President Isenhower warned the American people about the Military Industrial Complex. They have already used a major event to drastically increase the government's defense spending. The MIC is turning America to imperialism by having a global military grip.
Is it not affecting us? Well let's see - the government borrows from the federal reserve, so the national debt has increased to 8.5 trillion dollar mark (an all time high). As a result, the money supply increased, lowering the US dollar value - and thus rise in inflation: for example, I remember paying $129 for 3-year alignment service for my car just last year - today that service is worth $209!!!
We are now a hated nation - which affects national security in a variety of ways.
We are a big war economy. Having a war plays a big part in the stability of our economy. This is BAD!!! Simply because we have an increasing dependency on the MIC.
We are not dying from bombs simply because the MIC likes to do pre-emptive strikes to justify safety - what do you think that does to our humanity!!!

The problem is that we are not directly feeling the effects of it. Everyone needs to pull their head out of the dirt, if we wait until it smacks us in the face it will be too late. The purpose is power and control.
