"American Sniper," like the films pumped out in Germany during the Nazi era to exalt deformed values of militarism, racial self-glorification and state violence, is a piece of propaganda, a tawdry commercial for the crimes of empire.
These developments, in turn, eventually led to the Great Depression, the Welfare State and Keynesian economics, World War II, the holocaust, the Cold War, the permanent Warfare State and its military-industrial complex.
The PNAC foresees the annihilation of the Middle East, the pocketing of Europe by implanting puppets, and finally the subjugation of Russia & China. The final ascent of a Washington directed One World Order awaits us all.

The official importer of Russian-made AKs, RWC Group, announced at SHOT Show today that they would be opening an AK factory in the United States later this year. The new US manufacturer is called Kalashnikov USA.
The group will aim to standardize the Pentagon's 1033 program, through which it gives surplus military gear to police departments, nominally for the "war on drugs."
The American public and its political leadership will do anything for the military except take it seriously. The result is a chickenhawk nation in which careless spending and strategic folly combine to lure America into endless wars it can't win.
This was a banner year for waste. Not just because the Pentagon flushed so much cash down the toilet, but also because the public learned about so many of the failures. All this while the Defense Department warned that sequestration would harm Americ

Can a career Washington technocrat break into US President Obama's tight-knit inner circle and oversee the world's most powerful military? It looks like former Pentagon official Ashton Carter is about to find out.
When the Pentagon's managers and their forces secure weapons and systems based on these advances, they will be in a position to become far more totalitarian than today. They will be able to send robots into battle. They will gain
Iraqi troops and small numbers of Syrian rebels have hardly been alone in receiving American military support. Yet few in our world have paid much attention to everything Washington has done to keep the region awash in weaponry.

As the chart shows, defense spending has almost doubled in the past decade in current dollar terms and will continue to grow in spite of automatic cuts set by the BCA. Clarifying these figures reveals that sequester cuts do not warrant the fears of p

"Star Wars"-style laser blasts are moving from the stuff of science fiction to science reality. Scientists have given us a first glimpse of what a real laser bullet could look like.
Arms contractors are "trying to exploit the crisis," -- It appears they're succeeding this regard, as investors are greedily buying up stocks of weapons manufacturers. For example, Lockheed Martin's share prices have risen from $146 a share a
One of the most disastrous effects of America's post-World War II embrace of a permanent warfare-state apparatus has been the extreme dependency on domestic military bases that dot towns and cities across America.
