29. My thoughts about the discussion of MIC and the lack thereof
Edited on Wed Sep-24-03 03:42 PM by liberalnproud
Is that is too scary too big and has a tinge of a "conspiracy theory"
I think that most people want to believe that all the problems can be solved if only their candidate is elected. When you look at the MIC as a whole, I know I say to myself, it's too big, it's too late, there is nothing anyone can or will do.

For an example, take the Franklin cover-up that was brought to everyone's attention yesterday and today on this board. There hasn't been, in 15 years someone able to expose and punish these monsters. And these are criminal acts against children for God's sake.

Another recent example, 70% of the American populace thinks Sadam is responsibly for September 11. You can't even get nation informed enough to know that we went to war under false pretenses. And there is probably half the population that will never believe it even in the face of evidence.

The first action that needs to be taken is a general awareness of the Military Industrial Complex, and what their functions are, that can only be done through information. How do you do that?

I have found myself with such a feeling of hopelessness and despair over my revelations of the last year or so. I think people don't go there because they sense it is a lost cause. It is the elephant on the discussion board.

on edit too many damn words in one sentence.
