The US crisis with the industrial miltary complex

The current crisis in the US government and the influence of the military-industrial complex is a complex and multifaceted issue. Here are some key points to consider: 1. Influence of Defense Contractors: The military-industrial complex refers to the close relationship between the defence industry, the military establishment, and the government. Defence contractors, which include major…

Navy Mule...

A Page from the History of Opium Trade...

From the end of WWII till recently, the number one importer of Heroin into the United States of America was the U.S. Navy, albeit as the mule. This has been a known fact within the Intelligence Agencies of America, providing you have the pay grade. I can hear a choir of Trolls singing “Conspiracy Theory”. Not to give standing to the Trolls; but rather a degree of critical thought requires a pause and suspicious doubt to such a brazen statement. Since I obviously am not going to produce the ledger sheets on DoD letterhead of such an operation. Allow me to lay a trail of bread crumb highlights with commentary which when the dots are connected draw a picture highly indicative of the Fact.

Prior to WWII, New York had successfully prosecuted organized crime. Resulting in the Don of Dons Lucky Luciano and numerous others being sent to Sing Sing to serve multiple life sentences. With the advent of WWII the expediencies of war meant dancing with the devil. The docks along the eastern seaboard were even back then controlled by elements of organized crime. Nonetheless these individuals being Americans gladly mobilized to protect the docks against sabotage. This arrangement worked so well that military intelligence (OSS) asked if they (La Cosa Nostra) could assist further in the war effort. So the Dons called in favors back in the Olde Country, for most that meant Sicily. As a consequence Patton took Sicily in record time (thirty-eight days) to the surprise of all combat strategist. This was in large part due to the assistance of the Dons and their organized crime network. This unholy alliance continued on through the end of WWII. Following the end of WWII Lucky Luciano and over one hundred mob bosses all with multiple life sentences had their sentences commuted and were deported back to their home countries. This an obvious payment for their efforts in support of the Allied Forces during the war. In the aftermath of WWII, America and Western Europe were obsessed with stemming the Red threat of Communism. At this transitional point the Allied Intelligence Services were not what they ultimately would become. They lacked structure and more importantly the financial resources to exert their influence or agendas. With Red Rallies being organized all over Europe, particularly in the former Fascist States. Our Foreign and Military Intelligence Services and Agencies sought the means of disrupting these Rallies and the networks being used to organize this new perceived threat. Lacking resources and personnel our Intelligence Services turned once again to Olde Allies, the Dons of La Cosa Nostra. The Dons didn't have a problem sending billy-boys with their truncheons to literally break-up rallies, meetings and the headquarters of any “Red” or similar political group. Operations such as these are a rather straight forward affair, the only real problem was the associated cost in fielding and paying these henchmen and the like. Soooo, to defray these costs the Don of Dons came to an understanding and arrangement with Military Intelligence (OSS). The Families of La Cosa Nostro would cover the majority of the cost for personnel and their operations. In exchange the Navy with their ship docked in the Mediterranean and the coast of France would provide one cargo hold to the Families. The contents would be loaded prior to departure. The cargo hold would have the highest degree of security and protection, not even the Captain of the vessel was permitted to enter the hold. Once the vessel reached stateside, the contents would be unloaded and delivered to stipulated locations in secrecy under the mandates of National Security. From these locations the product, “China White” was distributed to ghettos and targeted communities across America. A percentage of the proceeds paid for our covert war against Communism. As the “threat” became defined and objectives to fight it were laid out. Our legislature began to fund more and more of these operations particularly under “MAD” (mutual assured destruction).

I invite you to do your own research on the subject. While doing so, consider our current opioid epidemic. Which is being fueled from elsewhere. A trade which was nearly stopped by the previous Administration. What do “open” boarders really mean, the flow is even now becoming a flood once again, and more. For a variety of reasons I am acquainted with what is trafficked across our Mexican Boarder. Over the past couple of decades I have been shocked at the shear volume coming into America. A fifth column action, please think.

why do you love airplanes so much? dont get me wrong, it's endearing, but im curious what it is about them for you!

i mean flying is just inherently cool as hell like we made big ol' metal things with wings and they can FLY with us IN THEM what isn't there to be obsessed with.

plus the intricate complexities of both the engineering of airplanes and the training needed to fly and the human organization of flight spaces and airports and whatever it's just really cool. The unspoken diplomacy of civil aviation also really gets me also i just think there's something admirable about an organization of disparate countries and people coming together to support and facilitate flight and transportation. There's a lot of environmental problems with it and other drawbacks but it really feels like one of the pinnacles of human achievement to me that we as a species can fly. you know?

