No Leaving The Middle East

Do you think we are leaving the Middle East? Do you think our occupation of Iraq or Afghanistan will end? Do you think it is an accident that we have over 800 military bases in over 150 Countries? BTW google to confirm. Do you think its an accident that we spend more on military than the rest of the world COMBINED? Perhaps these numbers mean nothing to you or you refuse to even accept them as valid…fine. But understand the next part of this. It will help you understand WHY!

This country embarked on a peacetime militarism after World War II that prompted Eisenhower to become so alarmed that he “cleverly” waited until the END of his two terms to issue his famous speech “beware of the military industrial complex”. Please note his word choice. He didn’t utter the warning of the ominous Chinese or the ominous Ruskies or the ominous Muslims. He didn’t have the “War on Terrorism” yet or we could have thrown that one in. Did you know Eisenhower was the first American President to decide to give a “Farewell speech”? AND WHY on this subject? Why would the Supreme Allied Commander and West Point graduate from Red as Red Kansas be so alarmed about the new word he would coin “The Military Industrial Complex”?

Reagan promised to increase miltary spending and not only did he increase it …he doubled it. We doubled the debt our country had accumulated from Washington up to his election. No conservative even blinked. Russia was already broke but every poilitcal idealogue jumped on the bandwagon to proclaim the buildup of our military spending as the reason the wall came down. I love it. Russia was broke because of Afghanistan and their military spending and of course their piss poor excuse of political system Communism/socialism. They had a corrupt oligarchy that had created a complete lack of confidence by their populace. They kept their control through a harsh military presence in their population and the secret police ….KGB. Sound familiar?? Their people had lost their freedom as the rest of the world passed them by. When they started receiving CNN live in Russia…..it was all over for the ruse.

Where are WE today in the scheme of things. We are in a state of MALINVESTMENT that is going to strangle our country until we face up to its threat. If we ended the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq tomorrow and brought home the troops and contractors and layed off all of the related jobs in the states right now that are supporting the military industrial complex Directly involved with JUST those two wars. We would be in INSTANT Depression. Unemployment would explode to over 20%. The U6 unemployment would be approaching 30%…..higher than the Great Depression. So you see….it is NOT going to happen. Those of you who believe that we are engaged in a “War on Terrorism” can relax….we will continue this war in perpetuity… IT IS WRITTEN.

Now for the good stuff. It gets better. Eisenhower warned of the global idealogical war that would be used to perpetuate the military industrial complex…at that time it was Communism…..with that collapse another had to be created……now it is “terrorism”. The “War on Terrorism”. What better war to have. One that you can perpetuate yourself by a Middle East Policy that creates martyrs and enemies by the tens of thousands on a daily basis. Its perfect. So you see, we aren’t leaving. Not only that but we are going to get more deeply involved. Its not that we can afford to do this kind of involvement. Its that we have structured our economy through malinvestment to where we CANNOT stop creating war. So be happy. Rest assured your able bodied children have a future. Joe Lieberman John McCain and any other democrat or republican is going to keep this going………hehehehee…its the game. gl and have a nice weekend…….we have enemies EVERYWHERE!!!!!!
