Standing Up To Politically Correct Socialism On Campus

By

       Zeno Potas

      In the United States, the disease of political correctness has taken root in our colleges and most universities are being taken over by this expression of Leftism. The Socialist's creed is “Speech I like is protected. Speech I don't like oppresses me and should be forbidden and anyone with whom we disagree must be silenced! punished! Fired!.” It’s always confusing when people use the terminology of one point of view to advance the opposite point of view. They use the language of individualism to promote collectivism and deny people their individuality. They use the language of diversity to promote non-diversity and exclude unwelcome viewpoints.

      To enforce this ideal student thugs take over administration offices with impunity, shout down speakers with whom they differ, and many faculty members support them. This is completely counter to the entire purpose behind freedom of speech. Repetition is propaganda so it should be no surprise that young people steeped in this authoritarian worldview from the moment they arrive on campus eventually begin to echo it. Certain speakers must not be allowed on campus! Certain viewpoints make us feel unsafe!

      There is one professor that has recently come into the spotlight and has yet to be terminated. Dr. James “Duke” Pesta of the University of Wisconsin is standing up for the first amendment of the Constitution by refusing to buckle under and he tells that to his students this the first day they walk into his classroom. He hands out a form to every student to read and sign. If they do not agree with it, they can drop the class immediately. He has no use for “students who only want their own preconceived ideas validated.” These are his words:

     "In this course, we study literature from cultures that existed before you were born. Their world is not our world. Their beliefs may not be our beliefs. No one asks you to believe or endorse any premise, attitude, precept, theology, political system, or ideology contained in these books or expressed in class.”

      "We will not malign or trivialize these texts because they do not always parrot our values. We will not assume these books are racist, sexist, or homophobic because of the period in which they were written, or because of the race, class, gender, or religion of the authors. People who approach alien cultures with such preconceived notions are bigots masquerading as critically sophisticated advocates, often in the name of ‘social justice.’ Persons who so diminish the past are neither social nor just, especially when they compel students to adopt their biases.”

With that said,

• Please drop the class immediately if you are triggered by free speech, the free exchange of ideas, or people who express and defend ideas or opinions that differ from your own.

• Please drop the class immediately if you are triggered by open, direct, and adult discussion of issues, including but not limited to issues of faith, war, violence, race, gender, and sexuality.

• Please drop the class immediately if you are triggered by recurring encounters with heterosexuality, traditional gender identities, sympathetic representations of Christianity (or religion in general), positive examples of free markets or capitalism, or unapologetic encounters with patriotism, hierarchies, or meritocracy-based institutions or attitudes.

• Please drop the class immediately if you feel entitled to censor the thoughts or words of others or insist they tailor their language or attitudes to your preferences.

    

      Today, the sad truth is that universities once known as open forums for free thought are now hostile to it. Indoctrination by far left professors and their skewed take on history and life in general has sucked the truth out of reality. In the name of "diversity" and "tolerance," American universities, once a jewel of free thought and intellectual inquiry, have become places Americans who cherish liberty and cherish America increasingly fear to send their children for fear of losing them to Socialist Communist ideology. How long Dr.Pesta can continue bucking this Leftist environment should be closely watched by all true American Patriots.

Enemy of the People - An Unbiased Response

By


       M. Richard Maxson

      A free press is essential to keeping the citiznry informed and the power of the government in check but what if the press is not actually free? What if the press has been consolidated into a small number of entities that publishes only the views of their elitist owners? What if other points of view are ignored or vilified? This is the state of the western media in 2018. As well renown journalist Dan Rather stated, “Real Journalism died in the 1990's,” but how did this happen?

      The rise of the internet has played a part but it was in that decade that real journalism was dealt a final death blow with the passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 that began deregulation and convergence which led to the emergence of multinational media conglomerates and as these multinational media conglomerates grew larger and more powerful it has become increasingly difficult for small, local media outlets to survive. The mergers eliminated scores of independent news organizations resulting in a concentration of media ownership. Today, six corporate conglomerates (Disney, CBS Corporation, 21st Century Fox, Viacom, Time Warner, and Comcast) own the majority of mass media outlets in the United States. Consolidation of the western press has created what is known as “media imperialism” which is a critical theory regarding the perceived effects of globalization on the world's media which is often seen as dominated by American media and culture. This new type of corporate imperialism has made almost all the western nations subsidiary to the media products of some of the most powerful countries or companies

