The “War On Terror” Is A $6 Trillion Racket, Exceeding The Total Cost Of World War II

Submitted by bobbyw24 on Thu, 08/04/2011 - 10:15

When Obama launched his re-election propaganda campaign to trick the American public into thinking that he intends to end the Af-Pak War, he said that the “War on Terror” has cost $1 trillion over the past decade. While that is a staggering amount of money, he was being deceitful once again.

As you may have heard, a newly released study by the Eisenhower Research Project at Brown University revealed that the cost of the War on Terror is significantly greater than Obama has said. The little passing coverage the study received in the mainstream press cited $3.7 trillion as the total cost, which was the most conservative estimate. The moderate estimate, which the mainstream media ignored, was $4.4 trillion. In addition, interest payments on these costs will most likely exceed $1 trillion, which brings the total cost up to at least $5.4 trillion. The report also states that the following costs are not even included in this total:

WW II was all about racketeering too

Rothchild's controlled communist Russia from the beginning.
Bush and the Harrimans funded the NAZI's.

The bankers colluded on WWII to rack up debt for the U.S, Britan, Russia and most European countries.

WWII laid the groundwork for the U.N. and the E.U.

So what is GWOT laying the groundwork for ?... the NWO

Un-frickin-believable!

"This May, the United States signed a $367.5 million contract with Russia to buy 21 Mi-17V5 military transport helicopters for the Afghan army.
"We plan to sign more deals with the United States very soon, and plan to extend [cooperation] beyond helicopter deals," Vyacheslav Dzirkaln said, adding that the two countries are in search of other mutually beneficial areas of military cooperation."

Since they're going to piss

Since they're going to piss the money away arming the Afghans anyway, would you rather they buy Blackhawks at a cost of $44 million each, or Hips at a cost of $11.5 million each?

Hell maybe we should start buying our military equipment from the Russians!

Dec. 1941 to Sept. 1945-

Submitted by DHall on Thu, 08/04/2011 - 09:57.

This country and its allies defeated (into unconditional surrender) the 2 most powerful mechanized militaries of all human history. Fanatical fighters, suicidal fighters, lots of dirty tricks. Technical advances like cruise and ballistic missles, wire guided bombs, jet aircraft, the earliest assault type rifles. We took them down in less than 4 years.
NOW, WE are BY FAR the most powerful military in all of human history.
We've been chasing guys around with small arms, homemade bombs and donkey carts for 10 years. So other than keeping all that gas burning, and all those tanks planes and bombs from just sitting there rusting, what's the holdup? And why all the money? It's an obvious international 'racket'.

Print out copies of this article. Look up when and where all of your local tea party/9.12 gatherings are. Put a copy on each car's windshield in the parking lot.

Pentagon'$ 2.3 Trillion,

Submitted by Najam on Wed, 07/13/2011 - 09:26.

We read on DP & other sources, that Pentagon lost $2.3 trillion just before 911. That is a huge amount. How could they lose it, unless they had it in the first place. Then why was this amount sitting with them when money was/is Needed in different sectors of the economy & budget? We also know that America has borrowed money on interest,- throwing away all this money is crazy. Strange things are going on, that too on a massive scale, war, killing, loss of money, huge debts, enormous interest rising annually, daily and per second, look the debt-clock.

WpSmithJr, thank you for the 3 links, - each one is a good source, had not seen them before. I am watching the first one and put the other two on download, came back to this page to type out this appreciation.

The subject of careless killings was discussed on another thread of DP yesterday, I will look into my browsing history, these links must be posted there too, these videos answer the questions asked in that thread.
informative & scary material, I say scary because these plotters who carry out these false flag operations really do Not care for innocent lives. Its a vile agenda.
thanks again for sharing.

EDIT: after watching 10 minutes i am impressed, have emailed link to friend for weekend watching. add 3rd thanks.

that the politicians and people involved with getting the US into this "war on terror" will see the same type of "Nuremburg War Crimes Trials" as their Nazi brethren did.

War Crimes Trials,

Submitted by Najam on Wed, 07/13/2011 - 09:16.

The victorious Allies set-up the courts at Nuremburg after defeating Nazi-Germany. There is no military power to defeat the U$ military, and they have NATO as back-up. Plus, the war-party were /are elected officials - Bush / Cheney / Obama /Biden, & their Senate approved Rumsfield, Gates, add those who came up the ranks of the military, Petraeus, McCrystal, etc.
Change can come only from within America's ruling system. You need a new crop of real leaders, which can only come through the electoral process. But elections are far away, - if things worsen then there could be internal unrest, leading to chaos.
Hope lies with Ron Paul's Liberty train, it is moving, needs to gain traction - quick. The train needs to take over the House too, because one President can be handicapped. We saw & remember how the whole House applauded Netanyahu when he addressed it. Much of this war was launched for Zion, though some say it was for banksters, oil, etc. Yes it is partly true.
