There has been some debate as to whether the world community should
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
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:
not really exist. As difficult as it might be to comprehend people
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
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
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
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
such distant technicalities aside during any battle for survival,
until it is too late to act otherwise on the original matter of having
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
is
consistent with a specific ideology, and promoting of that ideology.
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
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
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.
