There were some who made very large sums of money in the war on alcohol. I’m sure people like Al Capone didn’t mind that alcohol was illegal because it made their positions possible.
At a time, the Federal Reserve Branch servicing Miami had more cash on hand than all other branches combined, in the cocaine heydey. HSBC laundered untold billions, and was fined a pittance. Yes.
Yes 100%. All of the wars with an invisible enemy revolve around $ and control. The war on drugs didn't do anything to actually fight the importation of drugs into the US, our government just eliminated completion and then took over the drug trade. Look into the CIA running cocaine in the 80s and 90s.
Prohibition (war on alcohol). Same thing. People were making it and selling it all around the nation under the table. Huge amount of tax $ were missed until they finally brought it back 'legally'...
War on terror? That just ended up being who could control the terror. The US funded all of it. One you we are arming 'allies and insurgents' then next we are fighting them. Who originally funded Isis?
The only reason Prohibition was finally instituted was they found a way to replace the taxes on alcohol that the Federal government ran on - watch Ken Burns' documentary on it, it's a well researched, even handed look at the whole history of Prohibition. There was a serious problem with alcohol in the US, because the Fed looked away at abuses of alcohol sales and it's impact on society, because most of the money they ran Washington on was from booze.
Sometimes genuine movements are co-opted by people who see a potential for profit. For example, feminism had a large positive impact for employers. If you double the workforce, you can lower the standard salary. It's the same as what they do with illegals now. I'm of the mindset that anything that manages to get a lot of steam in politics or the media has someone who is benefiting from it.
Haha that reminds me of an old E Michael Jones lecture on feminism.
"I think we all agree here that feminism makes you stupid. But does feminism also make you fat? I can definitely answer - yes. Feminism makes you stupid and fat"
Then goes on to talk about how the rise of processed frozen meals, fast food and obesity was exactly coincided with women entering the work force and not having enough time to cook proper meals for their families.

Well yes, there are always trade-offs to everything and that means there's some benefit to someone even if the decision is terrible. Just because you benefit from something doesn't mean you were the influential force to instigate it.
The war on drugs is a huge business. If the government really wanted to end illegal drugs, the war on drugs would have been won and over a long time ago. They let it continue.
The military doesn’t care if you become part of them. Especially with a President like Biden. Basically if you join the military you’re giving away everything just to serve under some asshole to start unnecessary wars, killing unnecessary people and damaging your mental health and physical if you do. It’s not a good opportunity, it’s bait for them to use you as a pawn and that’s why it was great when Trump pulls soldiers out of that crap and actually had the balls to talk to people like a grown ass man, and not kill people.
What I am going to say here will be Unpopular. but signing up for the military is asking for a opportunity to be thrown in a meat grinder for no REAL value to your loved ones back home. It only make the war profiteers more money and now your Family at home who will need you in tougher economic time will be with out you and maybe forever.
The people who would oppose this view are ignorant morons, period. Active duty military in Syria is doing jackshit for the safety of American in the US and instead "guarding the oil" for deep state and corporate interests. We need good men back home where they can actually build something and protect their families.
That is exactly what will happen. And those guys and gals that got to come home know it. I bet they never even unpacked. And this will all be blamed on Trump. It's guaranteed.
Simple answer.
Don’t let your kids join the military.
The military is still a good opportunity for a lot of people.
All wars are bankers' wars. This is nothing new.
Would you say that applies to ALL material wars too? Ie. "War on Drugs"
If yes, was that really the case for prohibition, which was essentially the "War on Alcohol"?
Edit: I don't know why I've gotten downvotes for a genuine question -_-
Interesting to think about.

Dealers want decriminalization so you don’t worry about getting caught coming from their place.
Dealers don’t want legalization because their business will naturally go elsewhere.
JFK's dad was one of the people that got rich off prohibition. Then helped rig the election for his son. Boomers love mobsters.
At a time, the Federal Reserve Branch servicing Miami had more cash on hand than all other branches combined, in the cocaine heydey. HSBC laundered untold billions, and was fined a pittance. Yes.
Accurate, yes HSBC quickly covered that one up. This whole world is run on dirty money
If you ever feel like watching a great documentary on this check out "Cocaine Cowboys". Poppy Bush even gets in the story.
Don't forget Deutsche Bank.

The thing that changed it? Income tax.
It ended once McShame died. He was the conduit for whoever made money off of ISIS
Think of it this way:

No matter which conflict you pick, there are always those who benefit. That isn't the same as being the instigator, which was my question.
Pfizer didn't have to be the cause of the Wuhan virus simply because they're benefitting from it.

I am all for Patriotically defending the homeland. But is that what we will get?
Agree 100%
