End of War

Raymond Walden, Avignon - France, 2019

The eighth of May 1945:

War was over, so we are told,

but was it?

It was the year I did arrive,

soon I'll be 75

and, of course, I've considered it

all my life growing old.

Did you ever hear of a peace treaty, about its signing?

Can you mark one year after without war?

Proxy wars are stirred up by former victors till now, very undermining

and tormenting the world at many places as ever before.

Though I was born into this ruined Germany,

had to flee later from East to West,

where I experienced freedom and Human Rights' philosophy,

I've lived, for sure, in a democracy – one of its best!

So I feel grateful to all people in the world, where so ever,

who struggle for liberty, honesty and emancipation.

I would support no discrimination and warmongering, never!

I stand up for true humanity, solidarity and education.

But I recognize democracy worldwide is dying,

money, nationalism, weapons and violence are ruling instead,

preachers and ideologists are denying

what is going on in a real peace-loving head.

I feel free to honor all heroes of consequent liberty

and dedicate to them all – famous and unknown ones – 
my document of peace and dignity

by this Blog of Cosmonomic Philosophy.

May enlightenment improve

and prevent war by wisdom and empathy.

Where, otherwise, would we move

in this present pandemic agony?

Europe's Pool Members

Europe surely is multifarious and nevertheless so unable to learn.

This is obviously owed to the fact, that we face a territory of petty states, ever since equipped with just small-minded leaders of the propagated megalomania, similar in warlike habits and competing in meanness and despise of mankind and particularly even in exporting such pseudo-culture into the world by merciless subjection, exploitation and destruction.

Religions and ideologies traditionally are grafted upon humans and are causing masses of followers by adequate propaganda and disinformation stirring up the slaughtering of each other by feeble ideas of values and honors.

Last World War II has never been ended correctly under international law, there is no peace treaty, Germany, “made happy” by foreign troops, doesn't possess a legally passed constitution though the valid “Grundgesetz” can be interpreted quite well.

Ever since there is the enemy state clause of the UN Charter, and the whole post-war-order of Europe is based on the dictation of the divided victorious powers. Deliberate silence prevails on this and so there is no common awareness of the peoples' actual living on a powder keg. Germany, like the far away Japan, doesn't even have the full sovereignty under international law.

All this has to be recognized when struggling for a liberal and peaceful Europe which, as the initial European Union, of course portrays enormous but often underestimated advantages.

But now this all is tottering again considerably, not least because of power-strategic behaviors concerning new additional members to the overstretched and really unable construct for democratic voting.

Is there, at all, any European identity?

Perhaps you are a European by chance because you were born on this continent. But this doesn't mean identity. You must spend time with culture that has grown in Europe (literature, art, music, lifestyle, infrastructure and so on). Being fixed just on one country will lead automatically to nationalism with just this fixed and narrow horizon. The same is true with religion and ideology which inevitably turn into the faith of being chosen and to the delusion of being superior.

Considering such background it is clear that the imagination of a “Europe of Fatherlands” is absolutely unsatisfying because of its regards of domestic “separating” interests that are inferior in international competitions from the outset.

A “Europe of Fatherlands” is neither fish nor fowl, it bears in it, like a time bomb, the germ of nationalistic swing outs or of predominance over weaker states.

Such a deficiency may be tolerable as a transitional arrangement but only with a clear perspective to found the “United States Of Europe”.

It appears significant how such option is actually out of discussion or rather refused from the beginning.

It fits with the misery as the uprising Green Party – with their pseudo-religious neurosis of climate change – is claiming a “check of climate compatibility” before the adoption of any new law. This is describing the unity voting for an ideology which the loosing parties of the latest elections want to follow now. You may call it enforced conformity: “Green” defines the direction, in some former times it was “Brown” or “Red”.

Can this really become standard!

At the same time they are celebrating in unison scientifically and otherwise unsuspecting children on street demonstrations as “politically interested and engaged youth”, recently accompanied by unsettled elderly people.

The tragedy increases, as there seems to be opposition by nationalistic parties only against this nonsense which stands in contradiction to any serious science. But this fact serves as reason for the stupid audacity to defame critics on the climate mania as nationalistic.

Meanwhile: Nature protection is needed urgently which stands for human protection as well. It has to be performed on the basis of clean and ideology-free science and technology.

