This seems more appropriate for Infowars or Godlike productions, especially your use of such acronyms as 'MIC' - a shorthand for 'men in charge' rather than any actual organization. Standardizing the terminology of conspiracy theories is a substitute for testing and validation.
I dispute your CIA conspiracy theory and suggest such extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, which you have failed to provide and which is not supported by the historical record. Also, I'm not American and didn't grow up here, so please don't fall back on the usual counterargument that I'm too conditioned to see what you have convinced yourself to be obvious.

Yeah, so you really are unaware of what has happened in the US. Everything I said IS a part of "historical Record" -- but not the one you'll find on CNN or FOX. You'll actually have to do some investigation and discovery.
Start with Smedley Butler, Operation Paperclip and work from there.
I'd be happy to lay out more info - and you can find some in my comment history.
Just because YOU have no idea what happened doesn't mean that what I say is false, nor that it is suddenly my job to educate you.
MIC: Military industrial complex. It is a real thing.
It is not 'a real thing.' It is an opinion (a perfectly valid one, I might add) about socio-political structures. There are many such lobbies in the body politic, and the existence of such sociopolitical factions have been observed by writers from Aristotle onwards. Cozy relationships, mutual interests, and even corruption falls far short of the sort of coup you purport to describe.

Not in the least - I read War is a racket and studied the Business Conspiracy many long years ago, thank you. You are the one making the case for an overarching conspiracy, it's up to you to offer up evidence for it. Namechecking this or that data point in history with no attempt at perspective isn't evidence, it's handwaving; and responding to requests for evidence with accusations of ignorance isn't argument, it's propaganda.
I do not object to your criticizing this government or government institutions in general, but I am sick to the back teeth of your axe-grinding, crappy sources, and empty arguments. Pardon my bluntness, but you're an outrage junkie. You like being angry about 'how bad things are' to the extent that you have adopted it as a premise.
