This “Uncle Scam” series will end now with this one, because I don’t want to bore you. Let’s consider Afghanistan and Libya. Both total absurdities, and both guaranteed to make Arabs and Muslims hate us.
We’ve been in Afghanistan for ten long years, with nothing accomplished, other than spending hundreds of billions of dollars, killing thousands of innocents, thousands of Americans killed or maimed, infuriating everyone, and once again proving that the ’military-industrial complex,’ as Eisenhower warned us about, reigns supreme. George Bush did it without a Constitutional, Congressional declaration of an official war. Why? Because bin Laden supposedly had something to do with 9/11, although he immediately denied any such involvement. Who did 9/11? Arabs? Larry Silverstein? Anyone else?
Larry Silverstein had recently leased the buildings, which had been unprofitable since they were built, and getting rid of the eyesores and collecting billions in insurance payments, would have been fine with him, which he did. Estimates of demolishing them were in the hundreds of billions, and would take years. They were demolished in seconds. World Trade Center # 7, had nothing to do with Silverstein, and went down with the others, and all were obvious professional demolitions. There was no plane wreckage at the Pentagon, and such a flight was impossible anyway. Obviously, the Pentagon was hit by a missile, and this had nothing to do with Silverstein. The supposed plane crash in Pennsylvania had no wreckage either, but was merely a big hole in the ground, which was like no other plane crash in history. When the two planes were obviously off course and headed towards the World Trade Centers, isn’t it strange that no fighters were launched to intercept them?
I have no idea who was responsible for the World Trade Center demolishing, but it wasn’t two planes crashing into them, as they were so strong and well built, that two planes and brief fires outside the buildings, never could have taken them down, and # 7’s demolition had no planes hitting them. Isn’t it entirely possible that there is something so sinister and hidden, that we will never know, just like the JFK assassination? Is it possible that the military-industrial complex needed work? After all, we weren’t at war, and America is always at war it seems, to the profit of the military-industrial complex. An unfathomable, mysterious complex. A classic Uncle Scam deal, which no one can put their finger on, define, or identify.
A few thousand rebels decided that they had enough of Libya’s 42 year dictator, and like Egypt, Bahrain, Tunisia, etc, decided to revolt. Did the military-industrial complex tell Obama to suddenly, and of course without Congressional approval, decide to bomb Libya? Did Obama convince NATO to also bomb? Why? Why are we bombing Libya? Why are we destroying Libya’s buildings and infrastructure? Is Gadaffi a nice guy? No, but he’s been there for 42 years, and Libya was doing just fine under him. Why Libya and nothing else? Why bomb at all?
Why aren’t we neutral? Why can’t we bring the troops home? Why did we go to Iraq, Vietnam and Korea? Why have over a hundred thousand American soldiers died in pointless wars? Do we have to be constantly at war? Why did Woodrow Wilson get us into WW I, after it was almost over anyway? Why did FDR so infuriate and squeeze Japan, that they attacked us at Pearl Harbor. Why did Britain declare war on Germany? Because Germany invaded Poland? That was no threat to England, but Britain declared war on Germany, and that resulted in Germany bombing England. Did WW II really have to happen, or was Germany trying to recover land taken from them after WW I? Did the Treaty of Versailles after WW I, cause WW II? Why does Uncle Scam keep us at war, seemingly perpetually, and continually?
