Course Keys **** "Just-Wars" are fought by "Faithful-Warriors" who presume to engage in "Redemptive-Violence"; in keeping with the Myth- of-Redemptive-Violence --- described by Walter Wink in his book "The Powers That Be". "Just-Wars" are unilaterally initiated by Powerful-Alienated-Domineering-Bullies in whom much Wealth-and-Power has been concentrated --- because of Un-Mitigated-Alienative-Conflicts that have been regarded as "inevitable" because of Enemies who are "Evil-People" and not fit for: Redemption, Salvation, Reconciliation, Conversation, Open-and-Honest- Dialogue, Cooperation, Colaboration, Survival, etc. The"Faithful-Warriors" who have fought in "Just-Wars" are long honored for their "Honorable-Military-Service" under the direction of Military-Industrial-Congressional-Complexes that are Trying-to-WIN many Collusive-Games-of-Mutual-Self- Deception about what they can ACHIEVE-UNILATERALLY-AGAINST-ALIENATED-ENEMIES that are unwilling and unable to engage in "Open-and-Honest-Dialogues" about meeting the most basic needs of the members of the crew of God's Space-Ship-Earth. The CENTRAL-PURPOSES of those Collusive-Games-of-Mutual-Self-Deception FOCUS-UPON Concealing-and-Confusing: 1. The Integrative-Alternatives to "Just-Wars" - - - which Integrative-Alternatives --- include the Mitigations-of-Many- Alienative-Conflicts through cooperative efforts of recent Participants-and-Victims therein. 2. The Long-Term-Overall-Net-Costs of "Just-Wars" to the Whole-Crew of God's Astronomically-Tiny Space-Ship-Earth. 3. How often "Just-Wars" have violated the core teachings of the Great-Religions of the Crew of God's-Astronomically- Tiny Space-Ship-Earth. 4. The Full-Extent of the Net-Disintegrative-Consequences of each "Just-War" that is fought with "Superior-Weapons" --- created by Superior-Scientists and Superior-Engineers serving the "Common-Good" on each side of each such "Just-War". 5. The Roots-of-Just-Wars found in the many Economic-Systems which Accept-as-Normal/Natural the Domineering-Bullies' Many-Forms of "PROFITABLE": a. Greed, b. Covetousness, C. Envy, c. Unrestrained-Advertising, d. Unrestrained Concentrations-of-Wealth-and-Powers, e. Unrestrained Corporation-Profits and Political-Influence, f. Neglect of The-Common-Good rooted within Communal-and-Personal Integration-Processes and Present-Integrities. g. Neglect of Responsibilities to Assure Distributive-Justice which is essential to all forms of Authentic-Integrity. h. Neglect of Responsibilities to Assure Basic-Health-Care for all members of the Crew-of-God's-Space-Ship-Earth. i. Self-Justification within Ego-Centric-Patterns of Rationalizations. j. Official Governmental Domineering-Bullies and Mobbing-Mobsters. k. Concealed "Economic-Hit-Men" serving Powerful-Corporations under the cloak of Governmental-Service. Objective-Facts and Scientifically-Proven-Natural-Descriptive-Laws are NOT the NECESSARY-AND-SUFFICIENT TOOLS with which GOOD-PEOPLE can succeed in RESOLVING-OUR-CONFLICTS-FOR-US without dealing with the prevailing presence of the following ALIENATIVE-REALITIES - - - which are present within many of us and our communities: Cynicism Negativity Domination Violence Coercion Wealth-Concentrations Instabilities Confusion Chaos Prejudices Biases Power-Concentrations Ignorance Provincialisms Arrogance Self-Righteousness Greed Influence-Concentrations None of the above play Key-Central-Roles in MITIGATING Alienative-Conflicts or their Tragically-Alienative-Outcomes.
