US Military Industrial Complex passes $61billion blood money budget for global carnage and Israel’s ethnic cleansing war crime

I fear the US Military Industrial Complex, in its never ending greed for war profits is eating America on a. dangerous collision course in various hot spots around the globe and it once again demands a debate about this new hard right racist beneficiary bashing climate denying Government’s sudden excitement to plunge us into America’s latest war agenda, a debate Chris Luxon is very keen to shut down from ever happening…

Luxon refuses to guarantee public consultation on AUKUS Pillar 2

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has repeatedly dodged questions over whether the government would sign up to AUKUS Pillar 2 without consulting the public.

He was asked to guarantee the New Zealand public would be consulted if the government signed up to the deal.

“Those are things that our officials will work through in the coming months and years, as I’ve said to you,” he said.

He was asked again.

“We’ll work our way through that, all we’re saying at this point is exactly what the previous government said, we’re open to exploring it, we need to understand it, we need to see if there is an opportunity or a role for New Zealand to play, but we’ll work our way through that, and our officials will work their way through that.”

A third question of whether the public would be consulted proved not to be the proverbial charm.

“Again, it’s all too premature,” he said. “In opposition I tried to be as bipartisan as I could with the previous government, and we’ll maintain the same position which is that we’re open to exploring options under Pillar 2 of AUKUS.”

It was put to him the coalition parties had not campaigned on joining AUKUS, so did the government not have a mandate to do so without consulting the public.

“Again, it’s just way too premature. What we’ve got to do is just first and foremost identify whether there is an opportunity or options available for us to explore under Pillar 2,” Luxon said.

…there are rumours that America wants a Naval base in Northland as it extends its influence over the South Pacific…

The $95 billion US foreign military aid bill is currently in the Senate and will be signed off by President Biden soon.  Most news coverage has been about the aid for Ukraine and Israel but hidden away in the bill is $8 billion of military aid for countries in the Indo-Pacific region.  Aid that includes the following key expenditure: 

• • $3.3 billion to build dry docks and facilities to support operating submarines in the region.
  • $2 billion in the Foreign Military Financing Programme for allies and security partners.
  • $1.9 billion to support defence infrastructure in partner countries. 
  • $542 million allocated to improve US military capability in the region.
  • $ 133 million toward production and development of artillery ammunition and missiles.

Much of the aid is specifically focussed on Taiwan but will ‘trickle down’ throughout the Pacific and the bullet points provide an indication of future planning.  The largest budget line is for the development of the capacity to support submarines operating in the region.  It reinforces US naval planning for a future conflict in which carrier task groups are vulnerable to Chinese long-range missiles. Therefore, the development or larger, more effective and well-supported submarine forces that are harder to target with missile is a US priority.

…our own Spy Agency was so corrupted by America, they allowed the NSA to use our systems to target and kill America’s enemies and the GCSB are now refusing to answer anymore questions after it was made public that they never had any sign off for that by any civilian official…

Spy agency GCSB refuses to release details of spy deal ‘to protect interests’

…the GCSB are refusing to tell us the people or our political representative what they fuck they were doing in the name of America!

Right now this new Government have sucked us into the vortex of a new war in the Red Sea as Winston sells our independent foreign policy to the American Military Industrial Complex for 3 Magic Beans!

…last week the NZDF kindly informed us  that their mission in Yemen will be kinetic and might kill civilians.

Why are NZ taxpayers paying to bomb the poorest country in the middle east in a tactic that almost every single intelligence network tells us will only empower the Houthie?

Luxon doesn’t want us even discussing any of this as he quite kills off NZs independent foreign policy making us a vassal for American Corporate interests.

Looking at the Military Industrial Complex Budget, the risk of inflating already tense geopolitical hotspots continues.

Taiwan: The fear is the China’s economy post their disastrous Covid response has actually been far greater than the West suspects and that Xi needs a nationalist war to force angry Chinese citizens to rally around the leader. Providing more military support for Taiwan and encroaching further into the South Pacific could almost certainly provoke a conflict.

Israel: Israel are currently conducting an ethnic cleansing war crime in real time and America’s decision to gift them billions more in weapons right as Netanyahu is about to green light the invasion of Rafah is a genocide too far. Watch for Iran successfully testing a nuclear weapon before Trump’s election in November.

Ukraine: Trump’s likely election in November will also accelerate the possibility of a nuclear device being used in the Ukrainian conflict. Zelenskyy knows a Trump Presidency would hang Ukraine out for a peace deal with Putin so Zelenskyy’s only play is to use the next ten weaponry from the West to strike deep inside Russia to provoke Putin and escalate the war too a level that it threatens NATO and forces them to side with the Ukraine before Trump can cut all funding.

The war mongers are winning and the peace lovers are dying.

This American Blood budget won’t protect us, it will merely speed up conflict.