I think from thousands of feet in the air we can really appreciate the meaninglessness of borders. of countries. It's all one place and we're all one people. and we can fucking fly in the sky because were clever enough to do that!!! insane!!!! etc etc etc

#fuck warplanes and fighter jets though. i can appreciate history but the miltary industrial complex and its chokehold #on aerospace innovation is fucking evil blatantly and i hope it shits itself and dies

Rose Hathaway, please learn about the industrial miltary complex and how you as a gaurdian, you're in your world's version of it. I cannot, CANNOT hear you wah wah about "blood whores" anymore, and how they're selling their bodies! You are too, out of duty! It's a shit system all the way down, baby! No retirement package for you?! No health care?! You don't even get paid for your job! (If they do, I'm assuming it's low wages?)

Have some critical thinking skills, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!

It should be the law of the land, except healthcare wouldn’t be put on the backs of employers, it would be national health service paid for by taxes and by cutting the miltary industrial complex budget BY HALF!!

everything you’ve said, anon! 10/10!

though its not so much that the narritive comes down on Bucky’s side, it’s more that when it comes to those racially tense moments between Bucky and Sam, the show takes a centerist angle. It portrays both sides as equally valid. The producers want us to think that Bucky’s refusal to see the racism factor in Sam’s decision to give the shield up is an equally valid perspective alongside Sam’s conflict on being a mascot to a country that hates him as a Black man. spoiler alert: it isn’t equal. mcu!bucky is just a dick. i was prepared to let it slide in the first ep because yeah okay i can understand in the moment bucky would be upset, but we’re four eps in and this dickhead is still bullying sam over giving up the shield.

comic!bucky would not even recognise mcu!bucky for behaving like an absolute nitwit with zero self-awareness because you’re 100% right. comic!bucky is painfully self-aware of how much he has and can hurt people and does everything he can to prevent that and help people instead.

the inconsistencies in this recent ep alone with bucky as a character are so frustrating. you have Bucky in Wakanda at the begining of the episode asking Ayo to not let him hurt anyone, but then he’s shocked to learn Shuri put a fail safe in his arm??? seriously?? a whole reason he went into hiding in Civil War was so he couldn’t hurt anyone by being a weapon anymore. but suddenly, he’s shocked the Wakandans did [checks notes] exactly what he wanted them to?

Sam and Bucky needed their own limited series to properly establish them as characters independant of Steve and then tfatws should have served as a complimentary series to their induvidual ones. ideally, in the same way that Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, etc all got at least one season of a show on their own to establish the characters and THEN we got the defenders.

But here’s the really fucked up part, anon. If Sam and Bucky got their own shows induvidually before getting one together. You know what would have happened? No one would have watched Sam’s show. You know how Disney knows that? Look at what happened with Luke Cage. Disney/Marvel’s experiment with Netflix taught Disney that if you make shows about Superheroes, the one about the Black hero will rate the lowest.

Sam does deserve his own show. This arc of him reckoning with what the Symbol of Captain America covers up vs what he can make it is stunning and its too complex and rich for it to be sandwhiched between Bucky’s rehab, Wakanda Sharon’s return and whatever the fuck Zemo is here for. Seriously, why did Bucky have to be the one to show Sam Isaiah? Why couldn’t we have a show where Sam discovered this for himself as a Black man, rather than being chaperoned this entire narritive by white men who are CONSTANTLY positioned as people who know more than him about his reality. 

And a huge reason this show SUCKS is because of the Disney Military Industrial Complex. The military is paying for this show so we can’t have any decent exploration or criticism of the systems these characters operate in which is INSANE BECAUSE THESE ARE THE SYSTEMS THEY’RE SHAPED BY.

I’m not gonna talk more on Bucky’s rehab being built on Black emotional labour, but I am beyond angry that the comic!bucky’s very well established mutual character development arc with natasha romanoff was completely disgarded for this racist disney miltary bullshit. 

