Human Intellect And Wisdom Challenged:
‘Wars, Arms, Deaths’ Is It All For ‘Peace’!?
(I)
BIG powers’ some unjust leaders use for their good
and bad monopolies the UNO as a world chess
board. Their and their satellite pawn states’ some
unjust leaders together play this monopoly, enslaving
their own nations.
MONOPOLY of some unjust leaders’from big powers
and their UNSC installed favorite national gangsters
worldwide make national governments who abuse their
own peoples.
DEATHS of nations happen when these rulers force
their own nations live a life without human goodness,
principles, morality starved of life’s necessities collectively
like law and order, justice, and basic infra structure
and what all it takes in as essentials as basic education,
spirituality and economics, utilities and compulsory constitutional
rights and human civilities to make a nation
live an honorable life.
NATIONS starving of material as well as spiritual values
live under constant fear of life and property, under
bayonets and guns, bombs and suicidal driving in different
countries, including the Western and Eastern, or in
whatever capacity and description they’re rightly or
wrongly classified.
WARS are bad to dominate through war monger puppet
leaders when wars and invaders kill rival soldiers
whose duty it is to guard their own country, whatever
country that happens to be.
WORSE is the case when wars kill more innocent people
than soldiers in many parts of what were once peaceful
here and there in the world. Let us examine how human
intellect and wisdom is challenged with wars, weapons,
deaths and abuses all in the name of “peace”! All this can
be immediately considered for counter measures and proper
actions, or if not possible, then gradually reduced and
outright stopped. It can be viewed that past is an indication
of what can and ought to be done to deal against eruption
of such volcanic crisis series in future too:
FACTS and research claim that of the past 3,400 years,
humans have been entirely at peace for 268 of them, or
just 8 percent of recorded history. It’s a pity. This record
can be reversed. All sane leaders can try it against insane
ones!
100-MILLION plus, at least 108 million to be precise,
were killed in wars in the 20th century alone. Most of
those wars were fought by fascist genetic loonies as well
as ambitious militarists and arms manufacturers with
world domination as their selling theme and marketing
pitch to small and big leaders on regional and world scale.
ONE-BILLION was a total number of people estimated
to be killed in wars in most of the known and recorded
human history, ranging from 150 million and upwards
to one billion. Reduced birthrate during World War II is
estimated to have caused a population deficit of more than
20 million people. A World War III can be avoided, keeping
in mind above casualty figures.
COMBINED armed forces of the world until recently
By Paulo Pinheiro
The vote that sealed Michel Temer’s installation in
power in Brazil took place precisely one week
after the end of the Rio Olympic Games and just
days before the G20 summit in China. Major disturbances
were avoided during the Games and the new president
was confirmed in his post just in time to take his
flight and enjoy a convenient round of handshakes and
photos with world leaders in China for the G20.
Everything was carefully planned to make the arbitrary
removal of a democratically-elected president look
like business as usual. That’s not to say the new leadership
in Brazil isn’t worried about whether it appears
legitimate. Over the past few months, the alliance forged
to oust Dilma Rousseff rejected calling the impeachment
process that it was sponsoring a coup d’etat. Some even
threatened to take legal action against those making this
claim in official debates. Their narrative insisted that
constitutional procedures were observed.
It is true that, unlike the sudden impeachment carried
out after just a couple of days in Paraguay in 2012 , or the
clear use of force in Honduras in 2009 , formalities were
observed in the surreal trial of Rousseff. For more than
five months, alleged government accounting irregularities
were treated as one of the most serious crimes in
Brazilian political history and were carefully analysed by
zealous legislators, including some accused of many
crimes themselves, ranging from corruption to moneylaundering.
Suddenly the same country that was capable of silently
coping with a routine of impunity in notorious cases of
state violence, such as the mass murder of street children
or landless workers, became fixated on the legality of
administrative budgeting orders.
Irrespective of such bizarre and creative legal analysis,
Rousseff’s fate was decided long before the last vote
in the senate, by the collapse of the heterogeneous coalition
that sustained her government and that made her
easy prey of an ultra-conservative legislature rattled by
uncontrolled corruption investigations.
This transition sheds light on the structural weaknesses
of Brazil’s democracy. The conservative congressmen
who led the process of impeachment had been, in fact,
key supporters of Rousseff, and of all other presidents of
Brazil since the end of dictatorship in 1985. Without their
support, government majority in parliament would be
had 21.3 million people. China had the world's largest,
with 2.4 million. America was second with 1.4 million.
