Product Information
The Trillion Dollar Silencer investigates the astounding lack of popular protest at the death and destruction that the military industrial complex is inflicting on people, nations, and the environment, and its budget-draining costs. Where is the antiwar protest by progressives, libertarians, environmentalists, civil rights advocates, academics, clergy, community volunteers, artists, et al? This book will focus on how military largesse infests such public sectors' interests. Contractors and bases serve as the economic hubs of their regions. State and local governments are intertwined with the DoD; some states have Military Departments. National Guard annual subsidies are large. Joint projects include aid to state environmental departments for restoration, and government-environmental organization teams to create buffer zones for bombing ranges. Economic development commissions aim to attract military industries and keep the existing bases and corporations. Veterans Administration hospitals are boons to their communities. Universities, colleges, and faculty get contracts and grants from the DoD and its agencies, such as the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. The Minerva Initiative. Reserve Officers' Training Corps programs are subsidized by the DoD. Civilian jobs in the DoD provide opportunities for scientists, engineers, policy analysts, and others. Every kind of business and nonprofit, including environmental and charitable organizations like The Nature Conservancy and Goodwill Industries feeds at the DoD trough via contracts and grants. Individuals, arts institutions, charities, churches, and universities succumb to the profitability of military-related investments. Pension funds of public and private employees are replete with military stocks. Philanthropy is another silencer. The DoD itself donates equipment to organizations, especially those of youth, and lends equipped battalions to Hollywood. The weapons firms give generously to the arts and charities, heavily to youth and minorities. They also initiate joint programs such as providing tutors and mentors for robotics teams in public schools. Our militarized economy is destructive and wasteful. How can we replace the multitude of dependencies on military funding and restore the boundary between it and civil society? Surely a first step is to see how military spending results in the complicity of civil society in its pernicious outcomes. That is what this book tries to reveal.

"It is perhaps the most fraught question of our time, whatever happened to the anti-war movement? In an era of forever wars, when the body counts of civilians mount daily in countries most Americans can't spell or pinpoint on a map, when the expenditures for war-making and weaponry devour ever-larger chucks of the federal budget, miring the country in debt and foreclosing the opportunity to invest in deepening social and environmental crises, why have the once robust and rowdy voices for peace gone silent? In this provocative and illuminating book, Joan Roelofs penetrates deep into the inner-workings of the vast political economy of war-making, revealing how the arms cartel has consolidated its power, captured our political system, infiltrated the media and stifled dissent. At a perilous moment in history, Roelofs has given us a call to action, loud and clear enough to awaken our anesthetized consciences." JEFFREY ST CLAIR Editor, CounterPunch, Author, Grand Theft Pentagon, "How is the ruling dispensation of US able to justify a trillion-dollar annual military budget to its own people? A new book by American political scientist Joan Roelofs, provocatively titled THE TRILLION DOLLAR SILENCER: Why There Is So Little Anti-War Protest in the United States (Clarity Press, 2023), provides a panoramic picture of the extent of penetration and entanglement of the US domestic economy and civil society by the military establishment. ...for individuals and collectives who are already politically initiated and opposed to the US imperialist war machine, the present book would be of immense help to widen the cracks of this mighty system..." MANALI CHAKRABARTI, Research Unit for Political Economy, India, "In her remarkable book, The Trillion Dollar Silencer, Professor Joan Roelofs helps us see how Swinton's characterization of the members of the establishment press is actually applicable to all of us members of U.S. society. She shows how our best instincts and our true voices are coopted, silenced or put to use by corporate power and especially by the military industrial complex such that we are silent in the face of our amazingly brutal and menacing military establishment." PAUL SHANNON, former staff member, American Friends Service and Board Member, Massachusetts Peace Action., " The Trillion Dollar Silencer is a masterful primer on an institution - the United States military -- that has literally thousands of facets and functions, and about a thousand billion dollars each year to support its role in preparing for and making war around the world. Rich in explanatory images, charts and maps, the pieces of the puzzle that Joan Roelofs identifies are so many and so complex that even the most informed readers will learn something in every chapter. The book's central question is how the military industrial complex has been able to acquire so many taxpayer dollars year after year and so much cultural assent to its overwrought, violent mission. The answers she gives will help us to reverse our otherwise continuing deadly and expensive course." CATHARINE LUTZ, Professor