...the people who are in this game depend on instability, fear of attack and the occasional attack, just to keep things "real" and the market open.

The US just sold 22 fighter jets to Romania...and Australia is spending billions on new submarines.

It isn't that Romania and Australia all of a sudden are being menaced by anyone and need to defend themselves...more likely it is a clique in each government, plus bankers, which gets kick-backs in cash and other goodies as well as offering the Right parties a path to scare their way into power in each country.

And the game is further enhanced because if these governments can't afford to pay these bills with cash on hand from taxes gathered, they can borrow the money from Bankers who profit in the long run from these kinds of "emergency measures".

The same people who are selling protection are providing the violent threats(just a different department)...it's the Mafia's old game but far more sophisticated. Same with the newest versions of Fascism...it ain't your grandfather's Fascism, but it's Fascism none the less, on steroids....most of us are still looking out for jackboots, goose steps, Chaplin-style mustachios and Black Shirts.
