Reason #83: The Military-Industrial-Political Complex
Eisenhower originally intended to add the word “Congressional” to his “military industrial complex” phrase. He crossed the word out at the last minute, but he should have kept it. Congress and the rest of our political establishment are deeply ingrained in our role as World Boss.
Every year, our legislators happily allocate half a trillion dollars for “defense.” Hundreds of billions go straight into the pockets of giant weapons manufacturers like Lockheed-Martin and Raytheon-not to mention companies like Halliburton that feed and house our troops or firms like Bechtel and Kellogg, Brown and Root (KBR) that come in to rebuild the cities and countries we’ve destroyed. In turn, these corporate giants repay our lawmakers with huge campaign donations.
I’m not saying the private sector can’t have a role in national security. But our leaders used to understand the dangers of military fortune seekers.
Put simply, thanks to greedy career politicians, our military and the industries that supply and service it get the lion’s share of our tax revenue. Hundreds of billions of dollars that could go to healthcare, education, or saving Social Security, instead goes into the military-industrial complex’s always-open mouth.
I’m not saying the private sector can’t have a role in national security. But our leaders used to understand the dangers of military fortune seekers. Franklin Roosevelt denounced “war millionaires” during World War II, and his successor Harry Truman formed a committee to make sure defense firms stayed within their budgets. But all of that is out the window today. War profiteering is one of our biggest businesses now, and the companies benefiting the most are the ones with the closest ties to our politicians.
Hi Kids and Salutations to PATRIOTS :
The kids are the ABC groups like the CIA or Presidential and Vice Presidential Assasination forces, that under Dick Cheney’s direction would pop a foriegner with a 9 millimeter gun/with silencer.Guilty or not soldiers follow directions.
I also want to say high to the Fusion Center in Jeff.City, as it’s called in Missouri and someone who worked and works for former Republican Govenor, now Senator Fusion Center, Kit Bond. CMH. Hi CMH. How often do you get to Jeff City these days?How is the robbery business?
The Patriot Movement out of Jeff City names amoung others, Doctor Senator Ron Paul,Chuck Baldwin, Alex Jones and others in the Patriot Movement. What ever that means? They are part of Lets Observe the Constiution for Just One Day Movement.
If there ever was a Civil War again in the US. I do not support one at all to be clear. But I am a PATRIOT. Sadly CMH is not, just a lowly True Believer type, for a good paycheck. That the intellectual/ Longshoreman Eric Hofer wrote about when he was of Earth. Find his books. You will learn a lot about these dying Neocon dinosaurs.
I have news for you Fusion Center folk. We know who you are. We have infiltrated you before you had a name. We see you shopping and around town. We are light years ahead of you. Light years. Next meeting look to your right, left,speaker or leader. One in four, is one of us. Ha.Put that in your pipe and smoke it. You Fascist Neocons have pissed so many off. You have no clue who is your real brother,sister and go to guy is.You went over the line. You are rife with actors.
As an acedemic point. which of course this essay is?
Us troops 1.5million and half a million must stay abroad to project our power. Damn Russians and Chinese. And the incipiant HS lab in Germany will be of no avail.15% of the troops called will be AWOL at a minimum. If called to confront Americans.
Patriots own the truckers on the roads. How many fuel empty semi’s can an MRAP get through? Not many.
Guard over 80% will go with the 9th and 10th Amendment blowback from states and will side with their Govenors and contravene Federal Service orders.
Cops, 25% will not incarcerate Patriots or fire on them.
One million unmotovated, portfolio declining soldiers aganst a mass of over 200 million extremely motovated Americans. Raptor ain’ t gonna help.Nor the MRAP.
Ultimatly all you dirt bags will get voted out, because you know you cannot win on those odds and conditions as stated above. So En Garde, we meet in the voting booth and in the long run the old guard is dust.Vivia those 15-30years of age. Like those youngins we own in your Fusion Centers. They have no history. He,He.
Why don’t you go bowling?Give it up with some dignity. History as you all have studied well. Will roll over you like a 1,000 foot tsunami. Fascists always lose.
