When PEACE Is Bad For Business! The Military Industrial Complex

I just had to write something on the insanity of the military industrial complex and how they profit only from war, not peace. I posted on Facebook on the weekend right after the bombing of Syria after the alleged gas attack that the US had substantial evidence for that we have yet to see that military contractors stocks would go up after the US attack on Damascus.

And I was right. Let's take a look at and analyze the most significant companies and their share prices after things happen in the geopolitical chess game. I have used Lockheed Martin as the example, and you can then spot the similarities with the other defence stocks. There is also another part to it as well as the shares are publicly traded, and in some stock selloffs, all stocks will go down.

All that this conclusion comes down to is that weapons manufacturers need people to kill each other and they use politicians and governments with their military partner's lobby to make enemies all the time. You have to scare people to build up arms protection for both offence and defence. If we all can be at peace, then these companies would be bankrupt as they only make money when someone drops bombs on someone and people kill each other in civil or national wars between nations.

That's why these companies need the world to be in a constant state of fear, chaos and war!

Peace, Love and Voluntaryism,

Thanks for the analysis. This is really scary though.

Great post.

The Untamed lust and Greed of a few rich men, is causing endless pain and suffering to millions of people in the world.
The criminal silence and indifferent attitude of middle-class will make this injustice continue until the entire world burns down into ashes.

Almost 50% of US population voted for Hillary Clinton. So that means that poor people as well as ultra rich wanted a woman in who wanted a no fly zone over Syria creating WWIII. There is no vote for military interference. The people have no say! The military industrial complex controls the state :)

Hi John, easier to just track XAR. When price falls you can bet someone will start beating the war drum.

Great article on the military complex how it thrives. You can also add the US Prison Systems to this list too. That complex is scare as Marijuana is rapidly becoming a recreational drug. followed, upvoted and resteemed.

I should definately write a peace on the privatized monopoly of Corrections Corp of America and how they colluded with the state to make sure prisons are full :) Great idea

Looking forward to it..

Fortunately, as cryptos come into major use, bankster financed wars (money printing for bombs) will go out the window.

No longer will tax, inflate and spend work.
And soon, people will demand to know where their taxes are going...
nix that, they will demand the ETH address of the specific program they want to support.

LOL. Todays government is so screwed. I guess there are zero ways to hide corruption with ETH smartcontracts?
