The F-35 is a case study in how the US maintains control over exported military hardware. Brent Eastwood writes in a March 2025 article for 1945 that rumors have persisted about a “kill switch” being installed in exported F-35s, which would act as a means to veto geopolitical behavior that is against its interests.

While the US F-35 Joint Program Office (JPO) states that no such kill switch exists, Stacey Pettyjohn warns in a March 2025 Breaking Defense article that the US could cut off maintenance networks, suspend spare parts shipments and stop critical software updates.

This scam is already being used in John Deere agriculture vehicles, whereby they shut down if they need maintenance so farmers can't repair them themselves. In Poodleville electrical equipment usually has unusual screw-heads so that they can't be opened. Apple was forced to comply with a "Right to Repair" campaign in the gangster-run, thieved prison-state of Amerika too. Passengers on airlines get hit with surpise additional fees. Restaurants, hotels and now just about any business in the gangster-run, thieved prison-state of Amerika requires tipping, sometimes placed on your bill where you have to ask for it to be removed.

And like all such gangster tactics, it drives customers away.

Under the administration of convicted war criminal, Tony Blair, we the taxsucker paid for Apache helicopters where there were no pilots in Poodleville trained to fly them and where the Great Satan refused to supply the s**tware too. The Great Satan also reneged on a $21bn agreement to purchase Rolls-Royce engines.

Several years ago, the Great Satan berated Taiwan for not spending more than 2% of GDP on arms. It also claimed Occupied Korea was begging for a surveilance drone. But Wikileaks revealed that they were berating Occupied Korea to buy them.

As ever, the Great Satan's mini-me adopts the same policies; in this case perpetual war-profiteering: "UK Shifts War Footing To ‘Always-On’ Munitions Production".

Regional analyst and commenter on China affairs Arnaud Bertrand had this reaction to Hegseth's speech in Shanghai:

This was easily one of the most unhinged and fear-mongering speeches by a Pentagon chief in Asia ever, with relents of the worst times of the Cold War. Funnily enough, Hegseth started his speech by saying that "for a generation, the United States ignored this region" because they were "distracted by open-ended wars, regime change, and nation building" elsewhere. Good start to the speech. 
. . .
Bertrand concludes, "Peak American exceptionalism... Anyhow, all this would be funny if it wasn't so fundamentally disgusting: at heart this is the US determined to prevent China, the only great power to ever reach this status peacefully, from continuing to modernize and develop itself - because in their zero-sum view of the world the very idea that 1.4 billion people might achieve prosperity without American dominance is apparently intolerable."

In other words, war criminal, Hegseth, is shouting from the rooftops to the military/Industrial complex that he's doing his job as their shill.

War criminal, Hegseth's predecessors have also been overwhelmingly from the military/industrial complex, sometimes having been their lobbyist.

Jim Mattis: General Dynamics

Despite DOGE reducing the squandering by $175bn, war criminal, The Donald, has followed war criminal, "Genocide Joe" Biden, by squandering like a drunken sailor announcing the first $1trn attack squandering budget (though some say $1.3Trn was already hidden in other departments in previous years).

The poodle-state has also increased attack-squandering, with the war that Victoria "F**k the EU" Nuland started in Ukraine requiring a HUGE re-stocking and despite any war or enemy having been announced as yet, though again China is a main candidate for their threats.

To offset the now inevitable hyperinflation, they will almost certainly reduce the credit supply by letting small banks fail.

I also asked her why even those wealthy families couldn’t send their children back to school after the banks reopened. And the answer she gave me was this: only Federal Reserve banks and banks selected by the Federal Reserve were allowed to reopen. People with money in banks that weren’t allowed to reopen lost everything. However, their debts weren’t canceled. They were assumed by other banks. That is, they take away all your savings, all your property, and leave you with debts.

Only those banks selected by the Federal Reserve were able to reopen, while the rest collapsed. The wealthy families who had accounts in those banks lost everything, but their debts remained intact. These debts were absorbed by the surviving banks, which then foreclosed and seized property en masse.

This strategy not only allowed the banks to consolidate, but also transformed the former owners into perpetual tenants. It was a massive upward transfer of wealth, disguised under the guise of “stabilizing the economy.” Today, according to Webb, we are witnessing a repeat of this pattern, but amplified on a global scale.” (Something we have discussed in other articles on this Substack.)

The Gold Prohibition and the Birth of Absolute Control

Seemingly, the entire American public was now the enemy. One of the most revealing episodes mentioned in the book is the gold ban in the United States during the 1930s. At that time, any citizen who owned gold was considered a criminal. The gold had to be turned over to the Federal Reserve, and those who violated this order faced fines or imprisonment.

So whilst the banksters get bailed-out, the sheeple get bailed-in. This has most happened recently in Greece.

It's happened before and it will happen again and again and again.

By accusing China, the Great Satan hopes to hold her back.

This also justifies more attack-squandering.

It's also a distraction from the Great Satan's quackonomy which is clearly as Paul Craig-Roberts said, on the precipice of collapse.

This is why all the Great Satan's statistics are lies and why the anglo/jew propaganda claims China's statistics are lies. But China has no need to lie. It's not China which started both World Wars to impose jew-confetti on the planet in an inherently fraudulent scheme where only the Great Satan (and at Genoa the poodle) can print the jew-confetti out of thin-air. It's not China which is so bankrupt, insolvent and desperate that she's robbing her own sheeple on the highways with "civil asset forfeiture" or her own businesses with the "structured deposit" law. It's not China that sabotaged the Nordstream pipelines to sell Lucifer Natural Gas to EU vassals at an extortionate three times Great Satan industry is paying. It's not China which thieved FX reserves, oil and gold from Russia, Afghanistan, Syria, Venezuela, Ukraine and Libya.

Great Satan deficits are already at all time highs for the first five months. Yet the debt2GDP, you're supposed to believe has plateaued and magically been revised lower. Great Satan GDP is MUCH higher than you would calculate using annual growth rates against earlier reports of GDP. I've just downloaded graphs and statistical data on Great Satan GDP and none of it bears any resemblence to reality. But then, the GDP statistic is ITSELF, inherently fraudulent as it's not a measure of productivity at all. Interest payments on the debt have also magically been revised lower, which can only be achieved using a magic/space time-masheen or a criminal enquiry into where the cash went.

SCUM!
