President Obama Held Hostage By Military Industrial Complex

President Dwight D. Eisenhower, in his 1961 speech to Congress warned, in part:

*
“In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial 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.”

*
President Eisenhower’s forewarning was not heeded. Today, we have the clearest evidence yet, that the United States Military Industrial Complex, something totally different and separate from the U.S. Military itself, has the ability to take the reins of our government and guide our land in whichever direction they see fit.

*
President Barrack Obama, was a man on a real mission. And everyone who attached themselves to him believed in that mission. The plan was extraordinary. Become President of the United States of America. The goal was ostensibly simple: change the nature and direction of America so it would be a country that supported the average little guy. The wealthy would no longer be catered to.

*
In retrospect, it is clear that President Obama was naive. He actually believed that if the common American was inspired to move him into office that he would be able to change America. Rightly or wrongly, reality has slapped him in the face.

*
What is the Military Industrial Complex?

*
Simply put, it is an American industry that designs and builds then sales weapons that can be used to defend a countrywide or attack and kill other people. Having a military industrial complex in and of itself is not an evil, it is the nature of it that determines its benefits or detrimental effects.

*
President Eisenhower did something extraordinary. He snitched on the Elite power brokers of the day.

*
A military necessarily will be under the control of either the elites of the left or the right. Normally, it is never under the control of the common people. This is why most military organizations will enter into citizens streets and gun them down on the command of those in political office. Of course we Americans believe that our military is different from all others, but they would follow such orders just as any African, Asian or European military when called to do so. So when Eisenhower, ostensibly a member of the 20th Century American Elite used his Public address that clearly warned of our military complex, he exercised a conscientiousness that few Presidents exercise.

*
What Eisenhower knew was from first hand experience. The daily pressures he received from non-military men did all they could to influence his policies so as to commit the United States to war. You see, just as any company with products likes to conduct research and development in the real world market, those who manufactures weapons, believe that they must have real world laboratories to experiment and develop weapons.

*
War is their laboratory of choice.

*
Fast forward to 21st Century.

Barrack Obama did not understand the depth and power of the Military Complex. He of course did not really understand the power of the Banking/Financial Complex as well. But for our purposes here, he actually believed, as most Americans, that the President of the United States was in fact the nation’s Commander and Chief. He cannot be blamed for believing this, he was not part of the Elite until now. President Barrack Obama is not really the United States Commander and Chief.  But there is no doubt in his mind now that he is not the U.S. Chief and Commander, but those who own, run and operate our Military Industrial Complex is the actual Chief.
Of course Libya is only the latest in their efforts. Bottom line. U.S. Presidents do not command our military, but behind-the-scene, unelected military industrial men do. They are constantly planning our next war. They not only get to test and develop new weaponry, but they get to play chest on a scale as demigods. Hence, they are driven by the power of deciding life and death.

*
Mainstream media focuses on superficial questions like whether we have enough personnel to distribute in so many conflicts. That should not be the question. One needs to honestly ask: Why does the U.S. always have to be involved in wars? Particularly since these wars create more hostility towards Americans. Who is really benefiting.

*
Americans are really no different than other people. We have more “educated” citizens then most countries, yet we accept the dictates of our leaders just as naively, or stupidly, as third world citizens. In other words, our leaders are able to dupe us just as others throughout the world are, and we will do little or nothing more than complain among a few friends.

*

Although we may sit and do nothing, I believe that it is more healthy to know reality and do nothing right then and there, than it is to not know something while it does something to us. Eisenhower called the Military Complex a real danger, and one has no chance if they do not know, or they ignore dangers.
