War Spending: Who is Congress Serving?

Author: Jeanette Borges

Another normal day and another war? My God what does that mean? What does it say about us a people and as individuals? When you stop and think for one second don’t you think it’s simply wrong to have another normal day and another war? Don’t you question anything anymore? Is there no point at which you say hey, what the hell?  enough? It is not normal and it cannot be moral that another war is another normal day.
That is the effect corporate media propaganda has on a people, on a Nation and on us as individuals. Another war and another normal day. That is what happens when you have corporations who control the media and profit with the wars. They provide the justifications and you simply go along with the flow and with their message and the Republican vs. Democrat bullshit.
Even if you believe all the “news” tailored to gain public opinion of yet another war deep down anyone with a half a brain must have doubts because there is something very wrong with waging so many wars. What is behind it all? Who benefits? 
At what point do we ask what the hell is going on?  A wise man said that “All I know is that I know nothing”.  I too know, really know, nothing about this, but this much I know: we the people are paying once again for military action while we are being given lip service by politicians and Goebbelmedia about cutting Social Security, school lunches, the salaries of the evil teachers and police amongst other talking points.
Congress just approved the continued funding of 118 billion a year for the eternal war in Afghanistan and have not done anything to move to not spend on this newest war on Libya. All of this with a Republican, Tea Party, hate that spending, House.
Why? Why is this spending sacred? Why in the midst of all the debate about spending is this spending okay? Why won’t they cut this? They are bought off not to.  Congress is serving someone and that someone wants these wars and we are being ripped off and pillaged to pay for them.
Remember always that corporate media serves the status quo. Their sole purpose is to preserve the present form of government. Their sole purpose is to preserve the oligarchies that own Congress and this President and the Presidents before him.
We the people are paying for all of it. All the wars, all the plundering and all the pillaging. No matter what you believe this much you have to agree with: Congress is taking from us to give to them whoever they are.
I urge you to seek alternative news sources out of the mainstream media. I urge you to dig on your own. There are other more logical explanations for these wars then what you hear on cable news and in the newspapers. They sure as hell make more sense.

Do your own homework.
