How to PROFIT from US WARS: invest

If you can help governments in their primal act of survival to remain in power by offering raw materials, weapons, soldiers, services to soldiers, you’re going to be the government’s best friend.
Normal business profit margins are around 10%, give or take.
But war-time profits? We’re talking 20%, 60%, 100%, 300%, 800%, the sky is the limit!
DuPont for example during WWI, during the war-time years, their profits increased by more than 950%!
Or take the Central Leather Company at that time, in the three years before the war, profits were around $3.5m. In 1916? $15m.
During the Iraq War, often called the most privatized war in history.

A wise person avoids these as grave wrongs, harmful karma, instead living abundantly by "right" livelihood.

Republican Debate 3 w/ Ramaswami (live)
NBC News via commentators David Pakman and Bryan Tyler Cohen (YouTube), 11/8/23; Ashley Wells, Pfc. Sandoval, Seth Auberon (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly
Who are the five candidates that qualified for the third GOP debate?
- Indian Vivek Ramaswami doing some fast entrepreneurial talking,
Indian Nikki Haley doing a better job than anyone expects (VP material?),.jpg)
Ronnie D is too liberal. Vote for me! - Indian Hirsh Singh not being invited again,
- Some fat, short, and/or both governors,
- A token conservative Black candidate (Candace Owens must be proud) now that ridiculous Black AM radio host uber conservative Larry Elder dropped out for lack of anyone being interested,
- The Orange Ghost of a Billionaire eager to overthrow the government if the judge hands him his arse on a platter with a foregone conclusion of a conviction and a fine so big he may have to sell NFTs of his future bounced checks to recover,
- Indian Kamala Harris switching parties because Republicans support her Jewish husband's favorite country more than Democrats who give arms, bomb Syria, protect it from sanctions in the U.N., and provide it all the arms and war plans it could ever want plus backup and intel unless she is offered the presidency with Calif. Gov. Gavin Newsom as her VP when dotard Joe Biden becomes too enfeebled to fake it anymore, even with body doubles, which Obama's advisors say is about any day now.

Who are the five candidates at the debate?
Nov. 7, 2023: Five candidates will take the stage in the next GOP presidential primary debate, excluding former Pres. Don John Trump, who is voluntarily not attending [because a judge is hammering him in court to justify fining him a quarter billion dollars for financial fraud as Trump loses in court yet again while claiming to never lose and being tired of winning] but allegedly leading all candidates (Republican and Democrat) in the polls.

Pearl Harbor: false pretext for war (video)

| What is a "false flag" operation, and what does it have to do with WW II's Pearl Harbor? |
 |
| U.S. General Smedley D. Butler |
War is a scam. War, what is it good for? Absolutely something: making money for arms dealers, war profiteers, professional military men, stock markets, and industry/corporations.
Just ask U.S. Marine Corps Major General Smedley D. Butler. He figured it out before 1935 then wrote the book on it. By international and constitutional law, as well as other contractual agreements, the U.S. cannot enter war without Congressional authorization. That's never stopped us.
For all we really need is a pretext, a "false flag operation," an excuse to justify doing what we plan in advance as "retaliation" for something else. For instance, if we're attacked, we have given ourselves the right to start military hostilities without hesitating to ask anyone's permission.
So the military-industrial complex, with plenty of help from the Congress, rules our government and the military it funds. U.S. Pres. Eisenhower warned us.
Our hands were forced to enter the "good war" and kill hundreds of thousands, injure millions (many still feeling the effects of nuclear fallout because we are the only nation in the known history of the world to ever drop nuclear bombs on a human population, a civilian one at that, in contravention of all conventions and acceptable military practices).

| War is a Racket (Gen. Smedley D. Butler) |
Since we need an attack to strike back, and since no one will attack us, let's just say they did -- Bay of Tonkin, Bay of Pigs, Bay of Pearl Harbor.
We were so innocently minding our own peace-loving business when those subhuman monsters came and dared to attack us on our own soil!
What could we do but "fight back"? We knew it was coming to Hawaii (a 1,000 islands we had invaded and forcibly made part of the USA largely to create a forward military base for strategic advantage), we had moved all of our real ships out to sea for safety, and we brought in our own junkers filled with youthful recruits to be sitting ducks. Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt wanted war.

Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt wanted war.
The Japanese -- and since we had secretly broken their code months before, we knew all about their intentions and plans weeks in advance -- flew in, saw that it was a setup, but could not retreat. So they bombed as planned and went on kamikaze missions. And we played it up to the hilt.
Even 75 years later on anniversary days like today, we officially grieve and remember how brave we were to seek revenge.

| In the guise of foreign wars - James Madison |
Hooray for our side! Let's kill all who oppose our interests, particularly as it relates to our free trade freedom. If we need something more spectacular than Pearl Harbor, how about we take down a bunch of towers in our biggest city with the cameras rolling? Sure, why not?
If we're willing to accept Operation Northwooods, why not sacrifice 5,000 citizens for endless wars -- taking down seven countries from Iraq and Afghanistan to Syria and Iran. All invasion plans have been prepared in advance.
(BCTV) The Pearl Harbor advance-knowledge theory is the idea that American officials had advance knowledge of Japan's Dec. 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. Ever since the Japanese attack there has been debate as to how and why the United States had been caught off guard and how much and when American officials knew of Japanese plans for an attack.
Several writers, including journalist Robert Stinnett[3] and former United States Navy Rear Admiral Robert A. Theobald, have argued that various parties high in the U.S. and British governments knew of the attack in advance and may even have let it happen or encouraged it in order to force America into war via the "back door." Evidence supporting this view is taken from quotations and source documents from the time and the release of newer materials.
Ten official U.S. inquiries
The U.S. government made nine official inquiries into the attack between 1941 and 1946 and a tenth in 1995. They included an inquiry by Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox (1941); the Roberts Commission (1941-42);... More

Ashley Wells, Seth Auberon, CC Liu, Wisdom Quarterly; Lee Camp, "Redacted Tonight" (RT, 6-24-16), Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show/TYT/The Young Turks Network)
In this week’s episode Lee Camp discusses what Bernie supporters should do now that the mainstream media has written off other candidates. [Maybe vote for Jill Stein?] He also reveals recent proof that shows how Google Inc. influenced the presidential primary towards Hillary. John and Lee discuss the new trend of "poverty denial" -- because as we all know, no one is really "poor" in the USA -- and how it impacts America’s poorer citizens. Finally, Naomi discusses the latest in attacks against Net neutrality.

T-Day: Trillion dollar student debt (video)
Pat Macpherson edited by Seven and Ashley Wells, Wisdom Quarterly
Today marks a watershed in the next economic bubble that will rock the American economy.
Bigger than Google's future bust after its 100 billion dollar valuation, mounting student debt will rock the country and the world worse than the housing crisis because most student debt cannot be defaulted on.
Today marks a watershed in the next economic bubble that will rock the American economy. Bigger than Google's future bust after its 100 billion dollar valuation, mounting student debt will rock the country and the world worse than the housing crisis because most student debt cannot be defaulted on.
- How much is a trillion dollars? A thousand-billion is a misleading answer because a billion is only a thousand-million. Have a look.
In the absence of a Jubilee of biblical proportions, the future for us will be debt bondage and indentured servitude -- slavery, revolt, and draconian crackdown.
Why are foolish "college" commercials proliferating offering job training? It is because they make a great deal of money for fly-by-night schools with very few attending students. The rolls are full, but few complete the training. The few that do do not go on to get jobs.
- FAMILY GUY: Man brags: "My son got into DeVry!" [DeVry is one of many technical institutes, colleges, universities, schools, and training programs that advertise heavily on daytime TV for people at home watching TV in the middle of the day]. His co-worker replies sarcastically: "Ah, good. What'd he have to do, open the door?"
Jobs in what they were trained in are not in demand when they graduate. We foot the bill anyway because the role of these "colleges" is to book applicants, drop outs, and secure them federally-backed student loans they will not be able to repay but cannot default on.
They are often seduced or forced into attending such sketchy "training programs" in order to qualify for unemployment insurance.
Even if they successfully declare bankruptcy anytime in their future, the debt will survive to haunt them.
The "most powerful man in the world," the US president, said he only recently overcame his student debt. And he is a lovable and successful lawyer, senator, drug-abusing closeted bisexual, and top executive, not to mention a grand sell-out to MIC corporate interests of all stripes.
Wouldn't it be great to live in a Judeo-Christian society?
Then we could have a Jubilee every 50 years.
Then we could have a Jubilee every 50 years.
But American-capitalism, a perversion of what the Nazis envisioned. The MIC we back is out to conquer and enslave the world through debt. This is milking labor (the 99%) for the benefit of an elite ruling caste (the war-happy 1%).

