This is a report in response to the recent letter signed by 11 retired US Generals raising alarmist fears of global warming in counter to the truth emerging from climate-gate at East Anglia.  We wanted to understand why so many retired generals, all of whom have multiple ties to defense contractors, private armies, progressive entities, are so clearly shilling the progressive agenda, complete monopolistic control of the world’s means’ of production.

The corruption of the American military began the moment it came into being, as all organizations experience.  For most of American history, this danger of corruption was held in check by limited powers and connections the military did NOT have to the private sector.  These barriers began to fall away with the creation of an industrial complex married to private interests during WWII.

Dwight D. Eisenhower recognized this threat in his famous speech on military industrialization:

[8] http://coursesa.matrix.msu.edu/~hst306/documents/indust.htmlA vital element in keeping the peace is our military establishment. Our arms must be mighty, ready for instant action, so that no potential aggressor may be tempted to risk his own destruction.Our military organization today bears little relation to that known by any of my predecessors in peacetime, or indeed by the fighting men of World War II or Korea.Until the latest of our world conflicts, the United States had no armaments industry. American makers of plowshares could, with time and as required, make swords as well. But now we can no longer risk emergency improvisation of national defense; we have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions. Added to this, three and a half million men and women are directly engaged in the defense establishment. We annually spend on military security more than the net income of all United States corporations.This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence — economic, political, even spiritual — is felt in every city, every State house, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society.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.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.Akin to, and largely responsible for the sweeping changes in our industrial-military posture, has been the technological revolution during recent decades.In this revolution, research has become central; it also becomes more formalized, complex, and costly. A steadily increasing share is conducted for, by, or at the direction of, the Federal government.Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been overshadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers.The prospect of domination of the nation’s scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present

• and is gravely to be regarded.

Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific technological elite.

In the wake of Climate-gate, this idea of scientific technological elitism has become glaringly apparent.  All that Eisenhower has warned about has come to pass, along with the creation and proliferation of private armies, much like the last days of the Roman Republic saw the personalization of legions.  Cassius, a famous Roman aristocrat, once made the comment that no man in Rome could be seen to be wealthy (and thus not be in the ‘power club’) unless he could support his own legion.

The wealthy families that largely run (or at least strongly manipulate) most world affairs do so behind gated communities now protected by these private armies.

Here is a quick glance at just a couple of these growing private armies, always ‘started’ by retired Generals, with no disclosure as to who funded the creation of these armies in the first place.  The generals serve as the front men that keep Americans from looking behind the curtain, where Corporate board directors are directing the monies to create these private armies:

No list would be complete without Dick Cheney’s Blackwater group, that, like Acorn, tried to hide its nefarious roots by renaming itself.

Xe (formerly Blackwater Worldwide, formerly Blackwater USA). Please note Xe does not currently have a website, and we doubt they will have one any time soon. The description below (and links) belongs to their former image:We are not simply a “private security company.” We are a turnkey solution provider for 4th generation warfare. We assist with the development of national and global security plans, train, equip and deploy public safety and military warriors, build combat live-fire indoor/outdoor ranges, MOUT facilities and shoot houses, create ground and aviation operations and logistics support packages, develop and execute canine solutions for patrol and explosive detection, and can design and build facilities both domestically and in austere environments abroad.[Information retrieved from [123] About Us on 1 August 2005]:[124] http://www.blackwaterusa.com/Blackwater, or whatever you want to call it, no longer has a website.  A worldwide military capable of ‘4^th generation warfare’ is allowed almost complete anonymity.  Why?  We predict the other private militaries will soon follow suit.
