Here's how it works:
1) Give the military inordinant power and influence
Include intelligence agency control of the media
Include political regime that supports secrecy, weapons
contracts and military threats for petrodollars
2) That military-industrial complex, as famously noted
by Eisenhower (who knew a thing or two about both
the Presidency and the military) will then by its
nature assume more and more control over every aspect
of its funding and self-perpetuation.
It is just a fact of large military bureacracies.
3) With a uniquely large event, such the 9/11 attack on the
American people, you can then swing into action all of
plans that have been on the shelf for decades, up to
and perhaps including martial law. But certainly,
including tapping all resources of our vast country
pointed to military and supportive industries.
4) In this case, those supportive industries include vast
energy contracts, by, of and for middlemen who
influence government, and are called, laughingly
"public servants"
The "service" the public gets from all this to paraphrase Will Rogers, is what his bull did with the cows.
JFK was another president who wanted to do away with the DOD/intel agencies' stranglehold on the government and population.
Bush/Reagan/Bush, on the other hand, will, as Nixon said "do anything for us", meaning the DOD/intel/business cartel who feel they have the right to control the country in spite of the American people.
I'm afraid Nixon was right about that. |
