“The Cold War was one of the biggest rackets in U.S. history, one that was intended to justify the conversion of the federal government to a national-security state. Remember: In every national-security state, fear is the coin of the realm. The national-security establishment has to keep people agitated and afraid so that it can continue to expand its power and control, with the help of ever-increasing amounts of taxpayer money. To ensure that the American people remained in a state of constant fear after the defeat of the Nazi regime in World War II, U.S. officials immediately came up with a new official enemy, one that, ironically, had been the partner of the U.S. during the war.” (09/06/24)
