Zhou En Lai (if you don’t know who he was, this story should apply well to you) was once asked how he found the Americans to which he laughed and said that they had no sense of history. Of course, Zhou En Lai was only partly correct. The ones in power in the US do know history. In fact, they know from history what works and practice that to a fine art. One example is the art of war and plunder at others’ expense. Also, Zhou En Lai would probably laugh at the lack of sense of history around the world today despite all the high tech media & communications we claim we have.
For example, do you know what is common between Vietnam, Palestine, and now Iraq?
1. One powerful country whacking another whenever it likes.
2. The powerful one sends its own well armed hooligans to someone else’s homes on their whim to satisfy these men’s bestial instincts and these animals kill up to 10 times their opposite numbers for everyone of them killed. In the meantime, their powerbrokers’ geopolitical objectives are conveniently satisfied.
3. They get their co-conspirators in the media to glorify such animal acts in the name of freedom and all sorts of drummed up heroics, and paint their opposite numbers in bad light by labeling them terrorists, insurgents and enemies (unless, of course, when these fellas are fighting the Russians, Germans or Chinese!)
4. They manage to fool a tonne of idiots in the world who are all too happy to parrot after them, cry for their dead, and are totally impervious to the plight of their opposite numbers. For example, I know of Australians that cry at Washington’s Vietnam War Memorial, and the PM of Singapore organized a crying session in the National Stadium 2 years ago when 2,000 Americans were killed in September 11. But they are no where to be seen when 6 million Vietnamese and 30,000 Iraqis are killed by what the Americans started (but of course, such idiots of this world are usually not aware of this)
5. And they actually succeed in doing so most of the time which pushes
their opposite numbers to greater desperation and to adopt drastic measures against them
6. They then use these drastic reactions from their opposite numbers to justify their doing all the above.
7. The world starts from step 1 above all over again, year after year, decades after decades. Which is why people like me seems to keep harping on the same thing!
If you don’t believe in the above, try this trick: ask your neighbours what they think people like Christopher Columbus are commonly known for versus what history books say they really did. Then see the difference….
