At 1:30 I neglected to mention the largest industrial complexes of all, the Oil industry complex, and the Banking complex. I am famous for not noticing huge and obvious things; for this I apologize.

as my economics teacher put it, war is for profit and Nato is the business

"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

There's a important distinction that must be made about wars. If the goal of a certain war is to conquer other lands for their resources and to make big profits, then say no to THAT war. If the war is TRULY to defend our liberties and there is solid evidence of who's responsible, then say yes to THAT war. War is a definite necessary evil to defend a country from aggression, but other than that, "War is a Racket" (Smedley Butler).

I loved it!

I'm a Montessori teacher. I believe that the MICC is the beneficiary behind the systemic progressive elimination of Bilingual and Multicultral education in the United States.

The reason is that Multiculturalism is a MAJOR THREAT to the MICC. If we value other's differences, then we have no cause to kill them, thus no war. This makes multicultural education an elixir against the MICC and it MUST be eliminated in America to preserve their jingoism & their wealth (status quo baby)

Todd, it's good to see you beyond the IJCCR text. I admire your courage to just quit working and having the inner knowledge that you will receive by giving of yourself in ways that do not directly feed into the MIC. As a father with two children to provide for i find it difficult to go on strike. I have to work through my own self-imposed limitations...
