I think the more dangerous apparatus operating within our government is the military-industrial complex which is very strong here. Billions go out to "defense contractors" every year, and their profits rely on a state of continual war and making sure we always have an enemy. I call it the state within a state, the National Security Government, which operates in secret, and is active on a massive global scale. Since the 1950's, how many countries have had their governments taken down or directly threatened by the CIA? Iran, Nicaragua, Cuba (8 assassination attempts on Castro & the Bay of Pigs), Brazil, Chile, Egypt, Guatemala...There have been tens of thousands of covert operations over the decades, operations which we the people, will never know about, but yet, they are carried out in our name, in the name of our national security. I challenge any of you authoritarian followers to tell me Iran's nationalization of their oil sector threatened our national security. Or that Guatemala's attempted nationalization of its resources was also a threat to our national security...I'm all ears... |
Okay, and where does the money come from that supports our perpetual wars and our 700+ military bases in 130 different countries?
Think, buddy. Think!
I could easily manifest a video clip of Ron Paul saying it if you need some more clues.
