Subsunk out.

Mike Thomson investigates why so little is known about this biggest ever peacetime threat to American democracy.

And I would add just remember the last speech as President from a five star General it gives all the justification needed to not trust the powers that be

Military-Industrial Complex Speech, Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1961

Public Papers of the Presidents, Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1960, p. 1035- 1040

My fellow Americans:

Three days from now, after half a century in the service of our country, I shall lay down the responsibilities of office as, in traditional and solemn ceremony, the authority of the Presidency is vested in my successor.

This evening I come to you with a message of leave-taking and farewell, and to share a few final thoughts with you, my countrymen.

Like every other citizen, I wish the new President, and all who will labor with him, Godspeed. I pray that the coming years will be blessed with peace and prosperity for all.

Our people expect their President and the Congress to find essential agreement on issues of great moment, the wise resolution of which will better shape the future of the Nation.

My own relations with the Congress, which began on a remote and tenuous basis when, long ago, a member of the Senate appointed me to West Point, have since ranged to the intimate during the war and immediate post-war period, and, finally, to the mutually interdependent during these past eight years.

In this final relationship, the Congress and the Administration have, on most vital issues, cooperated well, to serve the national good rather than mere partisanship, and so have assured that the business of the Nation should go forward. So, my official relationship with the Congress ends in a feeling, on my part, of gratitude that we have been able to do so much together.

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the militaryindustrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.

Akin to, and largely responsible for the sweeping changes in our industrial-military posture, has been the technological revolution during recent decades.

I would also suggest that you view the movie Why We Fight
a trailer is available here and it is for rent at Blockbuster and other video stores

You will hear his children say he wanted to say more in that speech but was cautious. Also look into the fact that he was kept from stopping the arms race with the Soviet Union by the U2 Incident after he directed the intelligence assets to stop those overflights to start a process of peacemaking with Khrushchev but his efforts failed due to rouge elements in the government he could not control look it up and you might have a Smedley Butler moment too! Have you ever been to Camp Butler in Okinawa? I used to shop at the AAFES main exchange their last century he was a true leader not a wannabe like the guy in the white house who could not even finish a mere six years with the TXANG. On a side note isn’t it funny that they have AAFES at Marine Corps base? Do some research and you too can be a Patriot like the person that blew the whistle to the military times about the B52 screwup or we probably never would have heard about it.

To beg the question of whether these ACMs were somehow intended to be transported from Minot to Barksdale and then beamed over to Tehran is, however, to take leave of one’s senses. Especially since it was the Air Force itself who detected this buffoonery and placed themselves on report for it.

As for the rest of your comment, I’ll refer you to the title of this post and thank you for providing a demonstration. We even got the Carlyle Group and Nazi Germany.

Here’s your sign.

Also please note we just received a new Bin Laden Tape please note the tape makes a few interesting things first off they blackened his beard to make the tape look newer than previous ones. Second notice he talks about a lot of things then when he mentions the latest news to prove the timeliness of the tape the picture freezes? and lastly we are told by the MSM CNN FauxNews etc that the tape is genuine! It looks like someone pulled and old tape of him and redid it then put in words over the frozen parts to link him to Democratic policies. Use your brains This looks like a setup to support the Bush Endless War on terror Which makes huge profits for his family see Carlye Group headed by George H W Bush they have big investnements in defense industries that have been making a killing since the start of the war on terror. Also do a Google search and read up on Gen Smedley Butler two time CMOH winner and see who he says runs the show also note the BBC did a show on how Prescott Bush tried to overthrow FDR in the 1930′s seems our president’s family has a lot of dealings with those who profit from war making including working with the Nazis even after war was declared in the 40′s.

I did twenty years defending this country and did some work I can not talk about I know that it is impossible to just accidentally load a Nuke on a B52 to many safe guards in place to allow that to happen unless the caliber of personnel in the Air Force is now run by people like the C Avg president who quit the NG in the middle of his term. Lastly what happened to PRP did they throw that out the window along with our moral authority the Bill of Rights and the Geneva Conventions! I have seen a lot of posts on liberal sites that describe the impossibility of the B52 incident and these are by Democratic servicemen who actually served their country and know what they are talking about as far as security is concerned. see http://www.thepriceofliberty.org/07/09/03/may.htm

The last thing we need right now is another war in the Middle east yet the same people that gave us Iraq are now giving us the same excuses to invade or just nuke Iran!
