It's Deja Vu All Over Again

By Liberty Report Staff

H.L. Mencken observed very astutely:

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

While reading through an old piece from Patrick Buchanan from April 2, 2010, one finds the following:

"Diplomacy has failed," Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., told AIPAC, "Iran is on the verge of becoming nuclear and we cannot afford that."

"We have to contemplate the final option," said Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind., "the use of force to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon."

War is a "terrible thing," said Sen. Lindsay Graham, R-S.C., but "sometimes it is better to go to war than to allow the Holocaust to develop a second time."

Danielle Pletka of the American Enterprise Institute, Neocon Central, writes, "The only questions remaining, one Washington politico tells me, are who starts it, and how it ends."

Think about today.

Replace Iran with North Korea.

It's the same script.

​Mencken was right....constant alarm.

The military-industrial-complex has Americans wrapped around its finger.
