(32,324 posts)Who knows whether this is all somepart of a "Grand Plan" or just one element that has gone its own way.
From 1964 to Spring 1975, our nation spent twenty billions of dollars bombing the people of Vietnam back to the stone age.
For that amount of money we could have bought every household in South And North Vietnam a new house. Equipped with luxury items. So why do we always go the war route?
Perhaps it boils down to this: the inner cabal prefers war as the destruction it creates has to do with their love of control. If a truly prosperous society were to come about, it would threaten these monsters.
George Orwell went to great lengths to explain this. It is not just about earnings per se, but the fact that the inner cabal want and I guess "need" to be the only people with a sense of well being, while the rest of us are nervous wrecks, especially the people whose societies they have chosen to destroy. (And currently that includes our own ravaged society.)
