It is surprising that you have the fabled MIC on top of the list of the nasties and not the international bankers. MIC is 2nd tier parasite layer in context of unnecessary and contrived warfare. On the top are the bankers who give loans to nations to buy these expensive weapons. They have no competition either, unlike the MIC players who have to chase contracts and compete. Only a select few get to print money out of thin air and they have no competition.

"Who runs barter town" is imho the most geopolitically illuminating sentence to ever come out of Hollywood.. That's what it's all about.
