No Bells Going Off Imperialist Peace Prize?



Alfred Nobel

Wealth-as-Power.


Every population of every wealth-as-power cult(ure) is carefully conditioned and habituated to internalise the belief that the cult(ure) is both inevitable and the best.


Wealth-as-Power can only exist when a minority extract wealth, resources and assets from a population and the land in which that population lives.


Exploitation causes harm, and this generates dissent, and sometimes resistance.


Thus Wealth-as-Power controlling minorities have to deploy behaviour tools of control coercion and violence.


Egalitarians cultures do not.


Every colonial culture is a Wealth-as-Power cult.


No Bells Going Off Imperialist Gaslighting Peace Prize?

Nobel Peace Prize 2025 goes to a woman Maria Corina Machado, who is an ardent Zionist, who has suggested a 're-conquista' to remove all Muslim people from Europe, privatisation of the State, hatred for 

Socialism...


Maria Corina Machado


There are others much more deserving of this award, if it had any real meaning - Greta Thungberg, Francesca Albanese, Jeremy Corbyn, Lowkey, Ilan Pappé, Bisan Owda, the hundreds of millions of people actively opposing Militarism..



Obama was awarded the prize and escalated America's global drone warfare. Henry Kissinger did pretty much the same. And so it goes...


This is who Maria Corina Machado really is:


She helped lead the 2002 coup that briefly overthrew a democratically elected president, and signed the Carmona Decree that erased the Constitution and dissolved every public institution overnight.


She worked hand in hand with Washington to justify regime change, using her platform to demand foreign military intervention to “liberate” Venezuela through force.


She cheered on Donald Trump’s threats of invasion and his naval deployments in the Caribbean, a show of force that risks igniting regional war under the pretext of “combating narcotrafficking.”

While Trump sent warships and froze assets, Machado stood ready to serve as his local proxy, promising to deliver Venezuela’s sovereignty on a silver platter.


She pushed for the US sanctions that strangled the economy, knowing exactly who would pay the price: the poor, the sick, the working class.


Zionist, Colonialist, "Peace Maker"?



All of this is very well documented and this is not a smear on her character, it is an accurate assessment of her behaviour.

Nobel. Dynamite and TNT Ding Dong.


Alfred Nobel was deeply involved in the arms industry, both through his family's legacy and his own inventions and company acquisitions. He patented numerous weapons, including the forerunner to cordite, and bought the Bofors company, turning it into a major arms manufacturer. Despite his direct involvement in creating armaments, Nobel held complex views on war and expressed a hope that his powerful explosives could make war so horrific that it would end, a belief he shared with pacifist Bertha von Suttner. 


An absolutely ludicrous and delusional hope....


Like many who profited from great harm, he - Mr. Nobel - sought to 'balance the books'.


But it fails, every time.


Harm cannot be undone.


Harm cannot be undone, and great harm even moreso. The Genocides of Rwanda, Gaza, Royhunga, Armenia, Ireland, Australia, Angola, Maibia, Kenya, North and South Americas and so many others can not be undone. 


The only way to balance against those horrific events is for the perpetrators to hold themselves accountable, or be held accountable by todays populations, to strive to meet the un-met needs of the harmed, the survivors and to take robust action to prevent the same harm ever being perpetrated again


Western Militarism undermines any claims it has to be progressive. 


Because it refuses to hold itself accountable and it actively prevents the voting population from hold the legislators who fund militarism and wage war accountable.


I write of Western Militarism because as a western voter that is the area where I might have, and we certainly as a vast majority can have effective influence if we decide to deploy it, robustly.


The issue of Militarism in Russia, China, Africa, South America is for their populations to confront. 


I believe the Global South would move towards a demilitarised condition if the Western Militarism was held accountable for current and past transgressions by the Western voting populations. Including colonialism.


The Palestine issue will not be resolved until the perpetrators of the colonial project are all held accountable, in historical terms and in the present and into the future, in such manner that no further harm is caused.


Israel is a weapon.


Israel was intended and is, and will ever be,  a weapon of the British White Supremacist Empire.


To hold Israel accountable the British Ruling Class must be held accountable. To scapegoat Israel  and let the Western Supremacist Empire off the hook is to fail.


It may take a while (though it should not) for the majority of people to arrive at the most accurate historical understanding of the charge I laid out here.


Once we do, and it must be soon, then there is no viable future for any of us without holding the Western Colonial Powers accountable. None.

