"What Swann and Price had correctly described was a vast secret Pentagon underground facility in the Blue Ridge Mountains of West Virginia, manned by national security Agency code breakers, whose main job was to intercept international telephone communications and control US spy satellites. It was as though their psychic antennae had picked up nothing of note with the original coordinates and so scanned the area until they got on the wavelength of something more relevant to the military." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) "Hal even checked out as a good security risk since he'd had experience in intelligence in the Navy and had worked for the national security Agency. The men asked Hal to carry out a few simple experiments ?nothing elaborate, perhaps just guessing objects hidden in a box. If they were successful, the CIA would agree to fund a pilot program. The two men from Washington later watched Swann correctly describe a moth hidden in the box. The CIA was impressed enough to throw nearly $50,000 at a pilot project, which was to last for eight months." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"That's about the same amount the nation spent on the first two and half years of its military venture in Iraq, and fully twice as much as the federal government allocates annually for all research and development—including R&D for defense and national security.1 But here is the truly shocking statistic: nearly all of that money is devoted to treating symptoms. It pays for cardiac drugs, for clot-dissolving medications, and for costly mechanical techniques that bypass clogged arteries or widen them with balloons, tiny rotating knives, lasers, and stents." - Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.)

"The report itself was commissioned by an influential Pentagon defense adviser, Andrew Marshall, age eighty-two, a Pentagon legend who heads a secretive think tank dedicated to weighing risks to national security called the Office of Net Assessment, says the Guardian.^ Net Assessment once reported directly to Henry Kissinger and to this day gives secret testimony to the highest levels of government and to the military. Since 1973, every president has reappointed Marshall to his position, and Net Assessment's accomplishments are legendary, according to Wired magazine. " - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.)

"Under the Kennedy administration, Alexander was part of the White House staff, serving as foreign affairs officer of the national security Council. In 2003, Alexander retired from the board of Moody's Corporation, the parent company of Moody's Investors Service, a leading provider of credit ratings, research and analysis, covering debt instruments and securities in the global capital markets. Moody's separated from Dun & Bradstreet in the year 2000. Alexander had also served as chairman and chief executive officer at Dun & Bradstreet from 1999-2000." - Martin J. Walker, HRT Licensed to Kill and Maim: The Unheard Voices of Women Damaged by Hormone Replacement Therapy (Get the book.)

"Nor are the people using national security as an excuse to make deadly weapons. And certainly not the Bush administration, which alters science to fit their policies. Where Did the Brave Go? Weakness pervades our culture. Fear obscures rational thinking. People are afraid of terrorists and so they give up their rights. People are afraid of germs and disease and robotically do anything their doctors tell them. Doctors are afraid of their own licensing boards and so do what they are told—especially when drug companies are providing financial incentives." - Byron J. Richards, Fight for Your Health: Exposing the FDA's Betrayal of America (Get the book.)

"Creating Terrorists with Grudges Here is Zbigniew Brzezinski, a former U.S. national security adviser. Quoting Arnold Toynbee, he accuses the Bush administration of "suicidal statecraft ... the ultimate cause of imperial collapse."14 What the man doesn't seem to realize is that "suicidal statecraft" is just what the situation calls for. And Bush is perfectly up to the task. The great Anglo-Saxon empire has reached its "sell by" date. But while its homeland citizens groan under the burden of debt, many of its military and political leaders still talk tough." - William Bonner, Lila Rajiva, Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets: Surviving the Public Spectacle in Finance and Politics (Agora Series) (Get the book.) "Still, according to our gassed-up columnist, the 39,000 employees of the national security Agency and the hundreds of thousands of Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) employees, police, Homeland Security staff, and soldiers were not enough for America's imagining needs. "We need an 'Office of Evil,' " he urged, "whose job would be to constantly sift all intelligence data and imagine what the most twisted mind might be up to." - William Bonner, Lila Rajiva, Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets: Surviving the Public Spectacle in Finance and Politics (Agora Series) (Get the book.)

"Much of this work was done under the national security umbrella, stating that mind control was a potential weapon against Americans. The man in charge of the CIA's mind-control operations after World War II was Sidney Gottlieb, who passed away on March 10, 1999. Sidney received the highest of praise from the self-congratulatory Bonesmen-dominated CIA, the Distinguished Intelligence Medal. He was a true patriot in their eyes. Here is part of his obituary from the Washington Post: Sidney Gottlieb, 80, Dies; Took LSD to C.I.A." - Byron J. Richards, Fight for Your Health: Exposing the FDA's Betrayal of America (Get the book.)