      The Telecommunications Act enabled this handful of corporations to expand their power, and with little competition they eliminated their news bureaus from around the world. There was no longer a need to check the facts of a story as they all were carrying, basically, the same story. According to American historian, Howard Zinn, such mergers "enabled tighter control of information." American journalist, Chris Hedges argues that corporate media control "of nearly everything we read, watch or hear" is an aspect of what political philosopher Sheldon Wolin calls inverted totalitarianism

      Since the media is owned by the wealthy and by groups of people with a strong influence, these owners use the media as a safety tool to protect and project their own views and agendas. This is clarified using the “propaganda model.” It is a conceptual model in political economy that seeks to explain how populations are manipulated and how consent for economic, social, and political policies are "manufactured" in the public mind due to this propaganda. Part of the propaganda model is self-censorship through the corporate system also known as corporate censorship - that reporters and especially editors share or acquire values that agree with corporate elites in order to further their careers. Those who do not are marginalized or fired.

     Many critics of the media say liberal or elitist left wing bias exists within a wide variety of media channels, especially within the mainstream media, including network news shows of CBS, ABC, and NBC, cable channels CNN, MSNBC and the former Current TV, as well as major newspapers, news-wires, and radio outlets, especially CBS News, Newsweek, and The New York Times. These arguments intensified when it was revealed that the Democratic Party received a total donation of $1,020,816, given by 1,160 employees of the three major broadcast television networks (NBC, CBS, ABC), while the Republican Party received only $142,863 via 193 donations from employees of these same organizations

Media bias in the United States occurs when the US media systematically skews reporting in a way that crosses standards of professional journalism.

      Journalists were surveyed at national media outlets such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, and the broadcast networks. The survey found that the large majority of journalists were Democratic voters whose attitudes were well to the left of the general public on a variety of topics, including issues such as abortion, affirmative action, social services, and gay rights. The survey concluded firstly that journalists coverage of controversial issues reflected their own attitudes and secondly that the predominance of political liberals in newsrooms pushed news coverage in a liberal direction. This suggested this tilt as a mostly unconscious process of like-minded individuals projecting their shared assumptions onto their interpretations of reality, a variation of confirmation bias or mob mentality. The continued denials of bias by these individuals are because they actually don't realize that they are biased.

      Retaining only like-minded individuals suggests that media perform as a sentry not for the community as a whole, but for groups having sufficient power and influence to create, control, and project their own personal beliefs as truths. Many news outlets make no pretense of being unbiased, and give their readers or listeners the news they want, leading to what has been called post truth politics.

     Post-truth politics (also called post-factual politics and post-reality politics) is a political culture in which debate is framed largely by appeals to emotion disconnected from the details of policy, and by the repeated assertion of talking points to which factual rebuttals are ignored. Post-truth differs from traditional contesting and falsifying of facts by relegating facts and expert opinions to be of secondary importance relative to appeal to emotion. A defining trait of post-truth politics is that campaigners continue to repeat their talking points, even if these are found to be untrue.

       As of 2018 political commentators have identified post-truth politics as ascendant in many nations, notably the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe among others. U.S. and western commercial media encourage controversy only within a narrow range of opinion, in order to give the impression of open debate, and do not report on news that falls outside that range. In a study of 116 mainstream U.S. papers, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, and the San Francisco Chronicle, study author Jim A. Kuypers stated that the mainstream press in America tends to favor liberal viewpoints. Reporters who they thought were expressing moderate or conservative points of view were most often were labeled as holding a minority point of view regardless of the truth. 
 

      A study by political scientists Tim Groseclose of UCLA and Jeff Milyo of the University of Missouri at Columbia attempted to quantify bias among news outlets using statistical models, and found a liberal bias. The authors wrote that "all of the news outlets we examine[d], except Fox News's Special Report and the Washington Times, received scores to the left.

