The man in the High Castle, Amazon Prime will give you an example.
Not only language.
The Man in the High Castle is a startling depiction of an alternate history as imagined by author Philip K. Dick in his best-selling novel; a world in which Nazi Germany and Japan were victorious in World War II.

Newt Gingrich has on FB "" What If "" stories and this one would be a good one to have him do .

That depends on what group you followed after the Tower of Babel.

Bankers might make money on wars but the only banker wars I know of are when they are foreclosing on someone

If you knew the basis for any of it, you wouldn't have written that, so I'll forgive your ignorance. I'm not going to waste my time trying to edjumicate you because you won't pay one whit of attention and in the end, it won't make any difference anyway. Take it from a decorated Marine Corps General. It's a racket where the profits are measured in dollars and the losses in lives.
SO, you say Pearl Harbor was a lie? You are the ignorant one here.
You have no idea what would happen to the world if we were to shut down our military. That fact
says everything about your smarts.

Exactly! We would be living as slaves to our Nazi masters, or serfs to our Japanese imperial warlords! War is absolutely necessary at times. Especially in times like now when the muslim enemy sees the advantage of life in paradise with 72 doe eyed virgins. There's just no getting through with fanatics like these with dialogue. So I send them to their 72 virgins.
Whenever I see one of those stupid bumper stickers, "War is not the answer." I'm temped to scribble in at the bottom, "Then surrender".
Like Reagan told us in his 'Rendezvous With Destiny' speech when he was fighting the USSR, "We can have peace in the next second - by surrendering"

Wasn't supposed to be won, just sustained. The longer that awful war continued, the more defense spending was needed to sustain it. Take a look at the current conflicts in the Middle East and tell me that after 18 years the most advanced military machine in the history of mankind is still unable to put a lid on it? Gimme a break. This is being sustained purposely to appropriate literally $trillions into the military-industrial complex. The same setup President Eisenhower warned us of over seventy years ago.

Wouldn't it be neat to have a bumper sticker Then Surrender to put along side of the War is not the answer sticker !

It was the same strategy during WW1. While that war was concluded with a victory, G. Edward Griffin writes in his book, "The Creature From Jekyll Island" that measures were taken to deliberately prolong the war for the sake of profit.
Profit trumps life, as long as it isn't the profiteers paying the price.
