The Defense Lobby Endangers The World
|
|
Periodically, many important US government officials get pranked by these two Russian pranksters Alexey Stolyarov and Vladimir Kuznetsov. So far we have recordings of Rep. Adam Schiff, Maxine Waters, John McCain and most comically, Rick Perry got trolled into talking about Pig manure with them. The latest victim of their trolling was Lindsay Graham. While, this trolling makes for good comedy, there is an even more serious and disturbing truth it betrayed about this presidency, US foreign policy and the power of the military industrial complex.
|
These two pranksters pretended to be the Turkish foreign minister Hulusi Akar and Sen. Lindsey Graham believes fully that he is speaking to the Turkish foreign minister Akar.
|
I listened to this recording of Lindsey Graham. Without wasting any time with pleasantries, Sen. Lindsay Graham blurted out, “ I (President Trump) don't want to impose sanctions on our ally Turkey. I want to move towards a free trade agreement. I have convinced my Republican colleagues to stand down. Right now, the system is not activated. There is no reason to talk about the sanctions. I am hoping to work with with our ally Turkey to get the S-400 in the right spot, so we can move towards a free trade agreement."
|
Incidentally, the S-400 is a Russian-manufactured missile defense system. Turkey, who has been a long-time, loyal customer of American defense industry bought that system for the dismay of American nat-sec industry. But the next sentence that Lindsey Graham says is truly disturbing. In 1961, Eisenhower warned us in his last speech. He said,"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." Even wouldn't have foreseen this orwellian words being uttered by a senator.At exactly 4 minutes into the conversation, Lindsey Graham says "The problem with the S-400 is that if turkey activates it OTHER PEOPLE WILL WANT TO BUY IT."
|
|
Later on in the interview he further clarified “People come to you because of your positions,” Graham added and Sen. Graham's position is to maximize profits. He supports war with any and all countries. Even Rand Paul has called out Lindsey Graham's agenda of maximizing all wars on earth. Rand Paul has called him a member of the neocon war caucus.
|
However, Lindsey Graham's words at 4:45 seconds of the clip hasn't had media attention but it is truly disturbing. He said," I'd like to get Turkey back into the f-35 program."
|
F-35 is a missile defense system manufactured by Lockheed Martin. Now, if we search Sen. Graham's campaign records, his biggest donor is:Lockheed Martin.
Incidentally, a few weeks ago, Turkey activated their S-400 program. Magically, this week, Lindsey Graham threatens "sanctions from hell" for Turkey.
|
|
If you are merely considering maximizing profit, we might ignite a world war. For example, Turkey, who is an ally, is trying to do an air campaign in Northern Syria. NATO has a mutual defense treaty meaning that every member of NATO need to join a war to defend its "allies." Russia and Syria have a mutual defense treaty. This means that we can ignite a world war merely because we want war to be good for profit.
|
|
I wish Lindsey Graham is an anomaly, but both sides of the political spectrum have been poisoned by defense funding and war has been good for business. Defense Lobby spends millions to keep us at war/ |
|
I will never take a dime from corporate PACs or or defense lobbyists because as Eisenhower said,"
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... 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." But Eisenhower's warning was meant for 1960's society. Today, the MIC has the power to shake the very structure of all life on earth. So they consequences are even graver and we must take this threat more seriously!
