I have a t-shirt that says “I would rather have dangerous freedom that safe slavery”

Freedom takes work.

I've often thought of the "leader" of our nation as an empty suit. Upon reflecting on his pronouncements, I've change my view. The suit is not empty if lies have any substance.

The GWOT was started by a Bush, right?

The mass of contracts went to Halliburton, right?

'Nuff said! Plunder, plain & simple!

In answer to your question “why do we never hear about it anymore,”

Because the perpetrators have been replaced by the true professionals: the political “leaders.”

Now it’s all around you.

As the Liberty and prosperity gets drained out of our lives, we feel it, but don’t see it. It’s Much more insidious, seemingly more subtle than the barbaric butchers of 2 decades ago, but as the jingle goes

“Every stroke you make, every breath you take, every move you make, we’ll be watching you.” ~ until you’re needed, to set an example.

Just my tinfoil hat theory.

The GWOT petered out because the opposing combatants were both bought out and taken over by the same entity. The CCP now has control over the Taliban, the mullahs in Iran (via their vassal state Russia) and the United States, thanks to their 10% investment in "The Big Guy". Schwab and the WEF are just another front through which Xi is exerting control over other nations. Thanks to our greedy desire for the cheapest possible prices, we are now China's bitch.
