The Cancer Of The National-Security State by Jacob Hornberger (with an important afterword by Yours Truly) Suppose that after you visit your doctor for a physical examination, he informs you that you are suffering from the following ailments: A stiff knee, which requires six months of physical therapy. Being overweight, which requires a big change in diet. Kidney problems, which require you to give up drinking. A growing malignant tumor on your stomach that can be removed by surgery. The doctor recommends that you give priority to ailment 4, but you instead decide to give priority to the first three ailments. At the end of six months, you have resolved your knee problem, you have brought your weight down to an acceptable level, and you have totally given up drinking. At your six-month review, your doctor commends you on your accomplishments. There is just one big problem, however. Your malignant tumor has grown so large that it can no longer be removed. Worse, the cancer has spread throughout your body. Your doctor advises you to get your affairs in order because you only have three months to live. That’s the situation that the American people face with respect to the society in which we live. There are multiple problems facing our nation. But the biggest one is the national-security state form of governmental structure under which we have been living for some 75 years.
