Unwarranted Influence and Misplaced Power
By Linda Minor (July 13, 2006 / Sanders Research Associates, Subscribers Only)
Forty-five years after President Eisenhower cautioned us about the military-industrial complex, we now understood what he meant. Psychological warfare (lobbying, advertising and fear tactics) have been used to build what in 1961 was a “defense establishment” and “armaments industry” into what has become the most powerful terrorist organization on earth.

He would spend the rest of his life in prison, yet the judge allowed him free on bail until sentencing four months later. This was unusual because a man facing life in prison is likely to flee, especially if he has millions of dollars in assets. Just two weeks after his conviction, his wife announced that this felon had suddenly died of a heart attack, and his remains had been cremated within hours of his death.
