I would try to invite people of different countries towards discussion about the right role of military in the larger government and the society of respective countries. This question might not be a cause of immediate grave concern to countries where armies are small but in other countries who have large armies and spend large amount of money on defense, I believe that this question has to be discussed very clearly to draw the lines beyond which militaries cannot interfere.
Throughout human history, we have witnessed this phenomenon in so many countries with large armies that their armies continued to gain power and then gradually started dictating affairs of the state and then took law and constitutions(or other accepted social, national or religious practices that served as the legal code) in their own hands and after that there was no stopping the decline of those countries with large armies. Why? Because the prosperity of the countries everywhere in the world depended primarily on freedom of intellectual thought, principles of justice, rule of law and entrepreneurship of its citizens among other things while these were the very things that large armies started to stifle when they started to gain more control in their respective countries. I call it Yeni Ceri phenomenon. These were the soldiers who were behind the monumental rise of Ottoman empire and later these were the very corps that started controlling the government affairs, stifled intellectual activity, and sabotaged the efforts for reform and finally they became the largest reason for the decline of the Ottoman empire.
This phenomenon has been observed again and again everywhere in the world that once militaries were very powerful, they almost always started dictating the affairs of the state in a way that people of the very countries were the greatest victims of this transfer of power in the hands of the military. I believe that it is important to have intelligent and rational discussion in societies about the role of military instead of denying that problem does not exist or burying our head in sand to neglect the problem altogether. I do not believe that there should be arguments of the sort that such wrong things never happen in our democratic society.
Once the need for open-minded, intelligent and frank discussion about the role of military in our societies is established, I would try to point out a few very simple and common sense principles learnt from history. The first principle I thought is relevant that armies must not be allowed to stifle intellectual thought and related activity and freedom of expression. I believe that this must not be allowed to happen in any society. Second important question to ask is whether any army can be allowed to make actions against the law of the land while also spurning the most sacred clauses in the constitutions of many countries? While answering the question, I will also want the reader to consider that any small leeway, relaxation or loophole will become extremely large problem with the passing of time. So every possibility, if any in most threatening scenarios, of army's ability to override the constitutional liberties and freedom of expression must be defined exactly in black and white something that can never be used for greater excesses and generalizations later in the future and this has to be defined after thorough intelligent discussion among the people of the very country. When considering the role of army, I will also request people to discuss how to invite talent and good people to leadership of their armies. And also possibly discuss the implications of the large expenses of armies on the future economic activity of the country so as to optimize the resources in the best possible way towards scientific research, education, infrastructure and promoting industrial activity all for the greatest benefit of the respective country while ensuring the security of the people of the country.
Coming back towards the current CIA activity. CIA and related brain control agencies continue to play little pranks that kept them happy and satisfied that they are indeed insulting me in a proper way. I added five linkedin connections and realized that there was not much change in number of connections. Another linkedin window from yesterday was open and I realized that three connections had been deleted. Of course, people like to delete connections of other unwanted people but I am very sure that agents in CIA who are having nightmares now that their millions of dollars a year are going to end, continue to delete some of the people who they do not like to see in my linkedin contacts from my own side of linkedin. I rarely ever delete connections and only connections I deleted recently when I found some people faking into my contacts as CEO etc. I would request those contacts who have been deleted from my side to please know that I have not done that.
