The alternatives will not get a fair hearing as long as the country keeps on a war basis. The USA never really left off making war since the dropping of the A-bomb(s). Just because no more have been delivered doesn't mean it's not the ultimate control mechanism, pulled out and waved around when the MIC sees it's losing money.

We've been pushed economically and psychologically to accept this insane state of affairs for over half a century. All of the voices of wisdom who offered alternatives to the promoted ways of thinking have been killed with bullets or media lynchings.
