Terrorist Versus Terrorist

Funny thing happened to America's narrative about the Middle East. Today Tehran's parliament was attacked by ISIS operatives. A suicide bomber and other operatives killed twelve so far and many others wounded.This some few days after Salesman Trump inks a hundred billion arms dealers to the largest single owners of a fleet of Bentleys on the planet. Cant have bomb created pot holes to spoil the ride to the airport for a flight to London where the white women are with bottles of the bubbly.What's the tie in? The arms where largely to protect Saudi Arabia from the Iranians. According to the United States and its poodle Israel or is it the other way around If we could just get rid of the ayatollahs in Iran peace would come to the Middle East.But who is sponsoring ISIS? Certainly Iran didn't orchestrate todays carnage in Tehran as a red herring to debunk the American narrative.So now what coach? General Mad Dog Mattis as Secretary of Defense maybe is thinking of surgical Tomahawk surgical attack on Iranian Parliament building to kill any left over terrorist? God. He maybe is thinking we got to get into this. Or we will miss out like we did in Syria.Also it obviates a reason for supporting Israel against Iran. Which kicks out another Israeli reason/lie for slow motion genocide of Palestinians.Gee. Is there any player in this cluster fuck of belligerent group of spoiled brats you can sympathize? So maybe the weapons we sell or lose that end up in the hands of the Saudis, Israel, ISIS, Afghanis, Syrians ad nauseam are in the proper place.If we really don't like any of the players then let them get rid of each other.

Cut Pentagon Funding By Half: Cut The Murder Rate In Urban Bombing

News form Syria reports ten civilians killed by U,S, airstrikes. Tell me who is surprised? Bombing in an urban setting is murder.We knew there would be innocents killed yet we did it anyway.Why? When you get funded approximately $700 billion per year bad things will happen. Who gets $700 billion a year? The Pentagon does. Mean monkeys in uniform who can't lose their jobs or get indicted have the time, money and killing equipment to carry out murder on a huge scale. Our men and women in uniform are not heroes. They are not our protectors. Instead they create blow back from the families of people who are killed.Nine -Eleven 9/11 is an example of that revenge.Our soldiers are just following orders? That's not an excuse. They are the operatives that carry out the policies of our executive and legislative branches of government.Also the corporations who's business is death-making are also culpable. They can all go to hell. Cut Pentagon funding by half as a start.It's a humane way of dealing with murders.

U.S Army: Why We Lose

Why hasn't America won a war since 1945? There are many reasons. Probably the most important reason is that subsequent to World War II, the wars were chosen. Consequently the mission was dubious. Ergo the will to win by the participating "boots on the ground" was not as strong. Why lose limbs or life for this preening politicians and blood thirsty generals war? There is an example that serves as a metaphor . The average infantryman in WW II had a rifle and 30 pounds of gear when he was in combat. It cost about $200.00 in total . Today our infantrymen in Afghanistan carry a rifle and 110 pounds of gear! Forget mobility. Forget running. Forget trotting. AND WE WEAR A UNIFORM. But our adversaries in Afghanistan DO NOT WEAR A UNIFORM. And in some cases have dinner at home . Then they grab their rifle. Kiss the mrs.  Put on civilian clothes and walk out the door . The Afghans know who the target is. We don't know until an explosion or a shot is fired. And that's too late. Why has this obvious disadvantage to the local Taliban and Afghans been allowed to continue ?

Here's a fact that may point to the answer. The cost of the full outfitting of one U.S. soldier is $ 24,000.00.
Do you think we have wars to make the military-industrial happy and wealthy?  I believe we do,

The Age of Assassins : History Will Repeat

Julius Caesar was the first de facto emperor of Rome. That was in 49 B.C. He was followed by 94 more emperors.. The last one was Justin II in 578 A.D. Only 32 of the 95 died from natural causes. The rest were assassinated in various forms. The reasons for their deaths were the same as why one would kill a tyrant today. They don't know their limitations and wont take no for an answer.The main assassins were the Praetorian Guard in cahoots with the Roman Senate.There very few individual heroes like Brutus.

     Our 21st century is filled with regional war lords who would become eager emperors if they had their way. A quick tally of the 21st century list of deposed tyrants or hated tyrants or wannabee tyrants is unprecedented . From the United States to North Korea and every nation in between  But where will the assassins come from?

The Afghanistan Mess

Let's see now. The Taliban don't  want us in Afghanistan. The Afghanis want us to leave. The majority of American citizens want us out. Yet we continue with massive casualties and huge drains on our wealth. So who benefits? Warmongers benefit. The military -industrial complex and all the jobs it creates keeps this war going. I'd wager that if most people in the U.S. were asked to choose between their defense jobs or withdrawal from Afghanistan they would choose their continued employment and a continuation of the war at some level.

Philosophy Of Military-Industrial Complex: In Growth We Trust

The military-industrial complex philosophy is, In Growth We Trust. This is self-evident. But because of the limits imposed by a smallish planet, the MIC necessarily needs to be proactive. Therefore they will be seen to first blow-up something then rebuild it.

The appetite of the MIC will grow larger. But correspondingly the reasons to blow-up something will become smaller.
