Guest Post by Antonius Aquinas
Two recent articles* have again demonstrated that the greatest “terrorist” entity on earth is not the bogymen – Russia, China, Iran, North Korea – so often portrayed by Western presstitudes and the American government, but the United States itself! Ever since World War II, the US has been the most militaristic, far surpassing all of the Communist and dictatorial regimes combined.
Some startling and rarely reported facts:
- Currently, the US drops on someone or something a deadly explosive once every12 minutes
- W. Bush’s military dropped 70,000 bombs on five different nations during his murderous regime
- Nobel Peace Prize recipient, Barrack Obomber, launched 100,000 bombs on seven countries
- Funding this mass murder is a reportedly $21 trillion (!) that is unaccounted for in the Pentagon’s coffers
Despite all of the “America First” bluster at the start of the Trump Administration, little has changed but, in fact, things have escalated. While G.W. Bush in his wicked eight years dropped over 24 bombs per day and his successor upped that total to 34 bombs per day, the current Bomber-in-Chief has, in his first year in office, averaged 121 bombs per day! For the initial year of his Presidency, 44,000 bombs were dropped on people and lands despite the fact that the US is not officially at war with a single country!
Despite these grisly statistics, which are hardly ever reported by the mainstream press, the military industrial complex and the controlled Western media outlets have propagated the lie of “precision bombing.” Precision bombing has been trumpeted to minimize the effect of US aggression to the public that only true belligerents are targeted and not innocents.
When US bombing is reported by the press, the actual casualties and property damage are never accurately given. The most notorious example of this mendacity was the coverage of Bush II’s Iraq war. “The US and its allies ruthlessly carpet-bombed Iraq,” a UN report acknowledged, “reducing it from ‘a rather highly urbanized and mechanized society’ to a ‘pre-industrial age nation.’”
Later accounts of what actually happened showed that “only seven percent of the 88,500 tons of bombs and missiles devastating Iraq were ‘precision weapons.’”
Despite these facts, US policy makers have the gall to call certain regimes “rogue” and/or “terrorist.” Do not look for any de-escalation, however, as “defense” spending for 2018 is set at $700 billion with an increase of $16 billion in the following year. Yes, more taxes extorted from the public for the pulverization of peoples and their homes across the globe!
Even if these statistics were of common knowledge, do not look for things to change. The majority of the American public loves its military and government and has been conditioned to overlook and accept nearly all of its military engagements and the propaganda that attempts to justify them.
What must change is ideology which, at one time, was strongly anti-interventionist, but gradually became pro-war. Through education, the press, books, and the electronic media, the intelligentsia was able to manipulate public opinion. Americans began to glorify war under the guise of spreading democracy and “freedom” to everyone, whether they wanted it or not.
Under current ideological conditions, a reversal of thinking to a non-interventionist foreign policy is not likely. The only way that the nation’s rampaging foreign policy will be checked is through an economic collapse or a severe dollar crisis, the latter of which would end the greenback’s status as the world’s reserve currency.
If America no longer has the means to fund its military around the world, its imperialism will quickly come to an end. It is extremely burdensome on a domestic economy to maintain a global empire and one that is actively engaged in costly military operations. If the nation’s economy severely contracts or the dollar can no longer be printed with impunity, the bombing of other peoples and political involvement in overseas affairs would have to cease, or be drastically curtailed. A historical example of this is Great Britain after WWII.
As it stands now, only financial calamity will bring down the world’s foremost terrorist state. If such a scenario comes about, the US may become the recipient of the destruction, loss of life, and mayhem it has unleashed upon the world.

Godam neocon’s and zionist jew butcher’s. They and their puppets bushwacker,clinton,bomber and the current puppet need to be taken out. If satanyahoo were removed it would be a much better world.
The only issue I have with this article, is the assertion that taxes are paying for the military. Some portion, for sure. However, the US military budget, like Rome’s in it’s glory days, is paid by tribute. It’s not an obvious tribute, but one still the same.
The dollar, as reserve currency, and its most important use as a petrodollar, is used for account settlement and commodity pricing globally, and is the means for financing US deficits, and hence, the military.
Merchandise account surplus countries, recycling their dollar reserves by funding the US capital account perpetually since WWII, is what primarily funds the military. All the blather about NATO not funding the cost of US protection is all bullshit. This form of second order tribute does the job quite nicely.
Now, ultimately, we are the hook for all that dollar denominated debt – eventually. Nothing a printing press can’t cure, I’m sure.
Rt..
In addition regular debasement of said currency is a world tax or so it seems to me.
10-4.
This is what I keep a keen focus on. Tax cuts, the judicial nomination of ‘conservatives’ and fiat deregulation are what the repo’s have dangled before us for a generation now. It’s monetary and foreign policy that are the cutting edge issues of a real patriot in the WH. I give trump great credit for his rapprochement with NoKo which is admirable and I applaud his efforts. But that’s a side show the NeoRats and Anglo-Zionists Money Changers have no passion for. It’s when negative interest rates are shoved up our asses and the war on Iran is thrust upon us that we’ll all know (those not brain dead sycophants) that we’ve been led down the bunny trail-again or have a true hero in the white house.
The world will be so much better off after the United States is gone.
Which is probably going to be soon.
Antonius Aquinas is spot on to state the obvious, and brave or foolhardy.
No one with a shred of humanity should be willing to tolerate this and support it with there efforts, that includes the troops, taxpayers and supposed leadership of what was sold as a force for good in the world, democracy is a lie.
This list isn’t complete. I’m assuming you count drone strikes. Several years ago, the US hit the Philippines.
Well, if we are going to bring up the Philippines, we could discuss the US atrocities in that nation during the Spanish-American war as we subdued any possible independence these “savages” thought they were going to get once they were out from under the thumb of Spain.
You fucking commie pussies wouldn’t last a minute with me. Come to Greenbow Alabama you pukes and I’ll teach y’all what freedom means. I’m fit and mean as a snake since Billah’s wife finally moved in a few months ago.
It’s only fair to see the Chinese embassy incident make the list, however… the rape of Kosovo and Serbia is much more far reaching.
All those bombs dropped needlessly. The only bombs the US shoulda dropped is on the UK. And maybe Australia. And maybe Canada for good measure. Stupid bastards.
