter. Though indeed a sickening picture, a grim tale of soldiers fighting proxy wars under a false flag of comradeship and common purpose, the grim tale of sordid exploitation has already been judged by Jesus Christ whose words are always brought to bear on all the self proclaimed Lords and Princes who have buggered up the lives of trillions of souls. Read Jesus words and you will see how God proposes to bring justice to an unjust world The business of defence, like the business of war, is a LIE.
