RE: US Spends More on Military Defense Than the Next 7 Countries COMBINED

in #politics8 years ago (edited)

The US economy is not built on values that we admire. We prefer health and peace and wellbeing and honor, but money flowing through the war machine is not in support of that. The US govt is more than willing to do business with foreigners--just look at arms dealers Finmeccanica or the 100% privately owned Federal Reserve that is actually controlled by international bankers!

Is it not? Or do we pretend the values we admire are health, and peace, and wellbeing, and honor, when the values our culture and society clearly favor health-through-pharma, idolize gangsters and thugs, entertain ourselves with depictions of violence, and punish honorable behavior?

In regard to the MIC, the bulk of that money flow is with US based business. I have personally seen contracts END because a CANADIAN was placed on the executive board of a company...

Let me clarify: we at the Garden of Eden prefer health and peace and wellbeing, so we live according to those values, rather than participate in feeding the war machine. The larger society and culture does indeed endorses Big Pharma, the monopoly on violence, manipulation and control. At the end of the day, WE have to answer to ourselves, so we at the GOE choose not to participate in those dishonorable systems in any way.
