War is big business for the military-industrial complex and the bankers. The USA is the world’s largest arms manufacturer and exporter.

Below is a list of major conflicts from the October Revolution in 1917 –which was financed by U.S. Bankers– to 2014.   After a small group of private bankers hit the jackpot and were granted a monopoly over the U.S. money supply in 1913, they wasted no time financing both sides of the Bolshevik Revolution, WWI, WWII, the Vietnam war and others.   Yes, your tax dollars and American bankers funded the weapons used to kill your sons and daughters.   When will enough be enough?
