War Is A Business: We Fund It, And Those Who Wage The Wars Profit: Have you ever considered the fact that there is a business side to all wars that are fought, regardless as to the reason for the military actions, or even if there is no justified reason for those military actions? The truth is that there is no larger business venture in the world, and unlike typical business ventures, those who finance the venture have absolutely no input or control of how there money will be used, nor do they see one penny of profit with that business venture. Our job is to pay for the wars; that is as far as we are allowed to go with that business venture. To make my point, as it relates to the business side of war, consider the following components of war and the cost that is associated with those components. Nuclear submarines Fighter jets and other aircraft Aircraft carriers Cargo planes Missiles Missile launchers Tanks Jeeps Trucks Various rifles Various handguns Shells and ammunition used for the rifles, handguns, tanks, etc. Knives Helicopters Unmanned Drones Communication equipment Uniforms for military personnel Food for military personnel Housing for military personnel Army bases Navy bases Marine bases Air Force bases National Guard bases Furnishings for those bases Land acquisition for the bases Medical equipment and supplies for the military Medical care for the military personnel Salaries for all associated with the military I could go on and on and on with a list of expenses that are related to the continuous wars throughout the world, but I think my basic point can be made with this partial list. What should first become very obvious is the enormous cost of these wars, which are funded with the fruits of the labor of the common citizens of this great nation. With these wars, the secretive manner of movement is as massive as is the costs that relate to the wars, and yet the transparency with wars, or the goals of the wars is simply non-existent. As with most government ventures, the common people are told only what they are allowed to hear, and it goes far beyond simple national security interests. The justification for wars is a pathetic example of government manipulation with anything they touch. The justification of wars is to ensure peace to a nation or a people, which to me, seems to be about three steps beyond the very concept of reality. Our brave men and women who are willing to sacrifice their lives to protect our nation are sent into the darkness which is presented as a mission that is for the betterment of humanity, yet in order to do so, many of those brave members of our military will give their lives to a government that is using them for these business ventures. The government does not just deceive the common people who remain home during these wars, but deceive those who are fighting, in many cases, for an unjustified cause that goes no further than feeding the economy that is associated with the wars and those who conduct these wars. Let me again remind you, that these wars are funded with our tax dollars, and yet we are left in complete darkness by a government, and a media that is controlled by that same government, and we are allowed to know only what they determine we are allowed to know. If our government is truly concerned about humanity, why is it that a choice is made to fund wars, instead of feeding a portion of our society that makes up our poverty level in America? Why is taking care of the American citizens, (with actions, not empty promises) never to be considered the top priority with those who reside in Washington? The answer to those questions is actually quite simple, but you will never hear a president or a member of congress answer that question. You can make an enormous amount of money with preparing for wars, and implementing those wars, but you cannot make money with the poverty level of America. So, our compassionate government merely gives those within the poverty level enough to survive, yet remain locked into that economic hole in our society, and they do so to keep them content enough to remain silent on any matter that has any significance. As with any true priority of our government, you must look at the monetary issue in order to understand their motivation and movements. Many answers can be found by simply following the money trail, as that is the true driving force with all that the government seems to do. Our government is making a ton of money that requires injury and even death to be a component of that business venture. Some may ask as to why I am referring to wars as business ventures. Consider that long list of components of war that I placed at the beginning of this issue. Each of those components must be manufactured, and they each are manufactured by specific businesses. These businesses are presented with a never-ending demand for their products, as long as the wars continue, or even for the simple task of preparing for the next inevitable war. Contracts exist between these businesses and our government, and governments all over the world, and that demand represents an enormous amount of money. Many individuals and groups invest in the businesses that manufacture these necessary components of war, and they do so for the sole purpose of making as much money as they can, even if death must occur in order to provide that monetary gain, as is always a part of any war. With our government, who seems to manipulate the truth quite frequently, I always question their intentions with their movement in our daily lives, and that certainly applies to questioning the contracts that exist between our government and with the businesses that manufacture the components of war. As long as profit can be achieved with war, there will always be war. It is a business. And as if the use of a military might to conduct business ventures is not enough evil, you cannot leave out the deceptions that are presented as justification for these wars. In reality, the wars are orchestrated for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with safety, with security, protecting those in other nations who are said to be under attack, or to bring stability to nations that are said to be unstable. The true instability is the agenda that drives these wars, which is a desire to control those who will not submit to that agenda. America has become an evil force that uses it power and wealth to control other nations and to eliminate those who will not cooperate in an unconditional manner. You can only blame Obama, and past presidents, and our collective governmental entity for submitting to the true evil of this world, and for literally allowing their loyalty to be purchased by the highest bidder, they are far too weak to be given credit for anything other than their treasonous choice of direction. There are those who are truly in charge that have nothing to do with our governmental body, most of which do not even reside within our borders. They call the shots; they are the ones who tell the presidents and our congress what they are allowed or not allowed to do. There is not a government on the face of the Earth that has dishonored or misrepresented its people more than the America government; no one else even comes close. Those who are truly in charge determine who will win elections, when the next war will begin, and even who will be viewed as superior at the end of that war. They determine who is allowed to live. The above will be included with my book, which is a work in progress. My writing will be a focus on the thought process, the mentality, and various components of our society that allow the cloudy and deceptive movement of our government to even be a possibility. It is time for the people to hear the perspective of a common citizen of this nation, as opposed to the twisted, manipulated, and agenda based ramblings of a member of the media or a political figure. The truth is an absolute; it does not change because of perception, and it is simply time that we realize that when the Washington agenda is threatened by the truth, there is indeed a problem with Washington.
