Part 7/14:
Warfare and monetary policy are intertwined via inflation. The speakers liken the Federal Reserve to an arsonist who stokes fires of economic chaos, then pretends to extinguish them, all while adding gasoline. The cost of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan—trillions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of lives—is blamed on the ability to fund conflicts through money printing. This system allows prolonged wars that would otherwise be politically unviable if financed solely through taxation, demonstrating how fiat currency sustains endless military interventions.
