‘The whole ball of wax.’ Early draft from x-ma911truthwalk.com.

Several of the wars dominating international news are one and the same. It has probably been in the pipeline in one way or another since well before Donald Trump’s debut on “The Apprentice” or Joe Biden’s time in the U.S. Senate or Vladimir Putin’s as deputy mayor of St. Petersburg.

In the pipeline means its components are plotted over decades in Western government agencies and “think tanks” and international banks (lenders).

Media and academia participation is key. Success depends on it by mainstream and “alternative” or “independent” news organizations, authors, book publishing houses, distributors and retailers, and colleges and universities.

Joe “I am a Zionist” Biden called the state of Israel “our battleship” in the Middle East. Some see the U.S. as Israel’s there. In any case battleships and aircraft carriers are more vulnerable these days, and Israel’s involvement and Washington’s have been intertwined in adventures worldwide.

In his second re-election campaign Trump called the Russia-Ukraine conflict “Biden’s war” while knowing it was Washington’s, Wall Street’s and international banks’ among others’. The people who notice that military contractors’ or subcontractors’ plants are situated in every Congressional district are right on the money.

The war is systemic. It’s the Republicans’ and the Democrats’. It is red and blue. It is less the war of “independents” and non-voters, and so less purple. It is the child of most elected officials and their funders at the state, county and local levels as well; and of much of organized labor and organized religion. You can vote if you want to, but your choices in elections don’t matter when it comes to the war.
