The central banks have recently become obsessed with two things. As Zero Hedge points out, one of these objectives is climate change. The other is blockchain technology and the digitization of currency.
But why would the global central banks suddenly be obsessed with climate change and blockchain? Shouldn’t they, instead, be concerned with debt and insolvency? In this report, we take a peak behind the curtain, as we examine the connections between the United Nations, the central banks and their collaboration to usher in a new sustainable global financial system.
Instead of debating the science behind Climate Change, let’s follow the money and see who stands to gain. Rich and powerful billionaires like the Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, Bill Gates and George Soros among many others, have all thrown their weight and money behind this global agenda which, if successful, will forever change the world as we know it.

activistpost--2020-01-06--Bullion Banks Used Paper Gold and Silver to Restrain Price Advance in 2019

Gold and silver investors buy metals because they are scarce .
Precious metals are by nature difficult to find , and hard to produce .
Consequently , above ground stocks are limited and valuable , particularly when priced in unlimited fiat currencies .
The bankers and government officials behind these fiat currency systems don ’ t like stable monetary benchmarks such as gold putting their inflation schemes on full display .
They absolutely hate that gold works as a refuge .
Inflation is a stealth tax .
Instead of overtly raising taxes , politicians simply borrow and print the money @ @ @ @ @ @ @ need people not to notice .
Which brings us to the futures markets for gold and silver .
They are the solution to the difficult scarcity problem that metals pose for bankers and bureaucrats .
The futures markets are the primary tool for managing prices and discouraging people from turning to metals as a hedge against inflation .
Craig Hemke of the TF Metals Report published a recap of futures market activity in 2019 .
It perfectly captures how their tool works .
They replaced real markets for actual gold and silver with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ proxies .
Then they severed all connection between the proxies and physical metal .
For the year , Comex Digital Gold was up 18.75 % from $ 1,280 to $ 1,520 .
An 18.75 % gain is certainly impressive , and we ’ ll take every basis point .
However , it ’ s even more impressive when you pause to consider that the total amount of Comex contracts was increased by 74.2 % from 451,460 to 786,166 .
That ’ s an increase of 33,480,600 digital , pretend ounces all while the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Comex depositories was barely changed .
The bullion banks are selling a lot of paper gold and silver .
Imagine the gold price if demand for more than 33 million ounces were actually directed into the physical bullion markets , where supply is scarce and limited , rather than the futures markets where banks supply contracts for all the buyers who show up .
And barely an ounce of actual metal has to be found , mined , refined and moved into bullion bank vaults .
This mechanism works beautifully for those who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Precious metals and the topic of honest money get almost zero attention .
Almost no one is talking about the trillion-dollar federal deficits .
In 2019 , the Federal Reserve returned to monetizing hundreds of billions in federal debt .
Most people now assume that is normal .
Perhaps most important for the central planners trying to maintain the fiat dollar , there is very little discussion about why gold and silver prices are rising .
Bankers and bureaucrats are trying to herd people into the Federal Reserve Note and other preferred @ @ @ @ @ @ @ don ’ t want people buying , or even talking about inflation and financial turmoil hedges like precious metals .
These people are not good shepherds , and they don ’ t have the public ’ s best interest at heart .

