RESURRECT DEAD ON PLANET JUPiTER

The root of all evil.

Today I would like to share something very important. This important thing will save you a lot of time and energy in the future. It digs to the core of a serious issue and states it in simple terms. It’s hardly academic, although it may take years of academic study before you realize that it’s true.

This big sweeping thing is simply that: all wars of all time have all been fought over 2 things. Those 2 things are land and resources. No war has ever been fought over anything else. For example no war has been fought over religion. If someone starts a war and says it’s about religion, even if they themselves convince themselves that they’re fighting a war over a religious principle, they aren’t. It’s really just about land and resources. Of course soldiers can be made to go kill and die in the name of God, but their leaders know what they’re actually fighting for. Those things are land and resources.

Bin Laden’s war against the United States? He became vehemently anti-U.S. when we installed permanent bases in the Middle East. (Land) He said we were trying to control Middle East oil. (resources) Of course that is what we actually are doing. Our civilization needs energy. It’s as simple as that. Sure bin Laden doesn’t want us in the holy lands of Islam, (wait did I say lands?)

World War I was the war to end all wars because people killed and died en masse for land without resources. (nationalism) Borders became lines of national pride. (illusion) Even if there was no strategic reason a particular medieval castle should fall within French or German control hundreds of thousands of poor bastards died in single battles just for the right to claim it. People realized that this was pointless and meaningless and called World War I the war to end all wars.

Israel is really just a piece of land. The idea of “pushing the Jews into the sea” is really just a way of saying “pushing the Jews into not-land.”

Ideologies are really just fancy things to write about when what you’re really talking about is land and resources. Vietnam and communism? We were afraid the Soviets would wrest control of Southeast Asia (a stupid and mistaken idea in itself) from U.S. hegemony. Land and resources. Communism, the form of government that threatens the people who control resources? The form of government was secondary to the fight. How about from the other side of that one? The Cuban Revolution of 1959? That was about Cuba (land) and control of industry, or in Cuba’s case, sugar. (it’s main resource)

World War II? Control of Europe. Civil War in the United States? The North didn’t just let the South go without a fight. Civil War in Iraq? Mexican American War? Spanish-American War? Crusades? The Visigoths sacking Rome? Egypt conquering the Hittites? A bunch of chimps smashing rival chimp clans’, chimp skulls in when they encroach on each others territory and therefore resource pool? Land and resources. Thank you and goodnight.
