How Endless War Bankrupted the US While Inflicting Mass Suffering at Home
Mr. Greenwald comes very close to the heart of the matter.
The wealth of the People and the People’s lands, across the nation and all over the world, is sucked up by the tentacles of the Moloch Empire and used only to feed its foul self and its most loyal house servants.
Meaning, if you go to college, you might end up qualified to work in the Big House, and not the field.
The buffalo had to die because they, and the land on which they subsisted, were allowing people to live in real freedom. In England the same lands in Common, the Common Wealth, was gobbled up by their own version of the local machine. Colonialism everywhere insured that the evil process was repeated wherever people lived under no one’s thumb.
Once their ability to live free was eliminated, they became slaves, whether they were red or black or white.
Slaves to the wage, slaves to the bossmaster, slaves to the gods of Mammon and Moloch.
The machine will be fed first, whether the slaves eat at all, or not.
The machine will be housed in oligarchic opulence even if slaves sleep under bridges, and when they certainly do, the compliant slaves will murmur about how tragic it is that the poorly compliant slaves are drunks and substance abusers and lazy, and crazy.
Sanity is a precious luxury bought with bits of your soul.
Sanity is a Christmas bonus that you get for being a good slave.
The wars will continue regardless of how many slave legs are shackled or blown off; how many brains are vaporized.
It’s non-negotiable.
It’s harshly obvious by now that distractions like abortion and wokeness and weed and whoever is selling you Bud Light this month mean absolutely nothing compared to the conditions of your enslavement and that of everyone you know.
It doesn’t matter at all if the nice old blue fool or the ugly old red fool is said to be your elected leader, because the legalized slavery and the wars for the sake of war will go on and on and on until you’re planted in the ground, and on past that until the machine burns itself and your children and the whole world alive.
There is one issue.
It is called: the economics of killer capitalism.
Everything else comes later and is subsidiary at best.
