Five Names, Every War: The System That Turns Taxpayer Money into Private Fortunes

Описание: Five American wars. Millions of deaths. And the same corporate lineages reappearing every time. This documentary follows a repeatable pattern hidden in public records: wars begin, contracts surge, costs overrun, and a small group of firms walk away wealthier long after the fighting ends. Why does conflict reliably create the same winners? And how does a system keep paying them, even when investigations find waste, overcharging, or monopoly behavior?

Stage One: Positioning before war. Capacity, relationships, and dependency are built in peacetime.
Stage Two: The first contract. Urgency suspends competition and no bid deals follow.
Stage Three: Cost plus pricing. Risk disappears and higher costs mean higher profits.
Stage Four: Budget overruns. Cancellation becomes politically impossible.
Stage Five: The revolving door. Retired officials become executives and the pipeline never breaks.
Stage Six: Influence. Lobbying and funded policy ecosystems make intervention easier to sell.
Stage Seven: Diversification. War profits become peacetime empires that outlive the battlefield.

We trace this mechanism through explosives, oil, war financing, military aviation, and logistics, then quantify documented contract value extracted from public funds, the scale of modern defense spending, and what those resources could have built instead.
