1. Thank You. I Had Never Heard That

2. That video should be required for airing -- 24/7 on all MSM's....

I first saw Eisenhower's farewell speech about the "military-industrial complex" while I was still in high school in the late 60s. It was replayed then on a 60 Minutes segment that was about General Dynamics, Bell & Howell and other weapons manufacturers who were making money hand-over-fist off of the Vietnam War. Oddly, Eisenhower's comments were also included in my high school history book as well.

But the message was not heeded then, nor now. And while the names of the companies have changed some, and the target(s) for all these armaments are different as well, we now have Haliburton's up the wazoo.

military industrial complex, but never saw the footage. thx..greatest page vote for the sadly correct prophecy.
