Isreal is to Hamas as Russia is to Ukraine : War is a racket to build large government
Added 2023-10-11 00:13:35 +0000 UTCSmedley Butler was the most decorated Marine in US history, Yet he wasn't proud of his work. He called himself a "gangster for capitalism." After retiring in 1931, he toured the country, giving an explosive speech:
War Is A Racket!
What defines a racket? An enterprise that is "conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many." War perfectly fits this definition: Millions are maimed and killed so a few thousand can make an untold fortune
Wars are waged not for democracy or peace but for the *business interests* who profit wildly during wartime. The young men who kill and die aren't told why they're being marched off. Instead, they're shamed into it.
Who profits from war, exactly? Butler lists them: "Munitions makers. Bankers. Ship builders. Manufacturers. Meat packers. Speculators." War supercharges the profits of specific industries, as their products are now demanded and bought by the ultimate spender: the government
There's no overlap between those who fight the war - and those who profit from it. Butler reported that "21,000 new millionaires and billionaires" were minted during WW1. He asked: "How many of them dug a trench? How many of them went hungry in a rat-infested dug-out?"
Soldiers in WW1 often got no money on "payday." Soldiers had to pay for their "accident insurance." They had to fund their own "ammunition, clothing, and food" through compulsory "liberty bonds." When the payday came, most soldiers got nothing in hand.
But corporations made untold fortunes in WW1. International Nickel Company's profits jumped by "more than 1,700%." The US government spent billions of dollars on "airplane engines that never left the ground!"
The shoe manufacturers were suddenly in a "business with abnormal profits." They sold the US government 35 million pairs of shoes in WW1. General Butler writes his regiment had "only one pair" per soldier. At the end of the war, 25 million pairs were left unused.
The US army was convinced by some businessmen that "colonels shouldn't ride in automobiles, nor should they even ride on horseback." 6,000+ buckboards - four-wheeled carriages driven by a large animal - were sold to the government "For the use of colonels!" Never used
War takes ordinary men and makes them killers. Butler saw how men were taken out of "fields and offices and classrooms" And trained to become very good at mass murder. When the war ended, they were "discharged" and told to become normal again - a reversal impossible for many.
The psychological damage of war War gives young men "tremendous excitement." When the survivors return, they're suddenly cut off from it. These extreme swings drive some of them insane. Butler saw many veterans of WW1 in government hospitals - they were "mentally destroyed."
How to end the racket of war? I think the answer is to adopt Bitcoin. Bitcoin makes war unaffordable for governments.
Those asked to fight, kill, and die should vote for the war. Butler: "Only those who would be called upon to risk their lives for their country should have the privilege of voting to determine whether the nation should go to war."
Concerning war, never mistake activity for achievement.

The Palestinian people are from the Levant - not Egypt, not Arabia, not Europe - they have a right to be in their homeland and not ethnically cleansed. They should not be punished collectively because of poor democratic decisions, in the exactly the same way as Americans should not be collectively punished for their choices - we have to consistent when it comes to the law.

Taking in all these poor souls is a recipe for disaster for Egypt. The US has already been trying to get them to open the border but they won't budge. The US power is slowly waning and maybe that is a good thing, the problem is what is the alternative? We got a problem.

2023-10-22 23:52:55 +0000 UTCMainstream media has also been floating the idea of bringing the refugees here. We should ask what happened in the US in 2020 when Ukrainians were the number 1 resettled group in the US above other nations facing war, famine and other far greater pressures? https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/ukrainians-are-now-one-of-the-top-groups-resettled-as-refugees-in-the-us-under-trump-administration/2020/01/30/03926dd6-2e43-11ea-bcb3-ac6482c4a92f_story.html

2023-10-22 23:35:13 +0000 UTCForget Israel, Hamas, Ukraine or Russia. This is why they are trying to distract you now with war that has been going on for generations. The war they waging is on you the taxpayer. It is an economic war and you are becoming a slave to the state. Mary Jane Guidry How do you prevent medical tyranny next time? Medical freedom laws need to be enacted because courts without them take too long to act allowing employers and corporation too much leeway over choice, censorship, and informed consent. Benjamin Rush's picture should be world famous soon, if I get my way If you do not have legislative constitutional change the people with power inside of any country can threatened your livelihood, social standing, access to medical care, and ability to go to public places. They also get deniable plausibility, because when the aftermarket data is released and they were found to be wrong, they'll say in court "it's not like we forced you!" This is exactly where the US system is headed. It also seems destined to fare poorly as a defense in a court of law, but it has been allowed to persist for 3 years on the public. Why are medical freedom laws necessary? It's important that those who did this in round one, face severe and ruinous penalties from here on out. Please share this. The time for action is NOW. Shit is about to get real for healthcare employers who tried to ruin the lives of US Citizens given the Washington State lawsuit in Spokane now ongoing. The U.S. Supreme Court noted since the beginning of the pandemic: “even in a pandemic, the Constitution cannot be put away and forgotten.” Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn v. Cuomo, 141 S.Ct. 63, 208 L.Ed.2d 206 (2020). Your claim to be 'science' does not afford you tacit permission to become a human rights monster and it is time to face the music while some of us had to pay dearly to protect our livelihoods for the last 3.5 years. The reason the paradigm in power in HHS will not allow excess death analyses to see any light of day is because these suits are coming and the discovery is going to melt many centralized institutions who thought they could do whatever their CEO, CMO, and CNO wanted. Read it and weep. The reason for the trolls: Legal Template for Constitutional, Medical Experimentation, Employment, Coercion, and Human Rights Torts by an employer. UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON SPOKANE DIVISION JANE ELIZABETH ROBERTS, et al, * * Plaintiffs, * * VERSUS * CIVIL ACTION * SHRINERS HOSPITALS FOR CHILDREN https://covidpenalty.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Complaint-Filed.pdf The irony: Americans were more safe under the guidance of the Colombian drug cartels than the CDC or FDA during the last 3.5 years when you review the death data. The math is factual. Less people died from coke and opioids than centralized healthcare policy mandates. Now Justice is coming for the treacherous. Stand for what is right even if you are standing alone. There is a fine line between challenging yourself and overwhelming yourself. Changing paradigms is not for the weak of heart or mind. This type of transformation takes hold of you. Invades you. Soon it owns you. You want to be free of them, but you never will be. A very slow movement on the right way is better than overwhelming speed on the wrong path and this is why you enjoy the chaos of being overwhelmed. You must become the change you seek in this world now.

