It has been known since ancient times that wars are about money. They want to take resources and land from others. It did not change in America. Read about Smedley Butler , his book War is a Racket. Here is what we covered up in our history. https://www.arcadiapublishing.com/Na...-Overthrow-the

History, both good and bad is vitally important. History should be taught in schools, in museums, and at historical sites. Celebrating a Confederate General in the town square of Podunk Alabama has nothing to do with history, and everything to do with celebrating individuals who fought to keep the institution of slavery and were traitors to their country. Period. End of story.

The USA has lost WWIV to China with no other weapons but China Virus and some cash to buy democrats.
I read the account. It is a mix of history with conspiracy theory. Note how throughout the piece names are dropped of various rich elites but nothing is actually said of their supposed involvement. Instead, it makes a guilt by association argument against them. One might also note that it favors the House Un-American Activities Committee, the same committee that in the 50's was pilloried for going after the Left and Communists.
Also, wars can be about money, but they don't have to be. There are also those who take war as an opportunity to make money, just as those in the business world often take any event negative or positive as such an opportunity.
On the whole, the article really doesn't explain much of anything and certainly doesn't do it well.
Globalization is a fact like the weather. We have international corporations that sell and make products all over the world. Trump and Ivanka make their overpriced crap in China and 3rd world nations as an example. Trump only talks about being against globalism. He knows better.

History is replete with fearful statements like the above. "I can't believe how utterly stupid supporters of the World being round are; everyone can see it is flat" "I cant believe how utterly stupid supporters of the Earth revolving around the Sun are; everyone can see the sun revolves around the Erath which is in the center". State propaganda is as powerful now as it was then.
Here is globalization a "nutshell":

Hello ray9,

What you just did is highly disrespectful. Altering the quotes of another poster is not respectful.
If you would like to continue having discussions with me, you will go back and edit your post, leave my quote exactly as I wrote it, and make your own comments outside the quote bubble.
If this is not done we will not be talking any more..

Before I respond to your thread I would like to acquaint you with my Personal Ignore Policy because my rules are more strict than the site rules. Hopefully this is reasonable:

If this is agreeable then I hope we have many interesting discussions. If not, we won't be talking long.
With a chip your shoulder the size of a redwood anything can be regarded as disrespectful. Intimidating new members is a poor way to stimulate "interesting discussions". If we are done talking that is up to you.
