They are. Here's how it's done: Bob's Weapon Sales invents a new missile, the Hootenanator. Bob borrowed money from who? A Central Bank, to whom he owes money. Bob wants to pay that money back, and turn a profit, so he says "Hey, USA, buy lots of my missile, the Hootenanator. It'll kill your enemies real good!"

So, the USA wants to buy lots of Hootenanators. All US dollars are BORROWED from the Federal Reserve Bank (a completely privately owned bank, not a governmental agency), which has the exclusive right to print them, and lend them out.

This is how dollars are created.

So, the USA borrows a stack of freshly inked bills from the Federal Reserve Bank and buys a grip of Hootenanators. They are very happy with their purchase, and the American citizen is now in more debt. The Federal Reserve Bank is very happy, because now their biggest customer owes them more money, and they will collect, because their customer doesn't pay itself, it makes the citizens of the USA pay, and they don't have anything to say about it. All they can do is pay, or go to IRS court, and then have everything they own taken away while they go to Federal Buttrape Prison for life. So they will pay.

Bob pays off his loan to the Central Bank, and makes a profit. They're happy, and he's happy.. Oh, not quite, you see Bob wants more profit. What can Bob do to get more money?

Well, he can borrow more money from the Central Bank and make more missiles to sell, but only if the USA will buy them. But they have lots of missiles already. What to do?

Aha! Bob realizes that if he can get the USA to use those missiles up, then they will buy new ones. So, he goes to the USA and says "hey, here's a bribe. Go start a war and use those missiles up, so I can sell you new ones."

Every time the USA buys missiles from Bobs Weapon Sales, the banks make money. The USA doesn't make money. However, the government employees do, because they are the people that Bob bribed.

That's how bank make money off F-22 Raptor Bomber Jets, and Cruise Missiles.

Read "War is a Racket" by US General Smedley V. Butler. It's a short book, almost a pamphlet, but he names names and cites exact figures of war materiel purchased, and the markups over ordinary pricing countries pay during war.

War profiteering is why there is war. People can work things out, until paid agitators cause trouble. If you want to know how they make trouble, read "In Search of Enemies" by John Stockwell, former CIA Chief of Station, Angola.

Don't be naive. Be prepared.

Edit: This is why there is plenty of money for weapons and very little for starving children in Burundi. It's easy for Banksters to make money from Bob selling weapons. It's hard to make money from feeding starving babies. Usually those that make money off that are warlords in Burundi, and everyone that knows about it hates those warlords. The banksters don't want to be hated, so they don't steal from starving babies. It's pretty simple really. It's not a lack of food or money, it's too MUCH money.

very good account, you should make a post about this!

I'd rather see that the starving babies in Burundi, from where friends of mine have come (Jean and Letitia), are helped.

There are real reasons - not bizarre mysteries - that cause babies to starve while shiny jackboots stamp their parents faces into pavement.

If you want to help those babies, you need to deal with the reasons why they are starving.

How are you going to do that? I do very much want to know. The families of my friends have not all managed to leave Burundi.

I want their friends to be able to feed their children. You do too, you say.

This is why those kids are in trouble, dying, and we want to do something about it.

Do something, not post something. Others commenting on this thread have also said 'let's do something.'

You're in Africa. You know the people where you live, the corner stores where they shop, and the tv shows they watch. You can be very useful in an effort to feed Burundian babies, because I sure as Hell don't know those things.

What are some ways we can get food to them?

its of course the central banks. without central banks, no corrupt money for that amount of blown up warfare. look it up. i bet you could just google "central banks" and "war". war is the health of the state and the state controls money with central banks. ez. warmongers wouldn't have a fraction of that money used, if it wasn't printed by the monopoly of fiat currency, which is owned by central banks. thats why the world wars also happened and made possible after creation of central banks.

That is a really deep conspiracy theory mate!

bro, its simple economics. not a "conspiracy theory". funny, how you want to turn the tables tho'. check the history of money and you understand how central banks and modern currencies have the function to empower governments to pay for things, that wouldn't be fundable thorugh taxes only. that's a historical fact and it isn't even concealed, but advertised. if you want me to send you a link to an article or a speech, that tackles these historical facts, just tell me, i'd be happy to search for them in the circles i got it from.

with regards.

I have to turn the table cos your argument is not in the context of this post, the message is to humanity and helping the poor instead of war!

You could make a very good post from this dimension or i make it for you!

i don't exactly get what you mean with your answer, but all in all: if you want to "help humanity" and want the funding of war to be minimized or even abolished in it's ridiculously huge dimension, i would advise you looking into how central banking, its monopoly on currency and creation of fiat money through credit is the major fertilizer of funding these wars.

i could write an article about it and if i have the time, i will do this next, since its exactly the topics im writing about. austrian economics, which has central banking as one of its major critics.

i really still dont see how you "had to" call this a conspiracy theory and wash it away or why you'd say it misses the topic, since its one of the most crucial parts of governments being able to fund their modern wars. now that i told you, and you really want to help getting rid of wars, maybe you should look it up. you know what, even though i didn't want to send you links without you specifically asking, i will send you this for starters. have fun watching, or ignoring, im fine with both.

good luck and best wishes

It is a conspiracy theory cos that is not the aim of my post, if you want a story on how central Banks are funding war, why don't you make one?

I watched and i reserved my comments cos i see no reason for this long chain of dragging who is doing what!
