Military-Industrial Complex from Eisenhower to Obama

[aaronmoravek]

We haven't had a good president since Eisenhower.

[Lieu3C4]

Such change as will be wrought upon the world will include the United States only in so far as there is a United States; the projection of military power brings no cultural change and effects a building resentment more than a cultural-technological transfusion, as some might speculate.

[whereismybailouttv]

It's perpetual war and it's never going to change. Why?

Not all but many still want to blindly trust their President and govt.

They can't be bothered to actually question the official line, study and then

make their own decisions.

Despiete everything he's done, millions will still vote for Obama because "he's the lesser of two evils".

[MadXMax187]

Obama has the same foreign policy as Harry Truman (A KKK member & the first and last person to order the atomic bomb dropped on another country)

[13christof]

interesting video. the only thing I want to mention is, that they still talk about 9/11 as if the oficial version would be correct, but since Niels Harrit found the nanothermite or David Chandler analysed the collapsing time of WTC7, the option of a false flag operation musst be considered a real possibility, a new investigation must take place.

oceania has always been at war with eastasia. This is what the U.S. Government tells it's citizens.. the U.S. government has always been at war with terrorism.

Gorbachev to Reagan, "You really this great country worst president in the history, you debt mongering."

@407buddy Stay free my friend and take good care.

[StandUp555]

Excellent guest as usual .. Thx

[waterhead001]

@407buddy Well, here's the thing, the United States today is an Oligarchy. We are ruled by a very few powerful people. A clique of bankers who run Wall street now own Washington. So, as a result, the President of the United States is a puppet position. Congress and the Senate, they are there just for show. Also, the Left/Right paradigm in American Politics is taken directly from Corporate advertising to give us, the American Public an illusion of choice when there is NO choice.

[ajmprovidence]

wow great interview

[angelicsoulz]

9/11 was committed by Mossad & the CIA.

[MiracleMile90]

@angelicsoulz: Both had some involvement, but they weren't the only parties, though:

[jakiner]

Get Noam Chomsky in on this discussion!

[midwestcharm]

The Federal Reserve system we have allowed the criminals to print as much money as they wanted. They bribed the media and squashed the dissenters with the trust of the funny money.

[gstory]

Overall I think this report is of good quality. I believe that the military-industrial complex as no allegiance to parties only to money. I would remind everyone that JFK refused to go to war on SIX different occasions and had ordered the return of advisers (he never sent combat troops) from Vietnam. Eisenhower advised Kennedy to send troops to Laos and Vietnam. See the movie and book Virtual JFK.

By leaving that info out it appeared that Kennedy was same, which I dont believe for a second.

[duezeri1968]

Excellent synopsis, great guest, with a very insightful interview. I'm a big supporter of The Real News Network, even sent some money, and wish them the best success, but just one criticism here: Paul Jay will never endear himself to young Americans if insults the quality of the their education--no matter how bad it may be, it was an impertinent comment. Would've been a perfect interview without it.

[NicosNicosNicosNicos]

@duezeri1968 You think people will be insulted to hear the schools they attended criticised? They believe them to be perfect? I guess Paul Jay couldn't resist pointing out how useless that education is and I'd say he has no more reason to withhold criticism of that than refrain from criticising anything else....Ghadaffi might be offended by some Real News videos too...and why not?

[waterhead001]

@407buddy I didn't vote for him. But, I was willing to give him a chance. I wish I knew then what I know now. I really can't blame anyone for voting for him. Considering how bad Bush was. The good thing in this is alot of people are understanding what is going on. Let's all learn from our mistakes.

[Kaxcer]

US military is paper tiger - in a democracy ... but in a fasism when they wouldnt have to care about public opinion, debts etc they are rather strong tiger ... you dont expect democratic country to bomb you but if US turns into fasism that looks quite different doesnt it ?

[hamidious]

That's why the US can't stop waging war, military wants more money. Come to think about it, they never stopped waging war ever since the cold war.

[equinoxranch]

@407buddy

What, the Sham Wowbamatrons are now awakening to the beyond lying, shuck and jive, ruinous, fraudulent naked Marxist that is "the one".................?

Who could NOT see through this fraud? This lying Marxist? This hate-filled racist anti-American? Myself, for starters.

I have no mercy for anyone who voted for this POS.

[DickOPlenty]

paul, you need to fix your audio lol if obama didn't do what these maniacs want he'd be a 1 term president. negative stories about him would start popping up in the "unbiased" media (only the banking system & the military have bigger assholes than them) so that he couldn't win a 2nd term or he'd end up like jfk.

