Military Industrial Complex - Secret Business of War
Military Industrial Complex
Description-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military-industrial_complex
Short clip (4 minutes) of Eisenhower speech with added context-
The Gulf of Tonkin (declassified) - staged event used as pretext for the U.S. to enter Vietnam War.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_of_Tonkin
"On 4 August 1964, United States President Lyndon B. Johnson erroneously claimed that North Vietnamese forces had twice attacked American destroyers in the Gulf of Tonkin. Known today as the Gulf of Tonkin Incident, this event spawned the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution of 7 August 1964, ultimately leading to open war between North Vietnam and the United States. It furthermore foreshadowed the major escalation of the Vietnam War in South Vietnam, which began with the landing of US regular combat troops at Da Nang in 1965."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_of_tonkin_incident
"In 2005, an internal National Security Agency historical study was declassified; it concluded... "regarding August 4:
It is not simply that there is a different story as to what happened; it is that no attack happened that night. [...] In truth, Hanoi's navy was engaged in nothing that night but the salvage of two of the boats damaged on August 2."
JFK Secret Society Speech
The Senator who Suspected a JFK Conspiracy
http://senatoryarborough.tripod.com/
"Had Kennedy lived, I think we would have had no Vietnam war, with all of its traumatic and divisive influences in America. I think we would have escaped that. I think the world would have escaped the 50,000 odd Americans dead and 300,000 more wounded and over half a million more hooked on dangerous drugs ... tropical diseases ... the divisiveness of that war that so many of the people thought unjustified and unnecessary ... and that we shouldn't have been there ... that split this country. Many of those things have lingered on since."
--former senator Ralph Yarborough, interviewed in the documentary, The Men Who Killed Kennedy: Part 5: The Witnesses
Eisenhower speaks about JFK assassination
The War Business
by Chalmers Johnson
http://www.wesjones.com/business.htm
"When a political problem becomes a business problem, a shift occurs. Responsibility is displaced and consequences diffused. This dislocation of responsibility has roots in a much older phenomenon, in which empires sought to "outsource" the enforcement of their political will. The British had their Gurkhas, Sikhs, and sepoys; the French, their Foreign Legion; the Dutch, their Ambonese; the Russians, their Cossacks; and the Japanese, their puppet armies in Manchuria, China, Indonesia, and Burma. Replacing homeland soldiers with local cannon fodder and setting one indigenous ethnic or religious group against another have often made the policing of a subordinate people easier and less expensive.
...
None of this bears any relation to private enterprise, whatever else it might be called. Without the "rigors of the marketplace" only the profit remains. The biggest of all munitions companies, the Lockheed Martin Corporation, played an important behind-the-scenes role in developing support for Bush's war with Iraq. In 2002 its former vice president Bruce Jackson became chairman of a "private" lobbying organization, the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq. Charter members include George Shultz and John McCain. In fiscal year 2002, Lockheed Martin received $17 billion in contracts from the Pentagon - up from $14.7 billion in 2001 - and almost $2 billion for the design of nuclear weapons from the Department of Energy. In the year prior to the war, the company's profits rose by 36 percent. This is the future.
When war becomes the most profitable course of action, we can certainly expect more of it."

Persecution Notes
This link shows a map of the world based on current levels of Christian persecution:
http://beavoiceformartyrs.blogspot.com/2011/01/2011-prayer-map-for-restricted-nations.html
Here is a past history of evil dictators (who tend always to focus on killing Jews and/or Christians) - God's chosen people.
Biblical instances:
1) Egypt (Pharaoh enslaved the Jews) - Book of Exodus
2) King Ahasuerus (reigned from India to Ethiopia, over 127 provinces) - Book of Esther
Esther 4:13 - "And the letters were sent by posts to all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women..."
3) Massacre of the innocents - Book of Matthew
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massacre_of_the_Innocents
There are more instances... (i.e. the book of Daniel). These are the ones off the top of my head.
In the this age, since the resurrection and pouring out of the Holy Spirit of Jesus:
1) Hitler (sought to eradicate all Christians and Jews)
2) Stalin (persecuted Christians and Jews)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Christians_in_the_Soviet_Union
3) Pol Pot (targeted all religion for elimination - which of course included Christians and Jews)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pol_Pot
4) Mao (persecuted Christians and Jews)
add link - info on Wikipedia strangely sparse - Chairman Mao's atrocities not a popular subject to bring up (especially since the White House hangs his ornaments on Christmas trees and lights the empire state building red - now days)
5) Dictator of Iran (on record with goal to eliminate Jerusalem)
6) New dictator of Egypt (on record with goal to turn Jerusalem into Egypt's new capital).
Again, there are more instances... These are the ones off the top of my head.
It's amazing how this thing has come full circle - from Egypt to Egypt.
Here are some links for further research:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Christians
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Jews
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brother_Yun
Note: The catholic church persecuted Jews - obviously, Jesus would never condone such actions. This is an example of the difference between man's religion and Jesus Christ.

Don't Worry
(Matthew 6:34 NKJV): "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."
(Philippians 4:6 NKJV) "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with Thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard you hearts and minds in Christ Jesus."
(John 14:27 NKJV) "Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid"
(Philippians 4:6 NKJV) "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with Thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard you hearts and minds in Christ Jesus."
(John 14:27 NKJV) "Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid"
