Military / Security

“Private security contracting is a booming industry.” Blackwater, the Wagner Group, and Executive Outcomes were/are well-known organizations.

As an example: “The China National Petroleum Corporation contracts with DeWe Security to safeguard its assets in…South Sudan.”

“The depletion of resources and violent disputes reinforce one another, forming a vicious cycle.”

Michael Klare wrote about the U.S. military perspective in his book, All Hell Breaking Loose.

Top leaders within the Department of Defense are concerned about:

• U.S. military installations being damaged by fires and floods
• increasingly more Humanitarian Assistance / Disaster Relief missions
• simultaneous multiple disasters
• “threat multiplier” problems: food, water, shelter, commerce, transportation, etc.
• global instability leading to civil wars or foreign invasions

While the US military makes plans to keep foreign oil accessible, climate refugees at bay, and its installations secure, they discharge mega-giant amounts of pollution:

• “The DOD is the world’s largest institutional user of petroleum.”

• The US Dept of Defense (DOD) emits “333,000,000 tons [of] pollutants per year.”

• The Pentagon does not acknowledge that its own fuel use is a major" problem.

The Penatgon “has also locked itself into hydrocarbon-based weapons systems for years to come.”

Who is supposed to protect God’s Green Earth from all that poison pollution?

Isn’t it time for a boycott?
