His point was that the MI Complex was becoming too strong and would soon challenge the government for power. He didn’t mean to say that we could dispense with either, just that they had to be watched and controlled.

Reasonable advice. However, he did not see all the other monoliths who in their time would also get too ambitious.

I believe it to be a simpler equation: either they work for America, and under its constraints; or they imagine themselves as some part of a supranational or internationalist agency.

“A supranational union is a type of international organization that is empowered to directly exercise some of the powers and functions otherwise reserved to states. A supranational organization involves a greater transfer of or limitation of state sovereignty than other kinds of international organizations.”

With little effort you can imagine the litany of supranational-wannabee organizations, all craving wealth and power and seeking multinational or international authority.

Woodrow Wilson wanted something like that after WWI, with his League of Nations. Frank Roosevelt did him one better with the United Nations. But for all their hopes and aspirations, supranational agencies are just cesspits of rot, craved by those who want a return to monarchy ruling over peasantry.

There we certainly have a point of agreement. I go back to the '70s with "US out of the UN; UN out of the US.

That ugly building in New York, with the weird creepy twisted revolver sculpture in front should be razed to the ground after all the leeches occupying it have been defenestrated from the top floor.
