Eisenhower's Warning on Military Influence

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.