      Across the United States over 100 editorials are defending themselves and attacking President Trump for his statement that the press is “the enemy of the people” He is also constantly complaining about “fake news,” and the media doesn't like that label either. He is not a politician and does not speak like one. His words may be confusing but the idea is correct. “Fake News”* is propaganda however subtle. The press is not “the enemy of the people” unless the press is, consciously or unconsciously, pushing a one-sided agenda as Pravda did in the old Soviet Union. While this has been described as a contemporary problem, some observers have described it as a long-standing part of political life that was less noticeable than before. It is a fact that six corporations control roughly 90% of the media and they and they alone tell the world what is true and what is not. This IS NOT a free press. This situation is a disaster for the Republic. 

 

*Fake news is news reported with opinions and speculation. It is when a journalist selectively chooses and ignores facts, and interprets or paraphrases those facts to reach an unwarranted conclusion that conveniently validates his own views.

Protect the Constitution

By

       George Sontag

"Republics decline into democracies and democracies

degenerate into despotisms." -- Aristotle

       As children, the young Patrick Henry, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin and the Marquis de Lafayette did something our children don’t do today,they did study the past. They studied how ancient civilizations governed, what the world’s most brilliant philosophers thought and why man acts as he does across time.

      In the 21^st century United States The education system also known as “government schools” have opted to put the study of human history on the back burner. It seems subjects like black history and social justice is more important than the reading the teachings of great scholars and thinkers whose truisms are the basis for all humanity. This Progressive agenda, that preaches that the past is obsolete, professes that all writings, including the Constitution and subjects such as civics, are unimportant. 

 

      In this way the Progressive left are transforming America by transforming the rules. They use the term “post-constitutional" to describe the current era in which we live. What is post-constitutional? There are couple of characteristics. In the past, law was the great leveler. We could all agree on the basics. Law is no longer a fixed, largely agreed upon principle. Instead it is becoming something elastic, subjective, defined by the latest best argument cooked up at Harvard Law School or Yale.

      Outright hostility to the Constitution becoming mainstream. In our law schools law professors are busy dismantling the Constitution because of their dislike of it and the people who wrote it, than they are teaching what it actually says. After all, why teach what it actually says when your Progressive agenda is to replace it?

      Close-minded liberals have the intellectual arrogance to think they should decide for all of us which ideas are to be heard and which are not. They try to portray everything that happened in America’s past as evil and backward. This reeks of totalitarianism, which has crept in gradually and has taken root in our society. In our media, in all that we see and hear, the propaganda of Progressive Socialism is overwhelming. Their drum pounds 24/7 so it should be no shock that millennials lean to the Left when they constantly have liberalism shoved down their throats by their schools, their favorite musicians, and Hollywood.

      H. L. Mencken famously said, “Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.” While it was true at the time, it’s even more accurate now. Is it any wonder that this country is sliding down the slope towards Socialism?  The Constitution cannot protect our rights if we do not protect the Constitution. Freedom is not free, and the Constitution is just some words on paper if we do not do anything to those who attempt to subvert it.

Corporate Propaganda Is The Enemy of the People

By

 M. Richard Maxson

      It was a bad week for American mainstream journalism. The string of errors followed a pattern of earlier false and misleading reporting and other violations of journalistic standards, a sorry record that has been the hallmark of the corporate press. Anyone who has any minimal concerns about journalistic accuracy should demand an accounting as to how major U.S. media outlets continue filling so many people’s brains with totally false news.

      Opinion and insinuation is NOT news. Media corporations are doing the opposite of what journalists ought to do: Rather than informing the public about what happened and providing minimal transparency and accountability for themselves and the high-level officials who caused this to happen, they are hiding behind meaningless, obfuscating statements crafted by P.R. executives and lawyers.

      Journalists should be on the same team as the truth. Instead, many cherry-pick facts to push their own narratives and personal interest, particularly on television and on social media. So, how can journalists and news outlets so flamboyantly act offended when they’re attacked as being “Fake News” when this is the conduct behind which they hide when they get caught disseminating incredibly consequential false stories?

      The major U.S. media outlets fill so many people’s

brains with totally false news. Virtually every false story published goes only in one direction: to be as inflammatory and damaging as possible on the Trump-Russia story and about Russia particularly. No Russian Facebook ad or Twitter bot could possibly have anywhere near the impact as CNN and others when it comes to deceiving people with blatantly inaccurate information.At some point, once “mistakes” all start going in the same direction, toward advancing the same agenda, they cease looking like mistakes.

