60 Minutes seems to have the best timing in the world.

here is the piece
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/whos-minding-the-nuclear-weapons/
Sunday Night 60 minutes ran a piece on the aging fleet of nuclear icbms the US has in the midwest.
Perfect timing considering the talk of a nuclear war with Russia.
Also the talk of needing to spend billions to upgrade the fleet, sort of ease the public mind...uh oh, nuclear war with Russia is a possibility, our missiles are in disrepair...we need to spend a few hundred billion or else
Seems suspicious to me.

"Beware the military industrial complex." I dont think he could have been any more clear. Heh.

This may interest you:
Geoffrey Perret, in his biography of Eisenhower, claims that, in one draft of the speech, the phrase was "military–industrial–congressional complex", indicating the essential role that the United States Congress plays in the propagation of the military industry, but the word "congressional" was dropped from the final version to appease the then-currently elected officials.

the MIC has grown into the Public-Private-Military-Media-Industrial-Intelligence-Congressional Complex (PMIC2 )

"It is the function, I suggest, of the CIA, with its 50 de-stabilization programs going around the world today, to keep the world unstable, and to propagandize the American people to hate, so we will let the establishment spend any amount of money on arms.”
--Former CIA Officer John Stockwell, 1987

Nuclear seems to be the thing I'm noticing popping up everywhere these days. From Obama mentioning a nuke being dropped on Manhattan to stories about high people involved in handling the nukes being fired or losing their positions.
If you believe in the idea about preparing the people's mindset and inserting these things into the general consciousness of society before they happen then I'd be worrying about a nuclear incident in the upcoming year or two.

Well if you count Fukushima and the effects it's having/will have in the coming years (and you should), then there is already an unprecedented nuclear incident for us all to be worried about. Not least of all because of how widespread and complete the cover-up has been in the global MSM.
Edit: Though I do agree with the rest of your comment - it seems we're being "primed" for something.

You better drink that milk before it goes bad... You better eat that fruit before it rots... You better launch those warheads before they're outdated.

This wouldn't be the first time sixty minutes promoted military spending, they did it for that new fighter plane that was kind of a flop

They are promoting a new cold war with the Russians.
It's all about taxing and keeping the farm animals scared.

60 Minutes has been spewing a lot of pro-government, pro-NSA, pro-CIA,pro-Wall Street propaganda lately. It's no longer a credible news organizationl

Be careful, people might question you sanity with statements like that. You are not allowed to be critical in your thinking. The real world does not like people asking questions or not following what the tv has told them. But yes, its always about money, we live in a capitalistic society, everything is about money!
