Smile, Smile, Smile

Head to limp head, the sunk-eyed wounded scanned

Yesterday's Mail; the casualties (typed small)

And (large) Vast Booty from our Latest Haul.

Also, they read of Cheap Homes, not yet planned;

For, said the paper, "When this war is done

The men's first instinct will be making homes.

Meanwhile their foremost need is aerodromes,

It being certain war has just begun.

Peace would do wrong to our undying dead, —

The sons we offered might regret they died

If we got nothing lasting in their stead.

We must be solidly indemnified.

Though all be worthy Victory which all bought,

We rulers sitting in this ancient spot

Would wrong our very selves if we forgot

The greatest glory will be theirs who fought,

Who kept this nation in integrity."

Nation? — The half-limbed readers did not chafe

But smiled at one another curiously

Like secret men who know their secret safe.

This is the thing they know and never speak,

That England one by one had fled to France

(Not many elsewhere now save under France).

Pictures of these broad smiles appear each week,

And people in whose voice real feeling rings

Say: How they smile! They're happy now, poor things.

...

Nothing has changed for decades, even centuries until now; but there is hope in that many millions can now see the façade, the lies and even comprehend the history - you can call it being awakened, a more advanced conciousiousness, moving into at least the 4th Dimension or even as THEY say, being enlightened ...

Something has happened that maybe THEY expected or not; you can see it in the uprising in the Western nations (although many will be controlled opposition) or maybe better still, look atIndia, the African nations, many Countries in Asia.

We are losing battle after battle because of the weak willed and gullible (the sheeple); but we will win the war !.

Stand tall, keep the faith (not just religion, but humanity and spirituality) and get ready ifwe must to die standing = and never bow down to them and comply.

"Every house must have lost someone."

Great article, thank you. I'll raise you another parable - the Buddhist Parable of the Mustard Seed.

If you are looking for a mustard seed from people who don't know anyone who died due to the death shots, you won't get one from me sadly. How long will it be until you won't be able to get one from anyone?

This has to stop.

Not this House

"[Edward M] House threw himself into world affairs, promoting Wilson's goal of brokering a peace to end World War I. He spent much of 1915 and 1916 in Europe, trying to negotiate peace through diplomacy. He was enthusiastic but lacked deep insight into European affairs and relied on the information received from British diplomats, especially the British foreign secretary Edward Grey, to shape his outlook. Nicholas Ferns argues that Grey's ideas meshed with House's. Grey's diplomatic goal was to establish close Anglo-American relations; he deliberately built a close connection to further that aim. Thereby Grey re-enforced House's pro-Allied proclivities so that Wilson's chief adviser promoted the British position." Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_M._House

Putting it mildly Wikipedia is an arm of like so much else, British Intelligence, which itself --- like the CIA precursor OSS it had free rein in establishing from the Rockefeller offices in NYC during WW II. But every now and then W-P allows some truth to slip by.

'Colonel' House was a part of the yet held (and doing much better than only a few realise) goal birthed by Cecil Rhodes and his cohort in reasserting British domination in world affairs and ownership of ALL of its environs. Like the CIA's formal coming out debut in Dallas November 22, 1963, the Milner's Kindergarten-Roundtable took a great sense of accomplishment in their part in fomenting WW I as much the same.

If one is of an inquisitive bent, by all means ponder just what Rhodes Scholars represent. See where it leads. Because it represents long-established goals. Across the generations. Throughout and entwined irrevocably in the "can't see the forest for the trees" many wars. And rumours of war(s)... The ever-Perfidious Albion. Always. For instance, the death of FDR: what Stalin thought---for good reason. And history? We know who gets to write it: 'officially.'

Perceptive comment. Wikipedia must be regarded as the "official version of events," the diplomatic yearbook -- not just biased but purposefully misleading, unless you are checking varieties of centipede.

Actually, Wiki gives it away. One cannot write about "brokering peace" without its precursor, "brokering war." And then the jigsaw becomes apparent.

Powerful piece. Yes. Tears. The atrocities pile up. Bad enough what has happened to hundreds of thousands of adults, and now innocent, healthy girls die of heart attacks on the hockey field. And boys too, of course. :-(((

Thank you for those poems. I haven't read them since I was a child - very moving.

I personally find Rememberance Day to be insulting. If we truly remembered we would 'declare peace' as John Lennon said. Instead, we play a quick trumpet blast for those who died in the name of furthering corporate interests and then line up the next batch of naive youth to secure an oil field or a lithium mine.
