“The history of war is the history of powerful individuals willing to sacrifice thousands upon thousands of other people’s lives for personal gains.”

If wars required taxes, there would be no wars. How do we know wars do not require taxes? You cannot pay taxes with dollar bills that the IRS said "are not dollars" or with credit and the Federal Reserve said their system "works only with credit" or with counterfeit. Nobel Laureate, Paul Samuelson said the Federal Reserve is an "omnipotent counterfeiter."

Halliburton, Boeing, Bell, The Military Industrial Complex and of course all the politicians with stock portfolio's in such corporations...would much rather you just shut up and do your patriotic duty.

We hold this truth to be self evident. How many oil dollars were secured by the Bushes when Kuwait was taken back out of Iraq's control? (Hussein could injure and kill to his hearts content but, he could not mess with powerful individuals personal gains.)

Pretty much.

America has killed thousands for personal gain - the list is very long. "The US Army Document That Proves the US is the World's Number One Sponsor of World Terrorism"