India had 1.3 million, North Korea 1 million, and Russia
900,000. Of the world's 20 largest militaries, 14 were in
developing nations. However, numbers are not as important
as principles for armies to stick to their own national
duty of protecting its own borders and citizens within their
own countries. Going to war is a practice of kings in
ancient times centuries ago, not leaders in 21st century!
Ideas of Mideast kings can be shelved: At the beginning of
2003 there were 30 wars going on around the world.
There is no single "war gene." Combinations of genes can
predispose a person to violence. Worldwide, 97 percent of
today's military personnel are male. This is thought to be a
reflection of culture and biology.
AMERICA’S wars or those initiated by enemies of
America to destroy USA, can be gradually reduced and
even stopped, if US casualties are considered appropriately.
Fifteen percent (204,000) military personnel are
female. War is often regarded by observers as honorable
and noble. It can be viewed as a contest between nations,
a chance to compete and be declared the victor. More than
650,000 Americans have been killed in combat. Another
243,000 have died while wars were being fought, due to
training accidents, injury, and disease.
IT’s also equally important for other countries to
refuse to be embroiled in any war. UN can expedite
peace, and not sanction wars. Though, about 850,000
Vietcong died in the Vietnam War, 18 times the 47,000
U.S. dead. More than 600,000 North Korean and 1 million
Chinese fighters died in the Korean War, almost 50
times the 33,000 American dead. In World War II,
3,250,000 German and 1,507,000 Japanese soldiers,
sailors, and pilots were killed, 16 times the 291,000
American servicemen who were killed.
REDUCTION in budgets of war (called “defense”!, a
misleading term) can be made for which nations can rise
and make governments spend any cuts on development,
education, healthcare and welfare. Since 1975, America
has spent between 3 and 6 percent of its gross domestic
product on national defense, or approximately 15 to 30
percent of each year's federal budget. In the first years of
the twenty-first century, this meant spending roughly
$350 billion per year. From 1940 to 1996 (a period that
includes several cycles of war and peace, including the
arms race of the cold war), America spent $16.23 trillion
on the military. The cost of the Gulf War was approximately
$76 billion. Vietnam cost $500 billion; the
Korean War, $336 billion; and World War II, almost $3
trillion. Put another way, the Gulf War cost each person
in the United States $306; Vietnam, $2,204 per person;
Korea, $2,266 per person; and World War II, $20,388 per
person. At its outset, estimates for the cost of the Iraqi
War were $50 to $140 billion, and an additional $75 to
$500 billion for occupation and peacekeeping, or from
$444 to $2,274 per person.
OPINION
Rousseff is gone, but Brazil’s political crisis isn’t
impossible. With the arrival of Temer to the top post, this
collection of ultra-conservative and corrupt forces has
finally achieved hegemonic control over the executive
and legislative branches.
Calm mood
Even with the careful re-arrangement of forces in the
parliament and the enthusiastic support of the Brazilian
mainstream media (often controlled by politicians), it is
hard to believe that Temer will enjoy the same calm
mood he should now come across in China. Judicial
investigations of corruption are still ongoing and threaten
Temer personally and his most direct allies, and political
polarisation remains at an all-time high in Brazil.
The impeachment of Rousseff will leave deep scars in
political and institutional life. Not only will the country
be headed by an artificial leadership arrangement; the
new coalition comes to power imposing a radical turn to
the Right which was defeated in four previous elections.
Law reforms are to be pushed through by the new leadership
to undermine laws protecting workers and severely
restricting mandatory expenditure in health and education
over the next decades as the magical solution to
restore global trust in the country’s economy. Parliament
is also on the verge of concluding a stream of measures
undermining rights in critical areas such as the defence of
indigenous lands and the environment, as well as threatening
sexual and reproductive rights.
The Brazilian crisis is not unique. Perhaps as a late
consequence of the global economic debacle of 2008,
mainstream political forces in all regions are now dealing
with very high levels of dissatisfaction and battling strident
voices and movements. In some places, this new
wave is resulting in violence and serious damage to the
rule of law and democracy.
In Brazil, it is clear that the combined economic and
political crisis is offering a golden opportunity for an
ultra-conservative alliance to regain control of power and
demolish part of the legacy of the brief democratic experience.
Such a dramatic ending of what was once believed to
be one of the very few positive experiences of pragmatic
Left leadership in the global south will certainly resonate
beyond its borders, particularly in Latin America.
The tasks of promoting democracy and human rights
in an extremely unequal society are far more complex
than Brazil once made the world believe.
