The Ukraine War Is a Racket

“War is a racket, wrote US Maj. General Smedley Butler in 1935. He explained: “A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small ‘inside’ group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.”

Gen. Butler’s observation describes the US/NATO response to the Ukraine war perfectly.

The propaganda continues to portray the war in Ukraine as that of an unprovoked Goliath out to decimate an innocent David unless we in the US and NATO contribute massive amounts of military equipment to Ukraine to defeat Russia. As is always the case with propaganda, this version of events is manipulated to bring an emotional response to the benefit of special interests.

One group of special interests profiting massively on the war is the US military-industrial complex. Raytheon CEO Greg Hayes recently told a meeting of shareholders that, “Everything that ‘s being shipped into Ukraine today, of course, is coming out of stockpiles, either at DOD or from our NATO allies, and that’s all great news. Eventually we’ll have to replenish it and we will see a benefit to the business.”

He wasn’t lying. Raytheon, along with Lockheed Martin and countless other weapons manufacturers are enjoying a windfall they have not seen in years. The US has committed more than three billion dollars in military aid to Ukraine. They call it aid, but it is actually corporate welfare: Washington sending billions to arms manufacturers for weapons sent overseas.

By many accounts these shipments of weapons like the Javelin anti-tank missile (jointly manufactured by Raytheon and Lockheed Martin) are getting blown up as soon as they arrive in Ukraine. This doesn’t bother Raytheon at all. The more weapons blown up by Russia in Ukraine, the more new orders come from the Pentagon.

Vladimir Putin is currently being paid 6.5 billion dollars a month to keep ukraines electric on. swallow that.

Follow the money..
Nothing changes....
Whether its big pharma...corporate corruption or
Raytheon and Lockheed Martin...
And sadly, the political grubs and the shitstream media
are all in it together....
The rich get richer and the poor get poorer...
Nothing changes....

I was told to buy shares in Lockheed Martin about 5 years ago. I didn't and now they have doubled in price. I kinda wish I had taken that advice. Took heed in Lockheed? Lol

From the link:
"While many who sympathize with Ukraine are cheering, this multi-billion dollar weapons package will make little difference. As former US Marine intelligence officer Scott Ritter said on the Ron Paul Liberty Report last week:

"I can say with absolute certainty that even if this aid makes it to the battlefield, it will have zero impact on the battle. And Joe Biden knows it."

The entire gullible world is being lied to about this war...
And the entire planet is suffering because of the lies and the corruption...

I think this idea of printing up fiat and spending it as if it were actually money...that's about come to the end of the line.

The Military-Industrial Complex, just as they've reached Peak Corruption, is about to be starved out. Endless Waste...just isn't POSSIBLE.