"It reveals that unannounced search and surveillance efforts for reasons of "national security," without specific evidence of any crime, is increasingly common. In 1994, federal courts authorized more wiretaps for intelligence-gathering and national security purposes than they did to investigate ordinary federal crimes—576 over 554. In 1995, the court authorized a record 697 national security wiretaps on American soil, outside normal constitutional procedures. While thousands of applications for wiretaps had been made by mid-1996, the court never rejected even one." - Carl Jensen, 20 Years of Censored News (Get the book.)

"That is, as a result of the events involved in the mobilization and victory of the war, and the decision by government and industry that our country remain a global military and industrial power after the war, the United States became a national security state, a country constantly poised for war, and militarism became, and remains, an accepted aspect of our national identity. Agriculture merely played its role in that big picture. It should not be surprising then that today the United States is both the planet's number one arms merchant and the world's leading user and exporter of pesticides." - Will Allen, The War on Bugs (Get the book.)

Richards, Fight for Your Health: Exposing the FDA's Betrayal of America (Get the book.)

"Allowing the pharmaceutical companies to design their own drug studies makes no more sense than allowing a terrorist organization to design a plan for our national security. The cost to our nation for establishing a "drug studies standards board" would be minimal. Properly promoted, it could be seen as a great national service and be eagerly sought by the nation's leading authorities even if no remuneration were given board members. Drug companies could still pay for the studies, and results of each study (not just those with "good" outcomes) could be submitted and made public." - Dr. Timothy Scott, America Fooled: The Truth About Antidepressants, Antipsychotics and How We've Been Deceived (Get the book.)

"His language is sharply barbed—he spared no one's feelings —but his arguments still thunder, perhaps even more loudly in an age where many attack human rights in the name of national security or religion: "The inquisition in Spain does not proceed from the religion originally professed, but from this mule-animal, engendered between the church and the state." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"Its premise was that population growth in third-world countries was a threat to national security. Guidelines were put forth to control population through birth control and various other measures. The policy was implemented by George Bush, Sr., as head of the CIA, new NSC director Brent Scowcroft (who replaced Kissinger), and the secretaries of state, treasury, defense, and agriculture (with the involvement of multinational food companies). Here is a direct quote: Reduced population growth rates clearly could bring significant relief over the longer term...." - Byron J. Richards, Fight for Your Health: Exposing the FDA's Betrayal of America (Get the book.)

"Marshall, the national security futurist, is out searching for America's enemies, predicting scenarios that we must take seriously. Marshall's job is to deliver the news ahead of time. At that point, it's up to the branches of government to assess and prepare accordingly. "Two very simple events triggered the report," said Peter Schwartz, a Central Intelligence Agency consultant and former head of planning at Royal Dutch/Shell Group, in a telephone interview with me.7 He, along with Doug Randall of the California-based Global Business Network, coauthored the Pentagon report." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.)

"Ethiopia's environmental refugee crisis shows how, over the long run, soil security is national security. Recognition of Wangari Maathai with the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize for her work on environmental restoration in Ethiopia's countryside shows that environmental refugees, who now outnumber political refugees, are an emerging global concern. People may endure temporary droughts, but desertification forces emigration once the land can no longer sustain either grazing or farming. Desertification is not just happening in Africa." - David R. Montgomery, Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"Military forces able to defend the cause of freedom in Vietnam and to counter other threats to national security require substantial resources. Yet we cannot permit the defense of freedom abroad to sidetrack the struggle for individual growth and dignity at home," added Johnson. Vice President Hubert Humphrey joined in, saying that America "can afford to extend freedom at home at the same time that it defends it abroad."6 "The United States is not faced—nor could it be faced—with a guns and butter choice. . . ." - William Bonner, Addison Wiggin, Empire of Debt: The Rise of an Epic Financial Crisis (Get the book.) "Garrett leaves us another interesting quote from the period: "Talk of imminent threat to our national security through the application of external force is pure nonsense," said General Douglas MacArthur. "Indeed it is a part of the general pattern of misguided policy that our country is now geared to an arms economy which was bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and nurtured upon an incessant propaganda of fear." - William Bonner, Addison Wiggin, Empire of Debt: The Rise of an Epic Financial Crisis (Get the book.) "But then, as he points out, neither did Kennedy or national security Advisor McGeorge Bundy, or military advisor General Maxwell Taylor. The only people in the Western world who knew anything about Vietnam were the French. And the American team decided to ignore the French; they were losers. By this time, the French were becoming cynical of military affairs. Every war they had been involved in since the time of Napoleon had gone bad, even those they won. By contrast, every war America had fought—at least since the War between the States—had been a reasonable success." - William Bonner, Addison Wiggin, Empire of Debt: The Rise of an Epic Financial Crisis (Get the book.)

