War Inc. – A $300 Billion Dollar Business By William Bowles
Up until the late 19th century, almost all wars were fought with mercenary armies but WWI changed all that. Once war became industrialised and seriously large-scale, relying on relatively small armies, hired from countries far and wide, was no longer practical, nor was it politically acceptable given the appeals to ‘patriotism’ emanating from the ruling… Continue reading

The coup de grace By William Bowles
Whatever pronouncements USUK have made over the past months, all are exposed for what they are, utter shams. Shams moreover, that they have been forced to make under public pressure, though it’s of little comfort and makes little difference. Continue reading

Iraq – The War, the Real Reasons By William Bowles
One thing is clear, this awful war has absolutely nothing to do with Saddam Hussein’s tyranny nor with ‘weapons of mass destruction’ as I will show in this essay. Indeed, Hussein’s regime owes its very existence as far back as the 1970s when Hussein’s military coup was supported by USUK against the left-wing, anti-western government… Continue reading