Gold and silver investors buy metals because they are scarce. Precious metals are by nature difficult to find, and hard to produce. Consequently, above ground stocks are limited and valuable, particularly when priced in unlimited fiat currencies.
The bankers and government officials behind these fiat currency systems don’t like stable monetary benchmarks such as gold putting their inflation schemes on full display. They absolutely hate that gold works as a refuge.
Inflation is a stealth tax. Instead of overtly raising taxes, politicians simply borrow and print the money needed for more government. They just need people not to notice.
Which brings us to the futures markets for gold and silver. They are the solution to the difficult scarcity problem that metals pose for bankers and bureaucrats. The futures markets are the primary tool for managing prices and discouraging people from turning to metals as a hedge against inflation.
Craig Hemke of the TF Metals Report published a recap of futures market activity in 2019. It perfectly captures how their tool works. They replaced real markets for actual gold and silver with a market for paper gold and silver proxies. Then they severed all connection between the proxies and physical metal.
Hemke writes with regard to gold:
For the year, Comex Digital Gold was up 18.75% from $1,280 to $1,520. An 18.75% gain is certainly impressive, and we’ll take every basis point. However, it’s even more impressive when you pause to consider that the total amount of Comex contracts was increased by 74.2% from 451,460 to 786,166. That’s an increase of 33,480,600 digital, pretend ounces all while the total amount of vaulted gold in the Comex depositories was barely changed.
And for silver:
For the year, price rose 15.1% from $15.55 to $17.90. Total contract open interest rose from 176,159 to 229,680 for a total of 30.4%. Again, that’s a total of 1,150,000,000 ounces of fantasy silver on an exchange when the ENTIRE WORLD produces less than 900,000,000 ounces in a year.
The bullion banks are selling a lot of paper gold and silver.
Imagine the gold price if demand for more than 33 million ounces were actually directed into the physical bullion markets, where supply is scarce and limited, rather than the futures markets where banks supply contracts for all the buyers who show up.
And barely an ounce of actual metal has to be found, mined, refined and moved into bullion bank vaults.
This mechanism works beautifully for those who prefer to keep a lid on prices. Precious metals and the topic of honest money get almost zero attention.
Almost no one is talking about the trillion-dollar federal deficits. In 2019, the Federal Reserve returned to monetizing hundreds of billions in federal debt. Most people now assume that is normal.
Perhaps most important for the central planners trying to maintain the fiat dollar, there is very little discussion about why gold and silver prices are rising.
Bankers and bureaucrats are trying to herd people into the Federal Reserve Note and other preferred asset classes, including bonds. They don’t want people buying, or even talking about inflation and financial turmoil hedges like precious metals.
These people are not good shepherds, and they don’t have the public’s best interest at heart. As such, it is probably not a good idea to follow the herd.

New York , NY — All too often we hear the police apologist crowd rattle off talking points like , “ if you don ’ t do anything wrong , you have nothing to worry about.
” However , time and time again , these people are proven wrong when cops are caught framing innocent people by planting or fabricating evidence to falsely arrest them .
The following case out of New York and subsequent lawsuit highlights this serious problem .
Last year , Omar Prescott , of Flatbush , was targeted by police for a traffic stop for allegedly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a recently filed lawsuit against the NYPD , the officer involved in the stop was Officer Carlo Cassata .
As Prescott parked his Chevrolet Suburban outside his home in Brooklyn , Cassata approached him and started his fishing expedition .
The NY Post recently obtained body camera footage from this incident as part of a lawsuit by Prescott which shows Cassata allegedly planting a stun gun in Prescott ’ s glove box .
After planting the weapon , Cassata then charged Prescott with an illegal weapons charge .
Cassata also accused Prescott of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that much worse .
According to the Post , “ the cop is seen holding a stun gun in his hand then searching around Prescott ’ s car .
Then the officer backs away from the vehicle , turns on the sound on his body cam , leans back into Prescott ’ s vehicle and pulls what appears to be the same stun gun from the glove compartment.
” After claiming to find the illegal weapon in Prescott ’ s vehicle , this arguably entirely innocent man was arrested and charged with fourth-degree @ @ @ @ @ @ @ possession .
Luckily for Prescott , however , the body camera footage did not lie and captured the crooked cop planting the weapon , according to the lawsuit .
When the case went before the court , the judge threw out all the charges .
“ Cops should be on the street to protect and serve , not to plant guns and manufacture evidence , as clearly shown in this bodycam video , ” said Caitlin Robin , the managing partner at the firm representing Prescott in the case , according to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wearing body cameras — and thank goodness this cop was unaware his was on when he planted the stun gun , ” she added .
The NYPD is now choosing to remain silent in the face of this controversy and officer Cassata ’ s employment status within the department is currently unknown .
If you are one of those folks who think that cops planting evidence on innocent people is an isolated incident , you should think again .
It happens frequently .
TFTP recently reported on a police chief in Florida who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the town ’ s crimes .
However , he admitted to how he accomplished such an impossible feat — he framed innocent black people .
As TFTP previously reported , the Miami Herald details that on multiple occasions , former chief Atesiano told his cops to target random black people and charge them with crimes in open cases so they could boast their clearance rate — which is defined as the amount of open cases solved by the department .
According to the Miami Herald , Atesiano , 52 , pleaded guilty @ @ @ @ @ @ @ three suspects of their civil rights because he and the officers framed them .
Although race was not a factor in the federal case against the former police chief , the three wrongly arrested men are black .

