Chapter Fourteen Entering a New and Sinister Period in Economic History

 We are currently discussing Iran everywhere. Yeah! Why is America so anti-Iran? John talks about the Mossadegh struggle. This was a CIA-backed and funded movement to put the Shah in office. They didn't care that he was a greedy narcissistic lunatic. He was "their greedy narcissistic lunatic." That's all they care about. After the late 1970s, the citizens of Iran hit a point where enough was enough. They seized control of Iran and sent the Shah packing with his family. Anywhere but in Iran. In the 1960s OPEC was formed. Iran was a part. However, after the citizens took ownership of their country and its resources back, they were kicked out. Thus an eight-year war between Iran and Iraq began.  Ever since the OPEC nations and the CIA have been trying to control Iran's government. Sore losers!


Here's something I didn't know about until I read this book. WW II gave way to the World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. The 1960s was a shift from neoclassical economics to Keynesian economics. That was thanks to Robert McNamara. He was President of Ford till he became secretary of defense under President Kennedy. Google him. 


In the last two paragraphs, John lays the disgusting spider web these depraved people run in. For Example; Richard Dick Cheney served as secretary of defense under George H. W. Bush while he was president and became Vice-president under Bush's son George W. Bush. Enron Cheney's launching pad. Before serving as President first Bush was President Ford's CIA Director.

War Is A Racket

  This is an excellent quick read. If you don’t have ADHD, it’s a quick read. I started this book before Thanksgiving so between the holidays and every day crazy train I finally finished it. Of course, I made notes in each chapter about my thoughts. We’ll see if this helped compared to the chapter-by-chapter review we did on The New Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man by John Perkins.  Throughout the book, General Butler covers the ins and outs of war. He looks at the financial cost and the human cost. He starts out by explaining how the military-industrial complex was formed. Which I do think is critical. Most people in America don’t understand what the military-industrial complex is. Never mind how it is used. I am not going into detail here just read The New Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man. You will understand the order in which things unfold. The minority of Americans know who profits from war and who doesn’t. General Butler covers that as well. You will notice I said ‘m...

How America Angered God Lust

  We left off at Wrath. Now we will continue this list and finish it out. Sin: Lust This is the sin that nails us all. It is wanting power, pleasure, and money. Not necessarily all of these but one or all.  I grew up in the 1980s so when I think of examples of this particular sin I am reminded of Jim Baker and Jessica Hawn. He was married to Tammy and lusted after two things; money and Jessica. Their lust brought them down in the end. Tammy had her own lust for money that contributed to their downfall.  Ten Commandment:  Thou shall not commit adultery.  Virtue: Chastity Being chaste is recommended by Christ. In the book of Mathew chapters 19: 12 and 22: 20 Christ talks of being chaste. Being chaste teaches discipline. https://youtu.be/7Y8lHwOIu_A