Bloomberg via San Francisco Chronicle (SFGate.com)
Wells Fargo & Co.
shareholders needed police help to enter today's [April 24, 2012] annual meeting in San
Francisco as about 500 [Occupy Wall Street activists] people gathered to protest the bank's lending and
foreclosures.
Sounds from the street wafted up to the 15th-floor
meeting hall, where Chief Executive Officer John Stumpf was interrupted
at least four times by people shouting objections. Earlier, six
protesters chained themselves together to block an entrance, and about
five to 10 were inside chanting as police cleared paths for attendees at
the Merchants Exchange Building in the city's financial district,
across from Wells Fargo's headquarters.
Members of Occupy Wall Street are among groups seeking
to revive last year's protests against the nation's biggest banks for
their role in causing the financial crisis and gaps between the incomes
of the nation's richest and poorest citizens. Wells Fargo is the largest
provider of U.S. home loans and runs the biggest servicing operation,
which handles billings, collections and foreclosures for banks and

Debt cancellation (Jubilee) is the norm
Tim Atwater (JubileeUSA.org)
The Jubilee campaignรญs origins are linked with the
Biblical Year of Jubilee, outlined in Leviticus 25-26, a magnificent and
widely ignored text which calls for periodic complete overhaul of the
economy.
In the Jubilee, there is release for those enslaved because of debts, a Sabbath rest for land and people, redistribution of lands lost because of debt, and a reordering of prices for land and labor based on proximity to the next Jubilee.
Leviticus 25 never even explicitly mentions
debt -- but the Jubilee is all about debt cancellation, restored
community, and freedom from debt bondage. The Jubilee cycle of release
builds on the Sabbath Year debt release and rest cycle outlined in
Deuteronomy 15 and Exodus 21:2 and 23:10-11, building from an every
seventh year rest and release to a super-release in the fiftieth year.
It was no accident that rebels against colonial authority chose a line
from Lev. 25:10 "Proclaim liberty throughout all the land, unto all the
inhabitants thereof...." as the inscription for their liberty bell. More

Occupy, the Top 1%, and Elections (video)
Adbusters, Fault Lines, Occupy Wall Street, Slate Magazine, Wisdom Quarterly
The richest 1% of Americans earn nearly a quarter of the country's income and control an astonishing 40% of its wealth. [The bottom 90% own essentially nothing and actually have a negative net worth called debt. The Occupy Movement will no longer camp quietly to call attention to this.]
Inequality in the US is more extreme than it has been in almost a century -- and the gap between the super rich and the middle class and poor has widened drastically over the last 30 years.
"The Top 1%" - With 1% of Americans controlling 40% of the country's wealth, Fault Lines examines the gap between it and the 99%. This episode first aired on Al Jazeera English.
Meanwhile, in Washington, a bitter partisan debate over how to cut deficit spending and reduce the country's $14.3 trillion dollar debt is underway. [The debt is actually far larger than ever reported.]
As wages stagnate and unemployment remains above 9%, Republicans and [their moderate wing known as the] Democrats are tussling over whether to slash funding for the medical and retirement programs that are the backbone of the US's social safety net and whether to raise or cut taxes.
Occupy (Wall Street) Los Angeles developing stories and interviews (KPFK.org)
The budget debate and the economy are the battleground on which the 2012 presidential election race will be fought. And the United States has never seemed so divided, politically and economically.
How did the gap grow so wide so quickly? And how are the convictions, campaign contributions, and charitable donations of the top 1% impacting the other 99% of Americans? Fault Lines investigates the gap between the rich and the rest.

