Proposed Korean Peace Treaty Exemplifies Our Remaining Potential
THE HEADLINES ABOVE and the related text immediately below combine two very different reports as if they were separate aspects of the same story -- which in oft-unacknowledged fact they truly are, intertwined like Yin and Yang.
One report -- "a new era of peace has begun" -- applauds the inspiring progress the Koreans are making toward establishing lasting peace on their peninsula. The key to their success seems to be recognition by both Kim Jong-Un and Moon Jae-in of the extent to which the Empire and its plutocratic owners profit by keeping the ancient nation divided. The two Koreas -- culturally one nation -- are thus quietly but fiercely fighting for the independence they need to extricate themselves from the JesuNazi race to apocalypse. Thus too the apparent success-by-negotiation of the two Korean heads of state bids fair to be the most hopeful omen for human survival since the Trump/Pence Regime took office.
The second text -- "(an) influential social scientist...has declared humanity 'doomed' due to its reliance on the burning of fossil fuels and the Capitalist economic system that ensures that dependence will continue" -- describes our fate if we fail to throw off the shackles that bind us to the Capitalist juggernaut. Ultimately, every one of these shackles are traceable to Abrahamic doctrines, especially the belief Earth is no more than a notably sadistic trial court to which the sons of god are sent to prove their worthiness for heaven. (The misogynistic wording of the preceding sentence, like the biblical tract to which it links, accurately portrays the zero-tolerance male supremacy at the core of all Abrahamic doctrines.) That's why the Capitalists -- whom the Christians worship as exemplars of their cruel god -- ignore our pleas to stop their depredations. Why bother to prepare for a nonexistent future? Not only do the Capitalists continue their obscene quest to wring profit from ecocidal ruin; the JesuNazis provide the Earth-is-evil rationale (scroll down to the 10th and 11th grafs) that enables the Capitalists to escalate their war on our Mother Earth. Both groups -- Capitalist eco-rapists and Christian fanatics -- behave as if she -- not they -- were the sole reason the planet is turning hostile to sentient life. Obviously they have concluded that as a species our only remaining human hope is to die, pampered to senselessness, amidst an orgy of greedy acquisition.
But the dramatic breakthrough Moon Jae-in and Kim Jong-un have seemingly accomplished on the Korean Peninsula -- a feat that only a few days ago we were being told was impossible but is nevertheless relentlessly demanded not just by Koreans but by all mindful peoples of the world -- gives us a little taste of what we might do if we truly put our minds and bodies to it. Yes, it's still too soon to jump and cheer, but most inside sources say the positive signs are undeniable. The question of course is whether the Empire -- which depends on its South Korean presence to perpetuate a big chunk of profit for its military-industrial vassals -- will crush detente as it has so many times in the past.
If the majority of us begin doing as the Koreans began doing long before this (now-prophetic) report was published in 2016 -- that is, joining hearts and hands to save our planet from apocalypse whether thermonuclear or environmental -- we might just yet survive.
Frankly I think what happened at Panmunjom on Friday is the most promising, hope-inspiring omen we've seen here on this tragically afflicted planet since 9/11 gave the Empire its long-sought rationale for flooring the accelerator on its 84-year drive toward global fascism.
