Books – War Is Making Us Poor

Now available!

Every war the U.S. has fought since World War II was a war of choice. None of them were necessary. They represent a colossal waste of money and human lives. The U.S. has had no real adversary since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1992. Yet, over the last thirty-two years, it has spent over $17 trillion on its military, fighting conflicts it didn’t need to fight, buying military junk it didn’t need, building hundreds of bases around the world which only serve to create animosity and chaos. Now the U.S. government is over $34 trillion in debt. The American public likewise is awash in debt, to the tune of $18 trillion. The message of this book is simply this . . .

War is making us poor! War is destroying us as a people. War is bankrupting our country politically, spiritually, socially, and economically. Peace is not possible without ousting and replacing the power-drunk, empire-building, war-crazed lunatics now in control of our foreign policy and military institutions.

WAR IS MAKING US POOR! is not more analysis and whining. It offers specific things we can do to head off catastrophe — the end of America as a functioning nation — which is inevitable unless we as a country and society force a 180º change in our foreign and military policies.

A powerful and empowering collection of commentaries and insights by some of today’s most respected political thinkers. The world is a mess and America is in big trouble. Despite the finger-pointing, it is the U.S. itself which is causing its own problems. Perpetual war is destroying our nation. To stop the unfolding disaster, we must honestly look at how our own leadership and policies have led the country astray. This book is the perfect place to start.

Featuring commentary by Noam Chomsky, Larry Wilkerson, Paul Craig Roberts, Mark Skidmore, Coleen Rowley, William J. Astore, Abby Martin, Dan Kovalik, Lee Camp, Finian Cunningham, Michael T. Klare, Cynthia McKinney, Scott Ritter, Joe Lombardo, Bruce Gagnon, Norman Solomon, Peter Kuznick, Ajamu Baraka, Margaret Kimberley, Matthew Hoh, Garland Nixon, and Dennis Kucinich.

The Peace Dividend Strategy is a direct attack on America’s systemic addiction to war by appealing to the self-interest of its citizens.The Peace Dividend concept literally INCENTIVIZES citizens to redirect their thinking and start WORKING FOR PEACE!With the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1992, American citizens were promised a “peace dividend”, i.e. less money for war, more for peace and a good life for all. The U.S. military under misguided leadership has attacked eight countries since then. The defense budget has exploded, buying a lot of junk that doesn’t work and military hardware we don’t need. This is not pocket change. The fraudulent wars and waste by the military amounts to no less than $6.83 trillion! This is money U.S. citizens paid as taxes in good faith, trusting their leaders were telling them the truth. They weren’t. They lied to us! The $6.83 trillion was taken under fraudulent terms, and squandered. Our “peace dividend” is now due and payable. This equates to $20,544 for each and every living U.S. citizen. A family of four will get a refund of over $82,000. This short book explains how we can get our money back and put America back on a path of peace and prosperity for future generations.
