GUINEA’S JUNTA AS AN EXAMPLE OF CIVILIZATION’S FAILINGS: There has been some debate as to whether the world community should “talk” to Guinea’s junta, after its successful coup, taking over the government of that nation. It is a strange debate.
We must keep in mind that what makes it a strange debate is that there is no proper and legal mechanism to overcome and bring down from power a truly corrupt and oppressive government. We do not live in a world where civilization has advanced to the extent that a people can prepare a case against a government, take it to a world court, and have the leader or government, removed by the world community, using legal means. That step in the advance of civilization might chance to come, someday, but likely not very soon. There are too many bad leaders and bad governments, which fear that they too would be removed from power for their actions in regard to violating their own people’s rights and the rights of other nations. Yes, of course, other nations could ask for a removal from power, if a leader in the community of nations, was overstepping peaceful bounds, and violating their fundamental rights. An alternative to war. Alternatives to war, such as the advent of peace keeping are very slow to come into effect. Millennia of acceptance of a constant condition of incessant conflict stood firmly in the way of establishing peace keeping efforts. The next step becomes peace enforcement. The effective policing of the world community to force peaceful resolution, by legal means, of sources of conflict. The global village needs the international policeman, the United Nations soldier, as much as any village needs its own local police. The alternative is the potential for violent chaos where those who are simply attempting to continue their day to day lives, including non combatants, women, children, and their livelihoods, are all made victims of violence. That lesson has been learned relatively late in the history of the human species. That in itself is a warning as to how the species has learned to so unquestioningly behave. The foundations upon which human civilization is built are somewhat shoddy, crumbling, and uncertain. If civilization is to remain standing, the edifice needs a lot of restorative work, with major changes to the foundation of ideas it is constructed upon. Once we have peace enforcement in place, and nations have to make their cases against one another by legal means, seeking legal resolution of their grievances against each other, we begin to build civilization upon a more solid foundation. Most of the atrocities, the mass destruction, the violent confrontations, that have filled the history books, could be averted by legal resolution of differences, according to universalizable principles that can be shown to be valid for all. As to Guinea, we must remember that only a military coup or a successful civil uprising can do remove what is considered to be a bad government or leadership from power. Civil uprisings tend to spill a lot of blood. Military coups are usually less bloody, and sometimes they are bloodless. Until the world empowers a legal mechanism for removing a leader or government that is acting wrongfully we must accept the legitimacy of coups and revolutions, judging them only by their subsequent actions. We must keep in mind that bad, usually corrupt, leadership or governments, can hold power while claiming democracy is in force, without any chance of being voted out by a popular vote. There are too many mechanisms available to assure continuance in power, by means of terror, and other corrupt practices, for the mere label of democracy to be an effective antidote for the poison of corruption. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A SUICIDE: There is in fact no such thing as “suicide”. That cause of death does not really exist. As difficult as it might be to comprehend people never actually simply choose to kill themselves. The label “suicide” really means only the fact that the murderer or murderers were not identified and perhaps were unidentifiable. The fact that the assailants left no actual physical mark upon the corpse does not lessen their guilt as to the act of murder. The lack of a wound, or physical evidence of an act of murder, does not repudiate the cause. In fact psychological and social violence, by others, is often the direct cause of death. The murderers sometimes take the sadistic stance of their actions being no more than a big joke, but that reveals a darker side to the function of humor in society. Humor too can be used to kill. Unfortunately few really understand the social and psychological mechanisms involved other than those who have survived an attempted murder. Most of those are not experts in the relevant fields of study. Most of their testimony on the subject would tend to be disregarded. The only difference ascribed to them, compared to the dead victims, is that they were considered to have been “tough enough” to withstand their assailants. Well, toughening up society to withstand murderous assailants that it refuses to recognize as such is not a very good answer to the problem. It certainly does not make for a better society. It does make it far more likely that more of the toughened up will become assailants themselves, and the causes of further deaths. I recall the case of a young married woman, living in Canada and a recent European immigrant, married to another immigrant of the same origins. When he decided he no longer wanted to be in the relationship, and wanted to pursue other personal social interests, he chose to use his social status in the ethnic group and the local community where they lived to cut her out socially, and to isolate her from those who were her friends. She was a kind, empathic, gentle, woman, devoted and loyal to her marriage. Finding herself thus socially rejected, essentially isolated, and with the additional difficulty of some language challenges creating even more of a sense of isolation, she killed herself. A typical case of murder. The ex husband who cut her so thoroughly out of all of her social connections, and completely out of both communities (ethnic and cultural) where she had any connections with other people and any chance of any support structures, was never charged with that murder, and never would be. He was permitted to date and marry another woman, whom he preferred, and to pursue his own bad habits to excess, without consequence. Society approved of his continued enjoyments of life, his continued membership in the social groups he maintained his social status within, and never chastised him for his wrongs and excesses. To this day he shows no remorse or recognition of his wrong doing. If anything the murderer has risen in status in the society in which he functions. This type of situation is not unusual. In another case one person actually was known to have assisted another to suicide in the hopes of gaining some money and possessions from that the deceased would leave behind. It was found that despite the physical illness of the victim being a factor, the method of the murderer was a consistent and well thought out plan how to lead the victim