2025-01-17 19:04:51Biden's parting warning - Tom Woods Newsletter https://mailchi.mp/tomwoods/dalmystery?e=9d40653d66 > As Joe Biden has begun his fade into oblivion, to be loved in the future only by historians with their useless and laughable rankings of the presidents, he shared with us some farewell remarks. > George Washington, he is not. > Among many other things, he said: > President Eisenhower spoke of the dangers of the military industrial complex. He warned us then about "the potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power. End of quote." Six decades later, I'm equally concerned about the potential rise of a tech-industrial complex that could pose real dangers for our country as well. Americans are being buried under an avalanche of misinformation and disinformation, enabling the abuse of power. The free press is crumbling, editors are disappearing. Social media is giving up on fact checking. The truth is smothered by lies told for power and for profit. Reality is stranger than fiction. Whoever is writing Biden's material has no sense of irony. originally posted at https://stacker.news/items/854044
