DESCRIPTION:
Humankind is in an ugly period of suffering in the bloody hands of imbecilic investors in war, who own the American government and media and who cannot stop themselves from planning war, even terminal nuclear war, since they know that wars make money. Their funded elected politicians and media praise war on Memorial Day.
TEXT:
On Memorial Day, be aware of why America’s elected and appointed politicians make a grand show of praising past military service, especially lauding those who were killed in one of the illegal US invasions of so very many smaller countries.
Elected Politicians Had to Vote to Fund Those Wars
(even the wars declared ‘mistakes’ afterward)
Massively murderous crimes against humanity have been openly admitted to by high officials of the government of the United States of America by their characterizing wars as either having been mistakes or bragging about their having been successful.
Americans Vulnerable for Having Confessed or Bragged About Their Illegal, Unconstitutional and Genocidal Crimes
American officials claiming that their mega genocidal invasions, bombings and occupation wars in Vietnam and Iraq were honest mistakes are the two most devastating examples.
”We were wrong, terribly wrong. We owe it to future generations to explain why.” — former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara,[1] speaking of Vietnam.
“It was a mistake, and I acknowledge that,” Presidential candidate Joe Biden referring to Iraq invasion war.[2]
But no talk of Americans paying for their ‘mistakes,’ of years long murder and maiming of millions and the destruction of their countries.
Humankind is in an ugly period of suffering in the bloody hands of imbecilic investors in war, who own the American government and media and who cannot stop themselves from planning war, even terminal nuclear war, since they know from centuries of experience that wars make money.
Just as the CIA and 98% of American media and publishing are under the complete control of the war investors deep state,[3] [4] just so, and perhaps more importantly, are both Democratic and Republican national political parties.[5]
Elected officials of the Federal Government, whether Democrat or Republican, even before being elected, will be aware of their being expected to vote ‘patriotically’ for the funding of US president ordered invasions and bombings and vote in favor of colossal military budgets.
By contrast, officials elected as Independents, as for example Senators Bernie Sanders and Angus King, and US Representative Gregorio Kilili Camacho Sabian, have no obligation to support the insane nuclear war planning and preparations, nor to continue to fund the murderous US military action in Somalia, Yemen, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and covert action as in Syria and elsewhere.
What is being referred to here as the ‘War Investors Deep State,’ was for a while spoken of as the ‘Military Industrial Complex,’ a term injected even into mainstream parlance by good ol’ media-made-likable President ‘Ike’ Eisenhower, who during his last minutes in office warned against the “influence of the military-industrial complex“ that Eisenhower served so obediently in murderously destroying democratic governance in Congo and in Guatemala while bombing Laos and Vietnam and threatening North Korea with Atom bombs.
On Memorial Day, watching the parades and praising of US wars, in the name of all that is holy and the many millions of innocent men, women and children in Third World countries butchered by Americans in uniform using high-tech weaponry, let Americans realize the source of all this genocidal mayhem, namely, the wealthy and powerful investors in war headquartered mainly on Wall Street in New York City’s port area. America’s atrocity wars, apart from the money made from the war itself, are meant to maintain American unjust predatory investments high profitability.
An obvious first step against war would be to decouple the Democratic and Republican parties from the deep state investors in war.
An Ultimate Step Would Be To End War Investors’ Deep State 2 Gang DeMockracy Rule!
Instead of
What’s best for the USA being what is best for the Republican Party,
Or what’s best for the USA being what is best for the Democratic Party
Make Independent Candidacy a Prerequisite
No financial affiliation with a gang of other folks who want to run the country
Instead, independent minded peace loving American candidates for office.
…And Memorial Days that don’t memorialize every and all American wars.
They were all ‘mistakes!’
As Candidate for President Ron Paul said on prime time televised debate coverage in 2012, ‘all the invasions and bombing beginning with Korea have been illegal, unconstitutional and a horrific loss of life.’

3. Albert Einstein described our present world situation way back during the First World War: “How is it at all possible that this culture-loving era could be so monstrously amoral? All our lauded technological progress — our very civilization – is like the axe in the hand of the pathological criminal.” – Albert Einstein, Letter to Heinrich Zangger (1917) In 1950, Einstein explained why our civilization continues to be “like an axe in the had of the pathological criminal,”: “Under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio, education). It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights.” – Albert Einstein, Essays in Humanism
4. Mockingbird was a secret operation by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to influence media. Begun in the 1950s, organization recruited leading American journalists into a network to help present the CIA’s views, and funded some student and cultural organizations, and magazines as fronts and also worked to influence foreign media and political campaigns.
After 1953, Operation Mockingbird had major influence over 25 newspapers and wire agencies. The usual methodology was placing reports developed from intelligence provided by the CIA to witting or unwitting reporters. Those reports would then be repeated or cited by the preceding reporters which in turn would then be cited throughout the media wire services. These networks were run by people with well-known pro-American big business and anti-communist views.
“The CIA currently maintains a network of individuals around the world who attempt to influence opinion through the use of covert propaganda, and provide direct access to a large amount of newspapers and periodicals, scores of press services and news agencies, radio and television stations, commercial book publishers, and other foreign media outlets.”

5. President Franklin Roosevelt, “The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the Government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson — and I am not wholly excepting the Administration of W. W. The country is going through a repetition of Jackson’s fight with the Bank of the United States — only on a far bigger and broader basis.” Letter to Col. Edward Mandell House (21 November 1933); as quoted in F.D.R.: His Personal Letters, 1928-1945, edited by Elliott Roosevelt (New York: Duell, Sloan and Pearce, 1950), pg. 373