The following case out of New York and subsequent lawsuit highlights this serious problem.
Last year, Omar Prescott, of Flatbush, was targeted by police for a traffic stop for allegedly making an improper u-turn. According to a recently filed lawsuit against the NYPD, the officer involved in the stop was Officer Carlo Cassata.
As Prescott parked his Chevrolet Suburban outside his home in Brooklyn, Cassata approached him and started his fishing expedition.
The NY Post recently obtained body camera footage from this incident as part of a lawsuit by Prescott which shows Cassata allegedly planting a stun gun in Prescott’s glove box. After planting the weapon, Cassata then charged Prescott with an illegal weapons charge.
Cassata also accused Prescott of having marijuana which made the weapons charge that much worse. According to the Post, “the cop is seen holding a stun gun in his hand then searching around Prescott’s car. Then the officer backs away from the vehicle, turns on the sound on his body cam, leans back into Prescott’s vehicle and pulls what appears to be the same stun gun from the glove compartment.”
After claiming to find the illegal weapon in Prescott’s vehicle, this arguably entirely innocent man was arrested and charged with fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon and marijuana possession.
Luckily for Prescott, however, the body camera footage did not lie and captured the crooked cop planting the weapon, according to the lawsuit. When the case went before the court, the judge threw out all the charges.
“Cops should be on the street to protect and serve, not to plant guns and manufacture evidence, as clearly shown in this bodycam video,” said Caitlin Robin, the managing partner at the firm representing Prescott in the case, according to the Post.
“Thank goodness for cops wearing body cameras — and thank goodness this cop was unaware his was on when he planted the stun gun,” she added.

“If they have burglaries that are open cases that are not solved yet, if you see anybody black walking through our streets and they have somewhat of a record, arrest them so we can pin them for all the burglaries,” one cop, Anthony De La Torre, said in an internal probe ordered in 2014, according to the Herald. “They were basically doing this to have a 100% clearance rate for the city.”

The threat seems to have backfired with the Iraqi parliament voting to move forward with expelling U.S. forces from their county entirely.
Trump has done in the last 48 hrs what it would’ve cost the Islamic Republic millions 💰 in media messaging to hope to do: 1) Rally transnat’l Shia community w killings of Soleimani & al-Muhandis 2) Rally nearly all Iranians, whether they support regime or not, w this tweet https://t.co/5ben5dL1p1 — Narges Bajoghli (@nargesbajoghli) January 5, 2020
The turnout for Soleimani’s funeral was quite large.

Trump late Sunday threatened to put “very big” sanctions on Iraq if they go through with their plan to expel US troops.

activistpost--2020-01-06--US Empire’s Passion For Iraqi Democracy Magically Disappears

