The Pentagon is training people in economic warfare. Their most menacing military competitor owns too much U.S. debt for comfort, they say, and America is more vulnerable with every new dollar of debt run up by Washington. So the Pentagon is running economic war games – simulations in which bankers use financial and economic tools as weapons to destroy other countries. In an America filled with the militarization of almost everything, the market is being militarized for future wars.
Read the whole report from Helen Rumbelow at the Australian!
"So the Pentagon is running economic war games – simulations in which bankers use financial and economic tools as weapons to destroy other countries."
LOL. They (bankers) have already used said tools to weaken their own country, if not utterly destroy it.
Is it the 'militarization of business' or rather the businessiffication of the military? Aren't we already waging wars for the benefit of a certain segment of the economy – the military-industrial-security complex? And what about the militarization of religion with the Christian-Zionist lobby cheering us on to war with Iran and Islam in general? Childhood has already been deeply militarized in movies and toys. Behind it all we can say that the money system is destroying us. We can actually do away with the money system entirely and really create, not just imagine Peace. Check out ZeigeistMovement. org
There's nothing wrong with money. There is everything wrong with killing and conquest.
OOOOOO…Maybe the military can prop up the U.S. economy with some of thoz $4,OOO.OO screwdrivers and the $1O,OOO.OO toilet seats………
"NASA paid $315 each for wire fasteners that should cost 3 cents each, for example. It paid $159,000 of taxpayers' hard-earned money for a $5,000 fan. It's paying a contractor $6.3 million to lease warehouses next door to similar vacant ones owned by the government. Rockwell International Inc. billed NASA $52,000 for travel costs incurred by seven executives, including flying one's pets cross-country. These and other outrages were disclosed in audit reports pried loose from a reluctant NASA by Miami Herald reporters using the Freedom of Information Act."
Google seems quite protective of the military rip-offs… most are a joke…
Then there is that $2,3OO,OOO,OOO,OOO.OO that Rumsfeld "found" 'missing' on September tenth, 2001… Was Rabbi Dov Zakind at the helm during that period…?? Maybe the Pentagon could "find" the $2,3OO,OOO,OOO,OOO.OO and 'lend it to the FED to "close" the budget gapp… Ha…Ha…ha…ha… Like the pentagon is a MONEY black hole… $1,4OO,OOO,OOO,OOO.OO a year!

This article is very superficial and avoids fully talking about the most important issues:
Firstly, America has always militarized the market. For instance, it's an open secret that the so-called private corporation Google was spawned by the CIA front company In-Q-Tel and today functions as a virtual proxy of the NSA to spy on people/nations around the world.
Similar US spook connections can be found with other corporations like Microsoft, in which its been admitted that the Windows 7 OS was developed with the altruistic help of the NSA.

Secondly, the USA's policy of Quantitative Easing is a thinly disguised form of American economic warfare whereby vast sums of money are given to US financial predators … I mean, investors in order to speculate, buy up–and destabilize–the economies of other nations.

Finally, this article also predictably obscures the truth of America's supposed "debt," which is a euphemism for imperial tribute that the USA extorts from the world.
Because the US dollar is the world's only reserve currency, America is able to "borrow" money from other nations (in the form of foreign US T-Bill purchases) that it will never pay back. This system of American Dollar Imperialism is the basis of the US economy, and has been accurately described as a parasitic one.

Many spindoctors–including Antiwar.com–stand reality on its hand by portraying the American Empire as being threatened by "foreigners buying up US debt." These propagandists fail to mention that the USA has no intention of repaying these supposed loans–ever. The American menace is not only a military but also an economic threat.
