The metastasized Military Industrial Complex (and how one man is trying to expose this bipartisan beast)
By Kent R. Kroeger (August 29, 2020)
Robert Morris first came to my attention with his 2015 book, “Throw Away Your Vote! Why voting for a third party candidate is the only path to real change in 2016,” which someone shared with me on their Kindle at a time when Trump was a mere glint in the Republican base’s eye and mention of Hillary Clinton’s home-brew email server still made me think of craft beer instead of subpoenaed emails and bleached hard drives.
It was a gentler, more naive time.
“The Democrats and the Republicans really want us to believe they are different,” Morris writes. “The problem is that they are not. But we are told that we don’t have any other choice.”
The minimal policy distinctiveness of the two major U.S. parties has long been basic canon for the marginalized left and right in this country, but rarely do people from the center establishment make such a claim. [Why would they? It destroys the major basis of their power over civil society.]
What kind of radical lefty (or righty) is this guy? I thought. After poking around, I found the author’s website: The More Freedom Foundation.
