He said Fusion festival (Germany) was the most amazing thing he had ever seen… sixty thousand people over five days with no arguments, no fights or aggression, and interestingly no discernible security presence. In Sun Tzu’s ‘Art of War’ old man Sun states that ‘the art of deception is as easy as merely allowing the projections of others to exist without acting in response. Action implies reaction’ . By perpetuating military presence internationally the US military effectively militarises the world. To those members of economic interest in circles of weapons production and sale, this is a survival strategy that is much like most consumerism…it is based on fear and kept in line by constantly hearkening to the issues of security and threat for buoyancy.
(We do not need this, we are not afraid, we will not attack, we will not even defend our-selves, but we will stand together and defend life itself.)
