    Dude, just last week, I posted a comment that said "American VOTERS and TAXPAYERS are some of the DUMBEST people in the entire Planet", right? Then, I explained why I felt, that such a bold statement is a 100% FACT... In WW-II, and in every other War America has been in, ever since then, WALL STREET made money off all them Wars, going BACKWARDS in time, and also, going FORWARD in time... How is that possible, you ask? By exactly, what you just said... Even as an Air Force veteran, let me explain... In the 5+ years BUILD UP of Germany, right BEFORE Hitler invaded Poland in 1939 to start WW-II, guess who financed Germany with the BEST military, their investments could buy? And even during a time when Germany was already STRAPPED in piles of debt repayments from them losing, mostly to the Americans in WW-I? WALL STREET...😮 And guess who KEPT THEIR INVESTMENTS POURING INTO Germany, even after Hitler was already devastating most of Europe? WALL STREET...😮 Now watch this... Guess what was the #1 REAL REASON Japan finally decided, they had no other choice, but to bomb Pearl Harbor, mostly just to get President Roosevelt's attention? The real reason was, it only happened after Japan had already done a seemingly endless number of attempts to contact WASHINGTON, about their decision to force WALL STREET to stop supplying Japan with 75% of the OIL, and so much of the other raw materials, like iron ore, that they critically needed for them, to keep on waging their own early WW-II battles, with China, and the other Countries in the Far East...🫣 There is even lots of speculation, that President Roosevelt, or at least the Top brass in the US military, knew WELL IN ADVANCE, that a huge number Japanese war planes were heading ACROSS THAT VAST STRETCH of the Pacific, towards the West Coast...😮 When just like 911, there had to be a MASS WAR DECLARATION EVENT to take place, in order to get the American People behind The President, after a seeming FALSE FLAG, to justify going to War with Japan....😮 Then, on top of that, WALL STREET got cutoff again, from them INVESTING IN THE THIRD REICH, knowing that would probably force Hitler's hand... Thus, causing him to also declare War on the US in Europe...😮 All of that is why I said, WALL STREET always, makes money going BACKWARDS, long before they payoff US politicans in the form of CAMPAIGN BRIBES, to get them to orchestrate, or manufacture yet, another UNDECLARED War... Then, guess WHO makes gobbles and gobbles, of even more OBSCENE PROFITS, after those Wars finally break out? WALL STREET...😮 And finally, after all of the bloodshed, dying, and crying is over, guess who get to go into those totally devastated lands, to REBUILD back up, all of what THEY DESTROYED? You already guessed it, 100% CORRECTLY...😮 THAT'S EXACTLY how, they also make EVEN BIGGER PROFITS GOING FORWARD during their MANY YEARS of rebuilding time, TOO.... In my original comment, the video was talking about the West, seemingly about to start WW-3, with North Korea, RUSSIA, and CHINA, right? I suggested there is NO WAY KIM has all of that technical knowhow, along with them easily obtaining all of the raw material, they need for them to be able to do all of what they've been doing FOR DECADES, without the US MILITARY BRASS KNOWING, who is really behind it... Especially, when 74% of their people are GROSSLY FOOD INSECURE on a daily basis... The US knows fully well, KIM is only doing the DIRTY WORK of the CCP, which allows WALL STREET and CHINA to simply, use North Korea as a COVER, even while, knowing fully well, it's really THE CCP who is PREPARING FOR WAR, along with North Korea... That way, the CCP are able to keep on doing a MASSIVE AMOUNT OF BUSINESS WITH... GUESS WHO? So, you fricking IDIOTS in the West, just know this... Whenever your boys and girls are finally DYING, and you are the ones CRYING, all in the defense of DEMOCRACY, this NEXT time... Always keep remembering, both RUSSIA and CHINA, just like both GERMANY and JAPAN would NOT have been worth SHIT as a Western Allies competitor in WAR, if WALL STREET had NOT been so damn GREEDY...😮 In other words, ALL of America's major WARS were orchestrated by the POLITICIANS that you voted for, and therefore, BOTH SIDES of the battles, ended up generating massive amounts o PROFITS, for the rogguish SOBs on WALL STREET... As a SEASONED Citizen, I've long known, the US economy has always been PROPPED UP by BLOOD FLOWING, going all the way back to WW-I... And it could even be said, it goes all the way back to May of 1792 when WALL STREET first got started, which was also, just 6 months after, the 2nd Amendment was fully ratified by all States in November of 1791...🧐 To prove it, just GOOGLE IT LIKE I DID, ti see ther has always been a close correlation between to the Start and the End of every major War, that we were involved in...with the MAJOR, UP AND DOWN CYCLES ON WALL STREET... Just compare those starting, during, and ending War times, to what was happening on WALL STREET... I started, by googling the US economy from today, going back to 1900... The COMPARISON will plainly show, the history facts are, the ending of WW-I in 1919 helped to lead the UE economy into the hard times of the late 1920's, and all of the 1930's, right? Then, the early years of WW-II in the 1940's were BOOM TIMES...which end din 1944 only to lead to markets CRASHING in the late 1940's to early 1950's, am I right? Then, what happened around 1950? The Korean War broke out...😮 That ended in1952, but before yet another CRASH, by 1955, the Vietnam War broke out...and that lasted until the early 1970's... Then, right after Vietnam ended in 1973, during the middle to late 1970's, there was another HUGE DOWNTURN on WALL STREET, again... Then, WALL STREET came up with a brand new TRICK PONY in the TAX CUTS of Reaganism in the 1980's, and then theINTE NET CRAZE of 1990's, which propped them up, all the way until the 2000 DOTCOM bubble bursting, led to 911 in 2001... That one 911 "attack", held WALL STREET UP for nearly the next 20 years, with seemingly endless Wars,all while fighting the fear of mystical "TERRORISM"... But, when Biden finally got the courage to end, that "War On TERRORISM" in 2021, what was already happening on WALL STREET, right before 2021came to an end? Another major CRASHED...at least until... Biden almost immediately got the US into a proxy War with RUSSIA, over their invasion of UKRAINE in February of 2022...🤔 Along with whatever 💩🐂 comes NEXT... So, I ended that comment, and now I'm ending this comment, by saying THIS... Since American VOTERS and TAXPAYERS are such royal DUNCE HAT WEARERS, everyone in the entire World, might as well GET IN ON THE WALL STREET SCAM, by them at the least, investing in CRYPTOCURRENCY...😮🎤💣💥🔥🤷🏾‍♂️💯

