Who is shaking the jar?

Excellent question.  

divide and conquer.   

If a government (ruled by the elite) sets the minimum wage at a certain amount and the newsrooms that are also owned by the elite, send out messages of “world is coming to an end” “high unemployment “ etc., then the citizens will not complain about the low minimum wage. Therefore, more profit to the elite.  

I think my example is very simple but the point is, we the common people are kept “in the dark” given the bare minimum information, and we cannot make proper decisions, the results constant chaos.   

Who is shaking the jar? 

Greed is.   

Particularly:

Governments, 

elite (top 1% that own almost everything), 

banks,

large corporations (that hide sales to not pay taxes), 

the above named have no empathy for the common people and we fight each other.   

War, What Is It Good For?

War! What is it good for? 

'War! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing!' --- Edwin Starr

I'd like to ask a question and answer it, with a 'slight' sarcasm, to support the above quote.  

Question. 

What is war?

Answer: 

War is a conflict situation, where nations or opposing parties carry on a 'force of arms', to resolve a bitter situation.   A situation which can be resolved through true and open discussion, without harming citizens.  

It is very sad that our leaders still resort to such violence as war to end disputes.
