The Group of Seven held a de facto war summit in Hiroshima, a place
that is synonymous with the horror and evil of war.
The United States-led "Group of Seven" cabal held one of their
increasingly meaningless jamborees this weekend in the Japanese city
of Hiroshima. The posturing of solemnity by these warmongering elites
in a place that represents the ultimate barbarity of American
imperialism is not only sickening in its hypocrisy and profanity. The
evident lack of awareness and shame of these charlatans is a sure sign
that their privileged historical charade is coming to an end.
American President Joe Biden took time out from his nation's
collapsing economy and scandals over his rampant family corruption to
attend the G7 summit in Japan. He was joined by so-called leaders from
Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and Canada as well as the premier of
the host nation, Fumio Kishida. Joining the lackeys was the European
Union's chief ventriloquist doll, Ursula von der Leyen, and Ukrainian
comedian-turned-arms-dealer, aka "president", Vladimir Zelensky.
The proceedings began with a cynical and disingenuous "dedication" at
the Hiroshima Peace Park whose centerpiece is the Genbaku Dome, the
iconic spectral ruin caused by the US atomic bombing in 1945. The very
gathering of leaders at this sacred place is the same people who are
criminally pushing the world toward another conflagration.
Biden and his cronies soon dispensed with hollow talk about "peace"
and "nuclear disarmament" to make the G7 summit a rallying call for
more hostility toward Russia and China. There were plans for more
economic warfare (sanctions) against Moscow, which was vilified as
usual for "unprovoked aggression" against Ukraine. There were pledges
of supplying more weapons to the powder keg that the US and its Nato
partners have created in Ukraine. There were high-handed dismissals of
international diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict, which have
been proposed by China, and Latin American and African nations.
The US-led G7 camarilla also made their hate fest a forum for drumming
up more hostility toward China, accusing Beijing of building up
nuclear arms and threatening the world.
In short, the Group of Seven held a de facto war summit in Hiroshima,
a place that is synonymous with the horror and evil of war.
Seventy-eight years ago, on the morning of August 06 1945, at 8:15 am,
the US Air Force Enola Gay B-29 bomber dropped the atomic bomb on the
city. The resulting death toll would be 140,000, mainly civilians,
many of them instantly incinerated, others dying from horrendous burns
and radiation poisoning. A second bomb was dropped on Nagasaki three
days later.
History has shown that there was no military need to use such weapons
of mass destruction. Official American reasoning ostensibly about
hastening the end of the Pacific War can now be seen as a flagrant
lie. The bombs were deliberately used by the United States in a
demonstration of state terrorism especially directed at its wartime
ally, the Soviet Union. Arguably, these grotesque genocidal crimes
sealed the beginning of the Cold War. This horrific demarcation was
how the US-led Western imperialist system would try to control the
postwar world.
The same deplorable and criminal Cold War mentality persists among the
US rulers and their Western minions. Washington needs wars and
conflict to maintain its untenable hegemonic ambitions along with its
Western satraps who are equally complicit. The barbarous power
structure can only be sustained by "ideological projections"
designating "enemies" and "threats" that, in turn, provide cover for
the otherwise unacceptable barbarism and warmongering. The Soviet
Union was the "enemy", then it became "Islamic terrorists", and now
it's Russia and China.
The ideological projection also casts a narcissistic image of America
and its Western allies as benevolent, peace-loving, democratic,
law-abiding, and so on. It's an almost incredible feat of global
gaslighting and inversion of reality; made possible largely by mass
disinformation via the Western corporate media/propaganda system.
Thankfully, that charade is becoming threadbare too.
One indicator this week was a study by the respected Brown
University's Cost of War project which estimated the number killed
just over the past two decades from US-led wars at 4.5 million. All
told, since the end of World War Two estimates of deaths from American
wars of aggression around the world are in the order of 20~30 million.
No other nation in history comes close to the destructiveness of US
power, which laughably declares itself the "leader of the free world",
the "democratic upholder of rules-based order".
The United States has devolved into a monstrous imperialist rogue
state that is addicted to war, conflict, mass killing, and even
threats of annihilation in order to prop up its corporate capitalist
economy. Its accumulated record $31 trillion of national debt speaks
of the chronic disease and its moribund dollar lifeline.
Yet, Washington's ideological pretensions - sustained and promulgated
by a subservient corporate media/propaganda system - have the absurd
audacity to paint Russia, China, and other nations as "threats" to
international peace.
The war in Ukraine has been at least nine years in the making. Even
Nato chief Jens Stoltenberg brazenly admits the preparation for war
against Russia since the CIA-backed coup in Kiev in 2014. The war is
playing out now in a way that vividly manifests the psychopathic logic
of the US rulers and their Western lackeys. Britain has emerged as
Uncle Sam's righthand henchman for provoking escalation, the latest
provocation to Russia being the supply of long-range Storm Shadow
cruise missiles capable of striking Crimea. Already, Russian civilians
have been casualties from these British munitions. This is like Part
Two of the slaughter-fest madness of Britain's Charge of the Light
Brigade in the Crimea War (1853~1856). Britain's Prime Minister Rishi
Sunak is another contemptible diversity cut-out figure. Dweebs like
him, Biden, Scholz, Trudeau, Macron, Meloni, and Von der Leyen should
be marched off to the dock for war crimes.
The relentless logic of war compelled by American hegemonic ambitions
means that the world is being pushed to the brink of world war again.
The same imperialist tendencies that created two previous world wars
are reaching fever-pitch again.
Hiroshima is an obscene reminder of war and in particular US-led war.
It is truly disturbing that an American president and his Western
elite flunkies were paying homage to victims of an atomic holocaust
while at the same insanely making plans for intensifying aggression
toward Russia and China.
The arrogant American rulers have never even offered an apology for
Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Indeed, they persist in claiming
righteousness. Biden over the weekend added insult to travesty when he
declared that Japan would be offered "protection" from America's
"nuclear umbrella" against alleged Chinese expansionism. This was
stated by the leader of a nation that is ringing China with military
bases, missile systems, naval firepower, and nuclear-capable bombers.
Japan's abject premier Fumio Kishida actually thanked Biden and
declared that the US was a force for peace in the world.
In any case, the G7 is becoming a global irrelevance. It is a relic of
former American imperial might. The "rich club" used to command half
of the world's economy, it is now down to 30 per cent and falling. The
emerging multipolar world led by China, Russia, the Global South, and
many others, the BRICS, ASEAN, ALBA, EEA, and SCO, are all testimony
to the waning American Empire and its rapidly declining dollar
dominance. The G7 doesn't even make any pretence about helping the
global economy and development. It has become a bellicose vehicle
emitting desperate warmongering by a crumbling hegemonic system.
Only in the fairytale realm of Western media/propaganda could such a
vile charade at Hiroshima be projected. To the rest of the world, it
is utterly sickening.
