********************
The national-security state consists of a massive, permanent, and ever-growing military establishment (i.e., the Pentagon and what President Eisenhower called the military industrial complex), a secretive agency with the power to assassinate, kidnap, detain, and disappear people (i.e., the CIA), and a surveillance agency with the power to secretly monitor people’s activities (i.e., the NSA).
In the name of protecting America from communists and communism, the national-security state totally upended American principles and values. For example, the CIA secretly brought in former Nazi officials — the officials that worked for the government that America had gone to war against in 1941— to help it wage what became known as the Cold War. It also began engaging in medical experimentations on people — MKULTRA — that were no different in principle from those that had been employed by the Nazis. The FBI, CIA, and Pentagon began surveilling, abusing, smearing, blackmailing, infiltrating, and destroying people and organizations who were suspected of promoting communism, socialism, leftism, liberalism, or progressivism.
The CIA also began specializing in the art of assassination — that is, the extra-judicial killing of people who were deemed to be threats to “national security,” the two words that would quickly become the two most important words in the political lexicon of the American people. It wasn’t long before people who were suspected of being communists or who were deemed to be threats to national security were targeted for assassination.
When the Cold War suddenly and unexpectedly ended in 1989, Americans did not get their limited government republic back. Now deeply embedded in American life, the last thing that the Pentagon, the CIA, and the NSA were going to permit was a dismantling of the national-security state governmental structure.
Instead, they went into the Middle East and began killing people, starting with the Persian Gulf War and continuing through the sanctions on Iraq that killed hundreds of thousands of children. When the inevitable terrorist retaliation came, the national security establishment said, “You see, you need us more than ever to keep you safe from the terrorists,” which later morphed into “the Muslims.”
Through it all — both during the Cold War and after the Cold War — have been the regime-change operations, which entailed violently removing unsatisfactory foreign rulers, oftentimes democratically elected, and replacing them with brutal dictatorships, mostly military ones. Iran, Guatemala, Chile, and Afghanistan come to mind.
Also, there have been the many partnerships with extreme and brutal dictatorships. Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Chile (under Pinochet) come to mind.
Today, we live under a government that now wields the power to incarcerate, torture, and assassinate American citizens. The federal courts, running for cover, have upheld these powers, not daring to interfere with what is obviously the most powerful section of the federal government.
Finally, there is the out-of-control spending and debt that have accompanied the national-security state, spending and debt that are threatening our nation with bankruptcy.
At the risk of belaboring the obvious, this is not the type of government our ancestors intended to bring into existence. A necessary prerequisite for restoring liberty, prosperity, and harmony to our land is the restoration of the limited-government republic that they bequeathed to us. It’s time to dismantle America’s experiment with national-security statism.
