“Where’s Mine?”

Says the military/industrial/spying-and-censoring complex.

Having researched and written books and articles about economic and political history for the past forty years or so, it strikes me that the current Demo-Bolshevik crusade to start a war with Russia rings a bell.  When the old railroad industry lawyer/lobbyist Abraham Lincoln introduced the first massive corporate welfare subsidies for railroad corporations in 1862 it didn’t take long for myriad other industries to go to Washington to ask, “Where’s mine?”  It is said that the very term “lobbyist” might have been coined by Ulysses Grant himself during his hyper-corrupt administration, referring to how representatives of corporations hung out in the lobby of the Willard Hotel awaiting their turn to meet with a congressman, senator, or the president to offer bribes of various sorts in return for a plundering of the taxpayers for his clients’ benefit.  They call this “business as usual” in D.C. today.

Then at the turn of the century, after electric power, water supply, natural gas, and various other industries failed over and over again to form price-fixing cartels, they bribed the government to grant them legal monopolies in return for a sharing of the loot with local governments.  They didn’t call it looting and plundering of the taxpayers of course, but “public utility regulation” to protect the plundered taxpayers from “natural” monopoly.  Every industry in the country, from dairy farmers to horse breeders, petitioned politicians to be labeled a “natural monopoly” and declared a monopoly.  All in the “public interest,” they said

Today we see the military/industrial/spying-and-censoring complex observing how Big Pharma bribed nearly every politician in the country if not the world to go along with its phony, fake, “pandemic” scam that earned it untold billions.  “Where’s mine,” they are once again saying.  Where is their fake crisis?  Well, it’s all over the news in the form of the efforts of the brain dead, senile old fart who illegitimately occupies the White House, the man who performed so superbly with the Afghanistan War, doing everything he can to start a new replacement war with Russia.  More Americans must die, this time in the most important country on Planet Earth, Ukraine, so that Americans can remain free. He got into politics 50 years ago so he could collect bribes, and old habits are hard to break — especially once you’ve lost your senses.
