The Chaos: Let it keep on burning?

There are many events. But, the major event is chaos. In creating this, the hegemon is reaching their objective, because their objective is not to win a war, or to create anything positive. Their objective is complete divide and rule. This is a way of keeping yourself in a position of power by causing disagreements among other people so that they are unable to oppose you.

In Russia we have across the border terrorism attacks. Yes, everyone that is commenting says that this will not change the sequence of events in the long run. But in the short run, the damage that it does is to make Russia look like they cannot protect their borders, they divide the Russian society and manage, even if miniscule, to change the attention of Russia from a successful SMO, to a new objective, which is protecting their borders from terrorism. The narrative spreads and continues and the fires burn.

It does not matter if this narrative is on the long term hopeless, it matters that for now, we live in chaos.

In Palestine we have the brutal Palestinian killing fields genocide continuing every day. Every now and again, an attempt at a discussion of ceasefire is put into the common discussion sphere, and the division starts and the narrative has a new impetus to keep burning. If that burns down, a media leak is continued by leaking imminent attacks with nukes.

We have seen this in the Russian context, and we are now seeing this in the Palestinian context. Can you see yet that it is the same planning heads that are steering these narrative fires? You can go through every kinetic or color revolution event in our world today, that is it! That is the method. From chaos comes order yes, and that is the hope of the hegemon .. that they can grab pieces of the chaos and enforce their order.

This is not new, but I have never seen so many journalists and commentators talking about so many things, and few of them consider this. Pepe Escobar sees clearly. Alastair Crook sees clearly. There are others. The rest is rolling around in the chaos and trying to come to something, any conclusion that will make sense. And the further we go, the more the chaos and the less the sense.

There are two ways (more of course) that we can reason. We can reason from a particular event and try and come up with a general trope. We can also reason from the general and try and make sense of the particular small events. I’m talking about deductive and inductive reasoning. At this moment, none of these solid methods work, unless we have someone that is skilled in utilizing this methodology. The ‘Do as we say, or no toys for you’ diplomacy is in full swing.

We need a third way, and that is to deprive the chaos from firewood and withstand the narrative without falling into the pitfalls. Both Putin, as well as Hamas announced that they will not be taking part in ceasefire negotiations. What that means is that the two major wars are continuing until the fire burns out. What that means for the narrative is that it has additional firewood to keep on burning for a short while, but then, there is no more firewood.  We all know, Netanyahu does not want a ceasefire, but a larger war against Iran, hopefully with practical military help from the US.   He does not care about the hostages.  It does not help anyone to holler that Iran has to retaliate.  It helps nothing to futurecast in terms of what Iran will do.  It is between the devil and the deep blue sea because Netanyahu wants a war.  Iran does not and it is playing it very close to its chest.  The Judeo-Messianisic ideology is built on dreams from old biblical myth and there is no profit in tearing that apart as if it will dissipate the chaos.

It is time to say a resounding NO! For a site like ours, this is a difficult stone to chew. The more we post, the more we grow, as people come along and want to read everything. But the more we post about those particular events (people do want to know what is happening and they feel viscerally that they are not getting what they need!), the more we participate in the chaos.

This is my thinking path today. How do we at globalsouth.co, put ourselves above the fray of chaos?

Any comments and suggestions are welcome.

Pepe Escobar wrote a book a few years ago that accurately describes America to a T: an Empire of Chaos. That is, the United States is deliberately fomenting conflict, division, and chaos around the world–both within and around those strategically important nations that are capable of resisting American world empire.… Read more »

“How do we put ourselves above the fray of chaos?” I see the Bhagavad Gita as the ideal guide for this question. If I remember correctly, Krishna told Arjuna to fight the good fight, but to not be attached to the battle or the outcome. To see no joy in… Read more »

we cannot put ourselves above the fray, at least for long. The ongoing events are so comprehensive, affecting the lives of all humans, and parts of it are so distressing, like the satanic daily ritual of the Annihilation of Palestinians, that we get sucked back in time after time.  So… Read more »

There are two main principles. The first is that we live our own lives. So doing what suits you. Second, that we make ourselves comfortable. So doing what pleases you. If by doing so you make others and the world more pleasant, that’s a bonus. In the context of the… Read more »

“But, the major event is chaos.” Yes. Prior to the neo-cons taking control, the primary objective of conservatives was stability. The problem with that reversal is that the gains are all short-term and the future becomes unpredictable and dangerous. We can only assume that they knew this, but relied on… Read more »
