Today, Thierry
Meyssan explains why The
United States Refuse to Fight for the Transnational Financiers - By Thierry
Meyssan
It is no longer acceptable that US armies fight with
taxpayers’ funds for the sole financial interests of global financiers, even if
they are US citizens.
Are we all
insane? Endless
War Has Been Normalized And Everyone Is Crazy – Caitlin Johnstone
In an even marginally
sane world, the fact that a nation’s armed forces are engaged in daily military
violence would be cause for shock and alarm, and pulling those forces out of
that situation would be viewed as a return to normalcy. Instead we are seeing
the exact opposite. In an even marginally sane world, congressional oversight
would be required to send the US military to invade countries and commit acts
of war, because that act, not withdrawing them, is what’s abnormal. Instead we
are seeing the exact opposite.
Just a few weeks ago we posted this- There was no longer a question of using US armies
to defend principles or interests, but to use them for a reorganisation of the
world by dividing it into two parts – on one side the states integrated into
the globalised economy, and on the other, the others. The Pentagon would no longer fight wars in order to
steal natural resources, but to control access to those resources by the
globalised nations. A division directly inspired by the process of globalisation
which had already trashed half of the Western populations. This time, it was
half of the world’s population which was to be excluded
In case you did not see it, David Stockman explained that our defense
budget should only be about $250 billion and not $750 billon in this
- So the $500 billion difference is the fiscal cost
of Empire, which is pushing the US toward an immense generational fiscal
crisis. But it’s also a measure of the giant larder that fills the Swamp with
the projects and busywork of Washington’s global hegemony.
In fact, it is the vastly deep of that $500 billion larder
which gives rise to the forces that not only thwart the Donald’s desire to
drain the Swamp, but actually enlist him in the cause of deepening its brackish
waters.
Who gets rich and who pays for this? And how many are killed or maimed
for life all around the world?
Just asking?
