No doubt 2025 will be another banner year of record profits for the US weapons makers and multinational oil companies. Even though US troops aren’t currently engaged [officially] anywhere, the war machine still raked in trillions of dollars in profits supplying military operations in Israel and Ukraine.

Apparently there is no power in heaven or on earth that can stop the Israeli genocide in Gaza. That much is certain. The US congress can’t stop the arms shipments, no matter how many lawmakers vote against more aid. They can’t even slow down the flow of arms to global pariah states like Israel.

In a real democracy, this would have caused a major scandal. Especially considering it is against US law to sell weapons to states suspected of illegally possessing nuclear weapons…

The fact that there is no mechanism in the US government with the ability to regulate the sales of US made weapons of mass destruction to bad actors such as Israel should raise some big fucking red flags…but this is the USA, so no one bats an eye…

Here is proof right in your face that this country is not ruled by The Constitution, or by the rule of law, or by ‘the people’ – or by any political party.

Since the coup in 1963 ‘America’ has been owned and operated by the Military-Industrial Complex [MIC].

This is no joke. The MIC consists of The Pentagon, DoD, Navy and weapons makers like Lockheed-Martin, Boeing and Raytheon.

Oil companies like ARAMCO and Exxon and Chevron are heavily invested in the perpetual war state as well.

Major pharmaceutical corporations and Healthcare companies also support the MIC’s objectives.

And of course, the tech billionaires who handle all of the logistics for the War Machine are making a killing. Literally.

Americans really don’t have a clue what’s really going on.

Rule #1 in the MIC is the unregulated sale of weapons of mass destruction to literally anyone who will pay for them, including despotic, nuclear pariah nations like Ukraine, Saudi Arabia and Israel.

Most normal people still think that the war in Ukraine is a terrible tragedy. A lot of people [not nearly enough!] are upset about the genocide in Gaza. Human beings who possess a soul can see the pain and suffering of others and feel empathy.

Unfortunately, the folks in the MIC couldn’t be happier. Perpetual, open-ended conflicts are the gifts that keep on giving. The shareholders are overjoyed. Plus, they’ve got the reliable old CIA as their government funded fire-starter, discovering ever more creative ways to start wars and military conflicts on behalf of their clients [see above].

When the revenue stream concerns of the MIC can over-ride US congressional oversight or approval, what kind of fucking country do people think we are living in? Every year without fail the federal funding for the ‘Defense budget’ is increased to record levels. It’s called the ‘National Defense Authorization Act.’ Last year it was almost a trillion dollars. This year it will be another record-setter.

We set a lot of records in the USA, but sadly not the good kind.

No matter that the country is literally coming apart at the seams. Poverty and homelessness are on the rise. Society is crumbling before our eyes and there isn’t a damn thing we can do about it.

REMEMBER: ALL OF THE MONEY MUST GO TO THE WAR MACHINE. ALL OF IT! Every stinkin’ penny…the rest of the country can starve to death for all they care. That is what we call patriotism.

Thank god people have finally gotten over that whole silly idea that we can simply “vote out” the bad guys…I guess it took Trump to finally hammer home that point. They are ALL bad guys now. The four or five liberal democrats still around have zero political power and are not a threat to the MIC. They will soon be gone.

As American citizens, we don’t have the power to stop the wars, or to even curtail weapons sales to despots, for fuck’s sake. The MIC is a power unto itself. If they want to keep the wars going, they will continue until they find a new one. Or they can always just sell a few hundred billion to the Arabs.

“Peace Accords” are a laughable thing of the past. Does anyone wonder why the USA is never involved in negotiating peaceful resolutions to global crises anymore? Duh.

We have to come to terms with the fact that America is not a representative government, or a democracy, or even a republic: Democrats, Republicans – it makes no difference. All that ‘checks and balances’ bullshit is irrelevant now.

The USA is ruled by a bloodthirsty military JUNTA whose only goal is to create more avenues for weapons sales. The more chaos and strife, the better. That is the brutal reality.

American troops garrison the planet, enforcing the global prison in every corner of the world [close to 900 bases at last count..!]. We are all literally being held prisoner in a dystopian nightmare police state intent on increasing the stock portfolios of the MIC…above all else. We are the guinea pigs for their little social engineering experiment. Kinda like shooting fish in a barrel…

This year saw record profits for the warmongers…because shareholders demand quarterly profits…and so they have to maintain that level of growth to stay in the black. This should scare a lot of people. The MIC needs to keep those profits rolling in at all costs, so the only question now is: where will the next war be? You can only kill so many innocent women and children in Gaza, and the Ukraine war will likely fizzle out under the Trump regime, so…my guess is that Iran is next on the hit list. Or possibly a limited engagement in North Korea or China..?

It’s not like any of us can do anything about it.