Conclusion: The “Europe of Fatherlands”, under cosmonomic aspects, is facing difficult times, because it shows, in this conflict situation, a lack of world-openness that could be applied by a united state structure only, by the sum of all its cultural resources – in a balanced partnership with mighty but not so enlightened and not always fairly acting competitors on the globe.

The Question Mark of our Presence

“America first”, this old covered, but from now on propagated truth in eye-catching honesty is bearing indigestible fruit of an intentionally failed new contractual agreement for Europe and the world after the end of World War II.

There is no peace treaty between the former enemies, but for Germany a UN-enemy state clause, the German “Grundgesetz” is no constitution that has been confirmed democratically by the people, and still there are occupation troops in the country, “military bases” that have fatal effects worldwide.

After the significant economic growth of Germany all the not clarified problems become obvious with respect to its national sovereignty and its arising European leading role. Since many years, this is causing confusing, ideologically resinous violations of democracy in Berlin which, of course, have to be subordinate to the U.S. hegemony but which also like to serve them well in the hypocritical construction of particularly the Russian hate figure as well as all the other threat scenarios that allegedly lead mankind to the end of existence and justify any arbitrarily provoked war, including and calculating rigorous paternalism and exploitation, impoverishment, enslavement and destruction.

Nobody should claim for oneself being the incarnation of the good in (world) politics, combined with the condemning of others to be per se the evil and defined plague, never reflecting upon own guilt and failures.

The terror of the world is homemade, fueled and armed by the idiotic rulers of the superpowers and the usually corrupt “chiefs” of the depending medium and small states. Religious and nationalistic combinations are suitable at best for double standards in disguising and pretending the faithful remaining to values that traditionally motivate the people to one war and to the next.

It is felt that such stringent criticism vanishes without effect, because the usual ignorance does not understand, is refusing to know about it putting it right into the drawers of disturbing and secret keeping, or starts organizing the unscrupulous suppression and eradication.

With all the common diplomatic and undiplomatic rustling and roaring there is no hope for a long-range pacification. At the best there will be some pauses of war within the stalemate of mendacity and endangerment like, for example, during the “Cold War” in Germany, respectively in Central Europe.

World War II, indeed, has never ended, but the world was betrayed that there were two sovereign German states. The responsibility for their splitting did not rest with the more primitive East but with the West, even hastily, which also accepted the unjustified complete occupation of Eastern Europe by the Soviet Union.

When later the former Soviet Union got weaker, the West took successfully advantage in the pro-capitalistic unification of Germany that now is irritating West and East by its economic, but democracy betraying potency that is growing to the origin of enemy images.

Consensus, as ever since, seems to guide militarists, armament industries and warmongers only, in short: war profiteers.

Cosmonomic philosophy is but powerless, but does not gamble with peace and truth along ideological one-way streets, instead clear perspectives with global and universal orientation are opened in high standard humanity, much superior against the previous inbreeding scales of spirit.

You can work on this, if you will be able in such freedom.

This, certainly, is marking the interdisciplinary question mark of our presence.

Europe's Pretended Democracy

Apart from the geografically determined terminology I call Europe into question.

What is Europe, does it really exist and if, which will the prospects be?

Or is Europe just billowing like an idealistic dream on the one hand and like an unwelcome despotic and exploitative Goddess of the cheating of liberty on the other hand?

European values?

Who bravely dares when and why to define a community of values?

After this European world-history?

The world is hurt by a crushing occidental adventurism that has been performed especially in the name of a religious mission which represents a mentality of conquest and subjection that is encouriging modern but outdated madmen to follow suit.

Culture is put in the shade, if one might speak of culture at all under those disgraceful aspects.

European powers mauled each other, destroyed other peoples and landscapes, made people slaves by an unscrupulousness that is, at present, escalating worldwide as method of ruling and hegemony.

European keys to success are converted naturally into any cultural traditions whereas they address the satisfaction of greed and the stabilisation of violence and  systems of command.

European superiority arose in particular from the so-called age of rationalism which meant remarkable relaxation of religious rigidity, caused by brave intelligences that brought science and technology also in the daily life. But just this material use of the spiritual relaxation enabled the European rulers to more and more destructive military campaigns. They abused systematically the progress which they never could establish by themselves as they were bound to their dogmatic mental limitations.

Being rather upset about the disastrous impacts of the two worldwars several enlightened people developed the idea of a unified and peaceful Europe, but did they have success in really convincing the politicians and the population? Is Europe on a way of growing humanization or do we only watch a new orientation of old power structures, a further deviding between technological progress and traditional spiritual pedantic growth?

