VIA; This interview centers on Former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center Joe Kent’s claims about the intelligence community, the “deep state,” and the possibility that unelected institutions exert influence beyond elected government. Kent tell Jimmy that greater transparency, declassification, accountability, and reform of agencies such as the FBI and CIA are necessary, while expressing skepticism about whether political leaders can fully control those institutions
As well, I am reminded of this via Google;
On January 17, 1961, President Dwight D. Eisenhower used his Official Farewell Address to warn the American public against the establishment of a "military-industrial complex"—the close, permanent relationship between the U.S. armed forces and private defense manufacturing companies. As a former five-star general and World War II hero, Eisenhower cautioned that this alliance possessed dangerous potential for misplaced political and economic influence that could threaten American democracy.