Following a vote by the Iraqi parliament to remove foreign troops from the nation , the US president threatened to destroy Iraq ’ s economy in retaliation and to refuse to leave unless an expensive military base worth billions of dollars was paid for .
“ If they do ask us to leave , if we don ’ t do it in a very friendly basis , ” Trump told the press on Sunday .
“ We will charge them sanctions like they ’ ve never seen before ever .
It ’ ll make Iranian sanctions look somewhat tame .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ that they do anything we think is inappropriate , we are going to put sanctions on Iraq , very big sanctions on Iraq.
” “ We have a very extraordinarily expensive air base that ’ s there .
It cost billions of dollars to build .
Long before my time , ” Trump also said .
“ We ’ re not leaving unless they pay us back for it.
” This would be the same President Trump whose starvation sanctions are already known to have killed tens of thousands of people in Venezuela @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The same President Trump who campaigned in 2016 on bringing the troops home from nations like Iraq .
And this would be the same US empire that used the narrative of bringing democracy to Iraq in order to help manufacture public support for “ Operation Iraqi Freedom ” ( which Bush ’ s Press Secretary Ari Fleischer kept hilariously calling “ Operation Iraqi Liberation ” [ OIL ] by mistake ) .
The same US empire that has used the “ liberation ” of Iraq from the tyranny of Saddam Hussein and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ East to justify its evil and unforgivable invasion ever since .
Yet the instant Iraqi democratic institutions become even slightly inconvenient for the US empire , Iraqi democracy gets flushed down the toilet .
Iraq ’ s elected parliament voted very clearly for the removal of America ’ s military presence in the interests of its own sovereignty , and Trump has stated , in his typical accidentally-honest way , that America will not honor that vote .
The US is allowing Iraq the same kind of democracy that Americans have : democracy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ inconvenience the powerful .
This is , of course , because the invasion of Iraq had nothing whatsoever to do with democracy .
The invasion of Iraq was about controlling a crucial geostrategic region which refused to bow to the dictates of the US-centralized empire .
This is important to remember , because that is also exactly what the regime change agendas against Iran and Syria are about .
It is not a mysterious coincidence that all these horrible dictatorships that urgently need a forceful injection of freedom and democracy just so happen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The fight for control over the Middle East has always been about controlling important fossil fuel resources and trade routes , and thereby controlling the world .
If the empire can ’ t gain control of the nations in the region via absorption into the imperial blob ( Saudi Arabia , UAE , Turkey , etc ) or just constructing a satellite from scratch on top of a previously existing nation ( Israel ) , then the empire will work to gain control by attempting to replace any noncompliant governments with compliant @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) .
And , as we now know , the second a compliant government begins to act noncompliant , it will immediately begin receiving the same treatment that noncompliant governments receive .
As things heat up with Iran you will begin hearing more and more babbling gibberish about the poor , poor Iranians and how unfortunate they are to live in a nation where the women can ’ t feel their hair in the wind and LGBT people need to hide who they are .
But as a leaked State Department memo revealed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ actually concerned with human rights , and it is never actually concerned with democracy .
The sole concern of the empire is power , and the growth of that power .
That ’ s all this has ever been about .
Iraq seems to be destined to be the nation that keeps teaching us important lessons , so the very least we can do in response is make sure that we learn those lessons , and remember them .

Following a vote by the Iraqi parliament to remove foreign troops from the nation, the US president threatened to destroy Iraq’s economy in retaliation and to refuse to leave unless an expensive military base worth billions of dollars was paid for.
“If they do ask us to leave, if we don’t do it in a very friendly basis,” Trump told the press on Sunday. “We will charge them sanctions like they’ve never seen before ever. It’ll make Iranian sanctions look somewhat tame. If there’s any hostility, that they do anything we think is inappropriate, we are going to put sanctions on Iraq, very big sanctions on Iraq.”
“We have a very extraordinarily expensive air base that’s there. It cost billions of dollars to build. Long before my time,” Trump also said. “We’re not leaving unless they pay us back for it.”
#BREAKING: Trump says he’ll sanction Iraq if US troops forced to leave https://t.co/m4nemzUh6W pic.twitter.com/WueHTvkqrE — The Hill (@thehill) January 6, 2020
This would be the same President Trump whose starvation sanctions are already known to have killed tens of thousands of people in Venezuela, and probably much more by now. The same President Trump who campaigned in 2016 on bringing the troops home from nations like Iraq.
And this would be the same US empire that used the narrative of bringing democracy to Iraq in order to help manufacture public support for “Operation Iraqi Freedom” (which Bush’s Press Secretary Ari Fleischer kept hilariously calling “Operation Iraqi Liberation” [OIL] by mistake). The same US empire that has used the “liberation” of Iraq from the tyranny of Saddam Hussein and the institution of democracy in the Middle East to justify its evil and unforgivable invasion ever since.
Yet the instant Iraqi democratic institutions become even slightly inconvenient for the US empire, Iraqi democracy gets flushed down the toilet. Iraq’s elected parliament voted very clearly for the removal of America’s military presence in the interests of its own sovereignty, and Trump has stated, in his typical accidentally-honest way, that America will not honor that vote. The US is allowing Iraq the same kind of democracy that Americans have: democracy so long as it doesn’t inconvenience the powerful.
This is, of course, because the invasion of Iraq had nothing whatsoever to do with democracy. The invasion of Iraq was about controlling a crucial geostrategic region which refused to bow to the dictates of the US-centralized empire. This is important to remember, because that is also exactly what the regime change agendas against Iran and Syria are about.

