Have you ever wondered what was the hashtag Reagan Revolution about?

  • August 15, 2024

Well, I guess it all depends on whether you are a smart and objective analyst or viewed it through the eyes of the liberal media.

To make a long story short, Reagan had two goals. The first was to end the “stagflation” that forced the US economy to pay for economic growth with higher inflation. Once the US economy was repaired, Reagan’s second goal was to use the power of the US economy to end the Cold War.

Reagan accomplished both of his goals, and he has not been given any credit for it.

The CIA argued that the Soviets would win an arms race because their economy was centrally planned and could put more resources in the military than could Reagan. Reagan believed the Soviet economy was broken and could not be fixed. The secret presidential committee, after reading the CIA’s analysis and interviewing CIA officials, concluded that Reagan was right. The committee told Reagan that the CIA was protecting its budget and power by trying to prevent the end of the Cold War.

I am afraid that Americans today still do not understand how many influential institutions have an interest in war and how few have an interest in peace. What do you think the political campaign contributions from peace groups are compared to those of the military/security complex?

Ask yourself why Washington has wasted billions and billions of dollars in such immoral uses as funding a proxy war in #Ukraine, #Israel and many other parts of the world when, all the while, US infrastructure is hurting, when homelessness on our cities’ streets is growing, when health care is substandard and unavailable to many, and when Washington’s open borders policy is bringing in 3.6 million people annually that need support for housing, food, medical care, and education. The war lobby rules over every other budget category.

Look at the eight years of Hell the military/security complex put Trump through just because he said he was going to “normalize relations with Russia.” The last thing the military/security complex can afford is to have their enemy taken away.

War has a grip on America. It is Washington’s main purpose. Every tension-reducing agreement 20th century US presidents made with the Soviet Union was repealed beginning with #Clinton in the 1990s and completed by George W. #Bush, #Obama, #Trump, and #Biden.

It is extraordinary that the United States rapidly disintegrating into a tower of babel is simultaneously provoking conflict with #Russia, #Iran, and #China. Clearly, Washington’s priority is the same as that of the military/security complex. Washington’s agenda is war. The Cold War that Reagan ended has been resurrected and is entering a hot phase.

An afterthought: Would Reagan be arrested today and indicted for endangering US national security by trying to make peace with Russia?