Anyways, thats a long rant for a long series of asks. hope that’s what you were after! x

Joe Biden Was Against $2,000 Checks. After Enormous Pressure, He’s Reluctantly Changing His Tune.

The whole thing quite insane, the people are funding the miltary industrial complex ,police,ICE,coast guard, CIA ...Israel,the Rich... and the USA can't find a credible covid-19 relief program.

[sleepsleepnotwoke]

It's so funny that theres such a huge amount of people who believe that the world is being destroyed by vague groups (globalists, commies, the jews, etc) but when faced with real concrete groups who are doing horrible things (the miltary, police/prison industrial complex, etc) it's just a few bad apples and nothing to worry about. It's incredible the logical gymnastics these people are doing 😭

[theshedding]

Don’t tell people not to laugh.

Friends, today is not a day to be shamed of your joy and hope. Wave your flag HIGH. Some people would have you to believe you should hide your glee, your excitement or your elation at finally seeing the caravan of retribution, cosmic justice and old-fashioned “reaping and sowing” reach the gates of its own demise. You should not. The universe is doing what it’s doing and, acknowledging that as the only “justice” we can be sure to have, or hope for, is well-earned and beyond our control. But just in case you still feel a bit self-conscious about the universe’s timing:

Remember the children  -as young as babies- in distress, traumatized from parental separation, with ID numbers written on their arms as they’re shipped around the US quietly on night flights, lodging in Best Western hotels while this administration claimed they are “keeping families together”. Remember how their family members -pre pandemic- were packed in cages so tight no one could even lay down and SLEEP and how lawyers went to COURT on their behalf to advocate for them having access to basic hygiene products and influenza medications.

Remember the "shithole" Bahamians (a former Caribbean free-slave society with "Black Leadership") that were denied temporary refuge in the US after a monstrous hurricane stalled over their island homes for nearly 3 days-destroying their entire habitat, food/water supply & livelihood. Think of all the Republican politicians & White Americans who then joined in to support and affirm this un-neighborly treatment, who hide their tax-free profits in their banks and HAPPILY vacation there each year but proudly expect the service of Bahamian people during their pseudo-Caribbean "getaways”.

Remember the Puerto Ricans 🇵🇷 (& Vieques, Culebra, USVI 🇻🇮) who were told they were too "Lazy" to deserve adequate FEMA relief; relief that was sitting in cargo bins and supply ships stuck in port for weeks while surviving families, children & the elderly scoured around the island for water & food. Remember how the big ‘White Man’ and his posse flew in on a PR gambit to cover-up administrative incompetence. How they forced the hand of local government officials to “erase” lives by agreeing to concede lower death counts. How he threw paper towels at human beings in need of food and water from across a room, delighted with the televised spectacle of groveling survivors to cover-up an ill-prepared disaster response. How he required literal “thanks and praise” for benevolently distributing resources which they are entitledto by law, then flew back to the states, lied on those same leaders and then told the citizenry (overriding the NOAA) the same monstrous hurricane was "changing course" to Western Florida and Alabama because he knows better about meteorological science.

Remember the families of Paradise California-having lost all their life’s possessions, standing in the ashes of torched forests, had to acknowledge the welcome of a man who couldn’t bother to offer condolences let alone research the name of the very town he traveled to for a photo op. How he then minimized their devastation by recommending those agencies and families "rake leaves" like the Scandinavians do-to combat a Climate Change phenomenon he believes is a hoax. 

Remember Heather Heyer, who lost her life, run over by a speeding driver in a crowd-on film, who's mother wasn't offered so much as a condolence card for the loss of her only daughter during a protest against Nazis HE STILL WONT CONDEMN, that descended on her hometown to spew epithets, obscenities while terrorizing ethnic, religious and sexual minorities with old-fashioned torches one fine Friday evening. Remember how it looked and sounded to witness the chilling resurrection of the chanting ghosts in our country’s violent, barbarous history be welcomed in equivocal affirmation by a head of state, staff and colleagues.