It is not a mysterious coincidence that all these horrible dictatorships that urgently need a forceful injection of freedom and democracy just so happen to reside right next to each other. The fight for control over the Middle East has always been about controlling important fossil fuel resources and trade routes, and thereby controlling the world. If the empire can’t gain control of the nations in the region via absorption into the imperial blob (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Turkey, etc) or just constructing a satellite from scratch on top of a previously existing nation (Israel), then the empire will work to gain control by attempting to replace any noncompliant governments with compliant ones (Iraq, Syria, Iran).
And, as we now know, the second a compliant government begins to act noncompliant, it will immediately begin receiving the same treatment that noncompliant governments receive.
As things heat up with Iran you will begin hearing more and more babbling gibberish about the poor, poor Iranians and how unfortunate they are to live in a nation where the women can’t feel their hair in the wind and LGBT people need to hide who they are. But as a leaked State Department memo revealed in 2017, the empire is never actually concerned with human rights, and it is never actually concerned with democracy. The sole concern of the empire is power, and the growth of that power. That’s all this has ever been about.
Iraq seems to be destined to be the nation that keeps teaching us important lessons, so the very least we can do in response is make sure that we learn those lessons, and remember them.

As The National reported, the Iraqi parliament approved “a five-point action plan that would require the Iraqi government to end the presence of foreign troops in the country, and withdraw its request for assistance from the anti-ISIS global coalition.”
“Parliament also called on the government to ban the use of Iraqi airspace by any foreign power,” according to The National.
The U.S. currently has around 5,000 troops stationed in Iraq.
Earlier:
Speaking before an extraordinary session of parliament Sunday, Iraq’s outgoing Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi recommended that the nation’s lawmakers approve a measure to end U.S. troop presence in “immediately” following the assassination of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani in Baghdad.
The prime minister’s remarks came before Iraqi lawmakers are set to vote on a resolution to end permission for American troops to remain in Iraq.
Washington Post reporter Mustafa Salim summarized Mahdi’s recommendations:
“But I want the decision to be agreed by all therefore I put to the parliament two options. 1.ending the existence of these forces immediately and start the immediate arrangements for this” 2. Set a timeline for the departure of these forces” said Iraqi PM — Mustafa Salim (@Mustafa_salimb) January 5, 2020
“I recommend the first option and keep the friendship between US and Iraq. It’s the interests of Iraq and US to Reorganize the relationship between both sides in a way keeps the sovereignty of Iraq” Iraqi PM said. — Mustafa Salim (@Mustafa_salimb) January 5, 2020
The U.S. assassination Soleimani on Iraqi soil was met with fierce condemnation from Iraq’s foreign ministry and the prime minister, who called the drone strike a violation of the nation’s sovereignty.
“What happened was a political assassination,” Mahdi said. “Iraq cannot accept this.”
In a previously undisclosed detail one observer described as “stunning,” Mahdi said Soleimani was in Baghdad to meet with him about a Saudi request for dialogue to relieve tensions in the region—not, as the U.S. has claimed, to plan attacks against American forces.

Op-Ed by Catherine J. Frompovich
This probably will be my last OP-ED and/or article to ActivistPost.com, which means I know what I talk about as I am spending my last time on Earth in a hospice facility in Southeastern Pennsylvania.
At $360+ per day I find life living here is not according to holistic principles, which should not be!
No.1 No organically grown food almost all of the time – most of the time just canned starches, which are totally unacceptable to me.
No.2 I “live” in a completely electrified hospital bed.
No.3 The night crew is mean to me; they don’t answer my call bells.
No.4 I think my readers ought to know that all of the above is not acceptable, as I have lived a holistic lifestyle for almost 50 years.
No.5 I hope and pray I will not be in this position much longer, but I want my international readers to know what has happened to me.
No.6 I am having this dictated because of the health problems that happened in mid-December, 2019: brain tumor, glaucoma, cataracts, breast cancer, and breast cancer before; all of which I feel and believe have been instituted and progressed from an electric smart meter by the mandate of the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission’s (PA PUC) Administrative Law Court in May, 2018.
No. 7 This is a warning about 5G and the Federal Communications Commission’s non-responsibility and the irresponsibility of those who are promoting smart meters, smart appliances, Artificial Intelligence (AI), genetically modified food (GMO), and gigahertz technology.
Please remember these warnings after I’m gone.
In loving respect for Nature and Nature’s God,
Catherine J. Frompovich
UPDATE — 1/25/2020:
Personal experience is providing me, Catherine J. Frompovich, with research I am gathering from sources regarding hospice. This is going to be short and is being dictated.
1. “I understand how the system works. The question I have to ask is this: ‘Is there an influential food management corporation setting the dietary rules for all hospice patients in the USA?’”
2. “If so, are Medicare/Medicaid at the federal and state levels aware of the canned foods being supplied to me at meals?”
3. “If so, is this part of the reason for the exorbitant health care costs in the USA?”
4. “Why is this practice permitted if truly this is part of the exorbitant health care costs in the USA?”
5. “The question that has to be asked is: are end of life patients who have eaten holistically [non-GMO foods, grass-fed animal products] given such foods in hospice care?”
Sincerely and respectfully submitted by
Catherine J. Frompovich

