Our Ruling Class Military-Industrial Complex

For the next several weeks, the Tuesday editions of StressFreeBill’s Substack blog will be dedicated to identifying and describing the disparate factions of the new Ruling Class who have taken the reins of power in our society. Today’s issue will cover our Ruling Class Military-Industrial Complex. Previous newsletters discussed The Multinational America Ruling Class, Ruling Class Suck-ups, The Ruling Class Media, The Ruling Class Intelligentsia, The Ruling Class Bureaucracy, Ruling Class Judiciary, and The Ruling Class (in general).

We are calling this ‘our’ Military-Industrial Complex because many of the companies comprising this out-of-control behemoth originated in the United States and have arguably had the largest percentage of their funding originate from the U. S. Treasury. But, almost without exception, these companies have become multinational. To understand those ramifications, read our recent Substack blog on The Multinational America Ruling Class. We carve out the Military-Industrial Complex, however, because the political dynamics of these companies go way beyond other multinationals.

Ruling Class Military-Industrial Complex noun / ruː.lɪŋ ˈklæs mil-i-ter-ee-in-duhs-tree-uhl kom-pleks /

An elitist/narcissistic culture that has emerged amongst many in a network of our nation's military forces together with all of the industries and personnel who support it. This culture is especially dangerous because it justifies its massive self-enrichment by wrapping its constant push for war in the flag of patriotism. This leads to the delusional belief that what is good for these companies is (de facto) good for America.

The following is an excerpt from the article, President Eisenhower warns of military-industrial complex on History.com:

On January 17, 1961, Dwight D. Eisenhower ends his presidential term by warning the nation about the increasing power of the military-industrial complex.

His remarks, issued during a televised farewell address to the American people, were particularly significant since Ike had famously served the nation as military commander of the Allied forces during WWII. Eisenhower urged his successors to strike a balance between a strong national defense and diplomacy in dealing with the Soviet Union… However… Eisenhower expressed concerns about the growing influence of what he termed the military-industrial complex.

Before and during the Second World War, American industries had successfully converted to defense production as the crisis demanded, but out of the war, what Eisenhower called a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions emerged. This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience Eisenhower warned, "[while] we recognize the imperative need for this development...We must not fail to comprehend its grave implications we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence…The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist." Eisenhower cautioned that the federal government’s collaboration with an alliance of military and industrial leaders, though necessary, was vulnerable to abuse of power. Ike then counseled American citizens to be vigilant in monitoring the military-industrial complex.

Today, the money and power wielded by this consortium are measured in the $Trillions. There are few factions with more influence over our elected leaders. Because military spending is (by necessity) wasteful, the opportunities for corruption are endless. The Ruling Class Military-Industrial Complex is made up of elitists who see it as their duty to use the United States Treasury as their piggybank. The concept of using the U.S. Military as policemen to the world fulfills their needs for self-enrichment and coincides nicely with the Ruling Class’s push for Globalism.
