War Is A Racket

Post by ToughGong »

Kerry Dining with Assad

"War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small 'inside' group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes."

With all due respect mate, you can't expect people to take things at face value.
In fact, the dinner date between Kerry and his wife and Assad and his wife took place in Damascus in February 2009, when Kerry was a U.S. senator from Massachusetts and chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee.

Yes, but you were implying otherwise to drive your point home. That is disingenuous and intellectually dishonest.

"The strength of a civilization is not measured by its ability to fight wars, but rather by its ability to prevent them." - Gene Roddenberry

“Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them.” - Mark Twain (1835-1910), American author and satirist

“Lying and war are always associated. Listen closely when you hear a war-maker try to defend his current war: If he moves his lips he's lying.” - Philip Berrigan (1923-2002), American peace activist and former Roman Catholic priest

"If the Nuremberg laws were applied, then every post-war American president would have been hanged."

You can follow millat as much as you want but you would be retarded to expect gaalo and shisheeye to follow it. It is a race to the bottom, mate.