On Saturday, the notorious John McAfee revealed a new project he’s launching that aims to tokenize all 535 members of U.S. Congress in order to sell them on the open market. McAfee said that the U.S. representative tokens will be listed on his exchange McAfeedex so people can find out what their “representative is really worth.”
Buying Politicians
The former antivirus tycoon John McAfee is at it again with a new project that is directed at the U.S. political system. According to McAfee, his team is tokenizing all 535 members of Congress in order to sell them on an exchange. On January 4, McAfee tweeted:
The tokens will be listed on McAfeedex.com on March 1st, with every token set initially at one penny — Then let the trading begin — Find out what your representative is really worth on the open market.
McAfee also shared a Twitter account called @Buycongressman for people to follow the new political token project. Both McAfee and the new Twitter account, created this year, explained that the team building the tokens have received flak from the government.
The @Buycongressman said that “No one in Congress would cooperate with us [and] lawsuits were threatened if we proceeded.” The account added that the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) had “threatened criminal charges if we also included POTUS (President of the United States) candidates – Insisting it’s ‘Manipulating Elections.’” Despite the threats, the Twitter account stressed that in May it would be adding POTUS candidates. McAfee’s new project underlined that the team is “applying blockchain to the political process” by tokenizing political leaders. Another @Buycongressman tweet stated:
We’ll show, mathematically and scientifically, how power grows, accumulates and flows throughout politics. We’ll link news, decisions, and actions to perceptions in the minds of American voters.
McAfee also told his fans that the executive team who designed the project celebrated the completed work in Catalonia the day prior and tweeted that there will be 183 million of each token or “One for every U.S. voter.” “You don’t want to risk a penny that’s your business,” McAfee explained. One person asked McAfee if it was possible to short the tokens and McAfee replied “yes.” “Nice — I would like to short Nancy Pelosi with 100x leverage,” the individual responded adding to the fray of political jokes that ensued.
Telling the Truth: Politicians Are Already Bought
The idea to tokenize all 535 members of U.S. Congress seemed to please the crypto community on Twitter. The majority of individuals are sick and tired of the bureaucrats that are bought and paid for with corporate dollars through political action committees (PACs). Most bureaucrats are so blatantly bought that people have suggested they wear sponsorship logos on their suits similar to NASCAR race drivers. Even before Donald Trump was the U.S. President, he was accused of buying politicians when he was a Wall Street mogul. “[T]his is what’s wrong. [Donald Trump] buys and sells politicians of all stripes … he’s used to buying politicians,” Senator Rand Paul explained in the 2015 GOP debate.
McAfee’s project seems to be a statement toward this blatant manipulation and the tokenization of Congress Members is humorous as well. The former antivirus tycoon is also running for POTUS in 2020, but calls out the U.S. oligarchy on a regular basis. McAfee has always pointed to the manipulation and unlimited political bribery within the U.S. government. In June 2018, McAfee stressed that he probably wouldn’t win the 2020 election, but he was doing it for ulterior motives.
“Don’t think that I have a chance of winning — I do not,” McAfee said at the time. “But what truly changes America is not the president, but the process of creating one. If my following is sufficient I get to stand the world’s largest stage and talk to everyone, as I did last time, to tell the truth.”

