Can we make Eisenhower's case?
Edited on Thu Jul-29-10 12:28 PM by kpete
In the first episode we quoted General and later President Eisenhower who said that
the military entitlement mentality would end up as "humanity hanging on a cross of iron".

Can we make Eisenhower's case?

The graph shows that the endless U.S. wars have been good for MOMCOM, because the companies that she-it is composed of are warsters of war profiteering infamy.

Notice the steep rise in income of the top 1% who compose MOMCOM following the beginning of the Bush II wars, shown by the vertical red line.

This has given MOMCOM incentive to catapult the propaganda against civil government offices (congress, president, judiciary) via the mainstream media's incessant put down of the civil government, along with the incessant effort to make heroes of the military.

This blog uses "MOMCOM" as the essence of the entities that in reality govern the United States in the sense of the self-image MOMCOM has.
