What the ME War is All About

It's what all war is about:

"In time of actual war, great discretionary powers are constantly
given to the Executive Magistrate. Constant apprehension of War, has
the same tendency to render the head too large for the body. A
standing military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be
safe companions to liberty. The means of defence agst. foreign danger,
have been always the instruments of tyranny at home. Among the Romans
it was a standing maxim to excite a war, whenever a revolt was
apprehended. Throughout all Europe, the armies kept up under the
pretext of defending, have enslaved the people." - James Madison

"The Most Dreaded Enemy of Liberty
by James Madison, August 1793

Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be
dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other.
War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and
armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing
the many under the domination of the few. In war, too, the
discretionary power of the Executive is extended; its influence in
dealing out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied; and all the
means of seducing the minds, are added to those of subduing the
force, of the people. . . . [There is also an] inequality of
fortunes, and the opportunities of fraud, growing out of a state of
war, and . . . degeneracy of manners and of morals. . . . No nation
could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare. . . . -
James Madison

[It should be well understood] that the powers proposed to be
surrendered [by the Third Congress] to the Executive were those which
the Constitution
has most jealously appropriated to the Legislature. . . . - James
Madison, Constitutional Convention, June 29, 1787

I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom
of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power
than by violent and sudden usurpations. - James Madison, Speech in the
Virginia Convention (1788-06-16)

"A tyrant is always stirring up some war or other, in order that the
people may require a leader." - Plato

"Be it thy policy to busy giddy minds with foreign quarrels." -
William Shakespeare, "King Lear":

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders
of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple
matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist
dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or
no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the
leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being
attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and
exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the
Nuremberg trials

and let's not forget this gem:

"Wars should be directed so that the nations engaged on both sides
should be further in our debt." - Amschel Bauer (to become known as
Rothschild) addressing bankers in his goldsmith shop (upon which hung
a shingle with a red shield on it), Frankfurt in 1773

Don't you think that $1.6 trillion just in admitted banking assests is
money enough for the Rothschild genetic waste material?

Don't you think that enough people have died making them yet richer?