First of all there has been an exceptional long and relatively peaceful coexistence of the European states after the last worldwar. Except some compareably local armed engagements there has been silence because of the primary threat by the splitting into East and West with absolute destructive potentials on both sides. After the dissolution of the Eastern block the European Union grew stronger not only by new members but, above all, as the leading economic power on the continent.

The fascinating European idea became impressive reality by the freedom of travelling and movement of persons and goods and by commonplace collaborations that take place meanwhile as routine operations. War between Eu members seems to be absolutely impossible, one might think who isn’t watching so directly.

Europe’s philosophy, however, is marked by an unbearable lethargy of thought which should be named as what it actually is: unprincipled expediency and inability.

Opinion-making in the media and their best networks is accepted as a matter of course, media working frankly against freedom of the press, generating bogeymen, creating desinformation and concealing essential processes and events.

The European Union is neither a confederation nor a state union of equal members but is following the dictatorship of the capital which is concentrated in a few member states. Without a common constitution the EU is implementing rediculous dicisions of the European Commission like the meanwhile revised standard of the curvature of cucumbers or the valid regulation on light bulbs. A giant parliament is serving as a pseudo-democratic administrative bureaucracy designing and approving laws in favour of banks and the lobbies of oil companies and arms producers.

Traditional exploitation of the Third or Second World is part of the secret but intended procedure camouflaged by inandequate development aid or poor commercial privileges. Weapons and war are profitable business and set the course even in company  of undemocratic ruling systems, integration of rotten religious world views and the keeping on “Christian Values” that have approved as murderous state doctrines since 2000 years support with an antiquated raison of the society which lags more and more desperately behind technological progress.

Democracy and transparency are stopped ideologically by a directed religion of climate-fear-production and by a particularly German so-called “Energiewende” an absurd turnaround in energy policy. Both startegies are targeting of fat-cat payouts of every single citizen – a senseless doing of business that doesn’t appreciate and protect nature but burdens it.

Concerning rigour and unscrupulousness in enforcing capitalistic profit and growth the USA is at first position worldwide. Second is the EU which delivers the explanation for her success that is regarded by people especially in poorer countries with fictious glorification.

Of course, life will be quite comfortable in the USA or in the EU, if one has an income to dispose of, and if the person is an opportinistic or naïve fellow traveller and dogooder. If a person isn’t  in harmony with the “standard”, the exclusion will vary according to the divergence of the critical thinking by covered conceiling up to public condemnation and denunciation or even criminal prosecution.

By no means the European Union is indicating an open-minded (cosmopolitan) society but caused the establishing of numerous smaller states just in younger history, she brings nationalistic and separatist small-mindednesses into the arena and creates home-made Europhobia. The reason is in fundamental diversities concerning economic and currency affairs as well as social and foreign policy.

Some member states belong to NATO, others stay officially neutral – a mixture that culminates in Germany – which let us not forget – as there has been no peace treaty since 1945, as there is no constitution approved by the people and as there is still the enemy state clause of the UN Charta.

The unjustified war against Iraque was fought by the USA essentially from military bases in Germany where the occupators also store American nuclear weapons. (Of course, the occupation will not be called that officially towards the USA because of Germany’s vassalage.)

The enevitable question arises as to wether there is a democratic legitimation of the EU: Can the existence of this alliance of states be justified by a dictation of the capital and by the arbitrariness of administration in Brussels?

As a grandiose idea of humanity Europe, at present, is suffering from an enormous treason – and there are nowhere brave opinion leaders and philosophers bringing this to an end.

Secret services, large companies, economic strategists and war ideologists are preventing the boldest approaches on human dignity and freedom.

Some parts of Europe are performing in complacent satisfation, growth oriented and saturated. At the same time it is ignored how Africa, Latin America, large parts of Asia and even own EU members are left behind.

Up to now Europe is not able literally to jump over her antiquated shadows and to take up really humane changes such as, for example, they are drafted up in the Cosmonomic Manifesto.

Instead of this a secret and so-called Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) is negotiated with the USA. Undemocratic the methods and undemocratic the substance!

We know similar contemptuous proceedings at the Bilderberg Conferences. 
European parliament elections appear as farces against such backgrounds, as higher national dulling and camouflage of an actual decline in democracy.
