Senators are all "united" for the Military Industrial Complex and
our son and duaghters used as pawns for "oil and control of the

dollar used as the oil currency of choice".

Dem/Reps are owned..as is the press. The search for truth is non-existant.

1. You mean the "military-industrial-congressional complex"?
That was the original term that Ike wanted to use in his farewell address to the nation. He dropped the term "Congressional" after coming to the conclusion that it was too inflammatory.

Personally, I think he should have left it in. It was a much more accurate representation of the tangled web that exists between Congress, the Pentagon, and the military contractor industry.
