MIC check

November 22nd marks the anniversary of the 9/11 equivalent for previous generations of Americans - 43 years ago on that day, JFK was assassinated. Much like 9/11, it was a powerfully emotional event steeped in confusion and mystery, most aspects of which were either ignored or staunchly denied by our wonderful government. Peep here for some interesting conspiracy theories about his murder.

Interestingly enough, the previous President (Eisenhower) mentioned the term Military Industrial Complex in his farewell speech. The same MIC which is arguably responsible for the current mess in Afghanistan and Iraq...and the same interests who literally supported Osama Bin Laden's fight against the Russians from 1979 into the early 80s and the same interests who gave weapons to Saddam Hussein to use against Iran in the 90s!