"Research results that were obtained by federal funding must be fully disclosed (other than those involving national security). • Government employees, including elected officials, must provide full disclosure of any ties to private corporations, including any financial holdings in such corporations. (No investments in private corporations while in off ice... NONE.) • Laws allowing direct to consumer advertising of prescription medication should be repealed." - Brent Hoadley, Ph.D., Too Profitable to Cure (Get the book.)

"Under the guise of protecting trade secrets and in the name of national security, public access to scientific research has been a guarded enterprise. As a Chinese proverb notes, a way of looking is a way of not looking. U.S. Army Captain Robert Kehoe, on assignment for the Office of Strategic Services, June 1944, to interview leading German scientists, accompanied by a senior German researcher, possibly Ferdinand Flury." - Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.) "In the Allied countries, national security concerns during World War II combined with industrial trade secrets to keep this information from the public. As laboratory evidence began to accumulate that smoking, asbestos, coal tar and other industrial agents threatened health, industry repeatedly cautioned against confusing such experimental evidence with proof that human harm would really take place. In a sardonic commentary in the Lancet in 1958, Evarts Graham admitted that absolute proof of human hazards may never be obtained." - Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.)

"In some places, vast detention camps will spring up, designed to handle a large influx of lawbreakers, troublemakers, and immigrants, illegal or otherwise, who will increasingly be seen as an unacceptable threat to national security. Where there is local resistance, force and other aggressive measures will be justified in the name of preventing "foreign agents," or terrorists, from gaining a foothold on U.S. soil, and even mild dissent will frequently trigger dramatic responses." - Michael J. Panzner, Financial Armageddon: Protecting Your Future from Four Impending Catastrophes (Get the book.)

"It's also critical to our national security to have local food sources. Essentially, you buy shares in a farm and you own the food and you come pick it up or it is delivered to you, depending on the structure of your CSA. You can go out and work on the farm, too, and pick food one day on a sort of farmer's holiday. Most require payment in advance, usually starting at about one-half or more shares, which can be a few hundred dollars. Sharry Smith of Tampa, Floria, visited Sweetwater Organic Community Farm once to help nurture her connection with the Earth." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.)

"We've been sold out by our politicians and members of corporate America in the name of national security. It's upside-down and it's a disgrace. Here's another reminder of U.S. intention from Major General Smedley Butler, "I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long." - David H. Rippe, Jared Rosen, The Flip: Turn Your World Around (Get the book.)

"Schools and other places where people come in close contact, like theatres, would also be closed. national security may become vulnerable; insurgency and terrorism might escalate. Entire cities may need to be quarantined. The estimated costs of a flu pandemic in the United States alone are 70 to 165 billion dollars. The global economy, so much a part of the twenty-first century, would shut down. In fact, super viral diseases are historically real." - J. E. Williams, Beating the Flu: The Natural Prescription for Surviving Pandemic Influenza and Bird Flu (Get the book.)

"Those who defend the use of torture often acknowledge the horror involved, but claim torture is necessary for national security or other important aims, like preventing terrorist attacks. There's one problem with their arguments: torture doesn't work. Professor Darius Rejali knows more about torture than nearly anyone else in the world, and his research shows conclusively that nearly all the arguments made in favor of torture are bogus." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"Which is the reason governments withold so much information from the public, even in peacetime, supposedly for reasons of "national security." national security implies the presence of an enemy. The ruling elite know that, if the voters had access to classified information, there likely would be a revolution—or at least a change of leadership. To them, the enemy is us. Those who feel that government should direct non-military scientific projects, such as the quest for cancer control, should ponder the significance of a report in the Los Angeles Times of December 6,1972." - G. Edward Griffin, World Without Cancer (Get the book.)

"Our elected leaders also need to recognize finally, if belatedly, that environmentalism can help to win the war on terror. When it comes to international diplomacy, we need carrots and sticks. Sound environmental policy, aimed at addressing both global warming as well as dependence on foreign oil and nuclear proliferation, can become one of our most powerful sticks. "Yes, there is an alternative to the Euro-wimps and the neocons, and it is the 'geo-greens,'" said Thomas L. Friedman in his January 30, 2005, New York Times column.13 I am a geo-green." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.)