Compost Wealth - Natural Intelligence

Here's an idea from natural biology.


feed the world


When a billionaire dies, his or her children and family each receive a few million, a few million goes to philanthropic endeavours, the rest goes back into public ownership, including the shareholdings and assets, to be composted to nurture the next few generations of the whole society.


Compost the hierarchy of wealth-as-power for the benefit of everyone, including the billionaires and their clans, who would end up living in a much safer world as a direct result. 


compost is natural intelligence


The way a fallen Sequoia or Oak or Mahogany tree will feed the roots of the trees around, as well as the myriad of living organisms that help break it down, that get eaten by other organisms all the way up the food chain and back down again.


If you oppose this then I think you oppose building a safer, kinder happier culture for humanity and I think you need counselling help.

Stephen Wise speaks the truth at a conference in New York 1931

Those of us who read History from the perspective of the most vulnerable people and their lived experience in the shadow of the decision made by the most powerful class, the ruling class, see through the propaganda and romanticisation of Kings, Great Leaders, Nationalist Hagiographies and claims of progress and civilisation.

Jonathon Edwards: A Christian Zionist fixated upon Fire, Brimstone and Beauty. Beauty?


We know that Zionist was an English Calvinist ideology, born in 1580, in London, curated by the British Empire which emerged after the English Civil War and the Industrial Revolution funded by slavery, the Opium wars and colonial conquests. So much needless suffering so that yet another series of venal Wealth-as-Power Cults could call themselves progressive cultures.

The Protestant Plantations of Ireland under Cromwell became a model for future colonial 'best practice'.

"
Calvinist Christian Zionism 
originated from Puritanism in the 16th and 17th centuries, with figures like  Martin Bucer and Peter Martyr Vermigli who  forwarded a biblical exegesis which included an important role for the Jews, converted to Christianity, in the end times Jonathan Edwards believing Jewish return to Palestine was essential for Christ's Second Coming and the spread of the gospel

This theological concept of restorationism was later revived by British parliamentarians in the 19th century, such as Lord Shaftesbury, influencing policy toward a Jewish presence in Palestine for their own religious goals, which was a precursor to modern political Zionism. "



The Calvinists assumed a dark belief that to bring forth the return of The Messiah (Jesus 2.0) all Jews had to be returned to the lands of Judea, initiating a global war for Christianity, waged by God, Jesus and Christians, and that 1/3rd of all Jews would convert and be saved, the rest and all other peoples of any faith or none would perish, and thus a fully Christian Earth would emerge, fulfilling the Biblical order to hold dominion over the Earth.

Curated as a geopolitical weapon, anti-Jewish under its pallid skin, a skin torn from the Jewish Faith and Diaspora, and reshaped as a mask. They wanted to move all Jewish people from Europe to anywhere else, and Palestine was the final destination. 

Ze'ev Jabotinsky, a leading Zionist wrote a letter to all Zionists in 1923, titled 'The Iron Wall' extolling the inherent morality of the Zionist Cause, and thus the correctness of the necessary violent conquest of the lands already long inhabited by Arab Jews, Christians, Muslims, Sufi, Zoarstrians, Bedouins and secularists.... This was well known by the British Empire Ruling Class, they read his letter amongst many other Zionist diatribes, and understood their implications perfectly well.

Stephen Samuel Wise inadvertently laid bare this piece of history at the Zionist Conference held in New York, in 1931, attended by Lloyd George and other luminaries of the Empire and of Zionism.

Anti-Jewish oppression was rampant, as it had been since the Middle Ages, and in European power circles it was a favourite after dinner topic amongst the wealth and powerful as they chugged of cigars and fine brandy, the men of means chatting shit about how great there were.

a rewrite of 'Black is The Colour of My True Loves Hair'


For Bisan Owda. Allah yahfazek!


May you, and the Palestinian people live long and prosper on their own land.


----


Black is the color of Bisan Owda’s hair,
Her lips are like red Hanoun fair.
The sweetest smile and the gentlest hands,
I love the olive groves wherein she stands.


I love her life, and well she knows,
I love the grass whereon she goes.
Her truths are there, for all to see,
In her clear vision, Palestine shall be free.

Black is the color of  Bisan Owda's hair,
Her lips are as red Hanoun fair.
The sweetest smile and the gentlest hands,
I love the olive groves wherein she stands.


I’ll sing from the river to the sea
Unsatisfied, I ne’er shall sleep.
I’ll wage no war, nor political lies
And struggle on, for fifteen million lives....


Black is the color of Bisan Owda's hair,
Her lips are like red Hanoun fair.
The sweetest smile and the gentlest hands,
I love the olive groves wherein she stands.


