Economic Hitmen
There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is by the sword. The other is by debt.
— John Adams

John Perkins - Economic Hitman
#IMF #WorldBank
The precedent for economic hitmen:

Iran 1953
Guatemala 1954
Ecuador 1981
Panama 1981
Venezuela 2002
Iraq 2003

Iraq is the perfect example of how the whole system works:

Step One
The Economic Hitmen

Step Two
The Jackals

Step Three
The Military
An empire was created.
The Corporatocracy act as the Emperor of this Empire. They all work under one primary assumption, and that is that they must maximize profits, regardless of the social and environmental cost.

The civilian devastation that is happening right now in Gaza is the consequence of a war policy that has a very loose interpretation of what a military target is. — 🇮🇱 journalist @yuval_abraham

The war of terror was part of the plan for the Greater Israel Project. An excuse was needed to justify the expansion of Israel so the seeds of sectarian hatred and violence had to be sown in the region.

It's beyond naive to suggest the US doesn't have its fingerprints all over ISIS. ISIS never once attacked Israel, and ISIS militants were getting medical attention in Israel-occupied Golan Heights and in Israel itself.
The war on Islam.
The so-called Islamic State is anything but Islamic - they are creations of the US, and its cohorts in UK and Israel in particular, to justify the US policy of neverending war.

At the 1979 Jerusalem Conference on International Terrorism coordinated by Netanyahu, the idea that the US & its western allies should come fight a "war on terror" against Israel's enemies b/c "the real target of 'Islamic terrorism' is the west," was rolled out. Bush Sr agreed.
Promoting the idea of fighting terrorism became Netanyahu's career.
After the construct for a war on terror was created, a face for "Islamic terrorism" was needed, so Al-Qaeda was created with funding from the CIA and Saudi Arabia, and weapons and training from Israel.
By the mid-80s they'd created the construct of the war on terrorism, and they's created the boogeyman, and then, in order to make the war on terror operational and go into effect, they just needed the match that lit the fire. And that was September 11.

The US took over the German war against the Soviet Union. The CIA, using Nazis, the SS, and other war criminals, was the most important element in the underground warfare, the Cold War, against the Soviet Union & its allies in Eastern Europe.
After the Bolshevik Revolution, Ukrainian (& Russian) exiles in Paris were trained & cultivated by nazis. A Ukrainian army from OUN was part of the Nazi invasion of the SU in 1941.
Hitler's Chief of Intelligence for the Eastern Front, Reinhard Gehlen "surrendered" to the US.
Gehlen, a war criminal wanted by the SU, was flown to the US. He recruited & trained eastern Europeans as saboteurs to forment rebellions in their home countries to retard economic recovery after the war so that there could be a huge contrast between western & eastern Europe.