      This type of recklessness and falsity is now a clear and highly disturbing trend — one could say a constant — when it comes to reporting on Trump, Russia, and WikiLeaks. It is reporting(?) like this — and the subsequent corporate efforts to obfuscate — that have made the U.S. media so disliked and that fuel and empower Trump’s attacks on them.

      A socio-cultural-political structure is in place wherein

the individual is bombarded, to the point of psychical saturation, with self-serving, elitist manufactured media content. This attitude is a systemic problem in the press, and especially at CNN. The calls for violence and action against current administration official reeks of totalitarianism. By its nature, totalitarianism conspires to keep the conscience in a state of angst, oblivious to reality. Is it any wonder that the president has called the current US media as “enemies of the people?”

     At yesterday's press conference CNN representative Jim Acosta demanded the press secretary codemn the president's remarks – her response was spot on truth...

“It’s ironic, Jim, that not only you and the media attack the president for his rhetoric when they frequently lower the level of conversation in this country. Repeatedly, repeatedly the media resorts to personal attacks without any content other than to incite anger.”

      She went on to say the media have attacked her personally “on a number of occasions” before specifically calling out rhetoric she said aired on CNN. “Including your own network said I should be harassed as a life sentence. That I should be choked. ICE officials are not welcomed in their place of worship,” Sanders said.

      “When I was hosted by the Correspondents’ Association, which almost all of you are members of, you brought a comedian up to attack my appearance and call me a traitor to my own gender,” Sanders said. “As far as I know, I’m the first press secretary in the history of the United States that’s required Secret Service protection.”

     Sanders said the media “continues to ratchet up the verbal assault against the president,” noting that the administration has a “role to play” but the media are also responsible for the discourse in America.
The administration has been very clear on this as the press secretary has stated........

      “Look, the President is simply calling out a very direct and false accusation lodged against him. There was nothing more than an individual trying to put their bias into their reporting, and something that, frankly, has gotten a little bit out of control. We've seen it time and time again over the last couple of weeks. A number of outlets have had to retract and change, and rewrite, and make editor's notes to a number of different stories -- some of them with major impacts, including moving markets. This is a big problem and we think it's something that should be taken seriously.”

      “You cannot say that it's an honest mistake when you're purposefully putting out information that you know to be false, or when you're taking information that hasn't been validated, that hasn't been offered any credibility, and that has been continually denied by a number of people, including people with direct knowledge of an instance. There's a very big difference between making honest mistakes and purposefully misleading the American people -- something that happens regularly.”

      The first amendment guarantees a free press, but what if the press is not free, but merely a propaganda tool for the special interest cabals that lurk in the shadows? No matter your views on those political controversies, no matter how much you hate Trump or regard Russia as a grave villain and threat to our cherished democracy and freedoms, it has to be acknowledged that when the U.S. media is spewing constant false news this, is a grave threat to our republic and our cherished freedom.

History and Knowledge Disappear in the Progressive American Education System

By

       M. Richard Maxson

                James Madison, known as the "father" of the Constitution, wrote, 
                 "A well-instructed people alone can be permanently a free people."

     For the last fifty or sixty years now our youth have been under an intense indoctrination program in our public schools and universities. American history is no longer taught, but instead a revisionist history of this country is force fed down our children’s throats by “educators” whose own anti-American biases are obvious. When we censor our history by disguising our scars, we belittle the struggles our ancestors fought so hard to overcome. Today, in America, schools have become nothing more than ‘leftist indoctrination centers’. 
 
      One effect is that many of the rising generation can

go from elementary school through postgraduate education at our leading colleges and universities without ever hearing a coherent presentation of a vision of the world or our own country that is fundamentally different from that of the political left. There are professors at either elite or non-elite academic institutions that have been shouted down, forced out, or even physically assaulted when they tried to give a historical point of view that challenged the prevailing political correctness.

       As children, the young Patrick Henry, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and the Marquis de Lafayette did something our children don’t do today. They studied the past. These children studied how ancient civilizations governed, what the world’s most brilliant philosophers thought and why man acts as he does across time. Seeds of knowledge and understanding were planted in these mere children so they knew how a healthy government should operate to serve its people, and how its people should in turn conduct themselves.

If our Founders returned today, they might be alarmed by the widespread ignorance of American history and civics among U.S. citizens.

