I’m trying hard to make this a Schnell Post: quick and simple. It’s not easy.

Let’s state the obvious: this is a REALLY big topic. It will need (and will get at some point in the future) a much, much longer treatment. But to plant the seeds which will grow into the forest of future inquiry, let’s start with one seed: a video posted in January of this year (found at the bottom of this post).

To save time, I will summarize the key-points.

The video in question highlights comments made by then presidential-candidate Robert Kennedy, Jr. in January of this year. Amazing how that sounds like a long time ago now, but it really isn’t. And everything he says still checks out (or is worse).

He begins by pointing out that Russia has tried several times to come to peace terms with Ukraine (and by extension, the U.S.), their primary concern being to stop the expansion of NATO into Ukraine, but they have been repeatedly rebuffed (the similarities between this situation and the many olive-branches Hitler offered to Britain—ignored by Churchill and his pro-war sycophants both before and after the start of WWII—are a bit eerie).

Kennedy explains the monetary motivation in the never-ending drive for NATO expansion: “The big military contractors want to add new countries to NATO all the time. Why? Because then that country has to conform its military purchases to NATO weapon specifications which means certain companies, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, General Dynamics, Boeing and Lockheed get a trapped market.” Listed as one of the top three investors for everyone one of those named companies, and often the largest or second largest institutional investor: BlackRock.

That the money going to Ukraine is actually going to defense industry investors is not a secret: When debating the $113 Billion military aid package to Ukraine in 2022, Mitch McConnell said flat out, “… don’t worry it’s not really going to Ukraine. It is going to American defense manufacturers”. He had the nerve to say this on the floor of the Senate. Keep in mind, he’s talking about U.S. tax-payer dollars. Maybe he accidentally read the quite part out loud.

BlackRock and their kindred-spirits make enormous sums of money selling arms to prolong the war. Of course, the longer the war goes on, the more of Ukraine’s infrastructure is damaged and needs to be rebuilt. Guess who is offering a helping-hand in the form of loans to pay for the rebuilding: BlackRock (and J.P. Morgan- you need a bank involved).

But it gets worse.

As Kennedy says, “why do they call it a loan? Because if they call it a loan they can impose loan conditions. And what are the loan conditions that we impose on them? Number one: an extreme austerity program so that if you’re poor in Ukraine you’re going to be poor forever. Number two, most important, Ukraine has to put all of its government owned assets up for sale to multinational corporations, including all of its agricultural land, the biggest single asset in Europe and Ukraine. There’s been a thousand years of war fought over that land. It is the richest farmland in the world. It’s the bread basket of Europe. [Nearly] 500,000 kids—Ukrainian kids—have died to keep that land as part of Ukraine. They almost certainly didn’t know about this loan condition.”

Who owns the grain terminals and the largest Black Sea port facility in Ukraine, and helped Ukraine balance their budget just months before Russia attacked: Cargill, the largest private company in the United States and the largest owner of farmland in America. Now, thanks to the debt restructuring (coordinated by the Rothschild’s by the way), Cargill, BlackRock, and other investment firms have the opportunity to buy the “bread basket” of Europe.

To summarize, the song goes like this: The owners of the US military industrial complex have 1) promoted, perhaps even instigated, a war which, 2) opens a market for them to sell their lethal wares, which in turn, 3) prolongs a war which destroys the infrastructure of the very country they are “helping”, which 4) requires that country to rebuild that now-destroyed infrastructure using contractors and loans from, 5) the owners of the US military industrial complex (repeat as long as possible, starting at 1. There is no coda.).

As an encore, part of the provisions of the loans to rebuild require the country being “helped” to sell it’s assets to the very companies that provided the weapons that prolonged the war that damaged the infrastructure, the rebuilding of which required the loans.

The troubling part, and this is for a future post, is the similarity between where big-money stands in relation to Ukrainian investment—that is to say, they cannot afford for Ukraine to lose and renege on their loans —and where U.S. big-money stood in relation to the Entente powers (principally, Britain and France) in 1917 (they literally could not afford a German victory, as the Entente would not have been able to repay their loans), and how that, in turn, led to American involvement in WWI.

I’m going to throw-up now.
