Dear Antiwar.com Reader,
In times of universal deceit, said George Orwell, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. Antiwar.com is a voice of truth and sanity in a world where lies are so abundant finding the truth is nearly impossible. Antiwar.com is the antidote to dangerous fiction. It serves as a platform for millions who seek the truth, but often cannot find it anywhere else.
Today, more than at perhaps any point in American history, financial power rests in the hands of those with the least interest in the truth. Antiwar.com is the place where the American People can find the men and women with the courage to challenge conventional wisdom and blatant fabrication. Antiwar.com is a bright, shining light of truth in an otherwise darkening sky. Without it, too many of us would stagger endlessly in the dark.
Sincerely,
Col. Douglas Macgregor
June 22, 2022 How did America become ruled by it’s military industrial complex?
The U.S. Government spends on its military, annually, in not just its ‘Defense’ Department, but all of its departments taken together, around $1.5 trillion dollars. (Much of that money is hidden in the Treasury Department and others, in order to convey to the public the false idea that ‘only’ around 800 billion dollars annually is now being spent for the U.S. military.)

The USA spends more than 2x as China does on the military and starts forever wars and drone strikes, has bases around the world and funds Israel’s military and economy despite its awful human rights record and it is not even a developing country.
The money it spends on the military should be used for domestic affairs.
You know it as I do friend and feel free to share these link’s.
June 22, 2022 The world spent over $2 trillion on militaries for the first time in 2021, an all-time high after seven consecutive years of increases, according to the latest data on global military expenditures compiled by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI).
