The devil's dynamo : Comments

By John Avery, published 5/4/2018

A military-industrial complex involves a circular flow of money. The money flows like the electrical current in a dynamo, driving a diabolical machine.

Having read the article I'm certainly not going to bother with the book. His comparisons between colonial times and present-day power plays says more about Avery's extreme interpretations than it says about events. He is best ignored.

A new global commitment only as good as those who genuinely commit to it! XXX And not helped by swaggering narcissists with a planet destroying nuclear arsenal at their fingertips; and resolved to up the production of terrible mass murdering military machines. XXX Along with mindless isolationism and a withdrawal from the field etc./etc.! XXX Alan B.

As the Beatles' John Lenin wrote during the 1917 Revolution, "C'mon

All WE Are Saying is give War A Chance.

War produces or speeds up so many beneficial technologies such as development:

- and mass production of Penicillin (WWII, 1940) [1]

- of sturdy reliable Aircraft (WWI and WWII)

- mature Jet and Rocket Engines (zie Germans WWII)

and lately reliable, mass produced Prothetic Limbs, mainly due to wars in the Middle East, 1990 onwards.
