on our backs.
Corruption
at every level....
Endless war machine,
insurance companies,
Big Pharma (with all their commercials),
Big agri-biz,
The aerospace/planetary colonizer gang,
💰 Steve Hanke, Professor of Applied Economics at Johns Hopkins University:
If you look at the total amount of money pumped into Ukraine since 2022, it's approximately $360 billion [many observers believe the Ukraine funding number is well over $500 b]. According to my calculations, the corruption component of this sum is somewhere between 15-30%. Perhaps closer to 30%. That's exactly how much American aid was stolen in Afghanistan. There, corruption was exactly 30%. I think it's about the same with Ukraine. And that's a lot of money. Even at the minimum, 15%, the thieves pocketed $54 billion. And at 30%, that's $108 billion. It's not cheap!

"the wedding of corporations and government"
That is the classic definition of Fascism.
I just finished a giant transcript of a very erudite discussion between Dirk Pohlmann, Dr. Ola Tunander, and host Pascal Lottaz. The series is called "Neutrality Studies."
They examine in great detail the "other" aspect of this marriage made in Hell, that of blackmailing or exposing opponents of their larcenous policies, if that is possible. The alternative is a very professional assassination, with no convenient way to place blame.
What more is there to say!
