Boilerplate gibberish for sure. The State Department is just a tiny branch of the Pentagon, a sales agent for the military-industrial-congressional complex.

In Jared Diamond's "Collapse" he writes about the monolithic statues on Easter Island; how they were emblems of power that served as backdrops to the thrones of the 5 warlords who competed with each other, and who pumped more and more money into the sculpture factories. At the moment that the last tree was cut down on Easter Island, ensuring the collapse of that ecology, of that civilization, there were more monoliths in progress in the factories than had been made in the 500 years before.