to death, and how to attempt profit from that eventuality. Nevertheless it was done in a manner that there was no physical evidence such that the murderer could be charged with murder. After all, psychological manipulation, and intention, as such, are insufficient to pin the murder rap on the murderer no matter how leading the actions of the murderer in fact were. The murderer was clearly somewhat psychopathic and ritualized the guilt into a peculiar commemorative ritual of the anniversary of the event of death deliberately taking on and expressing some of the characteristics of the deceased at the time of the anniversary each year. In another instance a person hung themselves, and the entire matter was considered accidental, even though the situation could never really occur by pure chance. The real story was a young and inexperienced person suffering constant erosion of self esteem by means of a lover’s demeaning, derogatory, comments. That combined with the tease of having and losing the object of strong emotional attachment in a culture of strong commitments and high levels of guilt concerning the formation and maintaining of lasting, rather than short term, relationships. A personality flaw of the other, but directed against a vulnerable victim. That and a tendency to torture with silence in disputes, refusing to enter into meaningful and difference resolving dialogue, but frustrating communication with long periods of refusing to communicate. Perhaps that victim ought to have been toughened up to resist such blatant and thoughtless attacks, but neither victim nor anyone else associated with the events would have even thought of that fact prior to the innocent’s murder by the other’s psychologically violent actions. The perpetrator of the murder went on to express that some personality flaw in other relationships. Each involved derogatory and demeaning, often public, behavior in relation to the other. Each involved an about face, change of mind, after consummating the relationship and making a commitment. The pattern repeated at least four or five times. Fortunately none of the other victims were as vulnerable, and none of the others actually committed suicide. In another case a victim of financial fraud, with a feigned promise of relationship used as the lure, provided a clear example of how involved and complicated the attempt to murder the victim of fraud can actually become. Murder by means of driving the victim to suicide. Getting rid of the victim of a financial fraud, can often involve the attempt by the perpetrator and those they are in collusion and conspiracy with, striving to cause the untimely death of the victim of fraud. A common way by means of which those practicing fraud tend to seek to bury the matter. Certainly a method for avoiding having to return the money, and potentially having to pay other damages in civil litigation, as well as avoiding probability of criminal charges by the victim. Of course tangled up in being murdered is not a good situation for someone who is a victim to be able to formulate and press legal charges, taking effective action, against the defrauders, who have become would be murderers. Fighting for one’s existence tends to put such distant technicalities aside during any battle for survival, until it is too late to act otherwise on the original matter of having been cheated out of one’s money. The mechanisms utilized in such attempted murders, tend to be effective in most instances. So there are very few survivors and the mechanisms are so complicated that it is beyond this article to even begin to discuss them, nor is it appropriate as some things are best not taught and learned, considering it be a primer in criminality. In every instance where the details of a suicide are carefully and meticulously examined it is directly caused by the wrong doing of another or others. There are no suicides, but there are many murders, where people are killed for personal, social, or avaricious reasons, by means other than direct physical attack. We must, as a society, as a world community, begin to recognize that fact, that there are no suicides. None whatsoever. Every instance has a murderer or murderers involved, and criminology must change its approach to the problem accordingly. We are also seeing a time period when those who give voice to unpopular and sometimes radical ideas are finding themselves increasingly disconnected with social, economic, and relationship opportunities, being cut off from most or all of society, while being increasingly demeaned in the persistent attempt to erode self esteem and undermine belief in self by means of isolation and attack on the psyche. This is particularly true of those who choose to disagree with American ideology, in various parts of the world. That peculiar trend is difficult to discern and understand without specialized training, and so it remains largely unchallenged. In fact it is an increasingly prevalent condition affecting what are largely American dominated areas of the world, or areas that America seeks to dominate. It is simply systemic abuse, and a blatent human rights violation, but exceedingly difficult to prove and even harder to challenge. Those of us specially trained in what amounts to psychological warfare and withstanding of various modalities of brain washing can discern the “signature” of systemic abuse and its methods. “Signature” means it is consistent with a specific ideology, and promoting of that ideology. “Signature” does not imply definite knowledge of the source of the systemic abuse, but only the nature and intent being consistent with a system of beliefs and practices. We have to consider that the American attempt at world order is a murderer and we must allege that it is using suicide as its modus operendi regardless of who is “pushing” the ideology as such. We have seen this trend across a span of 20 years, and it has proven unrrelenting. So we must also consider the political factor in suicide statistics. Where suicide statistics are rising, and are particularly high, in comparison to averages in other areas and nations, politically motivated oppression and rampant systemic abuse is to be suspected. More than merely suspected, it is a certainty. Where individual human rights are ebbing out, invariably a tidal wave of suicides is rapidly rising. There are also cases where unwelcome minority religious beliefs, disability, or serious and potentially costly illness, have resulted in the hard and persistent shove, from behind, as the individual chances to walk along the edge of the abyss of ending a life. In effect that push is a being ended, not a self chosen ending of that life. We must also recognize that that is a persistent factor in the brutality that often emerges, inclusive of where expertise and privileged knowledge are involved, as to the thin veneer of what we call civilization and “human rights”. The right to die is more often the right to be murdered. The fact that the murderers leave no physical mark when they kill, and the fact that they are so manipulatively clever in their methods, does not obviate the fact that they murder others by social and psychological means.
