DC's sleazy [bomb] shell game: Bad guys get the money but we get the debt
What would you do if some felonious bad guy stole your credit card and
used it to buy a bazooka, an AR-15 and 20,000 rounds of ammo? Would you
be pissed off? My guess would be yes -- especially when you were
driven into bankruptcy as a result.
Now imagine that something like this happens to a country instead of to
you -- perhaps a country named America. "But that can't possibly
happen here," you might say. Wrong answer. It already has. Sleazy bad
guys up on Wall Street and down in DC have already stolen our credit
cards and hit up our ATMs. And then, with our precious life-savings grasped firmly in their hot little hands, they ran out and bought twenty-one (21)
trillion dollars worth of RPGs, F-16s, border Walls, drones and atomic
bombs.
"No they didn't." Oh yes they did.
And when America goes bankrupt? Will it be the sleazy bad guys who
suffer? Not at all. It will be me and you. The bad guys will have
armies to protect themselves -- armies weaponized by you and me. And we will
have nothing to show for our lives but the shirts on our backs, if that. It's a shell game.
We've been conned.
''But they are trying to keep us safe!" you might say. No they're
not. "But do I even get a BB gun and a few large rocks of my own out of
this?" No.
So what can you and I do change our sorry fate regarding this lame and
dangerous situation? Let's evict all those creeps in Washington from
power. Let's vote them all out before it's too late -- if it's not too
late already, that is.
According to Forbes Magazine, the Denver Post recently "confirmed that the Department of Homeland
Security has issued an open purchase order for 1.6 billion rounds of
ammunition. As reported elsewhere,
some of this purchase order is for hollow-point rounds, forbidden by
international law for use in war, along with a frightening amount
specialized for snipers. Also reported elsewhere,
at the height of the Iraq War the Army was expending less than 6
million rounds a month. Therefore 1.6 billion rounds would be enough to
sustain a hot war for 20+ years. In America." https://www.forbes.com/sites/ralphbenko/2013/03/11/1-6-billion-rounds-of-ammo-for-homeland-security-its-time-for-a-national-conversation/#71f7d734624b
"But how do we even know who to vote against?" you might ask next. That's
easy. Stop voting for politicians who have low self-esteem. Why?
Because people with low self-esteem always go for instant gratification
for themselves instead of for long-term benefits (to the American
people).
"But how can we tell if someone has high self-esteem?" That's easy too.
According to psychologist David J. Lieberman, someone with high
self-esteem tends to be moral, to treat both themselves and others with
kindness and dignity, and isn't afraid to tell the truth. Only folks with very low self-esteem go around blowing other people up --
so always vote for peace candidates (such as Tulsi Gabbard). https://www.antiwar.com/blog/2019/03/05/rep-tulsi-gabbard-on-regime-change-wars/
