- A good base for peace, which is more and more pushed aside: UN-Charter: The Promise after a war with more than 60 million warvictims: “Preamble to the United Nations Charter The Preamble: We the peoples of the United Nations determined: to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind, and to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, and to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom, And for these ends: to practice tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good neighbours, and to unite our strength to maintain international peace and security, and to ensure, by the acceptance of principles and the institution of methods, that armed force shall not be used, save in the common interest, and to employ international machinery for the promotion of the economic and social advancement of all peoples,…” on April 28, 2013
- The citizens of US, who were sceptic, that they have just to fight for the profits of the capitalistic elites, went to war against Hitlers, because the government promised them, it will be the last war! The government will support the creation of a century of the common people! US-Vice-President Henry Wallace 1942: ““The march of the common people had just begun. The march of freedom of the past one hundred and fifty years has been a long-drawn-out people’s revolution. In this Great Revolution of the people, there were the American Revolution of 1775, The French Revolution of 1792, The Latin-American revolutions of the Bolivarian era, The German Revolution of 1848, and the Russian Revolution of 1917. But the significant thing is that the people groped their way to the light. More of them learned to think and work together. The people’s revolution aims at peace and not at violence. No nation will have the God-given right to exploit other nations. Older nations will have the privilege to help younger nations get started on the path to industrialization, but there must be neither military nor economic imperialism. The supreme duty of sacrificing the lesser interest for the greater interest of the general welfare. Those who write the peace must think of the whole world. There can be no privileged peoples. We ourselves in the United States are no more a master race than the Nazis. Some have spoken of the “American Century.” I say that the century on which we are entering — The century which will come out of this war — can be and must be the century of the common man.” We should not allow the US-Elites to lead their people with promises to give ther lives in a war for the (global) common man, and organise later, when they were strong enough again, only the century of the US-Elites! Already 1944, when the elites had won the people, to give their lives in war, they did not need Henry Wallace any more and pushed him out and from there they reastablished their hegemony and use since this time the US-Solidiers, to do the opposite, of what the government had promised 1942: For US-Imperialism and the exploitiation of the world! on April 28, 2013
