9/11 was a happy accident that led to the most prosperous time in the world for the military industrial complex because it was remarkably easy to manufacture consent for a 20 year war in the wake of such an incident. Now that that’s over Boeing, Lockheed, et al are salivating at the idea of a new “intervention” that gives an excuse to keep raising the us military budget by billions to literal trillions of dollars.
They saw the writing on the wall in the early 2000s and did nothing to stop bin Laden. Ramzi yousef planned 9/11 (bojinga) and was caught during a test bombing, the intel was sat on by Clinton and bush. This is not a secret conspiracy, Clinton writes about it as a regret in his biography because optics forced him to do so. He literally had folders on his desk warning him about the potential of an attack but he was too busy grooming and raping interns to deal with it. Bush too, but he was just evil and wanted it to happen.
If 9/11 didn’t happen the likely outcome would’ve been pressure to start shrinking the military budget. Why not? Desert storm was a decade earlier and America was essentially seen as invulnerable at the time. The military budget even then was obscene. But 9/11 gave a pretense to go wild. If you disagreed then you must think America deserves to experience another 9/11! Don’t pay attention to the wildly inflating budgets, patriot act, Wikileaks, or what Snowden said
With the Afghanistan/Iraq nonsense officially “ended” the same problem arises, except faster because information travels much quicker than 1993-2001. Eventually people will realize we spend more money on defense than the next 5 nations in the world combined, which includes China and Russia. People will realize their tax dollars aren’t going to their kids schools, or to the roads that haven’t been repaired in 2 decades, or to the crumbling above ground power lines that are dangerous and subject to inclement weather, they overwhelmingly go to military contractors for Israel’s genocide and Ukraine’s nato proxy war.
As a result intervention in Venezuela is likely inevitable. It’s classic playbook. They have oil, which is a huge incentive for the gop morons that are fine with the world burning. Drug trafficking does occur through Venezuela, like every country, and the CIA and DEA want control of those routes because they are corrupt. They’re in Latin America, and American imperialism is no stranger to destabilizing that region. But even if none of this were true it doesn’t matter because the military industrial complex needs a sacrifice to keep their profits rising
