January 17, 1961 President Eisenhower, in his farewell address to the nation, warned America of the grave dangers that THE MILITARY COMPLEX posed for our democratic republic. It seems the that warning has gone unheeded. I havent seem too much on TV, or the internet about this anniversary. Last weekend C -Span had a program, sponsored by the Cato Institute,(OMG ) that dealt with the speech and how Eisenhower had fought the complex while President. The main speaker put General Dynamics, owned by the Crown family, at the apex of the the complex at the time of the early 1960's.
