Follow the Money

[Sergei]

Instead of arguing over a bunch of crap maybe people should take a very close look at: who owns the companies that make the most money from WAR, who are the people who make the decisions to go to WAR, and who controls the BIG financial interests in what idiots call the "West." This is the only way to understand why things turn out as they do.

It's a very easy undertaking, I did it years ago, and all one has to do is see who are the big shareholders in the companies that are behind the evils of the world (in most so-called Western countries, any shareholder who holds at least 10% of the outstanding shares of a company is required to declare it - anyone remember the scandal with Altamira's equity fund manager?)

Follow the money and find the truth, I say. Like I've said before on this board, paraphrasing Benjamin Disraeli: People have no idea that the world is actually run by people who have NOTHING to do with the people in "power."

Except of course that they finance them.

What People will do for money, yet the right conditions for war must exist. It is often said that Pearl Harbor attack could of been stopped, or at least those at Pearl Harbor could of been notified, but were not.

I have heard it said that a little while before the World Trade Towers got hit, they had looked into the cost of taking them down as they would soon become unsafe, and would need alot of structural repairs or to come down. To take them down was about 1 Trillion dollars. I think the repairs would cost more.

There are always those that stand to make alot during war. Halliburton is a prime example, and the most noted one by the media. I am sure there are others who are flying under the radar.

Alot of jobs and the economy profit from defense spending. One should also note the increases in science during the great wars. Alot of what was developed for war has been turned to non war uses afterwards. Even the medical field developed alot due to all the injuries. War is not good, but sometimes we have to do it. Look for pluses where you find them, but it is the companies that look to make money by pushing and promoting war and hatred that are the ones we need to deal with.
