Bill LaPlante, the Pentagon’s chief weapons-buyer (“Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment”) spoke on November 4th at the neoconservative-neoliberal George Mason University, near the Pentagon, and announced that soon after the next Congress becomes elected on November 8th, the existing Congress will overwhelmingly vote to grant to America’s weapons-manufacturers the blank checks that they’ve been seeking in order for the U.S. Government to defeat both China’s Government (regarding Taiwan) and Russia’s Government (regarding Ukraine). He was accompanied there by James P. Woolsey, the President of Defense Acquisition University, in the Acquisition office at the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense, who also spoke there.
In the aftermath of yesterday’s mid-term elections, the only good news is that we have essentially paused some elements of the Democrats’ agenda of total destruction by taking control of the House (as is currently projected but not yet called). This alone will pause the Democrats’ legislative and executive monopoly over America, and it gives the American people a bit of breathing room to try to adjust to the disturbing reality of what’s coming next.
