Letters to the Editor • Military Industrial Complex

America’s War Lords – a monthly expose

Robert M. Gates, outgoing Secretary of Defense and former Director of the CIA is this weeks’, and my 1st nominee to expose how the military industrial complex and strategically placed individuals in government have played an important role in the undermining of both the financial and sociological prosperity of our nation. They sacrifice the lives of young men and women for personal profits and gain, bordering on psychopathic behavior with lies, unconstitutional actions and criminal behavior.  Almost all will be quite wealthy in relation to the majority and almost all reside in positions both within government and either in direct or indirect relationships with military contractors/consultants throughout their lives.  As you review the various sites and content, you will start to see a conspiratorial collusion so evident that even a middle schooler could unravel. Law firms, Judges, politicians and bureaucrats collude with industry, to redistribute wealth for personal gain, under the pretence of national defense or the war of drugs and each week I will try to expose what they do and how they do it. People like this have bankrupted our nation and their blind ambitions are destroying the America way of life. We should know who these people are.    

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Gates  A member of the Council on Foreign Relations since 1983 is the first indication that Robert Gates has been influential in the promotion of warfare within U.S. politics. You will find a significant number of current and former administration officials are also members of the CFR. Robert Gates had sent a memo to the White House in 1985, urging US government to sell Iran arms during Iran-Iraq War.  The infamous Iran Contra Affairs ended with a number of prosecutions. Somehow, Gates and some other Senior Officials escaped prosecution at the expense of a number of their subordinates who did go to jail. Reviewing the prominent members of the CFR, an invitation only membership, you will find a plethora of major players in both government and the military industrial complex.  http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Council_on_Foreign_Relations 

 

If you don’t understand the reasons why we are currently fighting “conflicts” in various countries around the world, don’t fret, no one else really does either. Many have their theories and Spreading Democracy and fighting terrorism, we are told by the government but as you know the current U.S. democratic Republic would not be that great of system to export, as our system has just financially melted down as many other highly fascist countries have, under the weight of massive government spending. Guys like Gates appear to care little of what this spending is doing to the average Citizen in this country. He is quite wealthy and on the Board of Trustees of Fidelity Investments, one of the largest mutual fund investment companies in the World.  

 

Robert Gates entered government service almost immediately after college. He was recruited by the Central Intelligence Agency and joined the agency in 1966, but soon entered the Air Force for just two years (not typical) and then went back into the CIA. He basically stayed in the CIA in various capacities and National Security Council and other Security positions for 26 years. Gates was the interim Dean of the George Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M University from 1999 to 2001. He became Secretary of Defense in December 2006 under George W. Bush.  Surely a government lifer but his activities have also been on some very controversial corporations most notably Science Applications International Corporation, one of the largest defense/intelligence government contractors with 9,000 government contracts and full of numerous past high ranking government official involved.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_Applications_International_Corporation If you want to know where a good bit of the money is going check out SAIC.

 

Robert Gates is retiring this month, at the perfect point in his life as such organizations like NATO that he profited from throughout his career are running out of money.  NATA, the mightiest military alliance in history is only 11 weeks into an operation against a poorly armed regime, in a sparsely populated country, yet many of the allies are beginning to run short of munitions.
