What is the long view of these wars?
The U.S. complex ruling system seems to actually believe, still today, that owning the world will become possible through never-ending wars. If there are no handy wars in sight, they have to be invented since they are a prerequisite for U.S world domination. I believe that one day soon we will witness the catastrophic fall over the edge of the cliff where this is leading us and the world.
In the United States where generalities about phony "values' are mouthed non-stop, democracy, freedom, family, puritan values, all equally empty, there is in reality only one value and its name is PROFIT.
There is a strange principle that has dominated political thinking since the beginning of unfettered capitalism this being the absolute necessity of economic growth in order for the world to survive. What happened to the true values, the ones that are worthy of the name? The corporatocracy threw them out with their unlimited greed for profit that now dominates all economic thinking?
This has especially been true since Neoliberalism was born with the ChicagoUniversity economist, Milton Friedman and the ChicagoSchool of economics that recklessly started the rolling of the ball which has finished in nearly destroying the world. [14] The most cruel effect of this callous economic system is the forever widening gap between poor people and the rich top of the pyramid.
So is this the way the world ends? Or are we the people going to be able to finally stand up and scream out loud that our rights are taken away from us by this cruel system that runs on reckless greed and nothing else?
