Editor's note: ..."defense" contractors (war contractors) are not running the US economy, President Trump has signaled support for Ukraine conducting long range strikes inside Russian territory while also backing a plan to license Ukrainian production of Patriot missile interceptors manufactured by the United States of Lockheed Martin and RTX Corporation. The move marks a significant shift toward expanding Ukraine's military capabilities. If implemented, the policy would represent another escalation in US military support for Kyiv and will further heighten tensions between Washington and Moscow as the war enters a more dangerous phase. A "more dangerous phase" is a selling point for Lockheed Martin. Also keep in mind something extremely important when it comes to the psychopaths making all these decisions within these corporate networks: the "Persistent Predatory Personality," are highly manipulative and psychopathic individuals (they are the "real monsters") who often rise to positions of authority by masking their true nature behind charisma, competence, and social respectability while exploiting others for power and control. What we are witnessing here is in our faces raw open commercial warfare over resources and these weapon manufactures and the Pentagon are not America.

Five outrageous ways defense contractors have buttered up Trump

The weapons industry loves greasing the skids with gifts. This administration is no exception.

By Stavroula Pabst | July 9, 2026

From a new helipad to a UFC fight on White House grounds, President Trump's personal projects have been front-and-center in American politics this summer. Defense contractors that do business with the administration have often supported them. [Editor's note: "Projects"? For what entities and why?]

But the weapons industry has long leveraged flashy gifts and sponsorships to engender influence among politicians, key institutions, and the public. Here are 5 notable cases when it comes to the Trump White House:

Sikorsky foots bill for White House helipad

Sikorsky, a subsidiary of Lockheed Martin, will pay about $5 million for a granite helipad now under construction on the White House South Lawn.

As Trump told reporters Monday, Sikorsky will pay for the helipad because its helicopters, which he uses for brief trips, have ripped up and burned grass around the White House. The president hopes to have the helipad ready for an upcoming visit from Chinese President Xi Jinping in September.

Sikorsky received nearly $5 billion in federal contracts last year. Lockheed Martin reported it made $75 billion over the same time frame, making it the largest defense contractor in the U.S. by a wide margin. [Editor's note: Yes, therefore the United States of Lockheed Martin.]

Lockheed Martin told NOTUS its decision to pay for the helipad was "guided by rigorous ethics and compliance standards." 

Freedom 250: Brought to you by the weapons industry

Many of the nation's recent 250th anniversary events were also underwritten by weapons contractors. Four of the five giant defense "primes" — namely, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and RTX — sponsored Freedom 250, a Trump administration-backed non-profit which organized holiday festivities in DC this weekend. Those firms make hundreds of billions of dollars in DoD contracts each year. Anduril and Palantir, venture capital-backed defense tech firms that increasingly function as industry heavyweights, also sponsored Freedom 250. [Editor's note: US military Lockheed Martin F35 aircraft flybys at professional sporting events in their crudest expression is fascism disguised as "patriotism."]

Freedom 250's events ran as a counter to events managed by America250, a nonpartisan group Congress created in 2016 to organize the anniversary celebration. Freedom 250 also hosted the White House UFC fight last month, which doubled as Trump's 80th birthday celebration.

"If you're not donating to [Trump's] pet projects, you risk being on the outside looking in as he attempts to surge Pentagon spending," Ben Freeman, the director of the Quincy Institute's Democratizing Foreign Policy program, told RS. Earlier this year, the White House submitted a record $1.5 trillion defense budget request for FY 2027.

"Most contractors aren't willing to take that risk, so they play Trump's game and hope it translates into big Pentagon contracts," Freeman said. "It's great for Trump and all the DC insiders, but sucks for taxpayers who are left footing the bill." [Editor's note: It "sucks" alright, so does the downstream inflation.]

Clarification: Whatever the "deep state" (first defined by Prof. Peter Dale Scott) is, or what has been described as the "breakaway civilization", or what "disclosure" is all about, the world is being run by an underlying superstructure with no transparency very few people can accurately define or come to terms with. The world we think we live in, or the reality we are participating in, is not of our own making. The only way the world can be pounded into a "one-world government" is by continued weapons production, force, hard core psychological warfare to alter our reality and the application of continued violence. This is the reality of the central bank predatory dynamics predicated on a debt-based money creation model. The corporations outlined in this post are not "America." These corporations are the "breakaway civilization" or the "deep state" running a parallel system of finance to finance their operations. The US government and the 535 US senators and congressional members are meaningless and serve no purpose for the American people at this point. Very few people have any idea what these corporations are actually working towards. Is this a fatalistic attitude? It is the reality we are confronted with. In one sense, what we have is an arsonist in the White House and he is burning down the world but for who exactly? There is no other way:

The Deep State is Trying to Consolidate the Entire World into a One-World Government. Dr. Meryl Nass

There is no negotiating or coming to terms with or coming to an agreement with the "underlying superstructure entity" (this entity does not negotiate) that was just outlined in the above clarification:

"AGREEMENT INCAPABLE”: Very Scary for US and the World-at-large

When it comes to extracting resources and controlling those resources it obviously will require a lot of people to get killed and related infrastructure being destroyed:

How the Global Economy Became the World's Most Dangerous Battlefield

If this news is true it would appear the US is locked into a permanent state of global commercial warfare for economic and financial domination. Step back for a moment to consider the amount of resources that are being burned through to sustain this level of commercial warfare?

US Cruise Missile Strike Hits Strategic Rail Bridge in Northern Iran Used for Trade With China and Russia

For the US under Trump money talks baby, interfere in this process and you will instantly become a US target:

NATO vassals buy Trump 'unity' with $160 billion bribe

Well of course, that's the entire point. The killing, destruction and fighting are going on five years now and there is no end in sight:

Responding To Trump, Kremlin Says Ukraine’s Long-Range Drone Attacks Will Likely Prolong War

Even Canada wants a piece of the action:

Canada's Growing Aerospace and Defense Sector

If this news is true then General Atomics are lusting after ever more profits to build more MQ-9 Reaper drones to replace these:

Iran has shot down 30 US Reaper drones, US official says

How can this be rationally explained other than the entire country of America has gone completely pathological in their obsession with guns?

'We will never use them': the California universities stockpiling AR-15s, grenades and submachine guns 

These "defense" contractors (war contractors) get first dibs on all newly created Federal Reserve Notes while the rest of America gets slammed with inflation. In this debt-based predatory system it isn't hard to imagine this isn't occurring while the Pentagon gets awarded $1.5 trillion in its FY 2027 budget. If you haven't figured it out yet their is something hideously wrong here:
