Blind Loyalty

Norway seems incapable of cleaning up its own mess before her feudal masters are destroyed.

Tender care | Norway, along with other European countries, has shown a touching concern for Ukraine. We have probably given a hundred billion kroner of our tax money, which should have gone to health, schools, roads, police, and other welfare tasks, to Ukraine.

We have provided them with weapons, ammunition, and artillery shells. We have helped pay for heavy American weapons systems. We fly injured Ukrainians to Norway for treatment, we have opened the floodgates for refugees—closing them a little recently—and in our rhetoric, there is no limit to how sorry we are for Ukraine, which is being attacked by the horrible Russians. That is why we join in boycotting and sanctioning Russia as much as we can.

Tender care, well, not exactly | Norway, together with other countries in Europe, has not shown the same touching concern for Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran after they were exposed to an unprovoked, illegal war of aggression by Israel and the USA. We are in effect supporting Israel and the US by tacitly agreeing that Israel had the right to commit mass murder, war crimes, and genocide in self-defense. But we do not mention that people who are illegally occupied and oppressed have the right to use all means to fight their occupying power. We sit quietly and watch as Lebanon, the only country that has militarily supported the Palestinians in Gaza, is reduced to rubble.

And now Iran, an ancient civilization and great and powerful country: The US wants to crush it because Israel wants it done. Israel cannot bear living with a great and powerful country in its vicinity.

In Norway, we sit quietly and watch Iran being bombed in yet another illegal war. The situation only became critical to us when the Strait of Hormuz was closed, because then the crisis affected both the Western and the global economy. It is so much easier to protest when we ourselves are being affected.

Of course, we do not intend to condemn, boycott, or sanction Israel and the United States. Of course, we will not supply weapons to Gaza, Hezbollah, or Iran to help them beat back Israel and the US's illegal wars. And we will never consider demanding that Israel and the United States pay reparations for damage in current or past illegal wars. Norway knows which side of the fence she must stand on, and will remain faithful till the end of time.

Provoked or unprovoked? | Norway supports Israel's and the USA's war against Gaza, against Lebanon, and against Iran, as we have done previously in the wars against Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and Syria. It doesn't matter that lies, deception, disinformation, and false events were the reasons behind all the wars. Norway sees the USA as a good power that does the right thing. The others are the bad guys. It really is that simple. Those who think otherwise are pro-Russian propagandists, or anti-Semites, or friends of the Muslims, or whatever, and that's it.

Now Europe is building up a war apparatus to take over the US and NATO's war against Russia in Ukraine, to beat the Russians and force them to make a stinging reparation for the war damage in Ukraine. Behind it lies old hatred of Russia and the desire to divide Russia and distribute the pieces and the enormous resources between the USA, the EU, and the UK. The fact that this poses a risk of nuclear war does not seem to worry anyone. The US is so far from Europe that nuclear war in Europe does not worry them.

There is no doubt that the US and NATO have managed to provoke Russia into an illegal war against Ukraine. Boris Johnson called it a proxy war between Russia and the US/NATO that started because NATO was dying to expand eastwards, despite Russia saying it would pose an existential threat and despite many leading politicians saying it was madness and would lead to war. American politicians think that a proxy war is a great way to wage war against Russia, because then they avoid the loss of American soldiers; it is Ukraine that pays the price.

Because Norway is a PEACE nation? | We will actively fight Russia's provoked war, but we will not actively fight Israel's and the USA's genocide in Gaza and illegal wars against Iran and Lebanon. As is well known, the US has enabled Israel to carry out the genocide both with weapons, bombs, money, and diplomatic "protection" in the UN, and is thus directly complicit. Also, we love Israel, the people who were almost exterminated during World War II, and we love the Americans. On the other hand, we hate the Russians, or at least support Germany, Great Britain, and France in their inveterate hatred of the Russians.

Norway sees everything that Israel and the USA (and its subjects) say as the Whole and Full Truth, while everything that comes from Russia, Iran, and the Palestinians is damned lies and propaganda. It is likely that several Norwegian politicians and key figures have been bought and paid by both Israel and the American arms industry, as has been widely revealed in the USA and other countries.

Norway seems incapable of cleaning up its own mess before her feudal masters, the U.S. & Israel, are destroyed. By then, it may be too late.

True Colors | The fact that Israel and the US these days have shown their true colors has implications for what most people think about them, but this does not change the elite's admiration and support for these two regimes. Other countries, such as Canada, are now turning away from the US and are considering the possibility that their defense will be more likely to be needed against the US than against the Russians. Denmark has similar thoughts about Greenland. And some people in Norway are worrying that the US will steal our pension fund.

The leadership in the US and Israel seems to elegantly backstop all international agreements, which worries many of us. Constitutions and international law no longer appear to be worth the paper they are written on. This situation forces the world to think again. And when the regimes in both Israel and the United States appear to be blatantly lying and deceiving, when they say yes to agreements that they have no intention of keeping, when they negotiate peace while they are actually planning more war and more chaos, then there are [at least] some civilized people who step back and cautiously say: "Yes, but this is not going to work!"

At the same time, we see that democracy and freedom of expression have suffered major losses in Israel and the USA, but also in the EU. People are persecuted for speaking the truth, often with abusive and life-threatening sanctions; people risk arrest for participating in demonstrations for the Palestinians, surveillance of people who are not considered leaders has increased, and acts in violation of the constitution are carried out without problems. And we see that news broadcasts (CNN) and AI (ChatGPT) are being bought up by filthy rich Israelis. They want an end to open criticism of Israel and its atrocities. These are reminiscent of Nazi Germany.

And when Trump and Netanyahu appear in all their madness and use everything from religion and prejudice to delusions and lies, there are many in the West who shake their heads and say now it's probably soon enough, while others are waiting for the first nuclear bomb.

The way forward | "In a hundred years, all is forgotten", as the saying goes. In reality, we see that after 30 to 50 years, the truth often emerges, as it did after the Vietnam War ended. Then is became clear that it didn't start by a provocation by the North Vietnamese, but that it was the US that started this terrible war. The US created a fake event designed by admirals and generals that gave President Johnson the "legitimacy" he needed to start it. Only after 50 years the lie was revealed.

For both Iraq wars, the war against Libya, Syria, and Afghanistan, we already know a lot about the false reasons that were used as a pretext for the wars. The information about the assassination of Kennedy that should have been made public under Joe Biden is protected by a special law:

The JFK Records Act allows for a delay in the release of the information if it is deemed "necessary to protect against an identifiable harm to the military defense or intelligence operations [...] that is of such severity as to outweigh the public interest in disclosure."

Secrecy applies to all of the USA's wars, regime changes, and sabotage worldwide since the Second World War, with almost continuous bombing somewhere for almost 80 years. It concerns the arms industry's active role in creating and prolonging wars. It concerns the relationship with Israel, it concerns 9/11, of course, it concerns the corruption in the US government by Israel, and it concerns Ukraine and the reasons for the war there.

Norway supports lies and secrecy by preventing open debate with qualified, independent professionals. Those of us who want to avoid NRK's censorship must turn to alternative media.

These days, more and more people are daring to speak out against the United States. They say America always lies. Perhaps we fear the truth more than the lie. Have we spent these years of alliance on the wrong side? Have we wasted, and are we still wasting billions on the wrong cause? Shall we stop approving of, and supporting the insane atrocities of the world's greatest thug and all his minions? Where would this then take us?
