THE WAR PROFITEERS

I know it may be difficult to keep track of all the varieties of parasite infesting the swamp in Washington, D.C. Most people in Obama’s America are too busy working twice as hard to take home half as much to their families, thanks to a wrecked economy that’s replaced breadwinner factory jobs with minimum wage “service sector” employment, for those who can find work at all. It’s my job to stay on top of these things for you, and give you one man’s informed opinion on who the enemies within are and what they’ll be up to next.

Longtime listeners of my show, The Savage Nation, and those who have read my previous books know I’ve always given three little words of advice to anyone trying to make sense of anything Washington is doing: Follow the money. Forget liberal, conservative, neoconservative, and the rest of the various -isms. Whenever the government is up to no good, you will usually find someone making money—a lot of money—from whatever the latest scheme turns out to be.

The war machine is no different. Do you remember when Trump got booed at a presidential debate last year in South Carolina? He had the temerity to say the Iraq War was a mistake and the United States should work with Russia to fight ISIS in Syria and Iraq. The live audience booed and Trump told the millions watching on television the truth. “That’s Jeb’s special interests and lobbyists talking.”17 He was right. That’s just who they were.

They were likely members of the multibillion-dollar defense contractor lobby, which has spent well over $100 million per year for the past decade.18 They were powerful enough to pack the live audience for the debate, leaving only a few tickets for Trump and his family. And when Trump criticized the Iraq War and suggested the United States soften its insane stance toward Russia, they booed. Peace is good for America, but bad for business for the Lockheed Martins and Raytheons of the world.

They didn’t just heckle Trump at primary debates, either. They invested their ill-gotten gains backing the candidates who would keep the gravy train rolling. I probably don’t have to tell you Hillary Clinton was their overwhelming favorite, receiving 50 percent more in contributions as of April 2016 than even “bomb them until the sand glows in the dark” Ted Cruz.19 They knew Hatchet Hillary would be reliable in keeping demand for their products high.

By the way, Ted Cruz only came in third in the defense contractor campaign contributions lottery. Bernie Sanders received slightly more than Cruz did, which should tell you something about the authenticity of his anti-war rhetoric.

Donald Trump received the least amount from the defense lobby, less than 3 percent of what Clinton hauled in as of last April. So, in response to all the hysterical liberals screeching about Trump getting us into a nuclear war, I’ll repeat those three little words: Follow the money. The money said Trump was a bad bet for the merchants of death, meaning he was a good bet for America.
