Reply #7: The price of having a predominant military industrial complex will [View All]

inevitably lead to a draconian police state here at home with a continuous loss of privacy and freedom.

When a few corporations control the police or military via robots, the humans lose their power, the corrupted "leaders" don't need approval from the citizenry anymore. They won't even need to use fake propaganda to sell a war if robots are doing the fighting.

For profit prisons, for profit insurance dominated health care, The Orwellian "War on Drugs", robot warriors and the eternal war against terrorism.

I believe the American People are most assuredly becoming enslaved to corporations.

I also believe this is just the latest example of what former President Eisenhower warned against during his fare well address when 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.

We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together."
