100 Years Ago Today It Began: "Austria Has Chosen War"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

The good news is that 100 years later the world is a far more stable and peaceful place.

 

It wasn't all war though.

Little did Austria know that war had already been chosen for them, it was only awaiting the proper tinder.  Luckily we are different today and the public would never allow a false flag to lead to widespread war.

Banksters start wars.  Cameron is foaming at the mouth at Russia and Putin.  Check out his Wikipedia.  He and his wife's family are tribe banksters who work for the Rothschilds.  What did and do they do?  Finance wars.

They don't even try to hide it anymore on Wikipedia.

"The Servians form only one small section of the Slavic race, which has its centre among the peoples of Russia -- those, namely, who speak the dialects of Great Russian, Little Russian, and "White Russian. By language as well as race they belong to Russia, and their natural affinities are therefore neither Austrian nor Hungarian, neither Turkish nor Roumanian, but Russian."

Serbian language is about as close to Russian as English is to German. And Belgrade is physically closer to London than it is to Moscow.

"Austrian troops occupy Belgrade without fight." :-)

In reality, Austrian troops never ocupied Belgrade. Austrian troops were pretty much destroyed by Serbs, Austrian feldmarschal ended in psychiatric sanatorium.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serbian_Campaign_of_World_War_I

Belgrade was occupied by German troups led by August von Mackensen only in October 1915. The best indicator of how that went is the monument to fallen Serbian defenders Mackensen ordered to be built:

Another Kiev AN-26 or AN-30 transport plane shot down.  Looks like first missile missed, but last 2 didn't.  Plane can be seen firing flares right before the first 2 anti-aircraft missiles approach the plane. Maybe it was the Strela-10M with optical guidance that got it.

The destruction of the aircraft punishers (Today, 02:34)

Video The destruction of An-26 or An-30 maximum approximation. You can see how the crew tries to save the plane, but then, having flown into the Inferno, catches several missiles.

War is no longer believed to be a viable tool. It also enflames nationalist tendencies, which is counterproductive to a globalist goal.

Therefore they are in the process of making war both 1. dishonorable and 2. too terrible to contemplate ever again.

#1 Check (if the cause is unjust then war is dishonorable. They have made it publicly knowable that all causes of war are unjust.)
#2 In process

My guess is that people in general would be pissed if they knew that they were slaves and that wars to those in control were like Sunday football games ... for entertainment purposes (as well as population control).

Yes, the world has become a safer place. But then that war was the war to end all wars so current circumstances are merely a logical derivative of events.

England always there under the gize of prevent war, much like the US nowadays. In fact, they are the instigators of outright conflict/wars. Nothings changed in 100yrs. American's (majority) are as clueless as the Austrian's and thanks to Twitter/FB and all these channels that are NSA spoofed and manipulated, people are still falling for the same outright BS. Luckily, the world is less one sided nowadays, but the NSA is sure hell trying to re-establish the status quo. Lets pray we don't go to war with another American false flag or some type of Anglo/American induced event within the Western world.

England started the war to disable the soon to finish Baghdad railway which would have by-passed british naval control of the oil. Another as important factor to start the war was to cut the ottoman empire in to pieces unable to defend it's oil. Ottoman empire needed to be cut also to make room for the Zionist state.

 

Saying England was in position to prevent the war is false IMO, England did all it could to start the goddamn war in the first place.

 

If people 100 years ago had Internet, maybe they would have had prevented the war. Back then it's was quite hard to get reliable information from foreign countries.

LOL, you got me.  I actually thought you believed a world armed with nukes, DNA experiments that resemble Russian Roulette, unsafe nuke plants ready to do a Fuku, EMPs, and collapsing currencies was far more stable and peaceful. 

 

Actually the world was plenty stable and peaceful prior to WWI, then the world went crazy.  This usually happens when your consumers get old and stop buying things, which would be right about now this time around.

If only the evil realities of what is being done in the present took priority above the fear-filled imaginings about what others might do in the future.

The worst atrocities and crimes have historically been committed with the excuse that an imagined future is being thereby made better. The evidence for that argument is sorely lacking.

Shakespeare once wrote "the evil men do lives after them".
That line appears closer to the truth.
And the evidence appears abundant.

In the 21st. Century, how can there “be” and “show” humanity when world arms dealers USA, Russia, British, Germany, China and France make fortunes by continuing to arm disputing factions?

 

The 1800 Century mentality toward world peace is as archaic as the 21st. Century attitude toward humanity and world peace; that fact guarantees the annihilation of humanity with nuclear WW3.

 

Humans are not evolving, they are still more animal than intellect and are ruled accordingly by their masters. Full animal is the insanity of war barbarism that is coming to your town.

lest we forget...the war to end all wars took a heavy toll of young men and civilians PLUS caused an outbreak of Spanish Fluin home countries when troops returned.

from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I_casualties and here: http://europeanhistory.about.com/cs/worldwar1/a/blww1casualties.htm

then compare with World War II

The total number of military and civilian casualties in World War I was over 37 million. There were over 16 million deaths and 20 million wounded ranking it among the deadliest conflicts in human history.

World War II was the deadliest military conflict in history. Over 60 million people were killed, which was over 2.5% of the world population. The tables below give a detailed country-by-country count of human losses.

now for the flu which came after from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1918_flu_pandemic

The 1918 flu pandemic (January 1918 – December 1920) was an unusually deadly influenza pandemic, the first of the two pandemics involving H1N1 influenza virus.[1] It infected 500 million[2] people across the world, including remote Pacific islands and the Arctic, and killed 50 to 100 million of them—three to five percent of the world's population[3] —making it one of the deadliest natural disasters in human history.

At this rate of progression the next world war would take something like 100 million. Diseases? Ebola?
