THE CABALA OF WAR

Guns for Butter: House votes to stop Pentagon cuts by turning their budget knife to domestic programs protecting the Pentagon; legislation would cut food stamps, benefits for federal workers and social service programs like day care and Meals on Wheels.

The bigger the military, the more likely is war – if you got it use it. The military-industrial complex that 60 years ago was the focus of President Eisenhower’s warning at the end of his two terms, has only grown larger and more bellicose. The beast wants to be fed.

The former general of the Allied Forces during World War Two foresaw a time when the military would overshadow the legitimate needs of the people, but the prophets of war will only stop when war is no longer profitable. World War Two was the last war of necessity.

The Talmud-Book of Law predicts, Give Germany his will and he will destroy the world. President Kennedy made the Peace Corp to make war on poverty but the war mongers killed him. In this technological time brute strength no longer has sway; instead, cyber war is forecasted.

The prophets in the Torah foresaw a future when world peace would become a reality – we are on the doorstep of that future. The Cabala, key to the Zohar, teaches, Shalom/Peace also has the meaning of Complete – nothing is complete in our world, until true peace has been achieved.
