Exposing the fraud of endless wars and militarization.
The peace dividend: Instead of our money going for weapons of war, it would be spent on the people, creating a better life for all Americans. The peace dividend never arrived. Instead, the US went on the warpath and the DOD went on a spending spree.
The wars are predicated on lies. The wars are bankrupting our beautiful country.
Why the endless wars? Follow the money. Billions and billions are being made on war. The US has bought military junk it doesn’t need, fought wars it didn’t need to fight. And the gravy train keeps running on time. Colossal piles of money go into the coffers of the defense industry and ultimately into the bank accounts of the wealthy. Everyday citizens pay for this. More and more they are struggling to survive and our once-great nation continues its steady decline into poverty and dysfunction.
The accelerating militarism and endless wars are bankrupting our country, spiritually, socially, politically, and financially.
Militarization is destroying the US. The colossal squandering of our national resources and tax dollars is bankrupting our country. WAR IS MAKING US POOR!
