Today is November the 11th, and In Canada, That means it is remembrance day.
Remembrance day is a Canadian national holiday where we pay tribute to and honor those who have waged wars for others, meaning the soldiers who were shamed into fighting someone else's war.
All people are asked to take a one minute vow of silence and wear a poppy to commemorate the fallen soldiers.
We are taught to think of them as heroes.
But I think a change of perspective is in order.
Why are they heroes?
Who have they saved?
They have not saved anyone and so cannot be thought of as heroes.
They fought someone else's war, were shamed into fighting,
So it is logical to see them as pawns in a war mongering machine.
Because the reality is, war is about money for some, and control for others.
The Rothschilds, for example, have been known to fund both sides of nearly every war in the last century.
And this video will explain to you how every war is a bankers war.
But that’s not the point I want to make here.
The point I want to make is this: Why are we taught to remember soldiers as people who have died for some valiant cause?
Why have we been taught to look at them like this, when the reality is that war is an ugly, unnecessary, guttural thing that does not need to exist and has no winning side?
Why are we taught to pay our respects to those who deserve no respect, but only pity?
Why has Canada created a national holiday around this?
It seems like an ugly sacrifice.
Millions upon millions died and killed in the two world wars, and within all this destruction, there is not one hero.
There are war heroes: ones who have saved friends, but they are not heroes in the larger context: for they have caused more harm then good.
The true heroes that we have in society are sadly mostly forgotten and wiped from the history books.
Sometimes they are killed.
Or taken as a political prisoner.
Which is why I do not believe that Canadians like myself should pay this unnecessary tribute to this war mongering machine, wearing a poppy which to me has now come to symbolize death and destruction, and opium.
All I ask is that whoever ends up reading this can begin to look at things laid directly in their face - things like national holidays - and begin to question them.
Because knowledge is power and a balance in power is necessary for peace.
Thank you for reading.
