years in helping humanity - war money

peter.ca/habitus

It is vitally important for continued profit that certain large corporations support the creation of more and more armament, regardless of how many innocent lives are lost in the process. It's all just collateral damage, after all. And if the legion of death they help create turns a tidy profit, well, why not:

Who	approx annual revenue	approx % revenue from war contracts (Does not include indirect profits from war)
Lockheed Martin	$37,000,000,000	65%
General Dynamics	$23,000,000,000	55%
Raytheon	$22,000,000,000	45%
Northrop Grumman	$30,000,000,000	42%
Halliburton	$10,000,000,000	41%
Science Applications Int’l	$8,000,000,000	35%
Boeing	$54,000,000,000	35%

While none of those corporations supra or their confrères such as United Technologies, Veritas Capital Fund, Washington Group International, International American Products, Perini, Parsons, Environmental Chemical, L-3 Communications, Halliburton, and the like would do so of course, one cannot but wonder if there might not be a few rogue companies somewhere which create profit by building weapons of genocide and crimes against humanity. They might for example, produce 125 new large scale nuclear bombs per year at a cost to their country’s taxpayer of more than $25,000,000,000 per annum - far more than any other country on the planet, and more than enough to kill every living entity many times over. Nor would these corporations ever consider aiding in construction of Complex 2030 to augment nuclear weapons facilities throughout their country. Nor would they participate in the the Reliable Replacement Warhead program, happily replacing old nuclear weapons with massively more lethal ones. Both actions would be a clear and obvious violation of the 1970 Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and the 1991 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, so of course none of the corporations listed supra would even consider being involved in such law breaking and crimes against humanity.

Participating in the massive buildup of such weaponry would be also be a clear indicator of the psychopathology of the CEOs and government officials involved. But since no one who is insane could ever rise to high office, obviously neither government nor corporate leaders could be involved in such matters. Nor could they be involved in the wholesale mass production and deployment of cluster bombs, land mines, atomic weapons, biological weapons, crowd control microwave, napalm, MK77, BZ, or any other such horrors clearly in violation of a plethora of international conventions to which their nation is a signatory.

Might it be possible that the billions of dollars poured into the coffers of those who do participate in creating, manufacturing, and deploying this odium could be put to other use? Could such corporate profits which derive largely from taxpayer pocketbooks, be used for improving education, housing, reducing poverty, providing fresh water, providing medical care for the poor, and the like? Perhaps. But there is obviously no other way to defend oneself from artificially manufactured threat and socially engineered fear, than through armament and military build up. And if a little profit is made on the side for those in the business or their former employees now in Cabinet, well, why not?
