From a Fabric of Suspicion: The U.S. Constitution and Other Founding Dilemmas

Abstract

Patterns in state crimes against democracy in US domestic politics in the post-World War II era suggest that military and intelligence operatives have formed enduring networks that are intervening strategically in American politics with SCADs to promote belligerence in foreign affairs and vigilance internally against domestic dissent, counter-cultural art and philosophy, and movements for isolationism, peace, and nuclear disarmament. However, the precise nature and institutional location of SCAD networks remains unclear, as does the ideology that binds and motivates SCAD operatives to take innocent lives and put their own lives at risk.
