The concept of US led nuclear power is a security fantasy started by the Eisenhower administration to exert control over the bomb
Parry-Giles 2006 (Shawn, “Dwight D. Eisenhower, ‘Atoms for Peace’ (8 December 1953).” Voices of Democracy, http://umvod.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/parry-giles-eisenhower.pdf
With the final version…the same policies

And this apocalypse management seeks to gain permanent unchanging control over world events in order to create security but every attempt at total control highlights new weaknesses that in turn reify the need for apocalypse management making all of the 1AC impacts inevitable
Chernus 2008  ( Ira, professor of religious studies University of Colorado, “Apocalypse Management: Eisenhower and the Discourse of National Insecurity”, Stanford University Press, p. 218-9)
The New Look intensified images… power and influence

In order to secure ourselves we empower the state to seek stability but the only thing the state succeeds at creating is insecurity. This perpetual stability seeking by the national insecurity state justifies unending violence to secure us from instability
Chernus 2008  ( Ira, professor of religious studies University of Colorado, “Apocalypse Management: Eisenhower and the Discourse of National Insecurity”, Stanford University Press, p. 238-9)

Ultimately, though, apocalypse management… ever more insecure,'

Additionally the affirmative claims of solving crises without eliminating the underlying discursive framework assures that we will seek out new crises to manage in the future, turning the case
Chernus 2008  ( Ira, professor of religious studies University of Colorado, “Apocalypse Management: Eisenhower and the Discourse of National Insecurity”, Stanford University Press, p. 227-8)

Aiming at perfect control, Eisenhower's… and insecurity.
The only alternative is for us as individuals to critique the discourse of the national insecurity state and its apocalypse management and reject the discursive frames that give rise to our fundamental insecurity
Chernus 2008  ( Ira, professor of religious studies University of Colorado, “Apocalypse Management: Eisenhower and the Discourse of National Insecurity”, Stanford University Press, p. 239)

Public language is the matrix… security in the future/