Emerita of Anthropology and International Studies, Co-Director, Costs of War Project, Brown University, The Trillion Dollar Silencer is a powerful and insightful contribution to understanding the mechanisms behind the lack of antiwar sentiment in the United States. It catalyzes critical thinking, informed action, and a sustained commitment to fostering a more peaceful and just world. Roelofs' work invites readers to question the intricacies of the military-industrial complex, providing a nuanced perspective that goes beyond conventional analyses. As an academic resource, it encourages ongoing discourse on the complex relationships between the military and civilian sectors and on the imperative for societal awareness and change.? ? Patrick Hiller, Peace & Change|9781949762587|, "Joan Roelofs' book The Trillion Dollar Silencer: Why There Is So Little Anti-War Protest in the United States provides valuable information and analysis on the military-industrial complex and its influence in stifling anti-war dissent--at a time that it is most urgently needed. Read this book and share it widely so that people in the U.S. can better understand that the real enemy is not Russia or China, but greedy and corrupt "merchants of death" that have destroyed U.S. democracy, as Dwight Eisenhower warned us many years ago." -Jeremy Kuzmarov, Managing editor, CovertAction Magazine., "Professor Roelofs's book The Trillion Dollar Silencer charts the extent to which military funding and propaganda infest and influence virtually every state and public sector. Roelofs's revelatory little book itemizes all the many vectors along which this pervasive influence is exercised...." J AMES HEDDIE, GlobalResearch.ca, "Now, sixty-one years down the road, Joan Roelofs repeats and elaborates on Eisenhower's warning. Where Eisenhower's words were brief and prophetic, Roelofs' are more comprehensive, something like a catalog of a system so immense that it poisons democracy and silences dissent at all levels of society." ARNE ALPERT, Campaign Nonviolence, Joan Roelofs' new book [1] "The Trillion Dollar Silencer": Why Is So Little Anti-War Protest in the United States (Atlanta: Clarity Press, 2022), begins with an important question: "Why is there so much acceptance and so much little protest against our government's illegal and immoral wars and other military operations"? Her answer is simple and convincing: Money. While successful propaganda, fear, and distraction are important, the military industrial complex that Dwight Eisenhower warned about in his 1961 farewell address has penetrated so deeply into American life that much of the public has essentially gone into acquiescence. Roelofs writes that "the economic impact of the military-industrial complex is a highly effective silencer." -Diário Causa Operária, "A new and much needed book that explains much about praise and support for the U.S. military. The Trillion Dollar Silencer, provides a travelogue of sorts through the U.S. military-industrial complex. It moves from the military establishment and big corporations to colleges, universities, NGOs, philanthropies, foundations research institutes, and other kinds of defense contractors....Now is exactly the right time for her highly recommended book." -W.T. WHITNEY, Counterpunch, "The world's leading weapons dealer and warmaker, the United States, may also have the least popular resistance to militarism. Why the quiet acceptance? This book helps us to become aware that darn near every inch of U.S. society has been infiltrated by the normalization or celebration of war preparations, that essentially our culture, not just our elected officials, has been bought. This book also provides guidance on what we can do about it." DAVID SWANSON, Executive Director of World Beyond War and author of War Is A Lie, "One main reason there is so little anti-war protest in the U.S. is that military spending, which represents more than half of the federal government's discretionary budget, is spread throughout the economy to big corporations, contractors, universities, state and local governments, and nonprofit organizations. While there are huge human, economic, and environmental costs, many Americans benefit in the short term." -New Labor Forum, City University of New York, "The major ideas set forth in this groundbreaking work need to be considered by anyone who has, or does, take part in antiwar protest." Howard Lisnoff, CounterPunch.org, "Why is there so much acceptance of, and so little protest against, our war policies and all the other tactics of subversion employed by the military-intelligence-industrial complex to sustain hegemony? While the peace movement answers this question with reference to propaganda, fear and distractions, this book focuses on the enormity of the war machine's penetration into numerous aspects of civilian life. The sections in the book on this penetration into philanthropy, nonprofit organizations and NGO's are probably the most eye-popping portions of the book. Roelofs shows that the real goal is the construction of "the normal" in ways functional to the interests of the Pentagon, unconventional warfare institutions and military contractors." PAUL SHANNON, Executive Committee of Mass[achusetts] Peace Action, "Thorough and ample in modes and scope of information, The Trillion Dollar Silencer contains explanatory images, graphs, charts, and maps to aid and augment understanding for all types and levels of readers. The book joggles the mind in many aspects and brings an awareness to the gravity of the military-industrial hegemony." -Politics Today
