"You can't spend your way out of problems. You have to produce your way out of problems."
Scarcity, desperation, revolutions. We can see the trends now with the U.S. illegal drone attacks in Pakistan; increasing military presence in Latin America under the guise of "War on Drugs"; threats and sanctions against Iran; Israel's escalation of violence; North Korea-South Korea threats of war; disintegration of the European Union; out-of-control government and personal debt in all developed countries.
The industrial-military complex, now largely owned by Wall Street, is plotting world-wide chaos to justify its existence, extend globalization, and maximize profits. But this strategy will backfire as evinced by growing citizen revolt round the world: protests in Greece and across Europe against austerity measures; factory strikes in China for decent wage and living conditions; and growing discontent in the U.S. expressed by movements such as the Tea Party--albeit misguided--, and the defeat of incumbents in recent primaries.
Scapegoating of immigrants rings of nazzism. And that is in fact what happens when government and major corporations become one, as it happened in the U.S with the corporate bailouts by taxpayers dictated by the government beginning with the G.W. Bush administration in 2007, and currently continued by Obama. That is the corporate state that Mussolini prescribed to Hitler.
Question to ask: how come we have major military presence in every drug producing country in the world?
Would it be too conspiratory to respond that we are the greatest drug consuming country int the world?
Poppy fields in Afghanistan, coca fields in Latin America.
