Strategic Culture Foundation – Dec 31, 2021
Three decades after the Cold War officially ended, the U.S. is setting a new record high for annual expenditure on its armed forces.
As this year ends, U.S. President Joe Biden signed into law military spending of $770 billion. That’s just for the next year alone. The scale of wastefulness and bloated corruption is eye-watering. It eclipses what the United States is willing to invest for overhauling its badly neglected civilian infrastructure and for combating the coronavirus pandemic that has killed far more people in the U.S. than in any other nation.
If there is one thing that portends a historic collapse of U.S. global power it is its pathological addiction to militarism that is hemorrhaging vital resources.
What is also amazing is how this gargantuan deformity in economic planning is presented as somehow rational and normal by the Western media.
Three decades after the Cold War officially ended, the U.S. is setting a new record high for annual expenditure on its armed forces.
Biden’s budget – his first as president – exceeds the record set by the previous Trump administration for military largesse of $740 billion.
So much for wishing humanity peace and prosperity – as is the international tradition at this time of year – when the U.S. allocates such a grotesque amount of resources to the means of war and annihilation.
This obscene expenditure is not in any way conceivably a “defense budget” as it is termed in Orwellian newspeak. It is a dreadful and despicable war budget.
The United States spends more on its military than the next 11 top nations combined. Compared with China ($250bn) the U.S. budget is nearly three times bigger. The U.S. spends over 12 times more than Russia ($60bn) on its armed forces.
Those figures alone tell beyond any doubt which nation is the ultimate aggressor. Yet, farcically, the Western corporate media in Orwellian fashion portray China and Russia as the aggressors against whom the United States is “defending’ the rest of the world.
Biden’s 2022 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), as it is formally titled, devotes billions more to devising new nuclear weapons and to provoke China and Russia. Camouflaged with Orwellian rhetoric, there is some $7 billion for the “Pacific Deterrence Initiative” and $4 billion for the “European Defense Initiative”.
The Biden administration has committed a further $300 million in military support for Ukraine over the next year. This is on top of the $2.5 billion in arms that Washington has plowed into Ukraine since the CIA-backed coup d’état in Kiev in 2014 which brought to power a Russophobic regime.
Next week, U.S. and Russian officials are to hold negotiations in Geneva to deescalate tensions over Ukraine and Europe generally. It is blindingly obvious that the crisis over security has been created by the United States pushing a policy of militarizing Europe against Russia in the form of expanding the NATO alliance all the way to Russia’s borders.
With twisted logic, Moscow is accused of “threatening” Ukraine and European security even though its troops are on Russian soil and it is American weapons that are encroaching on Russia’s territory.
The inordinate military spending by the United States year after year is proof of the source of international tensions.
When the Cold War supposedly ended in 1991 following the demise of the Soviet Union, there was a reasonable expectation around the world for a “peace dividend” to ensue. That is, whereby Cold War militarism would at last give way to peaceful economic development and cooperation. How lamentable the disappointment!
The inescapable fact is that the U.S. economy is a war-driven system. The military-industrial complex at the heart of American capitalism is dependent on massive taxpayer-funded financial subvention. If an economy is driven for war, then it follows that conflicts and wars are inevitable. This is why, 30 years after the supposed end of the Cold War, the United States is closer to starting a war with Russia and China than ever before.
In an insightful interview this week, former United Nations diplomat Alfred Maurice de Zayas condemned what he called the “universal provocation” of the US “war budget”. De Zayas points out that the United States is preeminently guilty of undermining global peace and security. Its relentless militarism compels other nations to spend excessively on defense in order to counter the threat posed by the United States. Both China and Russia have long-proposed multilateralism and “win-win” cooperation. Neither of these nations has threatened the United States. It is always the U.S. with its mixture of paranoia and hubris that constantly portrays others as enemies and existential dangers. Again, that is due to the need for justifying the abomination of American military orgy year after year.
The truth is the United States has been at war against the rest of the world since at least the end of the Second World War. For most of that period, the Cold War, Washington cited the threat of Soviet and Chinese communism. It waged wars in dozens of countries on every continent killing tens of millions of people purportedly in the “defense of democracy and the free world”. How godawful ridiculous is that?
The Cold War was supposed to have ended, yet the U.S. continues its remorseless warmongering. It retreated from Afghanistan this year after two decades of futile war, only to now wind up tensions with Russia and China. The pretexts and excuses change over the decades, but the fundamental story remains the same: the United States is at war with the rest of the world in the vain ambition of exerting hegemonic domination. Arguably, that’s an essential definition of fascism.
But it’s not just against the rest of the world that the U.S. rulers are waging war. They are waging war against their own American citizens. The Washington elite of both parties (comprising the de facto War Party) whistle through a military budget funded by taxpayers that dwarves anything the federal government is prepared to spend on societal infrastructure and decent human development.
