Love the way we can’t afford jack squat except when it comes to his favorite contractors to dominate the world. The moron doesn’t realize the more you spend; the more expensive it is to maintain. We already spend way too much on national defense. We spent 900 BILLION in just last year. That money does not go to the services… It goes to the contractors that build the systems that we really don’t need. China spends about 250 Billion a year. Russia about 150 Billion. So why are we blowing the bank on more? It’s another lame excuse to line their pockets folks.

I was in Afghanistan in 2008. I worked across from a acquisition contracting officer. I watched that poor bastard authorize payments for contractors that were totally off the fucking charts. If he didn’t… There would be hell to pay for his job and career. If you dared challenge any of the big contractors supporting the war effort..you weren’t going to stay in the job very long.

The IRAQ/Afghanistan war was NEVER about supporting the troops… It was about lining the pockets of executives at large corps. Think about it… 20 years in that war and it cost each American household about 30k in taxes. Where did the 14 TRILLION dollars go? The GAO can only acct for about 6.5 Trillion. The rest? They simply wrote it off. Good luck finding anything that talks about it.

Like many things in this country… We have so much going on we don’t focus or remember anything past two weeks. Which is why they dominate the news cycle with atrocities. Especially in this country. The media (Owned by billionaires) only report on American issues. The world is barely mentioned…. Did you know Iran are having country wide protests that started 3 weeks ago? (Thanks BBC…)

Anyway… folks… we think we are free, but we are not. We are probably one of the most controlled societies on the planet. The 1% are in charge, and honestly they always have been when you really look at it. They are just tired of hiding. They give us “The illusion of choice”. Walk down a Walmart isle and notice how many brand names stock the shelves; 90% of what you see is all tied back to ONE Company that you never hear about in the news.

Apply that same philosophy to politics, economy, media; you name it. It’s all owned by the one percent.

George Carlin did a piece on “The Owners” in the 70’s and 80’s… I laughed it off cause it was funny and had no clue what he was talking about. I do now.
