The U.S. military interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan have cost taxpayers nearly $5 trillion and counting, according to a new report released to coincide with the 15th anniversary of the attacks.

Dr. Neta Crawford, professor of political science at Brown University, released the figures in an independent analysis (pdf) of U.S. Departments of Defense, State, Homeland Security, and Veteran Affairs spending, as well as their base and projected future spending. Crawford is also a director at Brown's Costs of War Project, which works to draw attention to the human, economic, and political toll of the military response to 9/11.

In total, the wars already boast a price tag of $4.79 trillion, she found. And the cost is still climbing.

Welcome to "Little America": Hub for the US Military's Global Drone War

Known as “Little America” in this mainly rural corner of Germany, the area now includes 57,000 US citizens clustered around Ramstein and a dozen smaller bases. The Defense Department calls it “the largest American community outside of the United States.” Ramstein serves as the biggest Air Force cargo port beyond US borders, providing “full spectrum airfield operations” along with “world-class airlift and expeditionary combat support.” The base also touts “superior” services and “exceptional quality of life.” To look at Ramstein and environs is to peer into a faraway mirror for the United States; what’s inside the frame is normality for endless war.

Ramstein’s gigantic Exchange store (largest in the US military) is the centerpiece for an oversize shopping mall, just like back home. A greeting from the Holy Family Catholic Community at Ramstein tells newcomers: “We know that being in the military means having to endure frequent moves to different assignments. This is part of the price we pay by serving our country.” Five American colleges have campuses on the base. Ellenmarie Zwank Brown, who identifies herself as “an Air Force wife and a physician,” is reassuring in a cheerful guidebook that she wrote for new arrivals: “If you are scared of giving up your American traditions, don’t worry! The military goes out of its way to give military members an American way of life while living in Germany.”

Harper’s election failure creates cracks in the global war on terror

Vatic Note:  I don't like to get into the "left vs right" game since its a dividing tactic used in the past by those trying to conquer a nation.  However, it was decided by the powers that be that using the liberal side of the government, was more acceptable to the concept of "communism", then using Conservative label, since it would be difficult to connect how the government reached that path through the right.  Further it was create a doubt how those doing the labeling for the PTB, since the right is more toward fascism than toward communism.

However, what we are discovering is:   
1.  Both sides have sold out and are traitors,   
2.  Communism is a road down the path to fascism.  
3.  That the khazars own the fascist corporations, no less, than they own the press, thus are the beneficiaries of any plan to take control of the globe and use the press to promote and sell their agenda,
4.  that muslims are bad guys, thus we need a police state.   Except they are not honest about who the bad guys really are.
5.   As usual, the khazar money bankers like to use "WAR" as a way to gaining control of their population, thus who is at the top of the political system is important to the evil ones.   This is one example where they lost.

Its not only important to know about "WHO" is doing all this, but also "WHY", since that tells us what is important to those doing this and who they are, and once we have that, we can fight back, since we know then, who our true enemy is.   Read this below, and this will help us to see just how smart these evil ones really are.   If you can't scam with one story, then scam with a new one modified and "controlled', and that is how I am reading this entire article.  Do we have some "controlled opposition" here at work?

If we stay UNITED through all of this,  THEY CANNOT SUCCEED without risking themselves in the effort.  We are 300 million fully armed citizens.  Here we are 250 years later, blessing our forefathers for their foresight with respect to our personal weapons and the danger that exists by an uncontrolled government run by a foreign country and its bankers. This below is a fully exposing campaign against the powers that be without mentioning the important "who".    Harper is owned and controlled by the khazar bankers who call themselves "Jewish" and "Israeli's" and who are neither.

You read and decide.

After taking his vow of office, Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau introduced his new cabinet. Canada’s triumphant leader rightfully boasted that the new face of his government authentically reflects Canada’s multicultural population. Moreover half of his appointees are women. One of them, Jody Wilson-Raybould, is a member of the Kwakwaka’wakw First Nation as well as Canada’s first Aboriginal Minister of Justice.
 