Remember Khzir Khan, his wife and fallen son who are to this day still mocked, denigrated and roundly dismissed for their immigrant history and military service-to this country's ideals and imperialistic motivations in their own places of birth -whilst simultaneously offering up White soldiers and their families who served in the same wars as the epitome of American valor, respectability, 'legitimacy' and political currency. And how he later condemned his own Defense leaders as being hungry for war to satisfy a “military industrial complex”.

Remember the vile ‘mysogynoir’ directed at Rep. Fredrica Wilson (FL) by his Chief of Staff, himself a gold-star military father, caught blatantly lying about material facts he used to denigrate her concerning the death of a Black soldier and his grieving widow. How he defended a callous condolence call and gaslight an entire press corp to bolster an unpatriotic narrative of a Black soldier that "He knew what he was getting into"...and never apologized for it.

Remember the Trans women and men serving in the Miltary who woke up one random morning to read on Twitter that their hard work and dedication was now a distraction and “threat to cohesion” because their identity had become "too expensive" to sustain. This after being assured their jobs and “LGBTQ rights” would be honored beyond 2016. Remember the grift of inter-agencies, the re-allocation of Defense funds towards a border wall “Mexico would pay for” and the $84 Million in subsidies for erectile dysfunction medications for male military officers (in contrast to “overspending” claims on Trans hormonal care). Remember this vulgar scapegoating to satisfy a group of mysogynistic theocrats and non-profit “interest groups” self-defined by Biblical “principles” and simultaneously bearing the most false of witness against these their neighbors.

Remember the show hearings with Dr. Ford, a victim of sexual abuse, white patriarchy and the most acute manifestations of rich, male, Christian privilege, who was not be afforded a thorough background investigation into her abusers and the veracity of her case; who was eventually mocked and discredited by grinning Senators eager to affirm a petulant, entitled drunk of a pious Juris Doctor, just so he could rule in favor of a “Muslim Ban” from a guy who pledged a “total Muslim ban” before being sworn-in to office. And the irony of discrediting Ford’s testimony on ‘insufficient’ evidence while being employed as a result of 10 years of election campaigns exploiting fears of coming “Sharia Law” they claim mistreats women places like Iran and Afghanistan.

Remember the nearly $110 million dollars for a 2017 Presidential inauguration still unaccounted for but nevertheless was somehow needed to hire acts like The Rocketts, the “US Border Patrol Pipes & Drums”,  celebrity season winners on “America’s Got Talent” or the high-priced “1st Calvary Division Horse Calvary Detachment”. Remember how he got an inauguration: through outright lies, mockery, demonization of Latinos, the Disabled, the American Indigenous (remember “Pocahontas”?) and Blacks/African-Americans…before insisting the public believe an easily refuted lie about crowd and attendance.

Remember the dead that are still being killed overseas in various theaters of war: the dead Kurdish people (a.k.a. our “allies”); the dead soldiers for whose lives someone received a $100K bounty payment from Putin; the dead migrant adults and children who succumbed to abuse, infection and disease in holding cells (pre-Covid); the charred bodies trapped in their neighborhoods from fires raging in the West; the traumatized and/or dead protestors shot by sanctioned White vigilantes in cities “protecting businesses”; Black/Latino men and women shot by law enforcement or the 72 y/o Buffalo man with a permanent brain injury pushed to the ground by a “task force” of colleagues dutifully walking away as his blood spills on the sidewalk; the 205,000 DEAD of Covid-19, a purported “Democratic Hoax” that would miraculously disappear by Easter 2020, yet could be sufficiently treated with ultraviolet lights, “injections” of cleaning solution and for which -according to this man- “no one” has died even from (including your friend or your family member). He calls them “no one”.

Oh, and lest we forget-he is said to have only paid $750.00 in Federal taxes as a BILLIONAIRE…in the 10 years. Not to mention having allegedly RAPED or SEXUALLY ASSAULTED over 25 WOMEN. 

As you tell me and everyone else not to “laugh”, dismiss or revel in this President’s current status, or that of his staff and family, REMEMBER THAT.

lmao just because i think the world is more than black and white and that something as complex as the military industrial complex (which spans more than just individuals in the miltary and is the product of generations of genocide and colonization and billions of dollars) requires more critical thinking than ‘lol fuck the troops’ doesnt mean i support the military...cause believe me, i fucking dont. catch me dying before i ‘serve my country’.
