If a country is “the exceptional country,” it means that all other countries are unexceptional. If a people are “indispensable,” it means other peoples are dispensable.
-Paul Craig Roberts. The Threat Posed to International Relations By The Neoconservative Ideology of American Hegemony, Address to the 70th Anniversary of the Yalta Conference, Hosted by Institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences and Moscow State Institute of International Relations, Moscow, February 25, 2015.
In 1992 Paul Wolfowitz stated the neoconservative doctrine of American world supremacy:
“Our first objective is to prevent the re-emergence of a new rival, either on the territory of the former Soviet Union or elsewhere, that poses a threat on the order of that posed formerly by the Soviet Union. This is a dominant consideration underlying the new regional defense strategy and requires that we endeavor to prevent any hostile power from dominating a region whose resources would, under consolidated control, be sufficient to generate global power.”
*War is a Racket.
It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.
A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small “inside” group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.
Another Racket.
The Churches of God. Unable to get along as one family, the Armstrong group(s) have continued to divide and fragment. Now divided into hundreds of groups, each with it’s own variation of doctrine, this religious movement from nearly a century ago now faces it’s demise. Like in war, the COG’s go after the financial assets of their enemies. Each group seeks hegemony over the other. Grasping, clutching and full of enmity towards one another, praying for the death of other competitors, they copy the worst possible model of humanity one can find. The neoconservative.
These groups consider themselves the exceptional among men. The special and called out ones of God. The indispensable people whom God has chosen thru his false prophet to carry on with the “work” so that Jesus will return and that they will be appointed rulers over the earth. Imagine, these people as rulers?
In the meantime as they wait for Jesus to make his final appearance, they bid their time trying to increase their wealth by building campuses, and recruiting new tithe slaves for the family farm in order to pay for it. Such a waste of time and resources. So much like the waste created by war. A microcosm of the world they are. No different from the mind of a common man.
Realization.
Beset by war, and by the will to survive, mankind can triumph over the behaviors of the past. What is needed is a common focus of who we are. Whether you believe in creation or evolution, the fact is we are all related and share this earth together. For those who are self seeking, living for themselves, this is not possible. They will walk all over you and your family for the sake of profit. They will directly or indirectly kill to maintain an organization. A organization that brings in millions of dollars. A organization that controls peoples lives through deceit, steering them as they will in any direction they so desire. We should only view these groups as we do any secular organization. View them as the “Armstrong Religious Industrial Complex”
And like the industrial military complex, the church (Armstrong Religious Industrial Complex) is for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. For out of religion comes a few men who make huge fortunes. Indeed, religion is a racket.

“The Same Parents”
We all had the same parents
Many million years ago
Why can’t we live in freedom
Without hunger, with no war?
At the beginning we all had
One mother and one father
That’s where we’re descending from (attention)
I don’t, I don’t understand why so much hate (attention)
Between races, and religions
It’s mad, insane
I don’t understand (amazing)
Why it has to be like that? (incredible experience)
