Governments and militaries also profit off war, don’t they?

3

If by profits, you mean material goods in scarcity…

Yes. It’s called plundering.

Everyone on earth is guilty of it.

That’s why I came. To stop your hell. To stop my hell.

4

Right

For socialists, everything bad comes from markets, nothing from government.

5

The only reason the US wants to invade Arab countries is to build a pipeline to the UK. If they actually gave a shit about PEOPLE, they’d invade Africa.

It’s sickening to watch.

6

Gloom,

I’m assuming you don’t know about the triad.

London is it’s own country. It handles the money.
Look it up, it really is it’s own country.

The Vatican is it’s own country. It tries to control spirit. Look it up.

Washington D.C is it’s own country. It’s the war wing of the triad. Look it up.

They’re the only cities that are their own country in the entire world.

7

Yea, and now the US and its sidekick Canada are fighting with Russia over Ukraine’s oil.

8

I know all about the triad, I knew that like 15 years ago.
It’s an overly simplistic way of looking at things, but I guess there’s some merit to it.

9

These days spirit isn’t that important.
Spiritual religion is being superseded by material religion.
Scientism and woke are replacing Christianity.
A lot of churches are going woke.

“Those putting out textbooks built the tanks.“ - my son

I pity the foo’s who think they can mess with my Father’s youngns & live to tell about it… without dying.

Frodo: ‘It’s a pity Bilbo didn’t kill Gollum when he had the chance.’

Gandalf: ‘Pity? It’s a pity that stayed Bilbo’s hand. Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends. My heart tells me that Gollum has some part to play in it, for good or evil, before this is over. The pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many.’

Frodo: ‘I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.’

Gandalf: 'So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides that of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring, in which case you were also meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought.

J.R.R. Tolkien

I must admit, I wasn’t aware of the Triad. What role are ‘they’ playing in this current charade in Ukraine?

Ichthus77, please can you simplify? Too deep for this simpleton.

"Masters Of War - written by Bob Dylan - performed by Ed Sheeran

Come you masters of war
You that build the big guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks

You that never done nothin’
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it’s your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly

Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain

You fasten all the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion’
As young people’s blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud

You’ve thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain’t worth the blood
That runs in your veins

How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I’m young
You might say I’m unlearned
But there’s one thing I know
Though I’m younger than you
That even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul

And I hope that you die
And your death’ll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I’ll watch while you’re lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I’ll stand over your grave
'Til I’m sure that you’re dead

@formeruser12 - Sorry, not familiar with the symbol? Feel like explaining?

16

Sorry, I use it a lot. It’s usually because you provided information that was worth looking up. It’s kind of for my own sake, but that’s what it means to me.

In the last post it was the word “Beheshtyar”.

I should probably stop doing it in threads that aren’t using emojis.

I wonder, do those who invest in the above listed companies (or similar) fervently wish for an increase, or continuation of death, destruction and mayhem – no matter where?
