Generational Dynamics

The 'anti-war movement' in World War I

Antiwar writings began appearing in both Britain and Germany. In England in 1917, Wilfred Owen, a 24-year-old soldier, wrote "Anthem for Doomed Youth":

What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?

  Only the monstrous anger of the guns.

  Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattle

Can patter out their hasty orisons. 

No mockeries for them; no prayers nor bells,

Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs,—

The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells;

And bugles calling for them from sad shires.

What candles may be held to speed them all?

  Not in the hands of boys, but in their eyes

Shall shine the holy glimmers of goodbyes. 

  The pallor of girls' brows shall be their pall;

Their flowers the tenderness of patient minds,

And each slow dusk a drawing-down of blinds.

Ironically, Owen died in 1918 in the same week that WW I ended. The "Doomed Youth" that he described have become known as the Lost Generation, in the same generational archetype as today's Generation-X.

DYI: 

The War on Terror since 911 (6,251 combat deaths) was and continues to be a total fraud.  Almost no thinking American citizen believes the cooked up, errors, fabrications, and gross omissions – Salomon Brothers (building #7) Building openly admitted on camera owner Larry Silverstein having his 47 story high rise “pulled” jargon for demolition and then never mentioned in the 911 Commissions final report.  National Institute of Standards and Technology (budget $964 million) gave us their final briefing – or should I say dog and pony show – inferring that Sir Isaac Newton’s multiple engineering laws did not apply to the Twin Towers or the fact that no steel structure building ever has collapsed due to fire except the Salomon Brothers high rise.  The list of outright lies and fabrications are endless; as more and more of our citizens are coming to the conclusion this wretched history was an inside job planned by our own government and executed by the Israeli Mossad.

What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?

Bring Our Troops Home!

Our troops are neither cannon fodder nor mercenaries; and yet today they are being used all for the pursuit of oil and gas and to feather the profits of the Military Industrial Complex which grinds down the economy due to our non-stop war based footing!  This is just one of many aspects of our fraudulent government/corporate directed elite controlled shadow government and orchestrated by the Deep State. 

A Christmas present to remember!  Bringing the troops home would be a great first step returning America one step closer to our Founding Father’s vision as a country ruled by Constitutional Law.  Now that’s a Christmas to remember!
