I have developed a running theory about why WWII was really fought, and how it pertains to today's conflicts.

::::::::

I was always told that World War II was the good war, and it was a war that had to be fought. I began to notice that the US goes to war about every twenty years or so and I began to wonder why. I was watching the History Channel the other day and a show came on about the life of Franklin Roosevelt. I found it intriguing that Roosevelt was communicating with Winston Churchill BEFORE he became Prime Minister. I also found it intriguing that the man who intercepted their messages and threatened to expose them was busted for spying. Before Churchill became prime minister he was talking to Roosevelt about going to war with Hitler.

Admittedly Hitler and Tojo were both tyrants. It could be argued that the British Empire itself was tyrannical. Stalin was a tyrant who invaded the very same countries Hitler did with barely a whimper from the West. What was really wrong with Hitler and Tojo other than the war propaganda we have been fed all these years? My contention is this. Hitler and Tojo threatened the British Empire. They were actually destroying British strongholds in all the countries they invaded. The Egyptians welcomed Hitler because they were sick of the British. Asians saw another Asian power reeking havoc on their British conqueror and longed for the day when they would throw the British off. The Americans basically replaced the British Empire by encircling the globe with military bases.

On a side note oil companies were British and American. They had a stranglehold on the world's supply of oil. Oil was used against the Japanese.
The two great threats to the Anglo-American domination of the world were stopped and heavily militarized with American forces.

Okay. So what does that have to do with what is going on today? The Anglo-British empire is threatened again. The two threats are China and India. The way the empire hopes to maintain its stranglehold on the world is to control the world's oil. Iran trades with China and India. THAT is what is wrong with Iran. An oil pipeline is being built through Afghanistan to divert oil from China and India.

Problem is of course that China owns the empire and that through alternate technologies oil is no longer necessary. China through its purchase of treasuries controls the US. What we are witnessing right now is the downfall of the Anglo-British empire. The new world order so often spoken about was the hope that the Anglo-British empire would control everything even down to what was traded and what was grown. The reality, however, is that we are seeing this empire undone.

 

I enjoy writing about political/ economic events, and I am especially concerned about the US as a warlike nation. I would like to see this nation turn itself around from a conquering nation in both commerce and war to a nation of peace. I hope that (more...)