"Super Committee" FAILS (cartoons)
Wisdom Quarterly
The two party "Super Committee" is a Super Congress tasked with deficit reduction -- making cuts to pull the US out of debt. There is enough money in the country to not have this dilemma. It is a problem, like so many problems, of allocation.
We could tax the rich (at low pre-Bush Era rates). Or we could assess corporations more than their current effective-rate of zero. Or we might consider sending less money into the abyss of the "military-industrial complex" (Pres. Eisenhower), which as part of the "shadowy government" (Sen. Inouye), has its own funding anyway. But no.
The lines divide in another way: Democrats want to protect MediCare and social programs, whereas Republicans insist they have to protect the super rich and corporate personhood.
Given that both parties are largely corrupt, who would take the side of the bailed out, largely untaxed, welfare-siphoning super rich?
The
"trickle down" theory of economics (the idea that if we give more and more money to the super rich, some of it will eventually fall down to the rest of the 99%) is a fiction that ignores the human needs of most American, even though they cost much less to provide than more tax breaks for the rich.
How deluded or insensitive must one be to imagine him or herself a beneficiary of so unfair a system?
Whatever happens after this catastrophic failure to reduce the deficit, at least country music superstar Taylor Swift's award for "artist of the year" is safe. At least we have that. (*Sigh*).

Dr. Gabor Mate @ Occupy Wall Street (video)
Democracy Now!, Occupy Wall Street
LINK (Bigsteelguy3, Oct. 11, 2011)
On a trip from Vancouver, Dr. Gabor Matรฉ stopped by Occupy Wall Street. He talked to "Democracy Now!" host Amy Goodman and observed:
"50 percent of American adults have a chronic medical illness. And much of that has to do with stress. And if you look at the literature of what causes stress, it's uncertainty and lack of information and loss of control, and lack of expression of self.
"And the uncertainty that has been forced upon the American population by the recent economic crisis -- the loss of control as power has flown into the hands of very, very few people, and the absolute powerlessness of the many in the face of all that, and the lack of expression through the ordinary political process -- people are totally disempowered and deprived of their voice.
"This protest addresses all those issues. So I can only say that this is an extraordinarily healthy thing to happen. People who participate here will be healthier as a result. And maybe society in general as well."

The Protest in Pictures (video)
Amber Dorrian, Seven, Ryan (Wisdom Quarterly), Hollywood2NY, TheAtlantic.com/In Focus
The CONSERVATIVE "Carnival of Crazy" on TV and Tea Party phoniness on the ground are called normal. But diverse, grassroots organizations occupying the US are a plot.
The CONSERVATIVE "Carnival of Crazy" on TV and Tea Party phoniness on the ground are called normal. But diverse, grassroots organizations occupying the US are a plot. Wall Street occupiers agree the rich (1%) are getting richer on the backs of average citizen (99%) who are being impoverished feed Wall Street (stock exchange) greed.
Did protesters benefit indirectly from the largesse of one of the world's richest men? There has been speculation over who is financing the disparate protests (the "American Fall"?) now spreading across the country and the world in just four weeks.
Jesus Christ (Saint Issa) demonstrator takes part in the Occupy London Stock Exchange demonstration in England, on Oct. 15, 2011
One name that has come up is investor "leftist" strawman [phony target] George Soros, 81, who in September debuted on the Top 10 list of wealthiest Americans. Conservative critics contend the movement is a Trojan horse for a sinister Soros agenda.
This "99% is too big to fail!" Occupy LA protesters march in the Protest Against Corporate Greed on the Int'l Day of Action, Oct. 15, 2011
Soros and protesters deny any connection. But Reuters found indirect financial links between Soros and Adbusters, an anti-capitalist group in Canada that started the protests with an inventive marketing campaign aimed at sparking an Arab Spring-type uprising against Wall Street.
[That is some indirect link. By that standard, Republicans are guilty of "Nazi" involvement because George Bush's grandfather Prescott Bush and other Republicans' relatives were there during the atrocities.]

Pressed further for his views on the movement and the protesters, Soros refused to be drawn in. But rabid conservative radio host [and super-duper journalist] Rush Limbaugh summed up the speculation when he told his listeners last week, "George Soros money is behind this."
And Soros and the protesters share some ideological ground. [They both love FOX TV but loathe FOX News.] "I can understand their sentiment," Soros told reporters last week at the United Nations about the peaceful Occupy Wall Street demonstrations. They are expected to spur solidarity marches globally.

Soros is No. 7 on the Forbes 400 list with a fortune of $22 billion, which has ballooned in recent years as he deftly responded to financial market turmoil. He has pledged to give away all his wealth -- half of it while he earns it and the rest when he dies.
Don't think of it as a Police State; think of it as a "Secure Homeland" or "Tax dollar Torture."
Don't think of it as a Police State; think of it as a "Secure Homeland" or "Tax dollar Torture."