Far above any other nation, the U.S. has a pandemic killing nearly 850,000 people so far and there is no end in sight. U.S. rulers refuse to allocate more financial help to the population to defeat the pandemic yet they are planning to spend billions on offensive weapons systems to threaten Russia and China.
The hideously perverse priorities of the United States as demonstrated by its wanton militarism are a portent and ultimate cause of its historic failure. It is a vile disgrace that the apparent solution to its inherent contradictions is to start a catastrophic war. Fortunately, Russia and China are strong enough militarily to not let that happen. And so the outcome we will witness more of over the coming year will be the United States cratering from its own internal corruption.
The US is militarily over stretched with around 1000 foreign military bases, so they are trapped in a hole they’ve dug for themselves.
So many on here say Biden is a lefty, socialist, or communist. This is deluded thinking. All Biden cares about are the corporations & banks.
As stated in the article, Amerika is falling apart, but the military just gets bigger.
It is a different angle, but I am becoming aware of bodiless entities that possess people to build them a body, sometimes ostensibly a weapon or vehicle. Even cars are probably now able to house one of them, and always were, tongue-in-cheek, considered to be alive. In outer space are machines with something living in them, just for the sake of life, not travel. We see the sequence alcohol-possession-machine-war too much, and discerning people would see it in the taste of beer at the start. To the entities a body or machine are no different from each other.
@lewis jones…
That may well be true and is something I have considered..I am an avid collector of musical instruments and had many guitars in my collection over the years (mainly vintage Americana) but have only had one that had a life of its own (perhaps two but the instrument noted really is exceptional).. this is a 1956 stratocaster which I swear is possessed.. it quite literally exists outside the physical attributes of construction…
I have others from around the same year all of similar construction and the difference is quite stark..
of course I may just be lucky… and fanciful..
I get to hear quite a lot of American servicemen from the podcasts I download …true crime, true war stories, true supernatural etc… because I don’t watch much TV. For all the money being allotted to the Pentagon not that much of it reaches the rank and file because so many of them say the cutbacks are deep and the accommodation and infrastructure like roads on bases are falling into disrepair.
This extra money must be going to arms companies and contractors who are failing to provide, with a large slice of it getting slushed to the lobbyists who pay off the politicians and generals who allot it.
More nonsense from Carl Jones. Carl Jones said:
“So many on here say Biden is a lefty, socialist, or communist. This is deluded thinking. All Biden cares about are the corporations & banks.”
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the “corporations” and the “banks” will also be destroyed once the U.S. “government” starts WW3.
BTW communism is the political ideology of Satanism, and both Biden and Trump are Satanists (and for that matter, practically anyone and everyone in any high political office anywhere in the corrupt West).
Like any good communist, all “Biden” “cares about” is serving the ruling Satanic cult as they pursue their evil agenda: war on all humanity in pursuit of the fulfillment of Isaiah 14:13,14 (or bust).
That’s five thousand dollars per US taxpayer.
I urge US citizens not to pay this.
Military spending is the best way ever devised for transferring taxpayer money to your cronies.
America is a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah.
The Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for TWO reasons:
1: Fornication.
2: Homosexuality.
Jude 7.
Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to FORNICATION, and going after STRANGE FLESH, (Homosexuality) are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of everlasting fire.
Do you see any FORNICATION and or HOMOSEXUALITY in America ?
Do you think that FIRE may be coming ?
America turned down God, it has SPAT IN HIS FACE
“The last and seventh vision was wherein I heard a most terrible explosion. As I turned to look I saw nothing but debris, craters, and smoke all over the land of America.”
WILLIAM BRANHAM.
America is doomed, it will be destroyed as was Sodom.
The Rapture is the only way out, the Lord sent His prophet to direct His Bride.
God has raised the dead on FIVE occasions through His chosen vessel.
God was photographed SIX times, (Veiled in the form of the Pillar of Fire) with His chosen vessel.
God`s Chosen Vessel is William Branham.

It’s always been the Satanic States of America – owned and run by Jews and their Freemasons overseen by Jews and Crypto-Jews which is the cradle of their Sayanim satanic system as all believe the opposite of honesty. They pay themselves high amount, keep for themselves high level positions, let others do the work and create a financial panic and pick up the goyim’s work for pennies on the dollar (ie Harriman and Union Pacific). They clean up on all broke financial institutions that have no liquidity and a great deal of hard assets. Christians are too stupid to know they are killing each other in these financial wars, overt and covert wars and overturning governments to the central banks.
Islam is doing a little better but not far behind as few “Islamic” countries are of Islam but Judaism. The male Jew: I’m glad I wasn’t born a woman, and that’s who their laws read which is not Islamic. We mix up Judaism’s version of Islam with the early faith which has gone the way of Christianity.
