No, the war is not over. No, it’s not going to be over for a long time. It won’t end until nobody can make any more money from the war. It’s quite clear how openly corrupt the Russian oligarch system has shown itself to be. Soldiers have to buy their own protective equipment, nothing really works because the guys who were supposed to manufacture war material just took as much money out of the system as possible. The Russians have to go begging to Iran for drones and missiles because they don’t have enough of their own. That’s what happens when money is sucked out and nothing of value is produced.

And you think the system in the West is any better? The budgets are bigger and the theft is therefore even greater. 839 billion dollars for 2022. That includes money for weapons sent to Ukraine. The Institute of Politics (https://iop.harvard.edu/get-involved/harvard-political-review/waste-greed-and-fraud-business-makes-world%E2%80%99s-greatest-army) has an interesting article with the title: Waste, Greed, and Fraud: The Business that Makes the World’s Greatest Army. I put a list of the top 10 companies and how much they get from the billions spent on defense on the archive dot org site for this program. Go have a look. Meanwhile, I’ll just read you the top 3 and how much they get: Lockheed Martin $40.2B, Boeing $22.1B, Raytheon $20.7B. And there are four Big Pharma companies on the list. The money is not just for missiles and jets, but for drugs as well.

Mike Papantonio will talk about huge profits for Exxon and Pfizer and how Saudi Arabia controls Twitter. A new episode of SUDS at the end of this hour, and all the music is by Joni Mitchell.

Top 10 largest defense contractors in FY2021:

Lockheed Martin Corp. $40.2B

Boeing Co. $22.1B

Raytheon Technologies Corp. $20.7B

General Dynamics Corp. $17.8B

Pfizer Inc. $13.3B

Northrop Grumman Corp. $12.9B

Huntington Ingalls Industries Inc. $7.4B

Humana Inc. $7.1B

Moderna Inc. $6.9B

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. $5.6B

Stay safe. Stay healthy.

I’ll talk to you again, later.

In the second hour:

The COVID cough is still with me. It’s not like a regular cough that you can hear in your lungs and that eventually dries up and goes away. This cough pops up only from time to time, when you’re least expecting it. And then it feels like it’s just sitting there not going anywhere. It’s annoying as hell. I wonder if it’ll just quietly fade into the background and disappear or if it will be there to plague me forever, kind of waiting in the background for it’s next virus cousin to show up and hit me with a new strain so that they can then team up and get me that way. By the way, you know that Moderna and Pfizer and all the other companies have not put the vaccines into the public domain. If you were listening to the first hour of the program you would know how bloody ruthless these people are, allowing millions to die so they can boost their profits.

Human beings are nasty creatures.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez talks about what happened in the midterm elections in the USA and how the party leaders in New York screwed everything up and helped the Republicans win the House of Representatives. Lewis Black delivers some caustic comedy and Joni Mitchell continues to present us with excellent music.

Stay safe.

I’ll talk to you again later.
