Shortly after the turn of the new Millenia, a book titled The Pentagon’s New Map, was published. Not exactly a smash hit, it proposed a national role change for the military after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
(The author was a policy wonk working for the G.W.Bush Administration.)
Frankly, it read like propaganda for the New World Order. International corporations were increasingly being established and would need global military protection. The proposal involved sending the sons and daughters of American workers overseas to fight and die in order to protect the companies which would replace American workers with foreigners.
The military-industrial complex established during WWII at least employed Americans. This proposal basically was to eliminate the United States work force.
Right.
It is amazing how many hands are in the multi-trillion dollar booty fedgov hands out. In so many cases we are funding our own downfall. We can no longer say “no” to anyone, because we have to be there to fix every sob story.
We are no longer a nation of adults. We are teenagers on a mission to set the world right with a credit card. We have no discernment, like “The Jerk” buying new leather seats for someone’s airplane. To do any less is heartless and cruel.
We can muster concern for every cause except what we are going to leave for our own children.
