No, I'm not talking about Egypt, Iraq, or Afghanistan or, frankly, most of the planet that is inhabited by human beings. I am talking about the contiguous states of the continental U.S.
We are living under military occupation. A military occupation that maintains a stranglehold upon our economy; a military occupation that functions through civilian surrogates in the so-called "defense" and "security" industries. Call it, in the words of President Eisenhower, the military-industrial-complex. Call it whatever you like: just make sure that you understand that the people of the United States are not free. We are living under military occupation and, consequently, under the constraints imposed by what Seymour Melman once termed "the permanent war economy."
The "Occupation Movement" will not succeed until it becomes a "De-militarization Movement," or, in other words, an "Anti-Military Occupation Movement."
