7 Days in May- anyone?

[Gdjjr]

In 1961, when President Eisenhower expressed concern about the “military-industrial complex,” he was referring to a different type of danger from the national-security state — the danger that the Pentagon and the CIA would go on the attack against the president, under the rationale of protecting the nation or “national security” from a president whose policies were putting the nation into grave danger.


President Kennedy expressed the same concern when he induced friends in Hollywood to make the novel Seven Days in May into a movie. The novel and movie, which starred Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas, and Ava Gardner, posited a military takeover to save the country from the president, whose policies, military officials said, were endangering the country.

Great movie!
Even the pigeons didn't escape.
Americans haven't a chance. A bonafide culling could be coming.

Just like an insane person needs to be put down from time to time, an insane Country needs to be too.

I mentioned the 7 Days In May movie the other day. People here should read the book or at least watch the movie.
