Anti Russia Sentiment | Ray McGovern on America's Use of "Others" to Gain Consent For War

As the world endures another United States' war, Ray McGovern speaks to Schiller Institute Harley Schlanger on how the American government gains consent for its wars. The use of the concept of "others" is to make targeted people seem less than human. The video of their discussion is below with a link. The Special Military Operation in Ukraine is indeed a United States proxy war against Russia. It is supported by the confessions of Angela Merkel, Francois Hollande and Petro Poroshenko on the true intent of the Minsk Agreements. The concept of "other" is again used to gain the consent of the American people for another United States' imperialist war.

Ray McGovern details examples found in America's history where the concept of "others" has been used to establish hate towards a targeted group. The hate fosters a sense of superiority over the targeted group. The three; hate, sense of superiority and concept of "others" are used to establish an entitlement. Armed with a sense of entitlement, Americans consent to the government that represents them and its treatment of targeted people. Ray McGovern reveals how the concept of "others" is married to Americans' consent for their government's continuous wars.

Race Baiting - What Is Really Being Said

Bantu Stephen Biko said "The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed." There are many ways that the oppressor controls the oppressed using this weapon. One of those ways is with words. As any writer knows the choice and arrangement of words is a vital tool in relaying to the reader. It can be done consciously and/or subconsciously. During centuries of oppression of the descendants of Africa in America, African Americans have met a barrage of control via words and their assigned meanings. Wording is also used to control those who would oppress. Catchy sound bites and phrases are often used. Discussing and challenging the use of one of these phrases is the goal of this post. In weaponizing the sound bite "Race Baiting," has the oppressor successfully manipulated the minds of those who would oppress and those who are oppressed? 

Submissive Cause 

As they stalk those who prey,
The submissive
View with a steady stay.

As they captured what created prey,
The submissive
Knew where to lay.

As they devour the now prey,
The submissive
Brew a peace at bay.

Lying Mirror

The first two lines in each stanza came to me last night. They kept coming and coming preventing sleep. Finished this late today and they stopped coming.

Mirror Maze by Uktara

My mirror is lying to me.
It cannot say who I be.
Hair all sticking up
Over a mind knowledge sup.
Eyes of tire
Hiding thoughts on fire.
Showing ears that hear
What some fear.
A body plumped with age,
Housing an ancestral rage.
Hands two sided tone,
But Black to the bone.
My mirror is lying to me,
Truth does not agree.

My mirror lied to me.
Could not tell me what I see.
Could not answer who is she.
Trapped what is free,
I know best to be.
