> "Until WW II armies fought armies.  During WW II war against civilians was initiated by Winston Churchill. At the time it was considered a war crime, and Churchill kept the British bombing attacks on German cities secret from the British people.  The American fire bombing of Tokyo was also a war crime and culminated in the nuclear destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Today wars are fought against civilians.  Israel in Gaza is an example.  In present day war plans, nuclear missiles are aimed at the opponent’s civilian cities, not against armies.  The aim of nuclear war is to destroy the country and the population of the opponent.  It is civilians who are at risk. > > "Americans need to understand that when generals talk about war today, it is the lives of civilians that are at risk." -- [Paul Craig Roberts](

> “The powers of financial capitalism had a far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences.” Carroll Quigley, *Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time* (1966)
