US Democratic Presidential Candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.‘s foreign policy speech became the center of discussion in the new episode of The Deep Probe in relation to the “Peace Speech” of his uncle former US President John F. Kennedy.
In this episode, Pastor Apollo C. Quiboloy together with the SMNI panel of experts and anchors demonstrated America’s bloody history in fighting different countries or the so-called ‘forever war’.
The said panel of experts comprises Atty. Harry Roque, Former Presidential Spokesperson, Dr. Lorraine Badoy, Former NTF-ELCAC Spokesperson, and Jeffrey Ka Eric Celiz, Former CPP-NPA cadre.
America uses war to boost the economy
Atty. Roque emphasized that America uses its military-industrial complex to boost its economy.
“War produces a lot of money. So at every opportunity, these people who get rich from war, they escalate the conflict. Now, these small islands were claimed in the West Philippine Sea but all they (U.S.) want is war,” Atty. Harry Roque, Former Presidential Spokesperson.
According to a part of Robert Kennedy’s speech, the U.S. Former Pres. Eisenhower already warned that its military-industrial complex could destroy the country’s democracy.
“We’ve gone on the path of a military-industrial complex which presents Eisenhower had warned, he warned that if America did not take great pains to avoid, it the emerging military-industrial complex would devour our democracy,” Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Democratic Presidential Candidate said.
Based on the list published by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute in 2020, five of the top arms manufacturers and military service companies are from the United States including Lockheed Martin, Raytheon Technologies, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, and General Dynamics Corp.
“This military-industrial complex is the response to economic decay in the US. It seems that it has become their economic development strategy, our economy in America doesn’t matter or their country, because no matter what happens there, we will make money if there is a war. So that’s their substitute for genuine economic development in America.”
“So instead of spending their funds from the public treasury to have a more vibrant economy in America, they focus on the war because after all, the sales to the government alone is 1 trillion dollars and maybe to the whole world, that will reach 5-10 trillion dollars.”
“The basis of war policy is the industrial complex where almost 60% of America’s economy in the last decade is based on the production of war armaments and war Armageddon that they use to wage war,” Atty. Harry Roque, Former Presidential Spokesperson | SMNI Anchor, Pulso ng Bayan.
According to Pastor Apollo, the war happening now in Ukraine is an example of strengthening the arms economy.
“Just like what Atty. Roque earlier said, their focus, their economy is warcraft, it’s all about war. In Ukraine alone, they are fording 100 billion dollars, not to mention the weapons that have all been sent there. And now Zelenskyy is angry because the arms supply is still lacking and President Biden is disappointed in what he said, so that’s what we see. The Americans have lost their creativity because they no longer have JGP on their currency. While China has all the creativity, they have overtaken [the U.S.] because what matters with them is business. Theirs is trade, they called it shared development,” Pastor Apollo C. Quiboloy, The Kingdom of Jesus Christ said.
According to Atty. Harry Roque, there is already a proxy war here in Asia in which the country is included because of the disputed territories and Taiwan because of the one country, two system policy that China is implementing there.
Roque stressed that the Americans only use the term freedom of navigation to interfere with territorial issues.
“You know here in our country, there is also a proxy war. What they are staging is that the Philippines and China are fighting. Because the Americans don’t believe in our title to the contested islands. They always say, we don’t interfere in the contested island. Their interest is the freedom of navigation.”
“But what they say is, we will help Philippines when you are attacked because freedom of navigation is important to us. So that means, because we don’t have the ability to stand up and fight against China, another proxy war is happening in our own country. But the truth is, America will fight against China because it doesn’t want what it sees, that China is might be richer and stronger than him.”
“And another proxy war is the issue of Taiwan. In Taiwan, if you ask the people there, in the survey, almost all Taiwanese will say we have no problem with the status quo. The only one who says that we will defend Taiwan is America, which is a stranger to Taiwan. So another proxy war will happen there. It’s not Taiwan against China, it’s the US against China.”
“Filipinos will probably not kill themselves because of rocks and fish, but America says, “this is the next flash point for conflict,” Roque added.
In addition to this, Roque said that the trouble between neighboring countries in Asia is also caused by colonialism or the conquest of foreigners in different countries in the region.
“The conflict started because of colonialism, because of the arrival of white people in our area here in Asia,” Roque said.
Meanwhile, according to Dr. Lorraine Badoy, the United States doesn’t seem to be thinking because they are starting a war but can’t even solve their local problems like drug addiction and gun violence.What a complex is in the psychological sense, the complex is unthinking. It’s like a mob mentality, you don’t think because you’re America, you fight like that, you maneuver halfway around the world and yet your own people are dying from drug addictions, all sorts of things, all the shootings—mass shootings. Then there’s something wrong. You’re not even looking inside yourself anymore. You’re starting wars halfway around the world and in fact, aggressive wars. Wars that are not even fought in self-defense,” Dr. Lorraine Badoy, Former NTF-ELCAC Spokesperson said.
Moreover what is happening now in some Asian countries is similar to the events in Ukraine that according to The Deep Probe panel of experts could stage a nuclear war.
