Absolute, unchallengable global dominance - is the mantra of the US
ruling elite and their "intelligence" service - the nsa/cia.
They control the bulk of the US news media - so they're able to a large
extent to control what the American people think. The fact that many
Americans feel that the US invasion/occupation of Iraq is a legitimate
aspect of an honest "War on Terror" - testifies to their success.
Fortunately their curtain is beginning to crumble as more and more
people are
getting wise to their scams. Their insatiable hunger for more and more
(money and power) - makes them very much like the morbidly obese people
who are occassionally written about in supermarket tabloids. The poor
bastards are sick. How many thousand million (billion) dollars would
be enough for you? How many people dying of hunger each day
(currently 25,000) would be too many for you if you were a king of the
world?
Very soon, the poor sick bastards will fall from power (and all the
kings horses and all the kings men, won't be able to get their
incredibly huge ***** up again). ;-)
"When a leader of a country refuses to cooperate with economic hit men
like Perkins, the jackals from the CIA are called in. Perkins said that
both Omar Torrijos of Panama and Jaime Boldos of Ecuador -- both men he
worked with - refused to play the game with the U.S. and both were cut
down by the CIA -- Torrijos when his airplane blew up, and Roldos when
his helicopter exploded, within three months of each other in 1981.
If the CIA jackals don't do the job, then the U.S. Marines are sent
in... [as] "racketeers for capitalism."

"One reason that propaganda often works better on the educated than on
the uneducated is that educated people read more, so they receive more
propaganda. Another is that they have jobs in management, media, and
academia and therefore work in some capacity as agents of the
propaganda system--and they believe what the system expects them to
believe. By and large, they're part of the privileged elite, and share
the interests and perceptions of those in power. " Noam Chomsky

Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky demolish one of the central tenets of
our political culture, the idea of the "liberal media." Instead,
utilizing a systematic model based on massive empirical research, they
reveal the manner in which the news media are so subordinated to
cor****ate and conservative interests that their function can only be
described as that of "elite propaganda."
"If you want to understand the way a system works, you look at its
institutional structure. How it is organized, how it is controlled,
how it is funded." -Noam Chomsky
"The Mainstream media really represent elite interests, and what the
propaganda model tries to do is stipulate a set of institutional
variables, reflecting this elite power, that very powerfully influence
the media." -Edward Herman
======================
"Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience.
Our problem is that numbers of people all over the world have obeyed
the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war,
and millions have been killed because of this obedience. . . Our
problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of
poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem
is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves,
and all the while the grand thieves are running the country. That's our
problem."
Howard Zinn, "Failure to Quit", p. 45
"The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the
growth of private power to the point where it becomes stronger than the
democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism - owner****p of
government by an individual, by a group or any controlling private
power." : President Franklin Delano Roosevelt
"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and
causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of the
war, cor****ations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high
places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavour
to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until
all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is
destroyed." : Abraham Lincoln - 1865

"Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible
government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to
the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy
alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first
task of the statesman****p of today." : President Theodore Roosevelt -
1906

"A great industrial Nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our
system of credit is
concentrated. The growth of the Nation and all our activities are in
the hands of a few men.
"We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most
completely controlled and dominated Governments in the world - no
longer a Government of free opinion, no longer a Government by
conviction and vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion
and duress of small groups of dominant men." : Woodrow Wilson - From
his Campaign Speeches, 1912
=
"The developed nations of the world cannot remain secure islands of
prosperity in a seething sea of poverty. The storm is rising against
the privileged minority of the earth, from which there is no shelter in
isolation and armament. The storm will not abate until a just
distribution of the fruits of the earth enables men everywhere to live
in dignity and human decency."
Martin Luther King, Jr