Palestine will one day be free
The Zionists will have to answer to thee
The strength of your heart, your clarity of mind,

Your humanity and poise, your vision fine.


Black is the color of Bisan Owda's  hair,
Her lips are like red Hanoun fair.
The sweetest smile and the gentlest hands,
I love the olive groves wherein she stands.


We stand with you, we will not stand down,

Our hearts are yours, the whole world round,

No matter what, we will not stand by,

until you are Free, in Palestine.


Black is the color of Bisan Owda's  hair,
Her lips are like red Hanoun fair.
The sweetest smile and the gentlest hands,
I love the olive groves wherein she stands.

Zionism, Indoctrination, Alice Miller's warnings and bigotry as a curated weapon of societal division

The Roots of Violence in child rearing : for your own good


Alice Miller in her book 'The Roots of Violence in child rearing : for your own good' laid out a clear warning that the kinds of misogynistic, racist, xenophobic politics we are seeing emerge would be inevitable, if society did not confront the way trauma impacts parenting.


Alice Miller

"Child Maltreatment and Abuse"

What is it? (Alice Miller Interview)

Humiliations, blows, slaps, deception, sexual exploitation, mockery, neglect, etc. are forms of abuse because they harm a child’s integrity and dignity, even if the effects are not immediately visible. It is in adulthood that the child who was once abused will begin to suffer from it and make others suffer. This is not just a family problem, but a problem for all of society because the victims of this dynamic of violence, transformed into perpetrators, take revenge on entire nations, as shown by the increasingly frequent genocides under atrocious dictatorships like that of Hitler. Beaten children learn violence very early on, which they will use as adults while believing what they were told: that they deserved the punishments and were beaten “out of love.” They don’t know that, in reality, the only reason for the punishments they endured was due to the fact that their parents suffered and learned violence very early on without questioning it. In their turn, they hit their children without thinking they are doing them harm.

This is how society’s ignorance remains so strong and how parents, in good faith, continue to produce harm in each generation for millennia. Almost all children are hit when they start walking and touching objects that shouldn’t be touched. This happens exactly at the age when the human brain is structuring itself (between 0 and 3 years). At that point, the child should learn kindness and love from their role models, but never, under any circumstances, violence and lies (such as: “I hit you for your own good and out of love”). Fortunately, there are some abused children who receive love and protection from “caring witnesses” in their surroundings.

https://www.naturalchild.org/articles/alice_miller/roots_violence.html  - Alice Miller review


"I describe pictures of people, use histories of them as mirrors. And then many come and say, `This is exactly what I felt all my life but couldn't say.' I don't want to be a guru. I don't want people to believe me. I only encourage them to take their own experience seriously."

Alice Miller's stories portray abused and silenced children who later become destructive to themselves and to others. Adolf Hitler, says Miller, was such a child. Constantly mistreated by his father, emotionally abandoned by his mother, he learned only cruelty; he learned to be obedient and to accept daily punishments with unquestioning compliance. After years, he took revenge. As an adult he once said, "It gives us a very special, secret pleasure to see how unaware people are of what is really happening to them."

Miller, famed throughout Europe, wrote of Hitler's childhood in For Your Own Good: Hidden Cruelty in Child-Rearing and The Roots of Violence. In the same work she lets Christiane F. tell her own story: "I had trouble telling the letters H and Kapart One evening my mother was taking great pains to explain the difference to me. I could scarcely pay attention to what she was saying because I noticed my father getting more and more furious. I always knew what was going to happen. He went out and got the hand broom and gave me a trouncing. Now I was supposed to tell the difference between H, and K. Of course by that time I didn't know anything anymore, so I got another licking and was sent to bed." Christiane went into the street and became a drug addict.

"We do not need books about psychology in order to learn to respect our children," Miller says. "What we need is a total revision of the methods of child rearing and our traditional view about it.

The way we were treated as small children is the way we treat ourselves the rest of our lives: with cruelty or with tenderness and protection. We often impose our most agonizing suffering upon ourselves and, later, on our children."

Indoctrination is a weapon


Zionism's secret weapon is indoctrination. The Christian Nationalist secret weapon (Jesus Camps) is indoctrination. The Colonial Project in North America and Canada were fuelled by Calvinist Ideological indoctrination, Manifest Destiny.. The Indian Residential Schools were designed to indoctrinate the young children of the Native population - 'kill the Indian to save the man'.

