The Military Industrial Complex (MIC)
has become The MICIMATT

MIC Origins:

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.

What is the MICIMATT?

• The term “MICIMATT” refers to the powerful network of persons and institutions with convergent interests enabling a militaristic US foreign policy to impose US liberal hegemony on the world.
• In short: American elites control the world.
