Thank you Daniel Streeter. Those early songs by Bob Dylan will live forever. Blowing in the Wind. Masters of War. It’s alright ma. To name a few. Part of the problem is that war is highly profitable for those in the war industry whether right or wrong, win or lose.

I was not a believer in an international mob at first, but now I do. Even Bob Mueller gave a speech on the iron triangle which consists of corrupt politicians, businessmen loaded with cash and mob types who know how to commit crimes. When those three elements cooperate, they are a formidable force.
