For the past three years, I have dreamed of putting together this conference, and it is now about to become a reality. It's being held at the Dulles Marriott, which is located about 3 minutes from Dulles Airport in northern Virginia. Price: $99, including coffee and tea, lunch, an appetizer break, and a speaker line-up that will absolutely blow your socks off.

This conference will focus on the origins, policies, and practices of the national security state, the oversized role that it is plays in America's federal governmental structure, and the adverse consequences that have flowed from the decision after World War II to convert America from a constitutional republic to a national-security state. Things like regime-change operations, assassinations, coups, invasions, and secret surveillance will be examined.
