"Made in America"

But really, if one steps back and makes a critical assessment of US engagement in all conflicts, the intent seems to create chaos in the world that justifies the military expenditures while promoting the necessity of the national security surveillance state to "defend" the American people who have been made fearful by US and media propaganda against Islamic terrorists which WE created.

That's right, the terrorists WE created; from the arms we supplied to Osama bin Laden and his Mujahedeen fighting against the Soviets in Afghanistan in the 1980's to the CIA training and supplying ISIS-now the Islamic State-in Jordan to fight against Assad in Syria it is the nefarious US regime that has brought havoc to the Muslim world and all "Made in the USA".

Funny that used to be on the manufacturing labels of US made goods and clothing promoting "Made in America".

Well we hardly manufacture anything in America nowadays, but we sure as hell manufacture chaos and mayhem stoking the flames of war creating instability in the world.
