Truman Creates NSA & Military Secrecy

Uneducated President Starts UFO Secrecy
& Alternative Energy
The phrase “national security state” has become
increasingly familiar as a way to characterize the
political reality of the United States today. It
implies that the need to keep dangerous knowledge
secret has become an essential function of the
governing power. The words themselves may seem a
shadowy abstraction, but the institutional,
ideological, and legal frameworks they denote
heavily impinge upon the lives of every person on
the planet. Meanwhile, the effort to keep state
secrets from the public has gone hand in hand with
a systematic invasion of individual privacy to
prevent the citizenry from keeping secrets from
the state.

Nixon & Trump, Reagan & Bush

Tear Down the Opposition
Nixon: Claimed largest crowds from the start
Nixon's credo: Win at any cost
Nixon & 98% of the Republican party was closed-
minded. And a closed mind has half the brain cells
necessary to function fully.
Nixon created Joe McCarthy, Bush (CIA and Baby), Reagan
& finally Trump
Nixon was the birth of conservatism & right-wing economics (the rich are job creators, cut taxes on them), McCarthyism, of course, was ultimately discredited because it was built on a foundation of lies (see 'ethos, pathos & logos'). Joe McCarthy's favourite tactic was to level accusations that could neither be proved nor disproved, and to turn friend against friend. More than once he told witnesses in front of his committee that if they weren't prepared to name people who were subverting American democracy, they must be guilty themselves. No other evidence was deemed to be necessary.
As time went on, the lasting change in America became clearer. The Hiss case led to the real birth of conservatism in the US. Prior to the case, America was a model of liberal democracy. Free speech, the right to due process, the right to trial by jury all these things were taken seriously by the US, written into the constitution in amendments adopted by the people. They were all undermined by the Hiss case and by what followed it.
BUT more than that, the arguments put forward by Chambers, and taken up first by Nixon and then by McCarthy, led to the development of a new politics, and to the re-emergence of a strong and deeply conservative Republican party. Nixon built the so-called 'silent majority' around his anti-communism and right-wing economics, and Ronald Reagan (who frequently quoted Chambers with approval, and took his description of Soviet Russia as the "Evil Empire" from a book by Chambers), George Bush senior and junior all built on that.

Reagan & 'Octopus'

Not just Iran Contra, but 40 million dollars in bribes to Iranians, murder to cover it up, and a thrown election to keep hostages until he said release. Organized crime, John Phillips Nichols, Fred Alverez, and the list goes on.
