Bill Hartung has been analyzing the American war machine for years, and he predicts that military contractors will provide the first “boots on the ground” as trainers and fighters—likely to be followed by uniformed troops. He notes that, so far, no inspector general has been authorized for the new war, so there are few obstacles to profiteers.

Voters in Hollywood, Glendale, Silverlake and Burbank have a choice-- Schiff is the CIA corporate candidate and Stokes is the grassroots progressiveAdam Schiff, a conservative Blue Dog and New Dem with a Military Industrial Complex complex, is a bad fit for his new district, which saw much of its more conservative-leaning areas in the eastern third of the district, including most of Pasadena, South Pasadena, San Marino, Alhambra and Altadena, shave

The Military Industrial Complex and its faithful media spokesmen are warning that the only way to stop ISIS from overrunning America and beheading everyone is to spend more money… on the Military Industrial Complex. Martin Feldman, a right-wing kook with a respectable-sounding pedigree, was chairman of Reagan's Council of Economic Advisers from 1982-1984.

Drunken Speaker to ravenous GOP funders: "Somebody's boots have to be on the ground"Call me crazy but I didn't get the idea Obama was all that enthusiastic about jumping into another amorphous Middle East war, especially with traditional allies England, Germany and Turkey all saying "good luck but we'll sit this one

In the last week, we've been looking at how the Democratic Establishment and the Republican Establishment banded together to defeat Alan Grayson's amendment against militarization of local police departments.
