Eric Zuesse – How Each US Senator Voted on Continuing America’s Two Wars or Not

How Each US Senator Voted on Continuing America’s Two Wars or Not

The US Senate’s Official Calendar of Business for the entire date of 12 February 2024 showed nothing pertaining to the ‘‘Emergency National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024.”

On February 12th, the Senate first passed by a 66 to 33 vote a “Motion to Waive All Applicable Budgetary Discipline” in order to ram through $ 95 Billion in added spending for America’s two Wars in Ukraine, $ 60 Billion, and Gaza, $ 14 Billion and to create a War between China versus its Province of Taiwan, $ 8 Billion, plus others such as Yemen et cetera.

Second, the Senate passed by 66 to 33 an Amendment, “On the Nature of A Substitute”, to replace an existing HR 815 bill for US veterans, by this much costlier $ 95 Billion bill for America’s ‘Defense’ contractors and related US international corporations.

Third, the Senate passed by 66 to 33 a “Cloture” on the original HR 815 bill for veterans, so that That matter can be dealt with at some future time, and under a different number.

Then, fourth, the Senate passed by 70 to 29, “HR 815, as Amended, A Bill to Amend Title 38, United States Code, to Make Certain Improvements Relating to the Eligibility of Veterans to Receive Reimbursement for Emergency Treatment Furnished through the Veterans Community Care Program, and for Other Purposes, HR 815

What that actually Meant was that they turned the veterans’ bill Into the far costlier Military Industrial Complex or “MIC” bill, to extend and create more Wars for America’s investors to profit from, especially by pumping America’s armaments manufaturers, who get around 50% of the Pentagon’s total spending, now retitled and rewritten as Emergency National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024’’, the bill that America’s members of Congress actually care far more about and are lobbied far more to pass into law, than any other federal expenditure.

Here is how the Senate’s activities for February 12th looked on the Senate’s official,

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to US and allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘News’ media but the social ‘Sciences’, duping the public.
