The government deficit and debts had to be kept as low as possible, which is why spending had to be reduced on everything. Overnight there seems to be money indeed and they appear to have found gigantic money pots. Today they spend billions of euros as if they were handing out candy. A government deficit that is more than three times the 3 percent Maastricht standards or a debt ratio way above 100 percent of the GDP, all of a sudden it is all possible.

It demand’s a nuclear arms space race and more nuclear weapons, to perpetuate space technology The nuclear war-mongers demand it, as well as, More nuclear reactors. Progress marching on! More Money, Money, money for the Politicians, The Military-Industrial Complex. Nasa, space conquest! Killer satellites under the fake-benevolent umbrella of colonizing the barren cosmic ray, infested Mars.
The drum’s beats, go on.
