Eisenhower Warning about the Military-Industrial Complex, set to music
Using Udio.com for the music, I created this musical rendition of President Dwight D. Eisenhower's warning about the military-industrial complex, from his farewell speech to the American people.
In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex.
The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted.
Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.