“Let us resolve that never again will we send the precious young blood of this country to die trying to prop up a corrupt military dictatorship abroad. This is also the time to turn away from excessive preoccupation overseas to the rebuilding of our own nation. America must be restored to a proper role in the world. But we can do that only through the recovery of confidence in ourselves…. together we will call America home to the ideals that nourished us from the beginning. From secrecy and deception in high places; come home, America. From military spending so wasteful that it weakens our nation; come home, America.”—George S. McGovern, former Senator and presidential candidate
I agree wholeheartedly with George S. McGovern, a former Senator and presidential candidate who served in the Vietnam War, about one thing: I’m sick of old men dreaming up wars for young men to die in.
It’s time to bring our troops home.
Bring them home from Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. Bring them home from Germany, South Korea and Japan. Bring them home from Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Oman. Bring them home from Niger, Chad and Mali. Bring them home from Turkey, the Philippines, and northern Australia.
That’s not what’s going to happen, of course.
The U.S. military reportedly has more than 1.3 million men and women on active duty, with more than 450,000 of them stationed overseas in nearly every country in the world. As investigative journalist David Vine explains, “Although few Americans realize it, the United States likely has more bases in foreign lands than any other people, nation, or empire in history.”
Don’t fall for the propaganda, though: America’s military forces aren’t being deployed abroad to protect our freedoms here at home. Rather, they’re being used to guard oil fields, build foreign infrastructure and protect the financial interests of the corporate elite. In fact, the United States military spends about $81 billion a year just to protect oil supplies around the world.
The reach of America’s military empire includes close to 800 bases in as many as 160 countries, operated at a cost of more than $156 billion annually. As Vine reports, “Even US military resorts and recreation areas in places like the Bavarian Alps and Seoul, South Korea, are bases of a kind. Worldwide, the military runs more than 170 golf courses.”
This is how a military empire occupies the globe.
Already, American military servicepeople are being deployed to far-flung places in the Middle East and elsewhere in anticipation of the war drums being sounded over Iran.
This Iran crisis, salivated over by the neocons since prior to the Iraq War and manufactured by war hawks who want to jumpstart the next world war, has been a long time coming.
Donald Trump, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton: they all have done their part to ensure that the military industrial complex can continue to get rich at taxpayer expense.
Take President Trump, for instance.
Despite numerous campaign promises to stop America’s “endless wars,” once elected, Trump has done a complete about-face, deploying greater numbers of troops to the Middle East, ramping up the war rhetoric, and padding the pockets of defense contractors. Indeed, Trump is even refusing to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq in the face of a request from the Iraqi government for us to leave.
Obama was no different: he also pledged—if elected—to bring the troops home from Iraq and Afghanistan and reduce America’s oversized, and overly costly, military footprint in the world. Of course, that didn’t happen.
Yet while the rationale may keep changing for why American military forces are policing the globe, these wars abroad (in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, Yemen and now Iran) aren’t making America—or the rest of the world—any safer, are certainly not making America great again, and are undeniably digging the U.S. deeper into debt.
War spending is bankrupting America.
Although the U.S. constitutes only 5% of the world’s population, America boasts almost 50% of the world’s total military expenditure, spending more on the military than the next 19 biggest spending nations combined.
In fact, the Pentagon spends more on war than all 50 states combined spend on health, education, welfare, and safety.
The American military-industrial complex has erected an empire unsurpassed in history in its breadth and scope, one dedicated to conducting perpetual warfare throughout the earth.
Since 2001, the U.S. government has spent more than $4.7 trillion waging its endless wars.
Having been co-opted by greedy defense contractors, corrupt politicians and incompetent government officials, America’s expanding military empire is bleeding the country dry at a rate of more than $32 million per hour.
In fact, the U.S. government has spent more money every five seconds in Iraq than the average American earns in a year.
Future wars and military exercises waged around the globe are expected to push the total bill upwards of $12 trillion by 2053.
Talk about fiscally irresponsible: the U.S. government is spending money it doesn’t have on a military empire it can’t afford.
As investigative journalist Uri Friedman puts it, for more than 15 years now, the United States has been fighting terrorism with a credit card, “essentially bankrolling the wars with debt, in the form of purchases of U.S. Treasury bonds by U.S.-based entities like pension funds and state and local governments, and by countries like China and Japan.”
War is not cheap, but it becomes outrageously costly when you factor in government incompetence, fraud, and greedy contractors. Indeed, a leading accounting firm concluded that one of the Pentagon’s largest agencies “can’t account for hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of spending.”
Unfortunately, the outlook isn’t much better for the spending that can be tracked.
A government audit found that defense contractor Boeing has been massively overcharging taxpayers for mundane parts, resulting in tens of millions of dollars in overspending. As the report noted, the American taxpayer paid:
$71 for a metal pin that should cost just 4 cents; $644.75 for a small gear smaller than a dime that sells for $12.51: more than a 5,100 percent increase in price. $1,678.61 for another tiny part, also smaller than a dime, that could have been bought within DoD for $7.71: a 21,000 percent increase. $71.01 for a straight, thin metal pin that DoD had on hand, unused by the tens of thousands, for 4 cents: an increase of over 177,000 percent.
That price gouging has become an accepted form of corruption within the American military empire is a sad statement on how little control “we the people” have over our runaway government.
Mind you, this isn’t just corrupt behavior. It’s deadly, downright immoral behavior.
Americans have thus far allowed themselves to be spoon-fed a steady diet of pro-war propaganda that keeps them content to wave flags with patriotic fervor and less inclined to look too closely at the mounting body counts, the ruined lives, the ravaged countries, the blowback arising from ill-advised targeted-drone killings and bombing campaigns in foreign lands, or the transformation of our own homeland into a warzone.
That needs to change.
The U.S. government is not making the world any safer. It’s making the world more dangerous. It is estimated that the U.S. military drops a bomb somewhere in the world every 12 minutes. Since 9/11, the United States government has directly contributed to the deaths of around 500,000 human beings. Every one of those deaths was paid for with taxpayer funds.
The U.S. government is not making America any safer. It’s exposing American citizens to alarming levels of blowback, a CIA term referring to the unintended consequences of the U.S. government’s international activities. Chalmers Johnson, a former CIA consultant, repeatedly warned that America’s use of its military to gain power over the global economy would result in devastating blowback.