2023-10-11 02:19:21 +0000 UTCThe propaganda worked if you have less empathy towards victims because of how you feel about their government. Believe all the news you see. Believe every headline. Believe every politician. They have your best interests at heart, always. Remember, the first casualty in war is propaganda. Be skeptical of what we are told. The war drums have begun, and its lifeblood is propaganda. “Those pesky Conservatives are not buying our Ukrainian war propaganda anymore… They removed the Speaker to halt funding for the war machine! We must convince them to support war and support it NOW! Bring out the Islamic terrorists again!” -The Deep State

2023-10-11 01:08:42 +0000 UTCWhy isn’t Egypt opening its border with Gaza for refugees to get out of harm's way? Poland took in millions of Ukrainians during that war. Why can’t Egypt help Gaza refugees in this time? The Arab world wants the Gaza people right where they are. Don’t ever be fooled otherwise. There is a reason Egypt also keeps its border closed with Gaza and why Biden opens ours to the south

2023-10-11 00:45:55 +0000 UTCYou're living through a fourth turning, as I laid out on the blog below. Terrible things will continue to happen that are entirely out of your control. This is not a new human experience. But our 24/7 acute awareness of these events is. It's up to you to decide what you give your attention, emotion, and energy to. You get one shot at life. When you look back, will you realize that you passed your time engrossed in one emotional event after another? Will you allow your screen to dictate your emotional state for the rest of your life? Or will you look up and notice the sunshine and beauty all around you? There may come a day when YOU are at the center of one of these terrible events. Would you then wish you had enjoyed the relative peace, stability, and health you once took for granted? We are in a period of enormous change. The monetary system is straining. US military dominance is waning. Artificial Intelligence is accelerating. The concept of the nation-state itself is under threat. The political class of nations worldwide will do whatever it takes to hold onto power. As usual, innocent civilians will be the biggest losers. There will be chaos. There will be war. But there will also be significant advances. And beauty will remain for those who seek it. Some people on this very forum will choose to thrive during this period. They will rise to challenges. They will focus on what's in their control. They will prepare physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially for difficult times. What can you do? Stay positive and constructive. Stay aware, but don't be paralyzed by fear. Negative-energy emotional traps are the quickest way to lose all of your power. So please don't fall into them. "Be the change you wish to see in the world." Take that advice to heart. And remember that the things you give your focus and energy to will dominate your life. So choose wisely. https://lnkd.in/e7Dv3_qZ

2023-10-11 00:43:22 +0000 UTCYour intellect can only take you so far in science. You must silence your ego and go with the flow of Nature's influence. Decentralization is our remedy. The problem in the United States is, among other things, structural. The strong dollar has forced production capacity and supply abroad for years. Other countries are better at saving and have greater confidence in the currency and monetary policies. Everything boils down to people's trust in politicians and the governing systems. Currently, we can not say the same about the average American. The reluctance to get vaccinated illustrates people's trust in the state. People's confidence in the Fed is rapidly declining. Their image cracks. The Fed has tried to portray itself as a saving angel by paying off companies that almost go bankrupt. People understand that bailouts (Ukraine) are only emergency aid for zombies and financial houses that have taken many risks. The fact that people do not want to return to work indicates that people have lost faith in the dollar. Stories of how employees of the Fed conduct insider trading further weaken confidence. More and more people are hedging their values into alternative money placements, away from the banks. The situation is different in other countries. Those countries wage economic wars on their taxpayers while others wage a kinetic war based on religious ideology. "Recessional" was a poem of lamentation in which Rudyard Kipling, known to be a massive supporter of the British Crown and its imperial ways, seems to be warning that it is destined to fail. He must have studied the history of man and his governments during wars.
