America's "World War" Factory

The US “World War” Factory.
M. Asadi

The US elite never settled after WW2 to the idea of converting their booming war-time, war-footing economy into a peace-time economy. For them war was the ultimate rescuer of their capitalist system from its eminent intrinsic doom (as they saw it) to socialism and communism, whose props they were forced to incorporate after the New Deal that rescued their system from the Great Depression (which killed capitalism long before the demise of the Soviet Union's "communism"). As a result of this, these elite even after the war ended planned and sought to retain the same war-time economic structure by inventing (or manufacturing) new World Wars and then advertisement-selling them to their own public as well as the world by propaganda and using their peons around the globe (the dictators they supported) to change the global agenda to convert this fiction into a fact by virtue of created circumstance that once created take on a dynamic of their own.

So the Pakistani dictators fought America's wars, hosted 3 million refugees of the war's (the Afghan/Soviet war) creation (compared to the 6000 Iraqis that the US is hosting after directly invading and destroying that country) as well as the hundreds of thousands of their "Holy Warriors", whose only literary achievement was reading propaganda books published in Nebraska (even though they had not read the Quran), created networks for all kinds of criminal activity, arms and drug pushing nation wide- the war killed over 2 million Afghans, maimed millions more, then they left these thugs in a vacuum, who turned on each other and the Pakistan Army was given the green light to conquer Afghanistan under the Taliban banner, to limit Iranian influence, using the same networks that were left by the American agencies and the various supporting intelligence agencies who received hundreds of millions in blood money.

Therefore when the Third World War, which was mostly a cold war or proxy war (which started immediately after the Second World War) ended (or fizzled out with the demise of the Soviet Union), the Fourth was needed to keep from structurally changing a war-time economy, for whose purpose just like in the Third World War, an ally (the Soviet Union allied fascist fighters in the World War 2, now became the “Communist Menace”) was converted into a convenient foe (the Mujahideen freedom fighters are now the terrorist Al-Qaida and Taliban), demonized using all kinds of propaganda and lies, with deliberate escalation sought through provocation and material support to their opponents to build them up. Once the opponent was built up, (the Soviets in the case of the Third) this factory-created World War developed a dynamic of its own, helping the US political economy to its (the Soviet Union's) own detriment. Similar building up of the opponent is what is making the US deliberately drag Pakistan into this equation of the Fourth World War, by escalation and possibly a handing over, though their methodology, of Pakistan to the Jihadists . The momentum of their War on Terror is dying out in Afghanistan and Iraq, so now they need to revive it for which purpose they are escalating this war into Pakistan.

Have no doubt about it, only a World War is what the US elite seek, the smaller skirmishes are part of that wider war, of a political economy whose heart beats only when there is continuous war without end. The Second World War saved the US capitalist system from the coming doom (as they saw it) of communism and socialism as fact, yes, the Second and not the Third World War (the Cold War) was a fight against communism and socialism because the capitalist system was dead without socialist props that were holding it up, props of the New Deal that were extremely distasteful to the corporate elite. Now in a system dependant on war, the Fourth World War (the Global War on Terror) is the life support their capitalist system needs to stay alive, the US will therefore not allow itself a quick victory in this war, it will not allow any peace or diplomacy to succeed, it will only seek escalation. The third physical casualty in this farcial 4th World War (after Afghanistan and Iraq), will be Pakistan, then the stage will be set to further escalate it into Iran.
