The war in Afghanistan now going on for 17 years, was just given the green-light for an open ended expansion by President Trump. The immediate reaction for the stock market on this news was a triple digit gain for the Dow Jones industrial average.
So, what does this tell us?
There is nothing like the continued and expansion of wars to boost the stock market and the US economy.
History has unambiguously demonstrated that war and the expansion of wars, because of their ability to generate frankly awesome amounts of cash for corporate America regardless of the cost of human life, is in fact the single largest driver of the US economy.
The fact of the matter is that the United States has been involved in perpetual wars ever since establishing the dollar as the world reserve currency along with the petrodollar.
As many of you are aware, I have explained that in order for our debt-based economy to continue to function, every conceivable, and inconceivable way will be instituted to borrow cash into existence, and this also means never ending, open ended, expanding wars.
History has also proven that every single time, without exception, when our economy here in the United States is in decline a new war, or the expansion of war is introduced as a mechanism or "tool" to boost our economy-and works every time.

You bring up excellent points Greg and speak the truth. A lot of smoke and mirrors at play here as always.
I think it was Lincoln that said, "You can fool all of the people some of the time, and you can fool some of the people all of the time; but you can’t fool all the people all the time."

When war is something, that it happens somewhere else, it is not really understood. When it comes to someone's country, it is still not really understood. It just sucks more.

But it's the very first "indication" we were given that war "might be" an ongoing issue with Trumpf as el presidente. And Greg's reaction is to be >>> All over it?!!! :O He needs to go and read this spew I made here. There will be no war! None that affects the stock market via LMT and the defense department anyhoo. Maybe Trumpf will be able to do more war with less toys from LMT. I'm on the case...doing my personal best to make America great again...read about the "chances of war" here:

Yes, this was a shameless plug..."SPAM!!" as anotehr one of Greg's lions proclaimed. I'm just doing my best to get an upvote. As the price of the STEEM dollar drops "well below" $1 we will need to help each other out. I know I want to stick around but my "bandwith is limited"...upvote my spew and I promise I won't spend the muny on cigarettes. :-)

Greg, if you do the research about how war plays into market moves the wars that all "moved markets" on a macro trend were initiated when the stock market was getting trounced as a result of some other circumstance. Look at 9/11 and see how war corresponded to market moves...not short term "blips" like this little "non-event" that is getting you all excited...for no reason. I'm on it, Greg! No war! Gas prices coming down below $1.50/gal, That can't happen during war time, and Trumpf will be in a "shambles" ifn gas at the pump went to $3/gal...not happnin, Greg. Not with me around. Oh, btw, I found out that the guy who handles the compooterized AAPL trading account at Goldman Sux now comes here to read my spews. I said to cover the AAPL short (initiated at $162) yesterday at $155...but the clown at Goldman only took it to 155.17 or something dumm like that. You "know" I coulda got it to $155 spot dead on if I was the guy at Goldman handling the AAPL "price movement"...I'll fix the sumbeitch. Compooterized trading wizards on vacation next week? You wuz in the bidness so that's why I'm asking you. Wait'll you see what I do to the rookie that takes over AAPL next week. Floyd Blanklies gonna fire the beitch the second he gets back from the cramped in's...on Long Island...where multi million dollar homes are just waiting to become fortresses...for the Zombie nation. Do you think one Bitcoin will be able to buy a place in the Hamptons by next April, Greg? :-)

Yeah but think of a place like this as your compound during the Zombie apocalypse that will be the Bitcoin take over of the entire financial system.
Bitcoin "should be" trading at $1 mil per coin according to the ex-spurts ( has been drips under extreme pressure) so all you really need right now is maybe 5 bitcoins. 1 for the house, 1 for beer, combine the remaining 3 to get the rest of your shit...and spekkin of shit...don't forget to stock up on toilet paper. Ships will be docking in your back yard all day if you start buying Charmin even at current prices. Even the Zombies gonna want to wipe their asses. You could own the Charmin outpost for New York City....tons of bs there. I can't believe Greg's followers don't actually listen to my great idears. :-)

Indeed wars boost the economy. To falsely appear mighty the price is death. W have be at war far too long but that was the plan all along. War supports the darker side. THEY certainly would not want to support peace unless it was for PR purposes only. Great video.

My gut instinct tells me this renewed war is once again about boosting the Petrodollar. If anyone still needs clarification about what exactly is the Petrodollar, check out this video: https://steemit.com/petrodollar/@zoroaster/what-is-the-petrodollar

War is good for business. The Afghan opium economy feeds into a lucrative trade in narcotics and money laundering.

Unfortunately, Russia is, and China have stepped up their military, unless the US can collapse their markets , like what happened in Russia before, it's going to be a big unwanted war with millions killed. War is a money machine, each time the death toll or as they call it "population control" climbs higher.