    A BS book by a man who never commanded more than a battalion or served on a higher staff. Let's take one of his "accusations". That the US government continued to buy harnesses for horses on a contract made in 1917 through the 1920s. First, the US mobilization of WW1 was like nothing the military and civilian personnel in charge of procurement had ever faced. In many cases, their inexperience resulted in contracts without cancellation clauses, resulting in the government having to complete the contract regardless of the end of the war. The USN was commissioning "four pipe" destroyers into 1922 because the cancellation costs or the costs of civil court were less than just completing the contract. Second, all divisional field artillery and supply wagons in WW1 were horse-drawn at the start of the war. Eventually, many battalions received trucks or tractors. But in 1920, Congress ordered the Army to sell those trucks and tractors and return to using horses. Thus the horse harnesses became vital to obeying a Congressional directive. Divisional artillery remained horse drawn until 1936, when Congress funded motorization of National Guard field artillery battalions. Regular Army field artillery battalions weren't completely motorized until 1940. Even then the US Army still had three horse cavalry divisions into 1941. From 1920 to 1939, US defense spending never exceeded 2% of the nation's GDP. In 1939, the US Army was the nineteenth largest army in the world behind Portugal. In 1920, Congress determined that the nation needed a minimum force of 277,000 Regular Army and 400,000 National Guardsmen to defend the US and its territories long enough for the US to mobilize. Congress promptly funded less than half that strength. The Japanese aggression from 1931 to 1941 in China was a direct result of the inability of the US to do anything but admonish the Japanese with diplomatic notes.

    15 year Active Duty aircraft mechanic here. I worked C-5's, C-17's and the KC-135. Sometimes when we were out on the flightline waiting 2-3 hours for a plane to come in, we would look up the cost for parts on fed log (our parts ordering system.) The prices Uncle Sam pays for, not for super expensive things like the HUD (heads up display) but for plain hardware like nuts, washers, bolts, is staggering. I forget what airframe it was for, but I found a bolt that cost 1,200 each, and they come in a box of 50. That's 60 grand for a box of aircraft bolts. It's 100% a scam.

    I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents. 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. WAR is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. " FROM THE BOOK "war is a racket" by most decorated of his time Major General Smedley Butler (July 30, 1881 - June 21, 1940), nicknamed the Maverick Marine, was a senior United States Marine Corps officer. During his 34-year career, he fought in the Philippine-American War, the Boxer Rebellion, the Mexican Revolution, and World War I. At the time of his death, Butler was the most decorated Marine in U.S. history. By the end of his career, Butler had received sixteen medals, including five for heroism; he is the only Marine to be awarded the Brevet Medal as well as two Medals of Honor, all for separate actions. From his experiences below are some of his conclusions on life, society and world geopolitics Add these to reading " confessions of an economic hitman" by ex IMF/world bank gopher John Perkins in more recent times and you'll see nothing has really changed Everything we see and hear are inversions. White is black, black is white and blokes can get pregnant. Welcome to 🤡🤡🤡 clown world. . . . . Honk! Honk!! 🤡✨✨

    I learned about the military industry complex near the end of my military career working alongside active duty members, government employees and contractors. If there is no war, those thousands of positions go away. It is that simple and why I started telling people, this country needs war to keep people employed, in lucrative positions too. Also, those are billion dollar contracts that are being given to the people who are their donors. They don’t care about the lives that are lost in war because it is not their sons and daughters who are dying. They make millions, but a dead person, is worth $400,000 +/-. That equals profit for them and losing nothing. And we all know that they don’t care about the broken who returns home and needs help because that system quality is not 5 star quality.

    There is a contractor who sold brake disk for $50 to civilians and sold it for $300+ to the military and they bought it without questioning anything. We need competent thinkers in procurement who actually care about how our tax dollars are being spent. As they say, you feel no pain spending other people's money. I remember when the USMC were issuing the contract to HK to buy the M27 IAR and HK wanted $3000 per rifle. Thank GOD congress stepped in and cut that price in half. For reference, an M4 cost about $700 to a $1000.
