There is no Glory in the Grave

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

“The working class of Europe has nothing to gain from this war and everything to lose,” Irish European Parliament member Clare Daly stated in October 2022. “I find it laughable that those who call for arms to Ukraine never call for arms for the people of Palestine, or for the people of Yemen.” She is right – the people have absolutely nothing to gain through endless wars. Some may say, “Oh but Palestine and Yemen do not border Europe.” The neocons led Europeans to believe that they were in danger of Russian aggression, as if Russia were on a conquest to conquer all of Europe. In truth, they knew that Russia only wanted to reclaim a piece of land that historically hosted Russian people. Europe at large was never in danger; they are now.

Clare Daly has been aggressively advocating to end the war in Ukraine. Daly spoke out in March 2023, declaring, “Ukraine is burning through a generation of men.” Zelensky is sending in troops with no formal training who are expected to fight his endless war. People cheer when they hear of a successful attack or new weapons coming in, but no one thinks of the Ukrainian and Russian men on the frontlines who will never return home.

Think of the teenagers who know in a few short years that they too will be expected to fight, with no other potential future. Ukrainian male students were prohibited by the Ukrainian Ministry from traveling abroad to study, as Zelensky needed them ready to fight to replace their older brothers and peers who may perish in battle. Yet Zelensky parades around in a military green shirt, forcing men to die, knowing he will not receive so much as a scratch.

“These are human beings, and there is a shameful lack of empathy for ordinary people in the war rhetoric in here. The debate is about keeping the war flowing to keep the war going,” Daly shouted. Peace was never an option for the West. Russia did in fact offer to hold discussions. They appeased Russia with the Minsk Agreement that they never intended to keep, as former German Chancellor Angela Merkel admitted. Merkel said that the entire premise of the Minsk Agreement was to buy time to build up Ukraine’s military. War has always been the goal of the neocons. Russia was none the wiser of the grand plan until after they entered Ukraine.

Clare Daly has expressed how livid she is at the warmongers for continuing this war. It is a rare occurrence to see her speaking out on BBC or any major channels. She has questioned what it even means for Ukraine to “win” the war. “Ordinary people don’t win in wars, they’re cannon fodder in the games of others,” Daly said, “You can shout glory all you like, but there is no glory in the grave, and only graves come out of this folly.”

“War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.”
― George Orwell, 1984
The youngsters of today never read, so are unaware of books such as 1984. Reading that article made me sick to think how ignorant the average person is, even to the point of printing such a monstrosity and thinking it is an intellectual feat. Even the fact of using the word Eurasia makes my head spin. These people do not even have an original thought bouncing around in their minds.

From the movie, ‘Renaissance Man’ (1994):

Pvt. Donnie Benitez: [Sgt Cass has just ordered Benitez to recite Shakespeare] “He that shall live this day, and see old age, Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbors, And say ‘To-morrow is Saint Crispian:’ Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars. And say ‘These wounds I had on Crispin’s day.’ Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot, But he’ll remember with advantages What feats he did that day:
[the rest of the platoon gathers around]
Pvt. Donnie Benitez: then shall our names, Familiar in his mouth as household words Harry the king, Bedford and Exeter, Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester, Be in their flowing cups freshly remember’d. And this story shall the good man teach his son; And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by, From this day to the ending of the world, But we in it shall be remember’d;
[Looking at the Double Ds]
Pvt. Donnie Benitez: We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother.
[Looking back at the rest of the platoon]
Pvt. Donnie Benitez: And gentlemen in England now a-bed Shall think themselves accursed they were not here, And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks who fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day”.

Because they are goyim, he is not.

He is goyim and he knows it. He just has a longer shelf life than the other goyim but he doesn’t know how long. That’s why he keeps booking trips out of the Kraine. He knows when it expires he is Whoosh, just iike a Columbian Necktie with maybe a sharper blade. Either that, or he gets swooped away to Florida or some other place. He is nothing but a puppet on their strings. Play to their entertainment, Elensky, it’s all you have left. You are their toy. Have or be their fun.

He’s not a goyim. If he was, he wouldn’t be in the position he’s in. His job is to get as many goyim killed as possible in order to clear the decks for the return to Khazaria. His other job is to facilitate as much money laundering as possible in the process.

Thanks. I assume you are the DV. What makes you sure? To me he seems skittish and that translates to useful until he isn’t and he knows it. I don’t doubt the money laundering for one second. Always looking for other views to open my mind.

Downvoter. If not, ok. He seems so skittish. Maybe he was installed to be in that position or maybe not. He isn’t in the trenches like the “goyim” that’s for sure. He does sound like he could be expendable, even at his higher ranking, and it seems like he knows it. Just asking for what you are seeing that I am probably missing.

“Ordinary people don’t win in wars, they’re cannon fodder in the games of others,” Daly said

I disagree. Every person who survives war is a winner, regardless of which side they were on.

It is for this very reason that War solves nothing. Evil never sleeps. Evil never rests. Evil never dies. The only path to victory is to deny it battle. That too comes at a terrible price.

War is Hell.

One needn’t hit the trifecta. Each of those categories qualifies on its own “merit”…although not exclusively or necessarily.

The statement “There is no glory in the grave” suggests that once a person dies, their achievements and actions lose their significance, and there is no lasting impact or recognition for them. However, I would like to offer a different perspective and refute this statement by highlighting a few points:

Legacy and Remembrance: Throughout history, numerous individuals have left a lasting legacy even after their death. Their contributions in various fields such as science, arts, literature, or social change continue to be celebrated and admired long after they are gone. Their names are remembered, and their achievements are often studied and built upon by future generations. Examples include renowned scientists like Isaac Newton or Albert Einstein, great artists like Leonardo da Vinci or Vincent van Gogh, and influential leaders like Mahatma Gandhi or Martin Luther King Jr. Their glory lives on, proving that the grave does not extinguish the impact they had on the world.

Collective Memory: Society as a whole has a tendency to remember and honor those who made significant contributions during their lifetime. Monuments, memorials, museums, and other commemorative efforts exist to recognize and pay tribute to individuals who have left a mark on history. These serve as reminders of the glory that these individuals achieved during their lifetime and ensure that their memory endures.

Inspirational Influence: Even beyond physical monuments, the ideas and philosophies of great thinkers and visionaries continue to inspire and influence generations long after they have passed away. Their works, writings, speeches, and teachings have the power to shape minds, change perspectives, and create positive change in the world. The glory of their ideas lives on, motivating and guiding people in their own pursuits.

Posthumous Recognition: It is not uncommon for individuals to receive posthumous recognition for their achievements. Awards, accolades, and honors are sometimes bestowed upon those who made significant contributions but were not fully recognized during their lifetime. This recognition not only acknowledges their past glory but also serves as a testament to the enduring impact they had on their respective fields.

In conclusion, while physical life may come to an end, the idea that there is no glory in the grave is refuted by the lasting impact and recognition that individuals can achieve even after death. The legacy, remembrance, influence, and posthumous recognition of great individuals demonstrate that their glory can transcend the boundaries of mortality and continue to inspire and shape the world for generations to come.
