The Aztecs brought warfare to a whole new, modern level of art, that no subsequent nation has ever matched. Their actual land conquests were small in comparison to their sphere of influence and control.
It could even be said that they invented intrigue long before the Europeans mastered it, what with political philosophers like Machiavelli or Trotsky.
Most Americans have been simply duped into believing that the UN is some kind of ineffective bumbling bunch of parlor pansies, when in fact it is THE meaningful government in this world. Nothing else that goes down even matters any more. We no longer have any. . . . as in ANY democracy or "Constitutional Republics" or even "Communist" governments on the face of the planet. The most that can be said for "independent nations" anywhere is a few bizarre tin-foil-hat ideologue/dictatorships like North Korea, Iran, and a bunch of meaningless African nutjobs.
So the Aztecs used to run "Bowery Wars". In effect they'd send out invitations to neighboring royal elites and invite them to a party, featuring some war "games". Of course, the ordinary little people were being used, fooled, duped, propagandized into thinking there was a real issue, a real war worth fighting for. They'd sign up to fight for their country. . . maybe they just did what they were told, who knows, but they believed in their wars in a way their royal leaders did not.
The royal leaders would set up a bowery on a convenient hilltop that would afford a spectacular view of the proposed "war", the battlefield. Both sets of royals would assemble there, with wine and women, to watch the show, under baskets of flowers and vine canopies. The contesting armies would be marched into the valley, the "arena", and commence hostilities. One side would prevail, take some captives. Then the other side would march back and take some captives. A lot of soldiers would die, a lot others would be maimed. The royals watching from the their flowered deck of wine and women would both cheer. The generals of both armies would declare victory and march home with their captives. Their bosses, the royals, would use a few for displays of human sacrifices to their Gods, the rest would be "booty", the needed increases in their staff of slave labor.
Since we have had a UN, we have been doing pretty much the same thing, over and over again.
It does not in fact matter that we leave Afghanistan with the Taliban even more influential than when we went there. It does not matter that the people running Iraq today are no better than the last tinhat dictator we installed there in the 1970s. All that matters is that our military industry has a continuing string of customers willing to convert drug money or oil money into military hardware, and that the money gets into the banks.
And that our ruling class, including their little political patsies, the Clintons and the Bushes, can have their high life jet-set lifestyles. The po-black boy Obama is not "in their class", really, but will do the same bootshine for the international bankers who've been financing wars since the days of the Medicis in Italy. . . . .
The blood of American patriots means nothing to our political ruling class. The UN is not in any remote sense "democracy", it is fascsim in the pure sense that it is government run by corporate interests.
We will not have "peace" under the UN, and gathering up of guns from little people will not reduce gun production or sales, it will merely cartelize, monopolize, the business of war. It will not change who dies, in the broadest sense. It will only mean that duped patriots will die fighting in uniforms designed by the folks in "boweries", the swank hotels filled with wine and women and UN hacks. But hey, they will still have their parties if delusional po' trailer trash go out to die for their freedom.
The only way our system will be changed is if we just stop supporting the stupid wars, stop buying the propaganda, and stop dividing ourselves into their little categories and stop responding to their manipulations. No don't buy their dope, either.
Sometimes you need to see the big picture and not get mesmerized by little dots in the grain of the pic.