[KaosReigns10]

War is evil. A farce. It's disgusting to watch the people in power perpetuate hatred and war when we're capable of so much better. Think for yourselves. Evolve people, evolve.

[ahwatdahec]

The Left certainly hates the US military.

[btigtime2]

Most people do not believe that it was the IMC that built up the USSR.... They gave the USSR the technology to be a worthy foe.... The Cold war was nothing more than just a game played with nukes.... far far far from chess... more like Chicken with everyone.

[btigtime2]

We need to cut the IMC by 400 billion... Close every base in the old world and drill baby drill.

[sheepblitzer]

we need to be careful when calling the wars "failures."(14:00)

sure they are costly to the average people, and are never "won" in any traditional sense.

but for the ruling elite who intiate and sustain them, the wars are a continual source of power: transferring wealth away from the taxpayer to certain industries; mustering "patriotic" fervor and implementing controls at home in the name of fighting "terror;" and of course resources captured abroad. for the elite these wars are a SUCCESS

[copie692012]

Watch ZEITGEIST ADDENDUM and ZEITGEIST MOVING FORWARD :)

[Benwoodruff]

Thanks so much for fixing that audio issue. I don't know if you guys realize how nice it is to have you listen to your subscribers. =)

[smujismuj]

Armed conflicts create enormous profits for arms dealers, politicians, bankers, oil barons, military forces, and all of the industries that support those entities.

So there will be armed conflict.

Warranted or not, wars are invented in order to maintain and increase profit margins.

That's how corporate-capitalism works:

If it's profitable, morality is negligible.

[xaotiko]

Thank you for this video .. This is why I donated to the real news in the first place :) :) So that they could bring out more stories about the military industrial complex.. Ultimately it will open up vistas of where the whole money is flowing from the feds to bigger and above top secret projects....

[Sundrumify]

Hi Paul,

Thank YOU for great interviews. This video was up yesterday with some comments including those of a YT friend and mine and taken off. Now i see it back and it would be nice if you could explain why. Lisa

[slewofdamascus]

@Sundrumify it had audio problems at the 13 minute mark or thereabouts, so they re-uploaded a technically-correct version.

[TheRealNews]

@Sundrumify Audio problem had to be fixed

[Sundrumify]

@TheRealNews

Dear Paul and the RealNews team. Thank you for letting me know. Am deeply thankful for your most outstanding work. Just a star, you are, among rare stars on the horizon of Free Media. Your interdisciplinary well researched, revealing interviews are on my top list every day and no day without Ray and the Real News. Salute!!!

[bugsz1]

Cut? LMAO

Obama almost doubles the previous budget to 1.2 trillion for millitary and defense and claims a couple billion is cutting? Obama has convinced me that Caeser has lost his mind, if he ever had one.

"The pentagon is not organised to do terrorism" WTF? YA IT IS! That's what they do best. Duh! Have you seen their weapons catalog?

[RagaDagga]

Why are there no video suggestions on this page? I reloaded and still nothing. Did this happen to anyone else? Weird.

[dooooooer]

what a great breakdown thanks guys. people have to see this video. thumbs up this video guys.

[waterhead001]

Obama is a Neo-Con pretending to be a Progressive Liberal. Levin, Limbaugh and Hannity and Glenn Beck are actually helping him when they call him a "Socialist" a "Communist" or "Marxist".

[bugsz1]

@waterhead001 You forgot "Fascist". :)

[waterhead001]

@bugsz1 I did. :)

[ThoseWhoStayUofM]

@waterhead001 Progressive Liberal = New-Con for all intents and purposes. In fact, the progressive liberal ideology is that you must move towards a stronger and stronger federal government with more and more government regulation of the private sector until you are left with a socialist economic structure and then later move to a communist socio-economic system. The Neo-Con ideology is similar in it's approach however the end game isn't communism but fascism.

[ThoseWhoStayUofM]

@ThoseWhoStayUofM Neo-Con*

[1337wafflezz]

@waterhead001 Dawg, only marxists and communists try to conquer the world. I mean look at Europe, they have a huge history of colonialism and now the majority of them are socialists. And in America, the socialists and communists who infiltrated our government started the era of McCarthyism where people went on a witch hunt for anyone who dissented against the government, but little did they realize that it was the government themselves who were the problem.

[taxisgay12]

Great job on this one Jay.

Plants can't live without CO2.Henceforth,no life on this planet.WD-40 won't spray wothout CO2 since they got rid of CFC's(chloroflouro-hydrocarbon­s) and R-12 refridgerants.Climate change is due to oil companies polluting everything.Most cars now drive around cleaning the air.
