Who manipulates wars of history according to Les?
The super, super rich—the wealthy people of this world—manipulate the wars of history. They finance both sides of a war, care only about profits from war materiel like machine guns, jets, and tanks, and drive defense economies, even America's.
Les teaches that while people often assume wars arise solely from patriotism and a willingness to defend freedoms, a closer analysis shows that many wars of history were manipulated. He identifies the manipulators as the super, super rich—wealthy people who finance both sides of a war and care nothing for human misery. Their motive is profit from war materiel: machine guns, jets, and tanks. Les says this reality underlies most world economies, even America’s, where defense contractors are the backbone. He cites Czechoslovakia, which was told to stop war production but replied it could not because it was the backbone of its economy. He clarifies he is not against defense spending or being prepared.
