The truth the Corporate-Military does not want you to know! All war is for Profit.

Darth Cheney was an evil fcker,. still is I suppose,. .

War is for profit, power, and control, not for AMERICA, but for private for-profit corporate banksters who are simply stacking chips,. they are already wealthy beyond belief, and yet there is never enough,. There are more than enough resources to support comfortable lives for all the people on the planet, however there is not enough for the greed of the few. Why we STILL allow a small percent of sociopathic greed-whores to run things is the big question. We are to blame for letting this go on, us,. me and you.

The memo, while damning, is hardly the only "evidence" of this reality.., and it seems legit.

One simply needs to follow the money, read the "laws" implemented by these deranged fools, see how they move from gov. to bankster CEO jobs and havoc they have wrote on the world.

The memo is a nice bit of evidence, but it is hardly necessary to prove the point of the article,. the banksters are reckless terrorists exploiting for short term profits for themselves, at the expense of everyone, and everything on the planet. This is clearly the case, and easily observable to anyone who cares to have even a cursory look into it.

Clearly nuke-energy is unsafe and needs to be phased out starting now. No wast system exists!

The "plan" so far is to keep generating nuke-wast and profiting while doing so,. however there is NO PLAN to deal with the wast,. that little capitalist idea that profits outweigh any future issues is in full effect in the nuke-power industry.

This, and the obvious problems when sht goes bad, as in Russia and Japan, prove that nuke-plants are a money pit and a terrible danger to our children. As usual short term profits over long term thinking is the capitalist system in a nut-shell.

Yeah, Fukushima is mess, but don't forget there are over a hundred nuke-plants in America!!!

There needs to be a more urgent push to both the cleanup in Japan and the safe (if that is even possible) decommissioning here at home.

They just can't get the machines to steal money fast enough,. overloaded with micro-trades,. .

Don't put any of your wealth into that corporate casino,. the house always wins.

Invest in your own local community, in people you know, and work you believe in. Local organic food production, small scale energy, environmental remediation, etc.

The growing corporate-military, the rising police-state, revel the ending of democracy.

1% power is corporate control, states now bow to banksters, who are too big to fail, and above the law,. billions of dollars in wealth stolen and zero real prosecutions. The problems are systemic, the rot is rampant, citizens united (even the new-speak name is telling!),. NAFTA, Trans-Pacific Partnership, NDAA, and on and on,. anti-democratic laws written by and for the corporate-military, for the 1% who profit by them,. not the people, never do these new laws represent the will of the people.., and now it comes to light that all communications is being recorded and monitored by AI systems to watch for "terrorists"? Who exactly are they watching for? How exactly are they manipulating democracy, and our daily lives using this vast "system"??

The corporate-military kills "terrorists" all the time, using drones to murder them, right?

"terrorism can not be conducted in journalism clothing?"

As soon as we label anyone a "terrorist" or an "enemy combatant", or whatever new boogeyman label pushes your buttons, then laws no longer apply right? Collateral damage is inconsequential, and really nothing to worry about,. right?

The war-OF-terror make things so easy,. .

I would assume some of them actually know what is really going on, and is it much worse!

I was never interested in all these apologists repeatedly asking us to provide proof of the SECRET operations,. and then only ever pointing to the released info and claiming that was so overblown.

I have been/am more concerned with the very EXISTENCE of the FACILITIES to easily get at all this spook info,. not that it would be used in a court,. or admired to, that it will be used to secretly manipulate, to quash opposition BEFORE it gets going, to rub out enemies QUIETLY, and without notice,. that is the real power, and that is the real issue.

The corporate-military state is indeed fascism.

The corporations tied to the military and defended and supported through the state. The will of the people is not even a consideration any longer, only the war-bucks, only the 1% who profit from the warmongering.

How did we let the sociopaths take over so completely?

August 18, 2013

Hear, hear! You paint a vivid portrait of what we have allowed the few to impose on the many,.

1% are in control, and taking more and more for themselves, at the expense of everyone and everything else.

The shortsighted greed of a few is destroying the planet, making life worse for everyone, and wasting what belongs to all of us for ego and avarice. It should be no surprise the sociopaths rise to power, they have nothing like morals or empathy to keep them grounded, they simply take and take. The truly sad part is, so many people support and defend them, seemingly because they wish they themselves where more like them. I am not sure what is worse.

So, "foreign aid" is actually CORPORATE WELFARE !!! Color me surprised,.

"Virtually all – or an overwhelming proportion – of the 1.3 billion dollars granted under Foreign Military Financing (FMF) is plowed back into the U.S. economy, specifically into the U.S. defense industry. "

Tax dollars to arms manufacturers, who spread murder and brutality around the globe, is good business, so much so that we have to lie about the meanings of words like "coup",. however programs of actual social uplift are bad, because the rethuglicans don't like them, and we just simply must play nice with the opposition,. since they are always so considerate of our positions when they hold the power,. . what a joke of a system this is. Welcome to corporate-fascism.
