No One Is Coming to Get Us

“In a national-security state, fear is the coin of the realm. The United States is no exception. In order to justify its continued existence and its ever-growing power and tax-funded largess, the U.S. national-security establishment — i.e., the Pentagon, the CIA, and the NSA — must keep the American people afraid, tense, agitated, and nervous. That necessarily means presenting us with a constant array of official ‘enemies,’ ‘adversaries,’ ‘competitors,’ or ‘opponents’ who are coming to get us. … no one is coming to get us. And no one ever was. Not the Reds. Not the Russians. Not the Chinese. Not the Cubans. Not Saddam. Not the terrorists. Not the Muslims. And no, not the Russians again. No one!” (10/28/24)
