The Iron Pentagon: The Nexus of Control, Corruption, and Suppression – How Mass Involuntary Dissentients Are Created.
In 1981, Gordon Adams published the ‘The Iron Triangle: The Politics of Defense Contracting.’
The article described the iron triangle as a policy-making relationship between congress, the federal bureaucracy, and interest groups working together to consolidate power and expand their political influence.
Forty years later, America’s political landscape has become more multifaceted due to the internet, globalization, and financialization. The iron triangle no longer addresses the network intricacies and the implications to society.
The Iron Pentagon
Updating the iron triangle for the current political landscape expands it into a multi-dimensional pentagon. The Iron Pentagon nodes are the Federal Government, Non-Profits, Federal Reserve and Wall Street, Big Tech, and Mainstream Media. These colluding entities erode personal freedom, personal property, real property, and intellectual property rights that are the four pillars of modern Western society. The Iron Pentagon entraps the populace stripping their agency and transferring their wealth.
Federal Government
Executive Orders ride roughshod over Congresses Constitutional authority and our civil liberties. President Biden, the usurper, has signed 50 executive orders setting a record pace. For example, Biden binding America to the Paris Climate Accord skipping Congressional approval as a treaty. The Heritage Foundation estimated “an aggregate GDP loss of over $2.5 trillion – all for a few tenths of a degree Celsius in abated warming.” America is sliding into an autocracy.
The DOJ, FBI, CIA, and IRS report to the Executive Branch are an unelected shadow government. A modern Praetorian Guard who are covert and act in concert to protect the elite politicians and their partisan supporters. For example, through civil litigation records, the Stasi agencies were aware about Hunter Biden’s Rosemont Seneca foreign bribery scandal as late as 2018. Money funneled to attorneys protected recipients’ identities using client-attorney privilege. The FBI also had Hunter’s laptop from Hell left unclaimed at a computer repair shop in 2019.
Consider how the government increases in size and power. Congress uses large and complex Omnibus bills for appropriations, regulations, and law to bypass hearings and debates. The majority party uses lobbyists (influence peddlers) to assist in drafting, and the legislation is available for at least 72 hours before a vote. Titles are ambiguous to obscure the content from the public, i.e., $2 trillion Cares Act (880 pages).
The National Security State consists of the CIA, NSA, Homeland Security, the Defense Department, and the corporate military-industrial complex that exercises substantial political and economic power. The Security State conducts domestic mass surveillance while ignoring waves of unwelcomed immigrants swarming over the border.
Biden’s Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has declared a culture war by a Soviet-style military purge using a fictitious claim of white supremacist extremists and requiring Marxist critical race theory indoctrination. The unchecked Security State will eventually be a more significant threat than foreign adversaries.
Involuntary Dissent
The government and its affiliates are lawless entities, making the truth treasonous.
Citizens have lost faith in American leadership and governance.
Questioning the elite sociopaths’ and kleptocrats’ philosophies, motives, and actions may make you an involuntary dissentient.
