In his farewell address, former President Dwight D.
Eisenhower warned of the Military Industrial Complex but most Americans had no
real idea of what he was warning about. The term was not ubiquitous to most
Americans and it was only those who were knowledgeable in the affairs of state
who really understood his warning.
Most Americans were just happy to be working and paying
their bills, still capable of saving for an annual vacation with their
families. Jobs were plentiful, men did most of the labor while women were
satisfied being wives and mothers. Some women did work, but like my own mother,
stopped working when raising children was more important than having money to
buy luxury. That was only for the wealthy or those who wanted to have the luxuries
of the wealthy, and they usually bought those things with readily available
credit offered by merchants or the banks.
Even a good education was available to the “middle
class” in the best colleges and universities at the time. I myself was offered
and promised scholarships to some of those great institutions of higher
learning. I even attended some lectures when I was bored with my high school
classes just to see what it was that was so special about attending college.
Mainly due to how much it was drummed into my young mind that a college degree
was a sure ticket to prosperity and a position of distinction in life.
But the usurpation occurred slowly. It reached quite a
high as President Eisenhower left office and I was made shockingly aware of the
impact when I read a document called the Report
from Iron Mountain.
I highly recommend reading None
Dare Call It Conspiracy and The
Underground History of American Education. I consider these required
reading for everyone who wants to know how we got to this place and how we can
be a part of the restoration of a sovereign republic.
