LTG Gavin Predicts Current World Disorder, Part 1/3

In 1972, General James M. Gavin made a panel recording on "Military Security Blankets" where he explained that not only was the military-industrial congressional think-tank complex (MICC-TT) driven Cold War competition between American and Russia already over, but the new measure of a nation's security rests on a "tripod" of its economy, its physical/mental condition and the aspirations of its people.

Economy---------Condition---------People

And that sub-rosa to the outward nation-states, "wars" will be fought through immoral multi-national corporations with no conscience whatsoever.

General Gavin of the can-do, WW2 "Greatest Generation" is hopeful and optimistic that these problems can be solved by WE THE PEOPLE with a government that is loyal to us not THEY THE CORPORATIONS. To read more about his plans to restore America with neighborhood-based companies read his 1968 book "Crisis Now" written with legendary military reformer, Arthur T. Hadley:

Program 569: Military Security Blankets

U.S. Army General James M. Gavin discusses his belief that the security of the United States no longer depends on weapons, armed forces, and holding areas of strategic value around the globe, but rather on less tangible factors such as the people's standard of living and the overall economic health of the nation. With Harry S. Ashmore, John Cogley, Sidney Holt, George McTurnan Kahin, Donald McDonald, and Robert Rosen. Mar. 10, 1972. [CSDI program number 569; UCSB tape number A8185/R7]

Thank GOD there are intelligent human beings who clearly comprehend what we have realized all along! Bless you. Now we have even more elements to use in the MILITARY DEPROGRAMMING OF OUR CAREER OFFICER HUSBANDS!

WoW -- A very sharp ex-military thinker who had a clear sense of the major issues the US and world would be facing. Too bad he didn't have a bigger impact on inspiring the citizenry to prevent the political takeover of our republic by illegitimate & fatalistic 'leaders' promoting the pathological dogma of perpetual war, neocolonial conquest, anglo exceptionalism, corporate pillaging, short term profiteering, might-makes-right morality & similiar idiocies where hypocrisy & fraud are encouraged.
