Very complete, scholarly and detailed compendium of our warlike obsessions. The outlines of the military-industrial-medical complex we dwell within has been etched on our brains and souls from childhood. What is perhaps less familiar are the ties to the corporate world. W are speaking of Elon Musk (SpaceX) and Jeff Bezos (Amazon Web Services), not to mention Google and etc., being deeply involved in politics, communication, and the top military and security agencies of the United States (at the very least). Because all this is just the tip of the iceberg the scope and depths of the issues have grown like a deadly cancer. I hesitate to even mention the World Economic Forum as it appears everyone is fearful of the name.

This all goes deep into our collective psyche. Revolutions, real revolutions, are inner and outer. They tend not to to be covered on TV. Plus this revolution encompasses the entire planet. Blaming America alone may be important for some but without accepting our own participation in this it will remain "out there".

I often return to Samuel Johnson 1775, “patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.”

The corruption born of unfettered capitalism fueled by greed and blind ambition seems to be unstoppable as our government takes us down this suicidal path to total destruction. Once again your spotlight on our war room mentality offers an illumination of the insanity that has taken over this two party rigged system.

Chris, I wrote this comment on the NYT, CD, and Thesaurus.com, regarding their reporting of “362 School Counselors on the Pandemic’s Effect on Children: ‘Anxiety Is Filling Our Kids’”:

That ‘Anxiety’ is not only affecting our children regarding the spiraling costs of this massacre of gun deaths within America, but it is also causing anxiety among the C-Suite Boards of not only JP Morgan, but also; Defense Contractors, Private Equity Pirates, and Hedge Fund Whores — all of whom are starting to realize and fear that ‘we the people of America’ are beginning to put the dots together and understand that:

Capitalism

Creates

EMPIRE

“Guns don’t kill — Capitalist EMPIRE does”

And wrote this reply to Thesaurus.Com: —

“Capitalism” is absolutely not a synonym for democracy, and Thesaurus.com should correct this egregious error immediately!

It's not only we keep getting into wars of choice, but we keep loosing these wars and leaving ruin. All these limited wars with a professional army in far away lands have been failures. The final fallback is aerial indiscriminate bombings, like the cowardly final drone killing in Afghanistan. Short of total war of WWII, has there been a long term military success? War isthe most serious matter, and we don't have serious politicians.

$40 billion to Ukraine seems to bode well on many fronts for the NWO. Globalists are running / ruining the planet.

I guess the ultimate aim is for Gazprom to be leveraged buy outed by Carlyle Group or such. That is the prize. Zero eurasian opposition. Total control of oil to insider trade. BTW the Navy (at least half of who's hardware, the surface ships, are now OBSOLETE, in the age of hypersonics...ouch!) has a smaller defense allocation than the 1% debt service cost of the US Debt.
