Military Industrial Complex--New Book and Video Report

Democracy Now! really gathered a scoop by reporting on Bill Hartung's book about the Military Industrial Complex. The corporate welfare going to Lockheed Martin is the big shocker. They benefited from enormous largess from Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II, and now Obama. There's plenty of guilt here for both parties. Don't miss this great report!

Hartung talks about how we need a heroic president who will curtail defense spending. Even after reporting on this topic, he doesn't realize this is the quintessential story about how the Powers That Be rig government behind the scenes to reap enormous profits. NO president is going to do anything about this because the presidents are puppets of these Powers and corporations like LM. Hartung's idealistic naiveté comes as a surprise, especially after his investigations into how companies like LM infiltrate and use the government for their own purposes. You'd think he would know better.

No president is going to do anything because no one would be allowed to become president if there were any chance that they would stray from business as usual.  I imagine they refined the vetting process so that they would not have to murder any more presidents.

The left thinking that Obama would be any different is no different than the right thinking that GW was something special, just for them.  I said very early on to watch and see if Obama would end the madness and leave Afghanistan.  That's what others like Kucinich would have done, but that's why Kucinich is not president of the US.

Obama, like most democratic presidents, is much smoother than republican presidents, but his lips are so obviously and blatantly pressed tightly against Wall Street's back side.  And the military industrial complex shot a few warning shots across the bow to keep him towing the party line, one party line, the military industrial corporatocracy party.

The two party system is a sham to keep the lemmings busy being busy...

Anyone fooled by Obama is no different than those fooled by GW

Same shit, different day....

with both of you. The fascists control the whole game IMO. The illusions of choice are blatantly false. And, Democracy Now is a great show, as far as it goes.

In The Law of One, it was stated that shortly before the transition to fourth density, it looked like there would be a brief period of global fascism...I guess we can expect to transition fairly soon.

 Hey Guys! I totally agree with all of you and the only thing that keeps me going is I believe in the power of prayer . People radiating a peaceful,loving energy through prayer, meditation and in their daily contact with other people can offset, or balance, hundreds of negative people. The positive energy expressed in these entries , that we are not alone, that others are aware, makes me feel better.

The ascension is well under way and things are going to really get interesting!
