“What is the national-security establishment? It is composed of several agencies, two of the main ones being the vast military-industrial establishment and the CIA. They are the entities that enforce the sanctions and embargoes and engage in the invasions, occupations, regime-change operations, coups, assassinations, torture, indefinite incarcerations, renditions, partnerships with totalitarian regimes, and executions. The government has been successful in convincing Americans of two things: that all this is necessary to keep them safe and that America has continued to be a free country.”
