"See the military industrial complex wants to keep the fighting going on as long as possible. Now you might ask why? Money and more money is being made every minute the fighting continues. I read somewhere that it amounts to about $5000 a second.!!"

I'm a cynic, but I can't quite make that leap. At least not in the face of so many countervailing factors which make it difficult, if not impossible, to control events in a manner to protect such financial interests. But I agree with you in one important aspect--our political hacks are corrupt enough to try.

Have you ever seen what happens to the stock of a small company that wins a multimillion dollar military contract during a war? It takes off like a dog with his tail on fire.

How would you like to know a couple of weeks ahead of time that the bidding has been narrowed down to four, then three, then two companies? Remember when Hillary made that 100k in the market overnight? Seeing the picture yet?
