It Can't Be Much More Obvious Now
The jig is up. Cat's out of the bag. Pretty fucking obvious if you ask me.Fascist manipulators have hoodwinked the country into endless war when they themselves finance and supply our supposed enemies. Really, how much more evidence do you need? There won't be any whistleblowers. Whistleblowers have short life spans. But there's so much in the public domain now that it's irrefutable.
And of course, it makes sense if the bottom line trumps everything else including morals, humanity and so called patriotism. War is business and business is very, very good.
Just make up enemies. Dumbed down americans will believe anything and love a good scare. Hell, they'll even send their kids to get their limbs blown off for absolutely nothing, too bad more and more of the kids realize they've been bullshitted only when it's too late.
It didn't start with 9/11 but that's when they went pedal to the metal. Too many of us were just too fucking stupid and let them get away with it. Now the fascists are addicted.
Funny, though, as the scam goes on the fascists get clumsier. Maybe they think we're really so stupid they don't even need to put much effort into the lies. Maybe they know their end game is here so who gives a shit?
In any event it's in our face now and can't be denied.
Perpetual war is a filthy lie.
Militants' possession of Israeli arms raises questions
"ISLAMABAD – Use of Israeli-made light arms by militants against security forces in Waziristan has raised several questions amongst many recently.TheNation has learnt on good authority that militants are using Israeli-made light arms including “Uzi gun” and “Rapid-fire pistol” against security forces in North Waziristan as the operation Rah-I-Rast reached its final stage.In addition to Israel-made sophisticated arms, militants are making use of the latest version of US-made M-16 carbine with laser designator and binoculars, Bulgarian and Czechoslovakia made Kalakov and M-4 carbine with a grenade launcher and laser designator, which is a unique weapon with the US marines."
Who Is Arming the Mexican Drug Cartels?
The US government.

The Empire 'needs' perpetual war because of a fear of another 'Great Depression' supposedly: I've written two essays attempting to disprove "military Keynesianism" - the idea that military spending is the best stimulus. See this and this.
In response, a reader challenged me to prove that anyone would advocate military spending or war as a fiscal stimulus.
In fact, the concept of military Keynesianism is so widespread that there are some half million web pages discussing the topic.
And many leading economists and political pundits sing its praises.
For example, Martin Feldstein - chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under President Reagan, an economics professor at Harvard, and a member of The Wall Street Journal's board of contributors - wrote an op-ed in the Journal last December entitled "Defense Spending Would Be Great Stimulus".
And as the Cato Institute notes:
Bill Kristol agrees. Noting that the military was "spending all kinds of money already," Mr. Kristol wondered aloud, "If you're buying 2,000 Humvees a month, why not buy 3,000? If you're refurbishing two military bases, why not refurbish five?"

This is not the first time that defense spending has been endorsed as a way to jump-start the economy. Nearly five decades ago, economic advisers to President Kennedy urged him to increase military spending as an economic stimulus...
Similar arguments are heard today. The members of Connecticut's congressional delegation have been particularly outspoken in their support for the Virginia-class submarine, and they haven't been shy about pointing to the jobs that the program provides in their home state. The Marine Corps' V-22 Osprey program wins support on similar grounds. Despite serious concerns about crew safety and comfort, the V-22 program employs workers in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Texas, and a number of other states.

Military 'Keynesianism' has been an integral piece of the US economy for over 60 years and it doesn't show any sign of slowing.
Good stuff dad. Not only is the concept short sighted but Obama knew he had to lie about it to get supported.
There's so much wrong with this it would be hard to know where to start. I would put "military spending as stimulus" into the same category as "when bad things are rewarded we'll always have bad things".
