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

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

(I wish more people would have listened, I was too young......wait a minute, that was 10 years before I was born -amigo)

I have of late, but wherefore i know not, lost all my mirth . . .

.........forgone all custom of exercises;
and indeed, it goes so heavily with
my disposition that this goodly frame,
the earth, seems to me a sterile promontory;

It would be easier to subjugate the entire universe through force than the minds of a single village.

~Voltaire

Voltaire wasn't surrounded by the Americans of 2000 or he would be more like Henry Miller.

"I have never been able to look upon America as young and vital but rather as prematurely old, as a fruit which rotted before it had a chance to ripen."
-Henry Miller

"I see America spreading disaster. I see America as a black curse upon the world. I see a long night settling in and that mushroom which has poisoned the world withering at the roots."
-Henry Miller

Terri Jones lost her son Jason Cooper just over a year ago.

He was an Army Reservist in the Iraq War.

On July 14, 2005, four months after returning home to Iowa, he hanged himself.

He was 23.

Since then, Jones has been flying her American flag upside down, though someone came on her property once and turned it right side up, and another person stole it.


Jones also told Jennifer Jacobs of the Des Moines Register of one haunting memory he had about an insurgent who executed an Iraqi child in full view of Cooper and other members of his unit.

That's the kind of scum we are trying to stop over there.

McG: We aren't doing it very well are we?

I'm sorry to say that it appears that Mr McG has not noticed that the coalition are not fighting insurgents; the fighting is between the Sunnis and the Shiites and the coalition forces just happen to be in the wrong place at the right time. This is called "civil war" Perhaps if Mr McG read Judge Woppners treatise on mid-east warfare Mr McG would understand the full value of proposing **** like
"That's the kind of scum we are trying to stop over there"
