  In the modern era, the US president doesn’t need to actually have a justification for starting a war, just the possibility of profit.

    It’s not a war, it’s an engagement of political discourse through military action to accommodate business interests.

    Because they control all the media. So their talking heads just make up some obvious lies, and they are spouted and propagated without being challenged by actual journalism.

  There’s a lot of crazy conspiracy theorists who believe Kennedy rejecting the operation in 1962 may have had something to do with his head doing that thing it did in Dallas in 1963.

  Obviously not the only factor. He had a lot of strikes against him for pushing back on the plans of men who weren’t elected to run the United States, but felt entitled to do so on account of knowing what was best for democracy.

      That’s my favourite conspiracy theory, JFK’s head just did that on its own.

    There was also talk, I believe, of ending some of the oil and gas subsidies, which is where the Bush connection comes in

    It really doesn’t, if you’ve heard the orange talk recently.

    Considering going after Cuba has been floated as recently as last week, it doesn’t

  I bet there is a proposal, we just haven’t learned about it yet.