Cognitive Warfare carried out on-line through micro targeting emotional vulnerability is part of this, it is designed to weaponise targets. Cognitive Warfare includes forms of indoctrination that target people who present symptoms of emotional immaturity and insecurity.


Colonialism is an inherently criminal enterprise.


These are all abusive practices.

Miller called this the instrumentalisation of children’s minds and bodies to become adult weapons of the systems of hierarchy and dominance. Traumatisation is inextricably entwined in this practice in that it always undermines meeting the emotional psychological and moral needs of the children for their healthy development.

Judith Herman in ’Trauma and Recovery’ wrote that ‘the study of psychological trauma is an inherently political enterprise because it calls attention to the experience of oppressed people.’

https://beyondthetemple.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/herman_trauma-and-recovery-1.pdf


In my analysis the Western Industrial Cult(ure) of Wealth-as-Power I have written about this arena of malign societal influence and I state here, once again,  that Wealth-as-Power can only exist and persist if exploitation of entire populations is sustained. 


Capitalism /Industrialism is a cult, a belief system that deliberately and consistently deploys layers of violence to maintain its dominance. The core belief is that some are entitled, due to innate superiority, to exploit others. 


This is because exploitation is inherently unjust and causes harm. This generates distant and resistance. That resistance has to be controlled, by crushing it or dividing the population, and the curation of bigotry is a key method deployed.


Wealth-as-Power cult(ure)s present the same dynamic psychologies as an abusive family system.


In much the same way as a parent might punish a child with physical violence whilst asserting 'this is for your own good' they seem to believe that they are entitled to do so, that it is the best thing for all concerned. 


As a pattern of behaviour such punishment is more about the adults unconscious need to vent their own unresolved rage at their own parents, directed ar the vulnerable child, as a scapegoat, a dynamic that they can never admit without losing their sense of power, because to admit to their vulnerability, their unmet needs is to drop their shield, it is to eschew that sense of entitled power. 


Palestine Action are not Terrorists.


So too with the 'terrorism' charges laid at the people who actively oppose and protest the Genocide in Gaza. The Indian residential Schools of Canada and North America resonate with this dynamic, institutionalised.




Western liberals do not admit to this insight, and thus they never connect openly the curation of bigotry by the ruling class of Industrialism as a weapon system as a subject of critical analysis and honest discussion and therefore as something to actively counter. 


Farage is not just a nasty man.


They speak of bigotry as primarily a personal flaw, a quality of 'nasty people' rather than a weapon deployed by known actors that must be collectively countered. And so they approve of affirmative action and DEI without getting to the root of the problem - its deliberately curation by Wealth-as-Power elites as a weapon of societal division. Farage is a 'nasty' person, not a weapon of the Industrialist Ruling Class.


The indoctrination of children, be it direct or indirect, be it by habituation or acculturation, is a core component of the systems of oppression.  


The careful grooming of vulnerable adults is also part of this. 


The manosphere of 'Traditional Male Values' are part of this. Andrew Tate targets insecure young boys. Jordan Peterson targets boomer demographic insecure adult men. Russel Brand targets Millenails. All are proven grifters.

Ideological grooming via cognitive warfare is part of this.

Indoctrination is fundamentally an act of psychological abuse, and should be understood as a criminal enterprise.


Zionism


The Palestinians are not radicalised - they are simply put, standing on their own ground, the land they have inhabited for hundreds of generations, thousands of years.


They know this is their home, that the water, soil and air of Palestine is their bodies. They know they have an inherent right to self determination. They knew this under the Ottomans, The Romans and every other Empire that stood upon them.


The European Colonial project of Zionism is the problem.


Sir Ronald Storrs said that the Zionist enclave was to be 'a loyal little Jewish Ulster in a sea of potentially hostile Arabism'.


His meaning was that as the new Empire dominating the region, having taken over from the hated Ottomans, the threat of Arab speaking peoples seeking self determination through political, social, economic and multi-cultural solidarity posed a threat to the commercial interests of the Empire, and that potential had to be dissolved, dissuaded, crushed and prevented from emerging.


The British and French drew new borders, to split populations across language groups and other affinities, they installed monarchies and dictatorships, who they armed and funded, often training their leadership in Oxford and Sandhurst, as allies or vassals, to keep political power and agency away from the general population.


They created the Plantation of Zionism in the exact same pattern as the Plantation of Ireland under Cromwell, whose calling card was 'to Connaught or to Hell' - the Irish native population and landowners were pushed westwards, or they'd be slaughtered. and slaughter them they did, with religious zeal, a zeal they passed to their children to sustain hundreds of years of colonial oppression and exploitation.
