The 34th President of The United States, Dwight D. Eisenhower, in his farewell address to the nation in 1961 warned his countrymen against the dangers of "The Military-Industrial Complex".
Eisenhower, popularly known as “Ike”, conveyed a special gravitas through this message not only as President but based upon his triumphant role as the Supreme Allied Commander during WWII. Our nation still struggles mightily today in its attempt to balance the overall well-being of our nation with the paramount need for a strong defense.
Even as a Defense Hawk and Chief Cold Warrior by the necessity of the times and the office that he held, Eisenhower was gravely concerned with the potentially outsized role of the Defense Establishment in American life.
“The Military-Industrial Complex” is a Gordian knot that we have not extricated ourselves from, and are unlikely to do so.
However, as a global superpower, with responsibilities and national security threats commensurate with our role, there is no getting around the fact that we need to maintain the world's most powerful military. Like Mao said, "Power is at the end of a gun". He knew what he was talking about given he was responsible for the murder of 80 million Chinese citizens. The Chinese have great respect for their ancestors and Uncle Mao’s understanding of power has not eluded the CCP and their leadership in the 21st century.
Even with his vision in that brilliant farewell address, Ike, however, didn't foresee what would become the "Democrat Industrial Complex".
While it is true that the Chinese have overtaken America in every realm of industry that matters to the world's economy, they can't hold a candle to us in these 5 industries:
The Feminist Industry
The Race Industry
The LGBTQ Industry
The Education Industry
The Environment Industry
With these Fab 5, we peerlessly lead the world and remain its sole Superpower.
Each of the five, when traced back to their origins, you will find some legitimacy regarding the problems and issues that they were initially seeking to resolve. But that was before they became "movements” and morphed into industries.
Democrat stalwart and Bill Clinton’s 1992 & 1996 campaign manager, "Ragin' Cajun" James Carville, recently quoted Eric Hoffer who stated: “Every movement starts out as a cause, morphs into a business, and ends up a racket, Part of this diversity training stuff, I'm sure had hit the racket stage." The quote was accurate except for one thing, they are not rackets, they are full-blown industries.
Successful rackets, although lucrative, are the province of small-time criminal enterprises. These five are full-blown industries raking in billions and they now have meted out influence throughout American business, industry, and government. These three pillars of American society shudder at the thought of ever defying them.
There is not a space in any of those realms, where these Fab 5 industries are not monetized through corporate "sensitivity" training, direct financial contribution, and thinly veiled extortion. They do not concern themselves with anything related to the problem-solving that gave birth to their original cause. All have these goals in common: To monetize their litany of grievances, create limitless new phony ones, and create a one-party political system with full central control of our government, economy, and society.
They are not seeking equality, but preferences, for their industries to launder money by using cash to buy influence and votes to their industrial sponsors: The Democrat Party.
There is something else that these industries have in common... Once upon a time, they would propose solutions to the problems on their laundry list: clean air and water, educating children, equal opportunity for women, actual discrimination against gays, black people.
It is not by coincidence that the common claim of the Fab 5 is that the problems related to their industry are unsolvable:
...America is irredeemably racist...
…America is irredeemably homophobic…
…America doesn’t care about educating people of color...
…The world is doomed due to climate change…
… Male toxicity has destroyed the family and workplace culture around the world, etc...
Even though these industries, through their well-compensated mouthpieces, say that these problems are unsolvable, they demand endless streams of cash in pretending to make an attempt.
There is virtually no workplace in corporate America where employees at every level are not subject to endless, hateful sessions of “sensitivity training”. You name the grievance, there is a training program itching to waste your time.
They will endlessly convey to you, your irredeemable nature as a racist, homophobic, misogynist, etc. If you happen to be a "person of color" and don't buy into it, you are labeled as a traitor to your race.
But take heart America, they don't really mean it. What it’s really all about is just like one infamous America-hating, Jew-hating congresswoman said not too long ago, "It's all about the Benjamins Baby!".
She forgot to mention it’s all about the POWER baby.
You've now met the “Democrat Industrial Complex”…
Who says America isn't still the greatest industrial power in the world.
Feel better?
