Some say any new war favors the Great Reset.
Others say you better stand still.
The US suffered more than half a million extra (not excess) deaths for each of the 2020, 2021 and 2022 calendar years for a total of more than 1.5 million extra deaths. This equates to around 10,000 dead bodies a week EXTRA.
Now I don't know but I been told
It's hard to run with the weight of gold
Other hand I have heard it said
It's just as hard with the weight of lead
Who can deny? Who can deny?
It's not just a change in style
One step done and another begun
And I wonder how many miles?
War, it transpires, is about captivating the enemy (Virilio 1989: 5), or of producing a magical spectacle, of instilling fear of death before death arrives. Weapons go hand in hand with psychological mystification. Representation is crucial. Covid, Ukraine, Israel, Atomic War, Bacteriological War, Chemical War aka Conventional! War, Civil War, civilizational collapse in pico seconds due to a massive sell off on a rumor of Russian collapse after 10,000 legal teams and 100 billion dollars in crypto found ABC war legal under international law and slightly under 666 megatons was now available to be used globally.
At the same time as cinematic acceleration is applied to the real world, cinema becomes a training ground (like military training grounds). Ronald Reagan, for example, used cinema technology to further his political agenda. Indeed, no activity during or after the First World War escapes ‘cinematisation’. War, battlefields, weaponry and technology are constant points of reference for Virilio, the aim being to show that cinema and war are now inextricably linked. Such a view is dependent on the shrinking of space and the emergence of time as the crucial element in all activity. Time goes with the emergence of the acceleration of all aspects of social life.

I wonder if Titania be awaked;
Then what it was that next came in her eye,
Which she must dote on in extremity.

Here comes my messenger. How now, mad spirit?
What night-rule now about this haunted grove?
Plotinus wrote: ‘But how are you to see into a virtuous Soul and know its loveliness? Withdraw into yourself and look. And if you do not find yourself beautiful yet, act as does the creator of a statue that is to be made beautiful: he cuts away here, he smoothes there, he makes this line lighter, this other purer, until a lovely face has grown upon his work. So do you also: cut away all that is excessive, straighten all that is crooked, bring light to all that is overcast, labour to make all one glow of beauty and never cease chiselling your statue, until there shall shine out on you from it the godlike splendour of virtue, until you shall see the perfect goodness surely established in the stainless shrine.’ The Enneads I.6.9