• For example, slightly more than half (53%) of Americans do not know that the first 10 amendments to the Constitution of the United States are called the "Bill of Rights."

• A third of Americans (33%) do not know who delivered the Gettysburg Address. A sizable minority (42%) of Americans do not know the title of the national anthem.

• The scores also indicate that four in five Americans (83%) cannot name the current Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, William Rehnquist.

• Three in 10 (31%) are unable to name the current vice president of the United States.....and it goes on.
  

      There are more educated people than ever before, but fewer people who seem capable of thinking. In general, Republicans outscored Democrats on most of the questions asked. However, this difference likely results from the fact that Republicans tend to be better-educated than Democrats are.  

      What our educational system is producing is cultural amnesia, a wholesale lack of curiosity, historyless clones of our children, and educational goals composed buzzwords like “critical thinking,” “diversity,” “ways of knowing,” “social justice,” and “cultural competence.” Our education system now excels at producing perfectly hollowed vessels, receptive and obedient, without any common culture or shared history. 

 

     These findings are cause for deep concern. If knowledge of these basic components of American history and civics are lost, then the American system of representative democracy could be lost as well.

The World's View of the United States is Far Different than It's Citizens are Led to Believe

by

       Phillip Todd

      According to a global survey of 66,000 people conducted across 68 countries by the Worldwide Independent Network of Market Research (WINMR) and Gallup International at the end of 2013, Earth’s people see the United States as the leading threat to peace on the planet. The U.S. was voted top threat by a wide margin.

      Four NATO powers prefer Russia to the US, Gallup poll shows. A Gallup poll has revealed that citizens of four NATO nations would sooner count on Russia to defend them rather than the United States. People from Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria and Slovenia - all members of the transatlantic NATO alliance - opted for Russia when asked whom they felt they could count on if they felt under threat. 

 SHOCKED? 
              
          - Read comments from people who know:


      “I’ve been a journalist for about 25 years, and I was educated to lie, to betray, and not to tell the truth to the public. But seeing right now within the last months how the German and American media tries to bring war to the people in Europe, to bring war to Russia — this is a point of no return and I’m going to stand up and say it is not right what I have done in the past, to manipulate people, to make propaganda against Russia, and it is not right what my colleagues do and have done in the past because they are bribed to betray the people, not only in Germany, all over Europe.”
                - Dr. Udo Ulfkotte is a top German journalist and editor

      "The global war on terrorism is a US undertaking, which is fake, it’s based on fake premises. It tells us that somehow America and the Western world are going after a fictitious enemy, the Islamic state, when in fact the Islamic state is fully supported and financed by the Western military alliance and America’s allies in the Persian Gulf. The global war on terrorism is a fabrication, a big lie and a crime against humanity.” 

   - Michel Chossudovsky, Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of Ottawa

      "The truth is, there is no Islamic army or terrorist

group called Al-Qaeda, and any informed intelligence officer knows this. But, there is a propaganda campaign to make the public believe in the presence of an intensified entity representing the ‘devil’ only in order to drive TV watchers to accept a unified international leadership for a war against terrorism. The country behind this propaganda is the United States.”
            – Former British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook

       "The gross misallocation of resources is a function of American capitalism and how its economy is dominated by a grotesque military-industrial complex."
         - Irish Journalist, Finian Cunningham

      "US are the biggest terrorist in the world. Fortunately an increasing number of countries are realising this. Russian's don't need any help recruiting anyone (spies) as long as New Yorkers continue to vote Communists into power." - somanysmidgens 

      "We do not criticize the western media. We just conclude that it is a total scam presenting propaganda and disinformation. The stage when the western media deserved just to be critizised is long gone." - brianperspectives

       "Considering the guns, 'big brother' mentality, greed and 'americintricity', it certainly has lost its appeal. Lots of other places to go if you want warm weather and a friendly atmosphere." - remtoo

 

 

STILL SHOCKED?

       If you are, you have not yet gone beyond the

propaganda field of the elitist western media. Please read news from around the world to get ALL the facts in order to form a proper opinion. Please do and remember this - when you turn on your television that EVERYTHING that comes from it is fantasy. The fact is that the networks on CNN and MSNBC are listed by the FCC as "entertainment channels" - NOT news. Let that sink in.

