Is a New Political System Emerging in This Country?

6. I think the National Security State is actually the ruling branch of our government.

It's a branch that is not voted into power and remains largely unchanged regardless of changing political party leadership. When's the last time a President 'cleaned house' and replaced the entrenched bureaucrats of the NSC? The NSC has tremendous power because it has the goods on all the politicians, it knows their secrets. The fact that the CIA actually eavesdropped on the Senate committee investigating it should tell the American people who has the power. American's have been frightened into accepting a government where 'state secrets' are necessary forever, to keep us safe from unidentified threats. We have no way of knowing the quality of this secret protection, it's a secret and cannot be reviewed by an open, elected representative body in full view of the American public.
