A constant direction in US foreign policy is to make wars, for otherwise Lockheed and BAE wouldn't have enough new orders. It is just that simple! The most dangerous prospect for the US weapon industry (USWI) is if a widespread benignity would prevail in the world affairs. Who would be making orders then? That's why they've made 9/11. USWI has been developed in a cold war atmosphere. Without cold war USWI can hardly survive, so that is why they are making plenty of real wars all around by lobbying in DC.

Lobbying is as old as prostitution and these professionals resemble in that the ones sell their bodies and the other ones together with their collaborators their souls. Albright that managed the Jewish lobby once upon a time, organized the fusion of the Turkey’s lobby with that of “Israel”. {both countries were created by occupying foreign land}. In Brussels there were about 10.000 EU employs and 2.000 lobbyists {1985}. Half of them promoted US, Turkish and “Israeli” interests. They organize receptions for good causes, where they can approach the EU employees. They are very sympathetic to the problems of the EU employees and they can help with money, with lobbying, with advise etc. They can provide incentive journeys etc and even well build prostitutes.

Most of America's major problems would be solved and things would be more evenhanded if only lobying was made a crime as it should be. A better name for it should be called bribery. If this cancer on America could be cured, then America could get back to following the constitution [not big donations dominating American policies]. Corruption is the cancer that is about to change America for ever. Once the billionaires nudge America into socialism//slave state status they will probably own America for the next 100 years[the land, resources, banks/money and of course the people]. American media seems to have been under their grip for a very long time. It is almost impossible to get honest reporting in any of the American news media. It makes you wonder who ownes and controls the content coming out of these institutions. People don't need nonstop propaganda. All they need is the straight and honest news
