PRESCIENCE and THE NUMBERS GAME

Ironic, isn't it?
I have to laugh at myself.
Just two days ago, on Thursday, I ended my post, below, with the following three sentences, predictions, quoting myself:

"...One obvious, clear POSSIBILITY to me.

Declare a "state of emergency" caused both by external and internal "terrorist threats" abroad and at home.
And, then, institute compulsory, Fascist "universal national service."

One would think I was prescient.

But, of course, I did and could not know when I wrote the above/below it would be the very next day, on Friday, Xmas Day, that another prearranged "terrorist" plot occurs, like our mysterious shooting at Fort Hood, all conveniently connected to Yemen.
I have done numerous posts regarding the economic interests competing in Yemen and will not bother repeating it now.
See my post about Yemen from October 31, 2009:

In hindsight, though, the timing is obvious.

A religious holiday with all its abundant symbolism, a slow news day/week, a time when everybody's guard is let down, the stock market is closed, etc.
A good time.

Besides, we have our escalating Middle East proxy wars, confrontation and Iran/Iraq's destabilization.

I DID promise you all, sometime ago, Iran's Mullah regime and pipsqueak, upstart Revolutionary Guards are NO match with Morgan Stanley's First Persia Fund and his/their international NAZI connections.

Speaking of NAZIS, since most everybody plays the numbers game, I thought I would throw around some numbers today, myself.

Let us all participate in a thought experiment, as Einstein liked to call it, an exercise.

IN WWII, it is ESTIMATED, 30 MILLION RUSSIANS DIED ALONE.

Then, IF I recall correctly, approximately 60 MILLION died in WWII, encompassing the Russian figure, above.

I do not know, however, IF the preceding number includes the Pacific Front as well the European one.

But, for the moment, let's just leave it at the above.

That's a large number, in and of itself.

But, then, without ANY further information, let us just argue that for every ONE person who died, there are/were AT LEAST 4 other people, DIRECT family members, affected.

That is just an average, obviously.
A mother, father, wife, husband, grandparents, children. Other relatives. So, a multiple of 4 for 60 million dead. That is 240 million more directly affected. Plus the 60 million who died. So, 300 million, taken together.

Then, there are those who did not die, who survived, but, were disabled for life, suffered severe and/or minor ailments, problems, disease, wounds, emotional, physical, psychological stress, complications, rape, torture, dismemberment, starvation, imprisonment, whatever.

So, let's just estimate for every ONE person who died, there must have been at least one more survivor who suffered from so many other complications like those above.
That's another 60 million.

So, let's round it off to 350 million, combined.

Then, of course, we have entire countries, cities, industries, infrastructure, civilizations, TOTALLY demolished, flattened, unrecognizable, uninhabitable.

I do not know the number of displaced persons wandering around at the end of WWII.

But, again, for arguments sake, let's just round off the above number, 350 million, including displaced persons, to 400 million.
We are getting close, not to far from, a half billion.

We really could reasonably argue that the ENTIRE populations of Western, Central, Eastern Europe, Asia, the Eurasian continent, COMBINED, were, for the most part, affected in varying degrees, more or less, traumatized.

That would be an accurate and true statement.

I do NOT count the US, Canada, South America, more southern, middle parts of continental Africa, Australia because these continents were NOT impacted DIRECTLY as were those in the THEATRE OF WAR.

Nor were their militaries proportionally a LARGE part of the above statistics.

Furthermore, the above numbers come almost on the heels, NOT LONG AFTER, a previously devastating war in the same area, WWI.

What would be the numbers and trauma taken together, WWI and WWII?

And, then, of course, we can combine those numbers and add to it slow deaths subsequent to WWII related to massive global poverty, malnutrition, housing, disease, illness from more imperialist war, dislocation and counter-revolution.
That has been ESTIMATED at two billion people more or less.

In ALL cases, above, it is/was PRIVATE CAPITAL, profit, greed, imperialism and the SAME interests now at work.

So, you see, what's a few million more or less to them.