All three are rotten but there is nothing that compares to the head of this snake, evil incarnate.
None have much to do with peace and are lovers of money over life itself making them all an anathema to creator/creation.
It’s obvious the Pentagon is the Pentagram just as Washington DC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the central banking cabal. For the lies the ignorant died for which is all wars of the US military and all the wealth it spent in total depravity of evil act and their thrill killing from top to bottom of those who knew better, the US will deserve it’s fate. All information goes though Israel by most every software and hardware company and the US military knows it. It is the whore of the world for the international banking cartel and all institutions on earth are now in the cartels clutches and have proven that they are all liars, murderers and even revel in other’s pain.
Why do these relijo-maniacs insist on involving the bible in all this.Written 2000+ years ago logically it is irrelevant as far as explaining….USA government expenditure…..except of course the annual theft of billions of dollars of American taxpayers money….straight into the Tel Aviv banks.
This stuff is connected to the imbecilic “Christian Zionists” with their giant glass churches and visiting Jewish rabbis advising the halfwits in the audience.
Actually many of these Pastors are crypto jews who should be pasteurized from the church.Some of these Pastors helpfully have obvious jewish surnames!….but the sheep in the audience dont for a moment suspect they are being duped….by Wolves!.
It would be great to have fun lecturing the fools about the strategy of surrounding Iran with Jewish American bases and how the Ukraine is involved…..a country which has suffered huge misfortune at the hand of suffering jews.
And the sheep in the audience will be required to send their children to fight the next jewish war (like lambs to the slaughter)
Two Zio-leaders….Biden on one side,Trump on the other and by the next election Americans will be falling over themselves to vote for Trump again.
Seen it before aint ya….Johnson vs Starmer BOTH JEWS.
Hollande vs Macron BOTH JEWS.
No doubt it is the same in Germany today and many other countries too.
Call me slow, call me stupid, but I only just realized why wars and depopulation are ESSENTIAL to Elfish ‘Capitalism’, so-called … namely, to reset the debt-based money system back to zero. They need to do it regularly so the debt doesn’t destroy the money itself, and thereby their stranglehold on the gentile nations. And that, I’m afraid, involves sacrifice. Are you ready to sacrifice yourself for the greater good? Namely, to preserve the Elfish central banking system.
Here is a fine example of the Elfish mindset, attributed to Jacques Attali, sometime advisor to François Mitterrand… “The future will be about finding a way to reduce the population. We start with the old, because as soon as they exceed 60-65 years, people live longer than they produce and that costs society dearly. Then the weak, then the useless that do not help society because there will always be more of them, and above all, ultimately, the stupid. Euthanasia targeting these groups; Euthanasia will have to be an essential tool in our future societies, in all cases. Of course we will not be able to execute people or build camps. We get rid of them by making them believe that it is for their own good. Overpopulation, and mostly useless, is something that is too costly economically. Socially, too, it is much better when the human machine comes to an abrupt standstill than when it gradually deteriorates. Neither will we be able to test millions upon millions of people for their intelligence, you bet that! We will find or cause something a pandemic targeting certain people, a real economic crisis or not, a virus affecting the old or the fat, it doesn’t matter, the weak will succumb to it, the fearful and stupid will believe in it and seek treatment. We will have made sure that treatment is in place, treatment that will be the solution. The selection of idiots then takes care of itself: You go to the slaughter by yourself.” – Jacques Attali, Interviews with Michel Salomon, Les Visages de l’avenir collection, 1981
May Jacques Attali and all his Elfish ilk fester for all eternity in a river of boiling piss.
More presciently, they denied Novak Djokovic’s visa so he can’t play in the Australian Open. Even though he was given a medical exemption and allowed to come. What’s the point of pressing ahead with the Oz Open? May as well close down everything at this point.
This ain’t America. America, RIP, 1776-2021. This is AmeriKa or AmeriKant.

Banks and corporations are legal constructs. Most banks are bust, with staggering off balance sheet debts. Corporations are massively overvalued.
When I say Biden only cares, he only cares until they decide a new game. IF any number survives WW3, they won’t need banks or corporations for a few years. They are illusions, until they are no longer required.
HAUGHTINESS COMES BEFORE
THE FALL !
Carl Jones you said:
“So many on here say Biden is a lefty, socialist, or communist. This is deluded thinking. All Biden cares about are the corporations & banks.”
That is a good example of “deluded ‘thinking.'” The Satanists (i.e. communists) have launched a spiritual war against all humanity. The object has nothing to do with “corporations and banks”; rather, it’s about conquering the world for Satan. That is, it’s about evil itself – spreading evil everywhere. Whomever and whatever can’t be corrupted must be destroyed. That is the agenda.
