Politikerbyrden mener at dine (og andres) penge i endnu højere grad skal bruges på ‘forsvar’. En række kriminelle organisationer har rottet sig sammen og kalder deres bande for ‘Nato’ – nu har nogle af capo’erne indvilget i at skrue op for beskyttelsespengene. Det ville jo være synd hvis der skete noget med din ejendom. Som i øvrigt ikke er din ejendom. Banden efterlader en smule af det du har produceret, og bruger rovet til at smøre vennerne og levere elendig service til de plyndrede. Vi forventes at være taknemmelige. Krigsskatten kommer nok, selvom ‘råderummet’ endnu engang er opjusteret.

I stedet for at lukke Rusland ind i varmen da soviet-regimet brød sammen, blev landet plyndret, og nogle få blev meget rige.
“And he said to me and to my colleagues, gentlemen, I want to tell you, the Soviet Union is over. I heard it probably first in the world, directly from President Yeltsin in December 1991.”
“And Yeltsin said at the time, I want us to be a normal country. We want a normal economy, Mr. Sachs. We want a normal democratic political system.
We want to be friends with the United States. And I, in my naivete, said to him, President Yeltsin, I can assure you, the American people will want to partner with Russia to have a future of peace and economic cooperation. And I was completely convinced of it.
I thought this is the most historic moment imaginable. I was pinching myself, can you believe you’re sitting in the Kremlin hearing from the president of Russia, the end of the Soviet Union? And I had that blessing.
It was unbelievable. I was wrong because as soon as the Soviet Union ended, what did the deep state say? Well, they said, this is great.
Now we need to dismember Russia too. Just like the Soviet Union broke apart on its ethnic lines, Russia is fragile. Maybe as Big Brzezinski opined, maybe it’ll be three different parts.
Maybe there’ll be a European part, a Siberian part and a Far East part. The arrogance, the hubris is unbelievable on the American side. But the idea was Cold War over.
It’s ridiculous. Now we go on to surround Russia. Now we go on to chip apart Russia.
One of the favorite phrases in Washington used to be to decolonize Russia. It meant that we can break away different regions of Russia, Chechnya or this region or that region. Why?
It’s a big power. We’re the only big power that should be on the planet.”

5% af BNP er monstrøst mange penge der alle kunne gøre mere nytte hvis folk selv fik lov at bruge dem, som de finder bedst. Risikoen for at andre overfalder os ville være mindre hvis vi ikke var med i den bande der har de fleste overfald på samvittigheden i nyere tid.

…That is to say, the War Capital of the World bivouacked on the Potomac has outfitted the Oval Office with a War Machine that is mainly designed for the pursuit of Empire, not the maintenance of Homeland Security. And now the American people have mistakenly elected a brash, ill-informed Caesarist, whose unquenchable ego is bound and determined to use them.
