A bit of cynical and accurate wisdom during my air force service during the disaster we now call Vietnam was “War is good business. Invest your sons.”
None of us knew it at the time, but back in the 1920’s TWICE MEDAL OF HONOR RECIPIENT, GENERAL SMEDLEY BUTLER, was way ahead of us with his book “WAR IS A RACKET”.
Load his name into Brighteon or Bitchute and you’ll find an audio version of the salient points of his book. Forget YouTube as they’re eyeball deep into the “racket”.
And, of course, President Eisenhower commented on what he called the “Military-Industrial Complex”in his final address before leaving office. Guess he wanted to remain on the planet long enough to play a few more rounds at Augusta. Unfortunately, his successor, JFK, also a WW2 veteran, carelessly challenged not only the M-I Complex but their partners in the so-called “INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITIES”.
Despite that some observers attributed JFK’s win to the last minute “discovery” of some 100,000 votes in that paragon of honest government, Chicago, he may have been one of the last Democrats who loved this country more than the power, control and wealth driven would-be tyrant Democrats of today. And we all know that JFK’s “carelessness” providentially stopped being a problem for the M-I Complex, the CIA and others in Dealy Plaza on November 22, 1963 when he was shot by Oswald using a cheap Italian mail-order bolt action rifle loaded with “magic bullets”. (PAUSE... RIIIIIGGGHT).
We have Chucky Schumer to thank for reminding us that if you piss off the spooks, they have 6 ways from Sunday to deal (or Dealy Plaza) with you.
I said all that to bring us to the recent Biden fiasco in Afghanistan.
Because this video could run out to an hour or more, we’ll avoid the disturbing matter of thousands of American citizens left behind except to say the military Keystone Kops infesting the Pentagon screwed up or left them there in order to evoke an outcry among folks here to go back in and save them. You know, to avoid those disturbing videos of them being beheaded by the Taliban. Now THAT might even cause the 20 million who actually DID vote for Biden and his clown show to swell to....oh...21 million or so!
I’ve said all that to try to answer a question many are asking: Why in the world did we abandon BILLIONS of dollars worth of functional vehicles, helicopters, drones, missiles other weapons and munitions? We did a bit of that in Vietnam as well...along with only God knows how many POWs!
Several possible answers come to mind:
1. That stuff might help the Taliban remain in power should the non-Taliban natives or the Taliban’s new “friends” the Chinese and Russians now coming in for a “visit” of unknown duration get a bit too frisky. And those millions of abandoned items will need to be replaced, providing American jobs...and future Democrat voters (as if a million or more illegals aren’t enough). Oh, did I mention the huge profits to the industrialists who own those plants? (They might even make more than the big pharma guys peddling those Covid vaccines!)
2. Or, as some news reports declared, the Biden maladministration might dispatch B-52’s to destroy as many of those items as possible. And, of course, not only will those millions of items need to be replaced but, as a bonus, so will the bombs used to destroy them. And, of course, if they wait long enough, the Taliban might get far enough up the learning curve with those spiffy new missiles to take down a few BUFFs.
There’s another element in all this and that’s the behind the curtain chess moves by the powerful international banking interests to which the bulk of these billions and power gravitate. The matriarch of the Rothschild family is reputed to have declared “If my sons didn’t want them, there wouldn’t be any wars.” Hollow boast or a rare truth from a member of the European oligarchs that have been sending their underlings and peasant class to bloody conflicts? Who knows.
But if you’ve ever wondered why Switzerland has maintained its NEUTRALITY while wars raged around them for centuries, under a centuries long “gentleman’s agreement”, Switzerland is where these folks at the tops of these piles of war dead stash their booty, gold, art treasures, family heirlooms, etc.
And I’d be remiss if I failed to comment that a large cohort of politicians HERE have come to value the concept of an anonymous numbered account in a Zurich bank. Just sayin’.
I could go on but I think you get how this works.
If you’re still puzzled, please refer to the Smedley Butler videos.
Thank you for sharing & I agree with what you said. I know of Smedley Butler and will have to check out his videos.
There are several but one outstanding book I can recommend based on what you shared is “Hope of the Wicked” by Ted Flynn.
Take care & God bless.
