Speaking of weapons, Biden has announced $320 million in precision bombs for Israel. Isn't it nice to know America is open for business for more bombs for Israel? It's not even "business" in the sense these bombs, as near as I can tell, are being given to Israel for free.
And what, pray, will these "precision bombs" do that more conventional weapons haven't done already? Or is the US clearing space in the munitions warehouse to make room for new stuff?
This truly makes me feel sick and hopeless. So many regions are supported by the arms trade and military. It’s one of the largest command economies in the world. To dismantle it would benefit everyone globally but bring collapse to those regions.

Some nice Thunder Chickens in that Y.T. Video back in 73 we all got to see Suzanne Somers blow a kiss in her white T-Bird @ the end of American Graffitti on Base Theatre, Whiteman A.F.B., Mo. SAC!!! I was young and sure then too. Now a LOT older, and Suzannes gone already R.I.P. Onward and upward in the good ole U.S.A. Gotta be Numero Uno in something. :/ :o)
WAR, TERRORISM AND THE GLOBAL ECONOMIC CRISIS. NINETY-NINE INTERRELATED CONCEPTS by Michel Chossudovsky / Global Research 110123
Everything is interrelated: war, terrorism, the police state, the global economy, economic austerity, financial fraud, corrupt governments, poverty and social inequality, police violence, Al Qaeda, ISIS, media disinformation, racism, war propaganda weapons of mass destruction, the derogation of international law, the criminalization of politics, the CIA, the FBI, climate change, nuclear war, Fukushima, nuclear radiation, crimes against humanity, The China-Russia alliance, Syria Ukraine, NATO, false flags, 9/11 Truth, ….
An overall understanding of this worldwide crisis is required: the last section deals briefly with reversing the tide of war, peace-making, instating social justice and real democracy.
This article includes a compendium of relevant citations (from my writings) pertaining to different dimensions of this global crisis. Citations from other authors are indicated in italics.

THE GLOBALIZATION OF WAR. AMERICA’S LONG WAR AGAINST HUMANITY
1. The US has embarked on a military adventure, “a long war”, which threatens the future of humanity. US-NATO weapons of mass destruction are portrayed as instruments of peace.
2. Major military and covert intelligence operations are being undertaken simultaneously in the Middle East, Eastern Europe, sub-Saharan Africa, Central Asia and the Far East. The US military agenda combines both major theater operations as well as covert actions geared towards destabilizing sovereign states.
3. “[The] Five-year campaign plan [includes]… a total of seven countries, beginning with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Iran, Somalia and Sudan.” General Wesley Clark in “Winning Modern Wars” (page 130)
4. In 2005, former Vice President Dick Cheney hinted, in no uncertain terms, that Iran was “right at the top of the list” of the “rogue enemies” of America, and that Israel would, so to speak, “be doing the bombing for us without being asked”, i.e without US military involvement and without us putting pressure on them “to do it”. This foreign policy stance still prevails under Obama.
9/11 AND THE GLOBAL WAR ON TERRORISM (GWOT)
5. The “war on terrorism” is a war of conquest. Globalization is the final march to the “New World Order”, dominated by Wall Street and the U.S. military-industrial complex.
6. September 11, 2001 provides a justification for waging a war without borders. Washington’s agenda consists in extending the frontiers of the American Empire to facilitate complete U.S. corporate control, while installing within America the institutions of the Homeland Security State.
7. The forbidden truth” is that Western governments including US, UK, France, NATO and Israel –while waging a self-proclaimed “Global War on Terrorism”– routinely provide covert support to the same terrorist entities which are the object of their “humanitarian wars” and “counter-terrorism operations”.
WAR AND THE ECONOMIC CRISIS
8. In all major regions of the world, the economic recession is deep-seated, resulting in mass unemployment, the collapse of state social programs and the impoverishment of millions of people.
9. The economic crisis is accompanied by a worldwide process of militarization, a “war without borders” led by the United States of America and its NATO allies. The conduct of the Pentagon’s “long war” is intimately related to the restructuring of the global economy.
10. “The Pentagon’s ‘black’ operations, including the intelligence budgets nested inside it, are roughly equal in magnitude to the entire defense budgets of the UK, France or Japan, and ten percent of the total.” (Tom Burghardt)
11. An outright “economic war” resulting in unemployment, poverty and disease is carried out through the free market. People’s lives are in a freefall and their purchasing power is destroyed. In a very real sense, the last twenty years of global “free market” economy have resulted, through poverty and social destitution, in destroying the lives of millions of people.
12. Vast amounts of money wealth are acquired through market manipulation. Often referred to as “deregulation”, the financial apparatus has developed sophisticated instruments of outright manipulation and deceit.
13. With inside information and foreknowledge, major financial actors, using the instruments of speculative trade, have the ability to fiddle and rig market movements to their advantage, precipitate the collapse of a competitor and wreck havoc in the economies of developing countries.
14. What is at stake is a process of “financial cleansing” whereby the “too big to fail banks” in Europe and North America (e.g. Citi, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, et al) displace and destroy lesser financial institutions, with a view to eventually taking over the entire “banking landscape”.
15. The underlying tendency at the national and global levels is towards the centralization and concentration of bank power, while leading to the dramatic slump of the real economy.
The White House admitted through National Security Council spokesman John Kirby that "many thousands" of innocent civilians have been killed in Gaza and that many more civilians would continue to be killed...but it refused to slow down weapons shipments or caution Israel over the death toll.
Scott Ritter is on Fire talking about the Israeli massacre of the Palestinian People in the Jewish controlled Gaza Ghetto and BIGGEST Concentration Camp in this World Post WWII.

An indirect subsidy to the US bomb maker
Just put em on the US's credit card eh Bill! @20% interest
70% of Palestinian population has been forcibly displaced by Israeli bombing.
Over 10,500 killed. 25,000+ injured. God only knows how many buried alive in the rubble.
And what, pray, will these "precision bombs" do that more conventional weapons haven't done already? Or is the US clearing space in the munitions warehouse to make room for new stuff?
Maybe its the "Iwo Jima" Package!!! :/ :o)

How did we let ourselves get here?

I just could not wrap my head around its projected cost with the cost of our education budget of 5 years.
Ron Paul's Liberty Report today:
The White House admitted through National Security Council spokesman John Kirby that "many thousands" of innocent civilians have been killed in Gaza and that many more civilians would continue to be killed...but it refused to slow down weapons shipments or caution Israel over the death toll.
Sadly Dr. Paul is pissing in the wind eh!