The assassination of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani by a U.S. military drone strike will, I fear, spur yet more blowback against the American people.
The war hawks’ militarization of America—bringing home the spoils of war (the military tanks, grenade launchers, Kevlar helmets, assault rifles, gas masks, ammunition, battering rams, night vision binoculars, etc.) and handing them over to local police, thereby turning America into a battlefield—is also blowback.
James Madison was right: “No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.” As Madison explained, “Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes… known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few.”
We are seeing this play out before our eyes.
The government is destabilizing the economy, destroying the national infrastructure through neglect and a lack of resources, and turning taxpayer dollars into blood money with its endless wars, drone strikes and mounting death tolls.
Clearly, our national priorities are in desperate need of an overhauling.
At the height of its power, even the mighty Roman Empire could not stare down a collapsing economy and a burgeoning military. Prolonged periods of war and false economic prosperity largely led to its demise. As historian Chalmers Johnson predicts:
The fate of previous democratic empires suggests that such a conflict is unsustainable and will be resolved in one of two ways. Rome attempted to keep its empire and lost its democracy. Britain chose to remain democratic and in the process let go its empire. Intentionally or not, the people of the United States already are well embarked upon the course of non-democratic empire.
This is the “unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex” that President Dwight Eisenhower warned us more than 50 years ago not to let endanger our liberties or democratic processes.
Eisenhower, who served as Supreme Commander of the Allied forces in Europe during World War II, was alarmed by the rise of the profit-driven war machine that emerged following the war—one that, in order to perpetuate itself, would have to keep waging war.
We failed to heed his warning.
As I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, there’s not much time left before we reach the zero hour.
It’s time to stop policing the globe, end these wars-without-end, and bring the troops home before it’s too late.

Wow! I just suggested it yesterday! 😀 After Iraq kicks the US out, it would need protection from American/Israeli warplanes. And Russian S-400 can do the job https://t.co/KCz3v705l1 — CaliCali2000 (@CaliCali2000) January 7, 2020

As the study notes, at least 21 million people were displaced due to the fighting in these wars.
One of the most startling revelations in the study was the incredible scale of the global war on terror.
The study was published on November 13, 2019, about a month and a half before the current escalation of military tension between Iran and the United States. If the current hostilities continue, the military budget can only be expected to rise.
During the first week in January, U.S. President Donald Trump took to Twitter to brag about how the U.S. government recently spent two trillion dollars on military equipment alone.
The United States just spent Two Trillion Dollars on Military Equipment. We are the biggest and by far the BEST in the World! If Iran attacks an American Base, or any American, we will be sending some of that brand new beautiful equipment their way…and without hesitation! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 5, 2020
Check out the following 2011 video to understand just how big one trillion dollars is—and then multiple that by 6.4.
