Is it Called The “Third World” War Because We Only Attack Third World Countries?
Wednesday, October 23, 2013 23:43
% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
The American air force hasn’t faced an enemy plane since 1991 or been seriously challenged anywhere in the world since the early 1970s yet 49 million of us are broke.
The only nations that could even think of challenging American Imperial Expansion are small, like North Korea or big and powerful like Russia and China. And those two are allied with the biggest ‘Third World’ economies on the planet – Brazil, India and South Africa, and the world’s economic shift is in the BRICS direction.
Syria and Iran are the last two countries not under the debt-grip of western banking (Capitalism and usury), which tends to bankrupt the system’s contributing nations – and their people - whose leaders are part of the banking system, through the ‘revolving’ door between Wall Street and Pennsylvania Ave in the U.S. for instance
How big is this “Empire” and how does it affect the ‘common man’ who does not work for it?
First, the size:
“In terms of pure projectable power, there’s never been anything like the American war machine,ever.
“Its Military Industrial Complex has divided the world – the whole planet – into six “commands.” Its fleet, with 11 aircraft carrier battle groups, rules the seas and has done so largely unchallenged for almost seventy years (far longer than when “Britain Ruled the Waves”.
“Its Air Force has ruled the global skies, and despite being almost continuously in action for years, hasn’t faced an enemy plane since 1991 or been seriously challenged anywhere since the early 1970s.
“Its fleet of drone aircraft has proven itself capable of targeting and killing suspected enemies in the backlands of the planet from Afghanistan and Pakistan to Yemen and Somalia with little regard for national boundaries, and none at all for the possibility of being shot down.
“It funds and trains proxy armies – Al Qaeda and the modern Blackwater for instance – on several continents and has complex aid and training relationships with militaries across the planet. On [over eight hundred] bases, some tiny and others the size of American towns, its soldiers garrison the globe from Italy to Australia, Honduras to Afghanistan, and on islands from Okinawa in the Pacific Ocean to Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean.
“Its weapons makers are the most advanced on Earth and dominate the global arms market. Its nuclear weaponry in silos, on bombers, and on its fleet of submarines would be capable of destroying several planets the size of Earth. Its system of spy satellites is unsurpassed and unchallenged.
“Its intelligence services can listen in on the phone calls or read the emails of almost anyone in the world from top foreign leaders to obscure insurgents. The CIA and its expanding paramilitary forces are capable of kidnapping people of interest just about anywhere from rural Macedonia to the streets of Rome and Tripoli.
“For its many prisoners, it has set up (and dismantled) secretjails across the planet and on its naval vessels. It spends more on its military than the next most powerful 13 states combined. Add in the spending for its full national security state and it towers over any conceivable group of other nations.
Second, the ‘non-involved’ in the Military Industrial Complex”
One cost is fifty million Americans on food stamps (which the War Party wants to curtail), foreclosures, homeless and empty houses, an economy based on war profit alone for those who run it… in your name. this is the short and shitty end of the stick they give you to chew on:
YOUR entire world is in “An Economic Crisis” while blogosphere economy students, researchers and free newspeole say that the crisis is brought on by the banks.
Yep. Who funds war and runs government economies?
Real banking is simple.You lend a bank your money which goes into an interest-bearing savings account that earns money to build prosperity for you in the future and the bank lends it out at a higher interest rate.
Can’t be more easy to understand.
There are usually lots of savings account holders that people are expecting to leave in there for a rainy day and when the rainy day comes, they can take out more than they put in, and because there’s lots of small depositor money, the bank can be as selective as it likes about who it lends your money to.
Collateral is put up against any loan from a bank, collateral that is forfeit if the borrower defaults, thus protecting your money.
After all, you are growing your hard-earned money with the interest the bank’s paying you for your future needs, right?
Okay so far?
Historically, a bank pays you interest on your money, say 6%, and lends it out at 8%, the 2% difference between the two interest rates being the bank’s profit.
Now, keep in mind that Need and Greed are two completely different things but obviously linked and here’s where Trust comes in.
You trust the bank to lend out your money carefully, with ‘due diligence’ as they say, and look after it while it is using your money to make money for the bank… with your money, your growth and your future in mind of course.
Okay, now for some Hippie Reality Sandwiches:
Bottom Line: Those bastards are now CHARGING you to lend them your money to make more money for themselves and you’re buying into that highway robbery along with bank bailouts with your money, trillions of dollars in a Natioal Debt YOU are stuck with, fifty million of your countrymen on food stamps and the War Profiteers making a literal killing with a never-ending war that Churchill, JFK, George Orwell and a host of others warned us about – debt!
Oh, bank charges?… well, I guess that’s the way it is, isn’t it?… Can’t fight City Hall, now can we?
And our bank charges aren’t as high as in other countries, are they?That’s it.
Ball’s in your court, fellow Americans.As it says on the sign out front of the house next door, ‘wake up’ – the OWS people removed over $8bn by November last year and put it into local co-op banks that don’t gamble on Wall Street.
Oh! But don’t take my word for it… I’m wearing a tin hat and dress funny to protect me from the government radio waves and say things that hurt… like what looks like a little bit of the truth to me.