Another striking appointment is that of Maryam Monsef. Age 30, Ms. Monsef is the youngest Minister as well as the first Muslim ever to hold a cabinet position in Canada’s executive branch. Monsef emigrated from Afghanistan when she was 11 years old. Trudeau assigned to the youthful cabinet inductee the Democratic Institutions portfolio.

Heartbreaking: Here’s What A U.S Soldier Said When Asked To Justify The War On Terror

Vatic Note:  This is a compelling testimony from a victim of the society and civilization we have become.  I call him/her victim because they were not "raised" that way as children.   They became callous, detached, non empathic, lack compassion, because as adults we socially have been engineered to think that way.   We have been socially engineered through desensitizing us to the in humanity we are surrounded with day by day.

We don't see other cultures as we see ourselves, rather we are indoctrinated to see them only as "the enemy" and not humans like ourselves.  propaganda, disinformation, indoctrination, false flags blamed on the so called chosen "enemy of the day", and then taught and ordered to perform horrific acts of inhumanity against the members of that society.   Its a satanic way of dealing with wounded souls who are  contantly being assaulted.  The Palestinians come to mind.

Its the infiltrated Khazars, into our government, industries, professions, that has brought these tools and techniques to our shores to change the perceptions of the American taxpaying citizen.  Torture, genocide, decapitation etc, are all crimes against humanity that we, as Americans, would never have accepted in the past and today we don't bat an eyelid.  These khazar psychologists have succeeded in fostering a breed of human animal that we had never seen before in the ancient and early past.  We should be ashamed of ourselves for ever, ever letting that  happen.

Read this and see what I mean.   You decide.

When a Reddit user posted an open question to U.S soldiers asking them how they justify their actions against innocent civilians abroad, he probably didn’t expect this candid response…

‘You kill. Watch friends die. It’s usually quick, almost never quiet, but for the rest of your life, when you remember sitting at the bar with them, they’re blown open. You picture the nights you spent downtown at Scruffy Murphy’s, but instead of the stupid hookah shell necklace, your boy’s jaw is blown off, and his left eye is ruined, and he’s screaming.

You fight, you kill, you watch friends die, and you notice a distinct lack of change. You kick in doors and tell terrified women to sit on the floor while you and your friends ransack their home, tearing the place apart, because they might be hiding weapons.

There is no reason to believe this house in particular is enemy, same for the next one, and the one after that, or the seven before; they just happened to be there, and maybe they had weapons. Probably not, they almost never did.’

QUESTIONS YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO ASK ABAOUT ISIS: #1 -- THOSE TOYOTA TRUCKS

Vatic Note: What an excellent analysis this is. He does a superb job in touching on the truly important points of these issues.  I find it interesting that these SUV's and trucks, especially the white ones with or without logos, happen to be the same color and choices of SUV and trucks, as that bought by Homeland Security for use as a police state spying vehicle for use on American soil.   I see them everywhere, all the time and I actually ask who ever is driving, if they work for Homeland Security and get a surprised look on their faces, and basically, a question that says "how did you know???"

I have said all along that Homeland Security is nothing less than the bogus terrorist group called "storm troopers" created by the Rothschild funded Zionazi's of Germany in WW II, to use against their own people and now they are proving it by their uses here. They are building a terrorist organization under the legal cover of government that is foreign occupied, like Germany was during WW II and ironically by the exact same khazar Rothschild bankers.  

These are soul-less/spiritless people, so they lack ingenuity and creativity, thus they "always" use what has worked in the past for them, and drill it to death.  Because of that, they get caught every time by those who study history.  That is exactly the case here and now.  No wonder they don't like RH neg blood.

October 08, 2015 "Information Clearing House" - "Off-Guardian" - SIS. Murky, masked, terrifying Bad Guys.

Islamic hardliners, doing unspeakably ghastly things in faraway sandy places. A horde poised to be unleashed on the innocent everywhere. They merge in the Jungian western mind with race memories of the Saracen, that other convenient boogey man from a previous and ultimately ill-fated bid to make strategic conquest into a moral Crusade.
