THE BARNES REVIEW

‘If a nation is to go to war, then that nation cannot afford to tell the balanced truth about the enemy nation, and anyone who does during wartime will be tried and sentenced for sedition, and possibly executed. The warmongering faction has to get its citizens mad at the enemy, and in the proper mood. It has to get its citizens to think they are fighting for the world’s good, and for Christian or other religious righteousness, and the enemy is evil and ruled by the devil. So, it was with the propaganda against Hitler and Germany, and so it has been ever since.’ – Alex S. Perry Jnr. The Barnes Review, Vol. No.1.

The Swiss scientist Jean-Jacques Babel found that during the last 5,700 years humanity fought 14,500 wars with three and a half billion dead. That is half of today’s world population. In the years 1991 for example there were 52 wars or warlike crises on this earth.

RUDYARD KIPLING

I could not dig: I dared not rob, / Therefore I lied to please the mob. / Now all my lies are proved untrue, / And I must face the men I slew. / What tale shall serve me here among, / Mine angry and defrauded young?

If any questions about why we died, tell them because our fathers lied.  – Rudyard Kipling 1865 – 1936. 

HENRY GRANTLAND RICE

‘All wars are planned by older men in council rooms apart,

Who call for greater armament and map the battle chart.

But out along the shattered field

where golden dreams turn grey,

How very young the faces were where all the dead men lay.

Portly and solemn in their pride, the elders cast their vote,

For this or that, or something else, that sounds the martial note.

But where their sightless eyes stare out beyond life’s vanished toys,

I’ve noticed nearly all the dead were hardly more than boys.’

Henry Grantland Rice.

HENRY KISSINGER

‘Military men are just dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy.’  Henry Kissinger as quoted in Kiss the Boys Goodbye: How the United States Betrayed Its Own POW in Vietnam (1990) by Monika Jensen-Stevenson and William Stevenson.
