I like what you are getting at here, what seems to be the covering up of what might have been the unnecessary loss of a lot of lives.
I bet if we looked around for more of this, we'd find an awful lot more.
It is like the surviving collective always wants to just forget the darker parts of our history.
And the dead can't speak, as far as we know.
I was surprised to learn recently that Cuba had an indigenous race all of its own, who were wiped out by the Spanish Conquistadors on their arrival with slaves.
I don't think is very well known. I heard it from some locals of slave descent, who have preserved something of their ancient African folklore and religion, by mixing it with Christianity, making it somewhat less prone to being twisted for profit than pure Christianity.
What a horrible scene the Cuban genocide must have been, in such an idyllic setting. We can bet the slaves probably had to do most of most of the dirty work, at threat of death themselves.
I don't think there is ever an identifiable individual or group we would find are responsible for the cover-ups, though it might be conspiratorially tempting to think so, it seems more systemic, an unconscious collective movement, actually a product of all of us acting in for-profit mode.
I wish I didn't find myself talking about the profit monster so much, but isn't that exactly the problem, that nobody talks about it, so it gets to carry on doing all the damage it does.
It appears to be fully dependent on the underlying energy supply - always extracted, always we get more Joules out than what we put in, but the planet is who ultimately pays the piper, billing us with rising temperature.
Hence why it isn't a good idea to depopulate, we need as many bodies as possible, to put as much solar energy as possible to use, after we move to that completely as we have to, to pay the temperature debt back down in the shortest possible time.
That is one bill we have to pay back down, and the only way we can pay it, is by using the energy of the sun.
We either use it or burn! :p
