“We must never let the weight of this Military Industrial Complex endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. *Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry* can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.” - President Dwight D Eisenhower https://www.propublica.org/article/trump-administration-financial-disclosures-steve-feinberg
