Saying War is a racket isn't really strong enough anymore. War is a needless human sacrifice. Every war ever fought in history was started by the rich to needlessly sacrifice peasants.
War is just misplaced resources. Rich and strong gambling that they can get a little richer and stronger, at the cost of others. "They were conquerors, and for that you want only brute force-- nothing to boast of, when you have it, since your strength is just an accident arising from the weakness of others. They grabbed what they could get for the sake of what was to be got. It was just robbery with violence, aggravated murder on a great scale, and men going at it blind - as is very proper for those who tackle a darkness. The conquest of the earth, which mostly means the taking it away from those who have a different complexion or slightly flatter noses than ourselves, is not a pretty thing when you look into it too much."
@I Coroa well done, you are one of the extremely few that saw through the BS, unfortunately too many are too stupid to even see one of the points you made whilst serving their country that will discard them like a used sanitary towel as soon as they are done with them
@I Coroa yep. I was talking with my young nephew, who is of course a gamer, and he mentioned to me how he thought Black Hawk Down was a great movie. I explained to him that it was armed forces propaganda with the message of heroic causeless sacrifice, and that "you do it for the man next to you" is not sufficient for going thousands of miles to kill poor people in another country. I think he has a better understanding now.

I'm a vet and it used to bother me when people would say "thank you for your service". I didn't understand at the time, but now I know why; they were thanking me for being an accessory to genocide.
@@matthewfusaro2590 basically they where thanking you for being a sucker. Notice how It's also always some high middle class or rich person that will be extra thankful.
@@matthewfusaro2590 as wise old man Henry Kissinger stated “Soldiers are to be used as fodder for the political goals of the elite “ the word dumb was included in the sentence. You helped bring about the NWO with Satan as the leader. The Muslims are against the NWO and believe in the second coming of Prophet Jesus peace be upon him who will rule by God’s Law. As all Prophets submitted their will to the Almighty they are all Muslims. Prophet Jesus peace be upon him spoke Aramaic very close to Arabic.

@@matthewfusaro2590 what do you say to people who thank you? My dad is retired lieutenant commander in the Navy, enjoying his retirement watching war movies. Maybe it's because most of his time was spent playing chicken in a sub instead of more actively participating in genocide and imperialist conquest, but he's all in for the patriotic delusion. If you don't mind, I'd like to hear more from somebody who survived and gets it.
@@elizabethsmusicandarts1590 , Well to be honest with you people don't ask me anymore because I live overseas now and I rarely mention the fact that I was in the military. However, when I was living in the states I was "thanked" a few times, mostly because my father was eager to tell people that I was in Afghanistan. I always felt uncomfortable about it but at the time I didn't know the true extent of the damage the US caused to these countries. I knew the wars were a lie but was unaware of the the death toll. Even though I didn't personally kill anyone while was serving, I still feel a little shameful for the fact that I benefited for many years serving in the military. I'm a school teacher now so I like to think now I'm building lives instead of destroying them.
@@vintageradioman Leave out the zionist bit. Sure, they indulge in propaganda, but so did the nazis, and they were far from zionists. Brainwashing is the problem, and blaming zionists alone is a brainwashed misdirection in and of itself.
This video made me tear up inside. So much anger, sadness, inside me right now. These war criminals and rich co**suckers get to go along with their lives, profiteering from war, power, and greed, while innocent Afghanis, Iraqis, and our brothers and sisters in uniform have had their lives destroyed. Thank you Abby for continuing in the long fight against mainstream media disinformation and lies about the ravages and destruction of this horrific War on Terror. Bless you all comrades.
Historical Amnesia Is Here And Now. Never mind the Taliban. We have enough boggy men to go around. Keep your own council and trust in god if you choose ( and listen to The Empire Files).
The corporate media has mastered the art of "historical amnesia". For years, they barely covered the war in Afghanistan but once the withdrawal began, they covered every minute of it. The result: The public only remembers the withdrawal.
This video brought me to tears. Such great work by Empire Files. My heart breaks for the millions of Iraqi and Afghani children slaughtered. And those broken pieces burn with rage for the criminals responsible.
You should really do a deep dive into the events on the day of 9/11/2001. I find it extremely alarming that no journalist will publicly question the official 9/11 narrative. There are so many holes in it you would think someone would take it on.
Thank you, Abby and Mike. A realistic look at the obscenities of *war* . It's never romantic, quaint or honorable. It's always a destructive racket. ✌🏼
How do we resist the most *powerful, violent, and morally bankrupt empire* in the history of the world when they've got us sitting here on the services run by the monstrosities that own that very empire?
Good question. I wonder if....nah.....wouldn't work. The powerful "ones" would eliminate by way of subterfuge any political party that might infringe on their ability to maintain control. And who's to say that party is not corrupt, anyway? The way I figure it, we're pretty much ef'd, either way.
And just think, with the $83 BILLION in materiel left to the Taliban, every single homeless person (not just vets) in the US could be housed for four years.
“The truth," he said, "is, indeed, as you once wrote: one can only understand the " $pew" when one knows what his ultimate goal is. And that goal is, beyond world domination, the annihilation of the world. He must wear down all the rest of mankind, he persuades himself, in order to prepare a paradise on earth. He has made himself believe that only he is capable of this great task, and, considering his ideas of paradise, that is certainly so. But one sees, if only in the means which he employs, that he is secretly driven to something else. While he pretends to himself to be elevating mankind, he torments men to despair, to madness, to ruin. If a halt is not ordered, he will destroy all men. His nature compels him to that goal, even though he dimly realizes that he must thereby destroy himself. There is no other way for him; he must act thus. This realization of the unconditional dependence of his own existence upon that of his victims appears to me to be the main cause for his hatred. To be obliged to try and annihilate us with all his might, but at the same time to suspect that that must lead inevitably to his own ruin, therein it lies. If you will: the tragedy of Lucifer.” - Dialogue between Dietrich Eckhart and Adolf Hitler
Sept 11, 2001 - Sept. 11, 2021, 20 years of stupidness, ineptitude and rapacious greed.

That’s an understatement of the cruelty of the American elites.
Saying War is a racket isn't really strong enough anymore. War is a needless human sacrifice. Every war ever fought in history was started by the rich to needlessly sacrifice peasants.
Bang on Tina! It’s state sanctioned murder.
War is just misplaced resources. Rich and strong gambling that they can get a little richer and stronger, at the cost of others.
