"We face a hostile ideology"

Recently watched a doco which linked into a few things ive been reading and seeing lately regarding JFK, Bobby and Roswell Technologies. yeh i know thats a pretty random set of dot points to go on but eh, thats what Coast to Coast is like ... lol.

Anyway a piece came up somewhere mentioning the rise of the "Industrial Military Complex" since WWII etc, and the last speech given by Dwight D. Eisenhower (president of the USA, 53-61, between Truman and JFK) as i watched and listened to this speech given in 61, the hairs literally stood up on the back of my neck. we and the powers to be have always known the road we are walking on, this state of chaos we find ourselves in today regarding terrorism, the middle east, military black budgets, etc etc, its nothing new. we were warned, and the good men who stood to make a difference, who wouldn't be swayed by under handed plots, bribes, or threats were silenced. i think its important to look back for a second and realise we find ourselves in such a mess because we've let the puppets run the show for too long, without questioning the warnings given.

On January 17, 1961, Eisenhower gave his final televised Address to the Nation from the Oval Office. In his farewell speech to the nation, Eisenhower raised the issue of the Cold War and role of the U.S. armed forces. He described the Cold War saying:
"We face a hostile ideology global in scope, atheistic in character, ruthless in purpose and insidious in method..."
, and warned about what he saw as unjustified government spending proposals and continued with a warning that
"We must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex... 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."

and yet what are we left with today, governments chosen and funded by Industrial Corporate and Military organisations. Elements which then say how high to jump and the man with the golden pen in the oval office signs the deeds of war. whilst our sons and daughters die, the players behind the scenes control the flow of money, power, influence and the future growth of nations. is there any chance of cutting those strings now? or as Eisenhower and JFK warned, have we already gone too far ...

chew the fat, while i move boxes and reset up the office and my deluxe suite at the Hilton.... i mean Swan Valley lol. :) peace all.
