Pope Condemns War Profiteers: ‘Industry Of Death’
Pope Francis has condemned arms manufacturers and the war industry.
The remarks came Monday in response to a question from one of the 7,000 teachers, parents and children participating in an audience with the Pontiff, ANSA reports.
“This is serious,” Francis said. “Some powerful people make their living with the production of arms. It’s the industry of death.”…
The Pope said the question should be, “Why do many powerful people not want peace? Because they live off war: the arms industry,” he said, charging the industry arms all sides in a conflict.
“When we see that everything revolves around money — the economic system revolves around money and not around the person, men and women, but money — so much is sacrificed and war is waged in order to defend the money.”

A defense industry based economy only works if you there is a demand for the product.

But George Jr said “God told me to invade Iraq” so that Cheney’s bankrupt Halliburton wouldn’t stay insolvent! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BaksqH2YXQ

Bob Dylan – Masters of Wars
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOyWO2K9Crw
Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build the big bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks
You that never done nothin’
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it’s your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly
Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain
You fasten the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
As young people’s blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud
You’ve thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain’t worth the blood
That runs in your veins
How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I’m young
You might say I’m unlearned
But there’s one thing I know
Though I’m younger than you
Even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do
Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul
And I hope that you die
And your death’ll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I’ll watch while you’re lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I’ll stand o’er your grave
’Til I’m sure that you’re dead
