WAR…WILL WE EVER LEARN?

BTHC January 2026 Blog

From the beginning of time, conflict and fear of conflict has been used to accumulate power and exert control. From prehistoric to Biblical times, war has been ever present. Why? What makes mankind so vulnerable to fighting? Has our narrow-minded thinking allowed us to succumb, over and over, to the fear of being conquered, so much so that we can't see through the “Cloak of War"? War, fighting or even the threat of a fight makes people cower and worry. By now you would think that societies have matured enough to see the real “smoke and mirrors” plan of war. Wars are created to control the masses! From the dawn of time, a few powerful elites have used the perception of War to promise “protection” for small bands of cave people, small villages, cities and countries. Individuals always succumb to the fear of pain, allowing “strong” (or evil-minded) leaders to promise protection in return for allegiance. When War or the threat of fighting takes hold, people everywhere willingly relinquish their freedom and rights in order to be “saved”. This process makes it very easy for a small number of “controllers” to exploit the fear. What better way to keep everyone “in-line”. Controlling the masses isn't the only advantage; if you have a strong personality and you can get enough people to fear for their lives you can be a “TOP DOG”. With the war monger “leaders” position there is also the promise of unbelievable wealth. Whoever controls the “fear factor" can profit beyond comprehension. Look back at any war, right up to the present. When will we see through this farce? Why are we so easily manipulated? Most importantly, what can we collectively do to stop this vicious cycle? Will we ever mature as a society to substitute War with meaningful Peace? How can we make lasting peace profitable, so profitable that war is no longer necessary. Can we ever generate enough resources to feed the hungry, eliminate disease and motivate “future leaders” to take the world to new heights? We can only hope!!!

Note: It should be noted that this blog was written the day before the bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities (June 21, 2025). In light of much more recent events that will hopefully lead to world peace … maybe …just maybe the prospects of true peace will finally be more desirable and maybe even more profitable than war. One strong leader has emerged. Will the rest of the world leaders follow the lead? Will true peace replace war? It will if those in power see the “Profitability of Peace”.

A new direction?? Let’s hope and pray.
