17. next up on the docket war with Pakistan, but only after or simultaneously with Iran.
after all, we are pulling out of Iraq and Afghanistan right?

Got to do something with the troops. Besides, the MIC is really pissed that the gravy train is slowing down. Got to keep them happy! Right?

this is the new reality folks, the permanent war economy. When more that 50% on the dollar goes to the military, how can our economy not be driven by such?

I keep thinking of Winston at the end of 1984 when he is completely broken.
