In the counsels of government

In the counsels 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 misplace power exists, and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic process.
-President Eisenhower's Farewell Adress, January 1961
