We Will Not be Able To Eat or Bring Home the Body Bags

August 17, 2026

The Title is an accurate near-term forecast of our situation. Our circumstances are so dire that eating will be problematic, and we won’t have the money to return the body bags of 174,400 troops being sacrificed in 80 countries because we could not defend them. Even before an Economic Collapse we could not defend troops in wars or stationed overseas. Our Military is being used as Unconstitutional Mercenaries for the Parasitic Super-Rich Ruling Class (PSRRC) aka Donors. In other words, the Rulers are knowingly killing our sons and daughters in the military while robbing the people blind. Elected Officials are mostly corrupt and cowardly traitors who hate the people.

Now we need to look at some specific numbers. The cost of overseas bases is $55-85 Billion a year. It is estimated that payroll costs for foreign deployment are increased by $6 billion. Foreign Aid in 2025 is $47.3 Billion. Top recipients of Foreign Aid was Israel at $6.8 Billion and Ukraine at $8.5 Billion. Foreign Aid for the last 50 years was $2.5 trillion. Our Debt is now $ 40 trillion and climbing.

It is estimated that $9 trillion was spent in the last 50 years on Wars for Profit, not national security. These “Wars” killed over 63,000 of our sons and daughters in the last 50 years. We lost all the wars in last 50 years, all of which were unconstitutional without a Declaration of War. The wars in the Middle East were fought for Israel, based on false flags and cowardly, bribed officials taking orders and money from Israel lobbyists.

Let’s use some of the numbers to see how badly the American people are being screwed, enslaved and robbed while their children are killed for money. Remember that most of this government is a criminal enterprise with no Constitutional backing whatsoever. I am only exposing a small part of the scam, but that alone will show you how much better you should live if most people were not ignorant and apathetic. If we take the yearly cost of foreign aid and foreign deployments alone we can determine that each family in America is being deprived of $1,630 per year. Now let’s get into some serious numbers by taking the cost of Wars for Profit and Foreign Aid for the last 50 years, divided by 84 million families. The result is $136,904 of equity stolen from each family over 50 years. Add interest paid or received and its real money. But it is nothing compared to total expenditures by government that exceed an estimated $8 trillion. It is estimated that half of which is spent by the Criminal Enterprise.

Our debt is now $40 trillion. Interest costs are about $1.17 trillion, or 20% of Government income. This is a cost per family of $13,928 or $3,431 for every person in America.

In other words, the American people have been awarded the “Royal Order of the Purple Shaft With Barbed Wire Clusters” by our Rulers (aka Donors) and their minions is government. What could the average family do with $15,558 per year (Foreign Aid, Foreign Troop deployments and Bases, Interest on the debt ). This is only a small part of the penalty paid by the American people to allow the Rulers (aka Donors) to enrich themselves while putting Americans into poverty and slavery.

No country has the capacity to invade us, so having NATO, allies, and troops deployed overseas is a sick but expensive joke that only enriches the Rulers at the expense of the People. The Iran war proved that we could not defend our bases or anyone else. With modern weapons, carrier task forces are vulnerable and too costly to operate.

The only way to start a reverse of America’s decline is to end foreign wars, Foreign Aid, overseas bases and deployments. But most importantly, you must obey the Constitution. Failure to follow the Constitution is the most important reason why we are in the present mess. I say this as an Economist.

Any responsible Economist will tell you that the country is on the edge of total Economic Collapse and nothing is being done to prevent it. In fact, everything that is being done is making it worse.

Illegal invaders must be deprived of any government charity and deported as fast as possible, or the country will be destroyed like Europe. Since they are invaders, the President can and should use the military to deport them. Communists who object should be put under Martial Law. Red and Blue states must be separated, at least financially, to preclude a Civil War. I will soon write an article on this.

Reader feedback is important for writers. One reader informed me that I had left out of the Coup of 1913 the States loss of control of the Senate to big money donors. The Ignorant and apathetic among us must convince those in Congress to follow the Constitution, otherwise it could be Civil War and Dystopia.

The Rulers (aka Donors and Elected Officials) must realize that the American People are rapidly approaching the circumstances that led to the French Reign of Terror. To understand this, please Google Mireille Mathieu singing La Marseillaise, the French National Anthem with English subtitles. Let’s not throw the baby out with the bath water.
