RE: The War on Yemen Continues....

in #palnet4 years ago

So you're saying the coal in Yemen = aid from within Yemen itself, in training its own doctors by its own internal medical university.

The bombing was done by a capitalist country/empire (group of ruling capitalist countries) that control the education and training of doctors that are dangled as assets - and are needed as "aid" in heavily bombed regions like Yemen.

That's quite an interesting connection to the Laid Off Coal Miner. But I understand what you're driving at as well. In terms of the coal miner, too much coal is seen as devaluation if it is too readily available because in capitalism that would make more competitive prices in attempts to sell it. So the coal miner instead is laid off from the top of the production chain by the bosses of the mines. He cannot be paid fiat to heat his home because the people who used to pay him control the mines and laid him off. He cannot buy the substance he mined that produces the energy to heat his home from the people that stopped paying him fiat. The reserves of coal are held by capitalists while they are also paying out less fiat for the workers to purchase the very substance they mined until they have no fiat left to buy heat from the company that produces heat with the coal they mined (in essence the energy/gas company is the middle man). Once the middle man needs more coal they buy it directly from the company that laid off the miners who hold all the coal in abundance, creating a need to once more hire workers to mine more coal for heat. In essence, the fiat is just a way to middle man the hell out of miners instead of letting them control the mining and produce their own heat by burning the coal they mine directly. In this instance a "Gas company" and payment in fiat is not needed. If the mining company is a socialist middleman that tries to distribute power equally, it can simply be imposed sanctions in trade by empires that rule world trade (embargo's) leaving them with an abundance of oil like Venezuela - with nobody to sell to. The oil becomes cheap in Venezuela when sold in the country directly, but is quite expensive in capitalist countries because the emperors that make trade rules (or even shut down production by bombing hospitals) deny the ability of a country to function on its own without capitalist mediation and meddling in the process.

How horrible... There has to be a way forward. Venezuela is "Little Venice"... perhaps Italy is the solution to stop all of this. IMO - the Roman Empire still exists in laws of the West, and perhaps places in the East. But there has to be a way to prevent Western sanctions on the east as well as proxy wars by both sides (rocket attacks on military barracks of US in Iraq/on hospitals in Yemen without anyone admitting their country backed the proxy who did it)... We need to get past this all.

I'm so sickened because I see both sides. Socialism and Capitalism are exploited. What is the solution? Honesty. And also letting go of the grip on countries that desire to be different/terrorism on Western countries that worship differently than you do.

Right and Left, both are wrong and right. Centrist - yet to be achieved.

Sort:  

I am reminded only because of the translation from the Italian wikipedia page for the english named "Joachim Murat" that after Napoleon made him King of Naples in 1808, he immediately shut down the most ancient medical (school) institution of the Western world:

"After a lightning-fast military expedition that allowed him to expel the British from the island of Capri , during his brief reign, Murat founded, with a decree of 18 November 1808 , the Corps of Engineers of Bridges and Roads (at the origin of the Faculty of Engineering in Naples , the first in Italy) and the chair of agriculture in the same university with decree of 10 December 1809 , but condemned the closure, with a decree of 29 November 1811 , of the ancient Salerno medical school " [source: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gioacchino_Murat]

So in a time of war... Napoleon's brother-in-law Murat, who later betrayed Napoleon by making a treaty with Austria as well as abandoning the army in Poland - leaving it to Napoleon's cousin (3rd in command) - shut down the production of "doctors" in wartime. Similar don't you think?

So you're saying the coal in Yemen = aid from within Yemen itself, in training its own doctors by its own internal medical university.

No. Yemen is incredibly wealthy in oil and natural gas reserves. The socialist government was deposed and a puppet set up by the Saudi who cannot allow a functioning socialist society beside their dictatorship. Yemen's potential wealth (coal) is why they are suffering so severly, in my.opinion.

It's interesting that in its largest territorial expanse, the Ottoman Empire once ruled from Hungary to Yemen. I'm just watching the dominoes fall and reading the tea leaves here, but maybe some Order will come to light to make a human-realized solution to end the proxy wars and religious wars that plague the Middle East. Something Christian, Semetic, and Islamic where everyone realizes that the efforts of the past 2000 years or so have been to create a system that works for everyone and makes sense in both a religious or humanist and lawful way.

People are ignorant in the Western Hemisphere to think that States only exist in the United States and the idea of state in international law is something even more ambiguous yet ideal as far as regulating chaos goes. I think finding common ground in history and tying knots between branches viewed as mortal enemies would be a good breather for the people on this planet. I hope we get to see it.
