“Slaughter Central: The
United States as a Mass-Killing Machine.”
BY TOM ENGELHARDT,

By
the time you read this piece, it will already be out of date. The reason's
simple enough. No matter what mayhem I describe, with so much all-American
weaponry in this world of ours, there's no way to keep up. Often, despite the
headlines that go with mass killings here, there's almost no way even to know.
On
this planet of ours, America is the emperor of weaponry, even if in ways we
normally tend not to put together. There's really no question about it. The
all-American powers-that-be and the arms makers that go with them dream up,
produce, and sell weaponry, domestically and internationally, in an unmatched
fashion. You'll undoubtedly be shocked, shocked to learn that the top five arms makers on
the planet -- Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, and General
Dynamics -- are all located in
the United States.