WILD AS EVER PATRIOT. BECAUSE I VOTE AND USE FREE SPEECH. DON’T LIKE VIOLENCE.
GOD PUT KILLING AS A NO NO IN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. I AM CHRISTIAN. I FOLLOW GODS WORDS–DON’T KILL—ORGANIZE AND VOTE.
PEACE AND KEEP IT LIT, WILDCAT
Oh yes the Political/Military/Industrial complex will be dust too!!

Howdy From The Heartland :
The Mexican Flu became born of life,not in a pig farm in Mexico as the MSM tells you. Despite the fermenting crap, pig parts and urine holding pits around industrial hog farms. That have their own particular lethality and morbidity. The flu did not begin there.
The Mexican Flu according to most scientific and medical publications and virologists, their puplications and reports, confirm that this virus was born very much inside a lab. The components of this flu simply do not occur in nature even as flukes. H1N1, has swine,bird and human flu gathered togther, whipped up in a centrafuge and placed under an electron microscope.Whereupon doctors,virologists and specialized technicians manipulate the genetic swill and turn it into a test biological Frankenstein.
Depending on who made it determines their agenda with it. A foriegn enemy of America could have sent it as a warning to our leaders as a push to backoff. In a particular Geopolitical battle. Fought by banks,Big Oil, Big Ag., shipping contracts or perhaps a battle over annexation of land.A look at what we can do to you message was sent to us.
Perhaps the Military–Industrial–Political Complex of our nation wanted to see, along with Homeland Security, how fast a real Bio–Weapon would spread and how the Eaters would react. Along with providing insidious groups a baseline for future events, of far greater mortality and morbidity and how it would affect the American Body Politic. At what point in an outbreak would Americans willingly shed their Constitutional Rights and welcome Martial Law to save them. Not being told, a rightfully worried nation that Martial Law and UN troops are going to stay on a permanant basis.
” Your gun, free speech, Habeaus Corpus and freedom of movment and alike in exchange for the vaccine that works. That’s right Buddy, just turn those things in and enroll your children in a goverment Stasi Camp and you all get a life–saving shot in your butt. In the arm would work better. But as we take control, we use your weakness and uncomfortable compliance to our benifit.Also to get you used to being herded and giving up your Birthrights as Americans.Sweet huh?”
Perhaps it was just a plain old test by our goverment to see how our healthcare and emergency systems would work under real fire from an enemy.
Maybe the Complex used this mild flu, primarilly as a warning to the Middle East, that if Pakistan falls to the Taliban and they end up with the nukes. This is what we will do to you with a weaponized flu.
You nuke the USA, Japan or the EU. We will Drop tiny bombs the size of a pencil about your nation with a weaponized, designer flu. It will kill nearly everyone in the Arab World and their kissing cousins. But we designed a one month life into the germ. So by the time it could reach the USA or EU or Japan in force, all under Martial Law. The flu will have self destructed and we will just happen to have found a cure from it We will lose a city or two and we will inherit all your land, oil and other natural resourses. Your lands will also become the worlds dump for nuclear and chemical waste.I like this idea!! Best design for a neutron bomb I have thought of yet.
As long as they (Who are They? I don’t know, but I know They is very powerful) shared in some degree the spoils with Russia, China and arch enemy India.Which would love to use Pakistan as a waste dump.Things would be just peachy.
The Mexican Flu gave the worlds premier intellegence agencies a lot of real time, real world data to study and play around with.A future and more virulant Mexican flu, with a high death rate and a quick burn rate would end the Illegal Alien problem. Our Stasi camp kids could then be forced into duty as cherry pickers.Part of their training to be good citizens.
Isn’t planning for mass selective death by real world experimentation fun. And you thought Bush was Genocidal. Trust me their are bigger more evil genocidal madmen to come. Right now they are busy and focused at stealing all your wealth and selling off American infrastructure. But your day will come.The Lord has promised that these days will come. But then He will come. Choose with your Maker. Good or Evil. One or the other. Make your Stand known.One nation under——? You fill in the blank. The choice is yours. The choice is ours.The good ones have work to do. Toot Sweet.
PEACE,
