How long will America feed illegal wars with our blood?

"Without public debate and without congressional hearings, a segment of the Pentagon and fellow travelers have embraced a doctrine known as the Long War, which projects an "arc of instability" caused by insurgent groups from Europe to South Asia that will last between 50 and 80 years. According to one of its architects, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan are just "small wars in the midst of a big one."

War has always been good for "business" and Central Banks. It is too profitable an enterprise for it ever to be abandoned by the few who profit.

How can you break the banks? It is their fictional currency. We simply pledge ourselves as human capital for their eternal profit. They would simply print a new fiat currency after one collapses. The slave trade is going nowhere anytime soon.

"Small wars in the midst of a big one" = Biblical Prophecy

One day you people will finally acknowledge as much.

The Long War was a term coined after 9/11. It refers more to being prepared to fight Al Qaida/insurgent types for the next 50-80 years than it does to "being at war" & occupying foreign countries for 50-80 years.

Yes, in order to fully understand the Israeli dilemma one must at least understand the historical and biblical context.

NONE of this is new. ALL of it has been prophesied.

Why would you say that? I don't believe in war or private monopolies over currency.
