space Travel? How about $400 Billion+ on military...

 

yeah i know, it is stupid, but arguably thats money well spent and it's goin towards your defence,

 

i used the idea of space travel because any way you look at it it's pointless, it merely satisfies people's interests in whats out there, and there is no way you can argue that money is better spent in sending buggys with cameras and stuff into space that it would be on third world poverty.

no man, that money is going toward enforcing a trade agenda which serves only to further the interests of a tiny international clique of modern-day emporers

 

for example:

The countless billions spent in iraq, in an invasion launched almost immediately after iraq decides to begin selling oil in euros

 

the current furore over iran convienently coincides with iranian plans to create a forum for trading oil in euros, which would result in most OPEC nations switching to euro and undermining the dollar monopoly

 

The demonisation of venezuala as a 'rogue state'- when president hugo chavez of venezuala is pressuring OPEC (the forum of oil-producing countries) to end the monopolisation of oil consumption which manifested itself in the last decade as a ridicuolus deression of oil prices, thereby allowing prodigous US economic growth to fill the void left by the USSR. (and he is also arguing for... you guessed it, a switch to trading in euros)

 

The economic dominance of dollar is in effect a global empire. and i mean this in a very real, non-dramatic sense: it allows the US to draw resources and to set prices, to exploit cheap labour and exert influnce over any supposedly sovereign nation which trades in dollars, which until recently was just about every nation in the world. The enormous US 'defence' budget is in fact a budget for the suppression of dissent, in the same way any oppresive empire has used the military throughout history: romans, british, belgians just to use a few european examples, so it is not, IMO, used for my (i live in the UK, one of the few, i think 6 EU states outside the eurozone and globally seen as a US puppet) defence, but rather for the continuation of opression, the side effects of which you can see in any of the pictures displayed in this thread.

^^ Sorry, but that's not going to help prove your manliness to anyone reading this thread, idiot.

Is anyone else bothered by the fact that these are all American military pictures that are entirely one-sided? It looks like a G.O.P. "Support the Troops" advertisement campaign, not journalism. Hey, no shit soldiers pray and cry. Why don't you support something that is actually reporting NEWS? Fuck the American news czars, oh I'm sorry, the "media". Take back the word.

i dont know man i dont think the second of htose photos portrays america in a positive light at all. to me its more an ugly. dehmanised, figure oppressing a much more human figure that an observer could relate to a lot more, because of the way the american soldier is decked out in all this gear and has a massive gun and shit and the guy hes got cuffed is just wearing a tee and doesnt even have shoes on,

Seriously, those death photos from Iraq, don't really need to be seen here. I know it's the truth and is a reality in Iraq, but this thread wasn't made to show of dead and mutilated bodies of innocent children.

 

I might get around to posting some photographs in here.
