a. The military industrial complex

I stopped right here. That term was spawned at 2 Dzherzhinsky Square and injected into our culture by the flag burners of the 60's.

Actually I believe it comes from a member of that complex, formerly known as the Arsenal of Democracy, Dwight David Eisenhower, 33rd President of the US in his farewell speech to the nation on January 17, 1961.

You've got that right. Communist propaganda borrowed for their cause.
