Eisenhower's Military-Industrial Complex Warning and the Ukraine War

He understood the importance of President Eisenhower's farewell address when he warned that, quote, "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 our democratic process."

That warning rings as true today as it did back then when he said it as a retired general who led during wartime and as a president and commander-in-chief of the United States. He understood then, as we do now, that too often we, the American people, are told we must choose between liberty or security,

and which side often wins out in that proposition?

Liberty loses, and the warmongers claim that they are doing what they are doing for the sake of our security.

It's a lie. Eisenhower issued this warning because he understood the power of the influence of the military-industrial complex and how those who seek to keep us in a persistent state of war deny the heavy costs that it takes in human lives,

in taxpayer dollars, and in the erosion of our liberties, wars that have nothing to do with ensuring our security or our liberty.

Now, this is something that we're, we're dealing with right now in real time.

As you know, President Trump has been persistently and relentlessly pursuing a peace deal to finally end the war between Russia and Ukraine.

He talks frequently about the need to end the killing and the bloodshed, and his teams are negotiating now as we gather here.

But what I've seen over these months is that every time they make progress, and they move closer and closer to that hope for peace, the warmongers in the deep state step up and try to do everything they can to stop them. Predictably, they use the same old tactics that they've always used. The deep state within the intelligence

community weaponizes intelligence to try to undermine progress.

They leak it to their friends in the mainstream propaganda media to try to spread this and push a false narrative.

They foment fear and hysteria as a way to justify the continuing of the war and their efforts to undermine President Trump's efforts towards peace, and do so specifically in this case in order to try to pull the US military into a direct conflict with Russia, which is ultimately what the EU and NATO want.

We cannot allow this to happen. We have to see clearly what's happening before our very eyes and stand united in this cause of peace.

Крім того, коли ми повернулися зі Стамбулу, приїхав Борис Джонсон до Києва і сказав, що ми взагалі не будемо з ними нічого підписувати і давайте будемо просто воювати.
