The other day I heard the phrase, "the war to end all wars" referring to World War 2. Reality is WW2 was "the beginning to perpetual war."
Why? Profits. Many corporations made great profits during WW2. However, at that time it was illegal to profit from the war. It doesn't seem that it matters today.
"War to end all wars" may be just another term that means the opposite from what it really means. Examples:
1. "Help America Vote Act" was really an act to make it harder for poor and minority people to vote, and it established the requirement to use voting machines that can be "fixed" to steal elections by those who own the proprietary software that run the machines.
2. "Patriot Act" really is anti-patriotic in that playing upon our fears of terrorism, we give up the basic freedoms that this country stands for.
Do you have any more?
