Banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies. ~ Thomas Jefferson
As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all the wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the republic is destroyed...God grant that my suspicions may prove groundless. ~ Abraham Lincoln, in a letter to Col. Wm. F. Elkins, Nov. 21, 1864.
In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the militaryindustrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist... 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. ~ Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1961
