Would it make more sense, if someone took us aside and said:
“You know what? Y'all are right! You conspiracy theorists have been trying to make sense of the whole direction America took since World War II ended!
There's always been a MPCIC (military-petroleum-construction-intelligence-complex): it's heart and soul come from Texas and the South; its eyes and ears come from New York and Los Angeles; its tentacles reach around the global economy, and its purpose is to help the good old rich white boys get richer... and prevent the United States from going to the dogs!”
You'd sit there scratchin' your head, maybe staring into a frosty Bud, or Dos
Equis, some smooth Napa ruby-red, or a fine Rioja ... a martini. He'd continue:
“You see, if you think about what World War II was about, between Hitler, Mussolini and Japan's Hirohito, it was more about blocking the total Anglo-American and French access to the world's petroleum fields. And while all the political activities that are discussed in the history courses are substantiated, there is little discussion of what came out of that war.
“The Arab and Persian countries held then barely-understood VAST quantities of fine-grade oil. As the same time the Jewish people, so decimated by the Holocaust, needed some kind of a homeland, so the decision to insert their State amongst the Palestinian lands fit into the discussions going on in Washington and Washington.”
By now you were wondering where he might lead you... and that second drink was now on the table...
“So China fell Communist, McCarthy and Nixon stirred their witchhunters' brew, the MPCIC expanded its realm through massive Defense Department budget increases for overseas military construction, and J. Edgar Hoover increased his activities against 'Communists' to cover his gambling and Mob friends; in West Texas hunting lodges, Las Vegas showclubs, and various front-line outposts in Africa, Aisa, and Europe, 'true' Americans were deploring the world in which they found themselves. The plots that were hatched destroyed innumerable victims inside America and far from its shores, all capitulated by their opposition to this group's evil destiny. This knot of MPCIC right-wing rich ex-military men knew they would eventually be able to 'right the wrongs' that they attributed to Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his New Deal, that on the one hand contributed to bringing America out of the Great Depression and put its workforce back on the assembly lines... while creating an American version of the 'Welfare State', including taxes and greater government regulation of commerce.”
'WOW' you think, and then as if alone: “How do I know you're not telling me a story?” And he continues:
“We took out Mossedegh, then installed the Shah of Iran, we supported endless Central and South American dictators; for what reason? Anti-communist? Fuck no! We did it to reduce the overhead expenditures by United Fruit Co, or Esso or Standard Oil: you deal with a dictator, my friend, and you can reduce by thirty per cent the funds that won't come back to America. Foreign democracies HURT American profits...
“We needed Vietnam because the Military contractors were diving, and it was useful that Eisenhower helped create the Viet Minh group. If China moved into Southeast Asia, it would've been a step away from the Indonesian oil fields... We used Russia's growing arms to further our own profits...especially the Bay of Pigs...
Hell, when we lost Vietnam, we divined the War on Drugs, which allowed any number of paramilitary activities...
“You realize Nixon was the master control on that Pigs idea? Of course he was! You don't think an operation of that vigor could have been started after Kennedy's election? Less than two months' lead time?
“Don't make me L A U G H...
“Kennedy had to go, not for botching the operation, but for firing the Mayor of Dallas' brother... Y'all heard of Earl and Charles Cabell? No? Sheee-it, brother, think: the first was Mayor of Dallas, the second was General Cabell, Deputy Director of CIA Operations – he, along with Director Dulles were fired right after the operation was debriefed in failure. Blood in Texas, my boy, runs thicker than in Baghdad, I can assure you...
My head is reeling; yours might be in tatters...
“You see it's a cyclic thing: the CIA plants the future seeds of violent governmental opposition; either by intervening as they choose to, or by interventions so blatant as to create the 'Blowback' which became a common term in the last ten years...
“If the military contractors can get into a hot war at least once every ten years, then they can kick back and enjoy the good life, waiting on a beach until Johnny gets his gun again...
“The construction boys, I'm talking the Big Cranes, fella, they build military bases on the way in, and sometimes they find reconstruction contracts when our continued involvement is part of the program... and when a man like Bush Junior is able, through the eyes of this crowd alone, to realign the stars so that Everyone gets his hands on that filthy lucre, fully tax-deductible if not stashed away in Zurich or the Islands...
“Oh: and the Media? The MSM is fully behind and supportive of these people: the Boards of Directors in the Fortune 500 is as incestuous as a hillbilly town in Tennessee! They're interspersed logically, and logistically to support and protect their own interests...”
Your mind is racing around the globe, seeing Crystel clear, Zen and through or above the mud of MSM spawned by the inside elements that direct mass cultural knowledge. And, bright as you are, you know that Prescott Bush was indicted for working with the enemy Nazi financial backers, you know that BushPapa lived in Texas, worked in the Caribbean in the early Sixties before becoming a Texas Congressman in the later Sixties...
You know that Nixon increased war involvement or bombing, in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia...
You know that Nixon took out Chilean president Allendé in as blatant an assassination as America ever 'knew' about...
You know that Reagan and Bush raised defense spending to feed the Beast... helped the mujahadin in Afghanistan, supporting one son's fight against the Soviet's evil empire: a son once known as USAMA, but now called Osama bin Laden, son of the favorite family of the Saudi ruling clan...who changed the spelling of his name? Republicans, and the MSM...
You know that Bush the Greater started the First Bush War, within the week when he instructed his ambassador to inform Saddam Hussein that 'America wasn't concerned with Arab-Arab border skirmishes, but really now, that was like a pre-season warmup...
And Bush the Lesser only needed God (and three thousand victims offered
through his Daddy's Partners' son) on his side, as he announced Crusades that have currently gone for nearly Five Years, in Afghanistan, or ThreePointFive years in Iraq... longer than the Second World War!
So the Beast is in control, yet you think there may be a way to tame it? First you have to understand the cross-interests in the beast: more war equals more valuable TV news (cartoon borrowed from Bartcop) advertising rates; more war equals more sales of arms; more war equals more American minority and poor white soldiers dying; more war equals future generations of the world that become aggressive; more war bankrupts the American Welfare State...
You will know this: but you'd maybe find yourself in the same triangulation of cross-interests that killed Kennedy...
