WORLD WIDE PROTESTS & THREATENED ARREST OF ISRAELI OFFICIALS FOR WAR CRIMES
Student Protests Ineffective & Dangerous - Or Is the World Coming To Its Senses?
HOW SHOCKING - A RETURN TO DECENCY BY STUDENTS!
Forward:
It is with great hope that I learn just as I was finishing this essay - that the ICC has issued arrest warrants for leading Israeli officials.
Maybe - I think for a second - the world has come to its senses - but then I remember all the rest we must deal with as a few of we ordinary mortals across the planet see clearly that war and war profiteering and the terrible cost of the military industrial complex is too much to bear.
My hope and trust since the beginnings of all this - in what seems now to be a lifetime ago - has been that all of us around the world would begin to wake up and recognize the degree to which we are all burdened by tyranny.
That is to say - that by seeing through the rationalizations for war, tyranny and genocide - we might come to our collective senses.
But my second sense is the recognition that we are already in WW III and that what we are seeing is simply the escalation of this conflict.
It is a bitter truth for all of us who have been invested in seeing a peaceful ending - but in the end the human species of planet earth appears to have already decided for continued tyranny, war and escalating genocide.
It has been truly shocking how a resurgence of human decency among students seems to disrupt the goals of the nation states and how desperately the military industrial complex fights to restrain the students.
Here the Grayzone speaks to the goals and aspirations of the college protestors who are standing against genocide.
Warriors like those at the Grayzone who wage reason and common sense in the face of the ham-fisted brutality of our governments - are few.
After an initial burst of hope - the recognition comes that the nation states of the world have wanted open World War III for quite awhile - and this uproar in many ways has all the elements of the opening salvos of - or escalation of - a war.
The most popular view of the student uprisings seems to be a reflexive totalitarian-style rigidity one might be forgiven to associate with the Nixon, Johnson and Reagan regimes associated with earlier American tyranny - or worse.
There seems to be a rigid tyrannical kind of Salem Witch Trials iron fisted core at the heart of American consciousness.
It is not untoward to wish to turn to some of the criticisms of the American way offered by those very souls who suffered imprisonment and even genocide at the hands of America.
And it would not be untoward to see a rank hypocrisy at watching as the former great constitutional republic - based once on a Constitution, Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights - one which appears on the surface to support the rights of people to question the authority of government - stands now in opposition to the principles on which it is founded.
It would not be the first time that student protests brought the very most fundamental tenants of the nation state and the rule by a tyrannical governing force into question.
But the ossified - mired in cement - authoritarian agenda of the nation state seems to take precedence over the people once again.
The founding ancestors of the American republic would also stand in opposition to the tyrannical direction this government - the very same government which they dreamed of, engineered, fought for and at one point wrested from - the clutches of British tyranny
The full force of the student uprisings and any such actions to protest the over reach of government should be focused on writing a new - 21st century declaration of independence - against the waging of tyranny.
But we bring ourselves up short in the recognition that this is war - and also remind ourselves that our founding ancestors were also in the midst of war - as they saw through to the necessity of daring to pose their revolutionary ideas - which did - for awhile - change the world.
But it appears instead that the land of the free, home of the brave has once again fallen into the morass of European style tyranny - Western tyranny indistinguishable in reality from Eastern, Southern or Northern tyranny.
Called by any name - tyranny is finally and irrevocably - just simply tyranny.
If these protests were targeted against Russia, against the unvaccinated or other establishment-favorable subjects there would be cheering instead of crackdowns.
And the behavior of the mass media - the new 21st century propaganda agencies - is to faithfully parrot the absolutest totalitarian agenda.
Decency - how dare we allow college students to embrace decency - can’t we just smell the burning of the Salem witches in the morning?
As we are in the midst of a genocide which is never mentioned by mainstream media - the ongoing genocide from the vaccines - we are imperiled by the modern distortions of yet another historical and 20th century genocide.
In the former case - the Nazi holocaust to 20th century Europe - it was a nation state of Germany which - taken over by Nazi tyranny - engineered one of the most famous episodes of mass genocide.
We need to recognize that there are many less celebrated episodes of mass genocide in history engineered by both Western and Eastern governments - including China under Mao, the Soviet Union under Stalin, and Cambodia under the regime imposed by the United States.
But in the end - tyranny is simply tyranny - we know it when we see and feel it - the students know it - but the nation state - isolated in its ivory towers - cannot see it, cannot feel it.
And most of us - living under the tyranny of the nation state - have grown so terribly accustomed to tyranny to such an extent we can no longer recognize it for what it is.
We see - instead of seeing a promise in our college students waking up and asking questions - a snapshot which inspires fear and hostility in the good burghers of society.
But the students - in asking questions - at the still pre-ossified stage of their lives - can still ask.
It would appear that we - as the adults in the room - need to listen and support.
There are not two sides here - there is only one side - the human side.
But for the majority of the good burghers whose opinions are shaped by the mass media propaganda agencies the opinions connected with the iron fist of tyranny which runs through humanity will win out.
The best we can do as those on the human side is to work toward peace but recognize that the world is apparently deciding for war.
The world has been siding with war and warmongers for thousands of years - so this should come as no surprise.
There are still all the reasons in this world - and universe of which we are a part - to stand for peace, sanity, reason, logic and the authenticity of our human feelings and emotions.
By accepting the illogic and unreason of the crowd and of the good burghers who decide in favor of tyranny - we are denying all that is logical and reasonable in ourselves and in the wonderful things which make the tragedy of this world bearable.
Stay strong star seeds - looks like we are in for a world of trouble ahead.
OK, great that the nation-states collapsing, how do we insulate ourselves from the effects, is that what they call preparedness, and how do we do it in (secret).
You are correct about a globalist plan. However, we're getting p!ayed again! Questions and observations:
1) How did all these "organic" Palestinian protests spring up all over the world a day or two after the Oct. 7 massacre, complete with flags, garb and professional signs? Wal-Mart doesn't stock that stuff! Who manufactured this enormous amount of goods? Who paid for it?
2)Who is paying for all the tents that strangely resemble each other? There are also supposed to be $500 gift cards for showing up.
3)Why are a majority of people getting arrested at protests not students?
4)Why are students who want to attend classes being forcibly kept out?
5)2023 was a terrible year for mass slaughter and populations being driven by force from their homes.
There are 20 countries in extreme crisis of food, supplies, etc., including Jordan and Syria WHERE PALESTINIAN REFUGEES HAVE BEEN LOCKED IN CAMPS FOR OVER 50 YEARS NOW. No protests? (Palestine isn't even mentioned.)
A minimum of 5.6 million people have been driven from their homes, a further 25 million need aid and some 9,000 have been killed in Sudan. Where are the protests at the White House or on college campuses?
Biden left a smoldering mess in Afghanistan. Our allies are still being hunted down and killed. Women lost all rights AGAIN! No protests? Interesting...Pakistan has a 500% increase in suicide bombings since we left! NICE
Armenians where the Christian Church was established in 300AD have been essentially conquered by Azerbaijan. They were driven off their lands into the mountains. Gas, electric and internet have been cut off. Roads blocked so no supplies! No protests either!
And now, the Oct. 7 massacre is being called disinformation, propaganda, etc...