 

The Deep State Takes Control of America

By

M. Richard Maxson


This series of articles continues to examine what the shadow government and the deep state are and how they have gained so much control over the U.S. government and society in general.

      In Truman’s view, misuse of the CIA began in February 1953, when his successor, Dwight Eisenhower, named Allen Dulles as CIA director. 

 

EISENHOWER

      After their successful coup in Iran, Dulles and his cohorts had allowed themselves no restraints. Along with his brother Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles, they partnered up with those who comprised the Shadow Government, and working in concert they began launching violent campaigns against foreign leaders they saw as threats to the United States. President Eisenhower, relying on the brothers, was kept partially in the dark and was not given all the details of their operations but with a glance, a nod, and a few words, to the president, the brothers could mobilize the full power of the United States anywhere in the world as it suited them. The Deep State had exploded.

      The major covert campaigns under the Eisenhower administration were:

• 1953 - Iran – CIA overthrows the democratically elected Mohammed Mossadegh in a military coup, after he threatened to nationalize British oil. The CIA replaces him with a dictator, the Shah of Iran, whose secret police, SAVAK, is as brutal as the Gestapo.
  
• 1954 - Guatemala — CIA overthrows the democratically elected Jacob Arbenz in a military coup. Arbenz has threatened to nationalize the Rockefeller-owned United Fruit Company, in which CIA Director Allen Dulles also owns stock. Arbenz is replaced with a series of right-wing dictators whose bloodthirsty policies will kill over 100,000 Guatemalans in the next 40 years.
  
• 1954-1958 - North Vietnam — CIA officer Edward Lansdale spends four years trying to overthrow the communist government of North Vietnam, using all the usual dirty tricks. The CIA also attempts to legitimize a tyrannical puppet regime in South Vietnam, headed by Ngo Dinh Diem. These efforts fail to win the hearts and minds of the South Vietnamese because the Diem government is opposed to true democracy, land reform and poverty reduction measures. The CIA’s continuing failure results in escalating American intervention, culminating in the Vietnam War.
• 1957- Laos — The CIA carries out approximately one coup per year trying to nullify Laos’ democratic elections. The problem is the Pathet Lao, a leftist group with enough popular support to be a member of any coalition government. In the late 50s, the CIA even creates an "Armee Clandestine" of Asian mercenaries to attack the Pathet Lao.
  
  

      These campaigns helped push countries from Guatemala to the Congo into long spirals of violence, led the United States into the Vietnam War, and laid the foundation for decades of hostility between the United States and countries from Cuba to Iran. The Deep State was formed and it's forte became overthrowing governments (in current parlance, “regime change”) and they were quite good at it.

      Towards the end of his term, after battling health problems which allowed Richard Nixon to run the country for a while, President Eisenhower grew extremely wary of what he was seeing develop inside the government. On January 17, 1961, President Dwight D. Eisenhower closed out his second term and delivered his farewell speech on live TV and warned Americans of a threat far more deadly than the Soviets and the Chinese. He issued an unprecedented warning that almost no one paid attention to at the time. He warned of a behind-the-scenes shift in Washington DC that had “grave implications ” for America. He revealed the dark side of American power…a shadow government… a group of unelected insiders that threatened to take full control of the U.S.

      He revealed to the American public that because of our previous wars - “We have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions. Added to this, three and a half million men and women are directly engaged in the defense establishment. We annually spend on military security alone more than the net income of all United States corporations.” Now this conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence—economic, political, even spiritual—is felt in every city, every Statehouse, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet, we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources, and livelihood are all involved. So is the very structure of our society.”

      “In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.” 

– Dwight D. Eisenhower, 34th President of the United States, January 1961

      He warned us although of the danger that was becoming, although he did not fully comprehend the size and scope of the monster that had been created. Eisenhower did not fully realize that the Dulles' brothers “Deep State”had all but taken clandestine control of US foreign policy. It was as an adolescent, and with it's success at undermining regimes around the world and working together, with the elitist shadow government it was growing at a rapid rate - as a cancer would.

      The new government within a government spurred on more covert activities in order to intercept possible challenges to, in the Dulles' brothers mind, and maintain dominance of, the United States – without congressional or the public's ability to regulate or approve of their actions. Cuba was the next big prize on the brothers agenda. America did not realize that it's elected representatives had lost control over their own foreign policy.
