What we are witnessing in this hour is a New Imperialism. Iraq is reduced to rubble, and American corporations make a mint by rebuilding it. All of this, we are assured, is to benefit 'the People of Iraq. What we are witnessing in the shattered ruins of Iraq is the spoils of war; spoils that are the seeds of vast wealth. Of course, Administration officials are putting quite a different spin on this development. In a speech made several months ago before the conservative American Enterprise Institute, neoconservative thinker, Richard Perle observed, "What I think we have won on the battlefield is the right to try to establish consistent policies that are for the benefit of the people of Iraq." He hastened to add, "It's not that we are looking for anything for ourselves..." The U.S. role was described as a "stewardship" over the conquered territory. The U.S., of course, doesn't have to ‘look [...] for anything.' It already has what it wants. I guess you could make an argument that the administration is using the war as an opportunity to hand out more subsidies to American businesses (shutting out foreign bidders), but it's not like Iraq is all that great a prize as a market. Nor is Afghanistan. Yes, the war has been bullshit from the start, but someone does have to rebuild that country. hmmm...So all the Heroin and Opium in Afghanistan isn't big business. Billions in Oil and cheap labor in Iraq? Another Masterpiece. Well done!

But the Bush regime has used that fear, that anxiety, that sense of being under attack to stoke the fires of war and now the US is involved in building and protecting a colony in the heart of the Middle East. That's why. It isn't enough to simply say "bring the troops home" as some have said. For to do so only means bring them home today and unleash them on some other unsuspecting people tomorrow. That is the recipe for postponing war, not ending it. War is indeed big business, but it more than that. It is a social tool by which governments have always mobilized larger social forces for their political ends. The ends of government- what has this always been? Power Why do you think the Bushites have unleashed the somber Ashcroft upon the American people- a man who lost a senate election to a dead man is now the ultimate arbiter of who may exercise civil rights in this new era? one of my favorites...

The Pioneers of a Warless World are the Young Men (and Women) Who refuse military service. Albert Einstein. Possibly your interests blind you... Lincoln It is precisely that sense of internationalism that is needed now, to reclaim that high water mark of social activism and to turn away young folks from the mindless struggle for Empire. As capital is Globalized under the WTO and the IMF, the poor and working people, the majority of the people of this earth must be Globalized in Internationalism, and in defense of the many not the few. What is necessary for this to prevail. is the realization that this mad war in Iraq is in reality, a war against the future generation here. A war against education. A war against decent health care. A war against decent housing. And a war against good jobs which pay living wages. good information here. I like the intro and how the Media Controls the information and how bias they are.

Original from 1985. Shrouded I've had a notion since I was three, the devil's been after me I saw him on a billboard, and in the eyes of a snarling dog He knew when I was weak, had a way of making things look bleak and he'd love to see the sun shrouded by a blinding fog Chasing my shadow he moves in the dark fouling every rule to take hold but then when I ask to see the face of my enemy, wouldn't you know he wouldn't show It struck my funny that he would pass up a chance to sell his sickness to me and then I felt his fear and it became quite clear he's afraid of anything that's free he's afraid of my mind, he's afraid of me

"A nation that asks nothing of its government but the maintenance of order is already a slave at heart -- the slave of its own well-being, awaiting but the hand that will bind it. By such a nation the despotism of faction is not less to be dreaded than the despotism of an individual. When the bulk of the community is engrossed by private concerns, the smallest parties need not despair of getting the upper hand in public affairs. At such times it is not rare to see upon the great stages of the world, as we see at our theaters, a multitude represented by a few players, who alone speak in the name of an absent or inattentive crowd: they alone are in action whilst all are stationary; they regulate everything by their own caprice; they change the laws, and tyrannize at will over the manners of the country; and then wonder to see into how small a number of weak and worthless hands a great people may fall." [From: de Tocqueville, Alexis, *Democracy in America* [2 vols.] (New York: Bantam Classic, 2004) [orig. publ. 1835] ]

The pioneers of a warless world are the young men (and women) who refuse military service. Albert Einstein. "There is one powerful reason why the judicial system should not permit the execution of Mumia Abu-Jamal. The evidence is now overwhelming that there have been deadly errors made in sending prisoners to the death chamber. Again and again, it has turned out that prisoners pronounced guilty and sentenced to death have proved later to be innocent. In the case of Mumia Abu-Jamal, the evidence is conflicting, and there is certainly more than a reasonable doubt of his guilt. The history of executions in this country shows the system biased against poor people, people of color, and political activists. Mumia Abu-Jamal fits all three categories. To allow Mumia Abu-Jamal to die at the hands of the judicial system would be a terrible commentary on a system that claims to dispense "equal justice before the law." The whole world is watching to see if our country will live up to that claim." This is truly a Great job you've done here on spreading many of Mumia's cause's. I to have taken it upon myself in spreading this man's work to break any and all ill conceived ideas of who he is and what stands for. Another Masterpiece. Well done!

The Pioneers of a Warless World are the Young Men (and Women) Who refuse military service. Albert Einstein. Possibly your interests blind you... Lincoln This is a class-draft; a draft by another name of those who are unable to navigate the civilian economy. When you really look at it, the War in Iraq is ultimately a class war. Except the class that fights it didn't decide to fight, and isn't fighting in their class interest. While doubtless some kids are motivated by slick commercials and calls to patriotic duty, it is virtually assured that for many young folks, if they were born into a family of means, their patriotism would be displayed by flags unfurled in their dorm rooms, or fluttering on the breeze outside their windows. If just more American people could see how there government lie and use your stupid people to go kill people and conquer other lands... well then we might see a nice world. As long USA goes hand in hand with Israel and trying to curve everyone .... it will be war in the world

The Senators cared about one thing: wealth. Rome was but a machine for wealth's manufacture. They were not the publicminded 'republicans' as popularly portrayed. They were a body which cared only about their own vast privileges. Given such history, is there any wonder why the Americans sought a senatorial form of government? They were a 'republic', in name only. It was a State organized by wealth, of wealth, and for wealth — period. When we look at those who sit in today's Senate — this millionaire's club — how much of a difference does 2,000 years make? It is a democracy, in name; or even a democratic republic.

Lincoln As societies grow decadent, the language grows decadent, too. Words are used to disguise, not to illuminate, action: you liberate a city by destroying it. Words are to confuse, so that at election time people will solemnly vote against their own interests. Abu is right! Greetings from old Europe.

NOTE: The speaker uses WESTERNER just as it is dominant and convenient...; otherwise, it applies to all involved (including Muslims in some countries).

Veronica Lake, a Michigan-based environmental activist, has noted that corporations acquire the world's water by three major methods: a) by "water mining" the underground aquifers, or deep sources of many of the world's streams or rivers; b) by leasing state and government water systems and collecting revenues; and c) by "managing" city water systems.

Brzezinski: Yes. According to the official version of history, CIA aid to the Mujahadeen began during 1980, that is to say, after the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan, 24 Dec 1979. But the reality, secretly guarded until now, is completely otherwise: Indeed, it was July 3, 1979 that President Carter signed the first directive for secret aid to the opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul. And that very day, I wrote a note to the president in which I explained to him that in my opinion this aid was going to induce a Soviet military intervention. Truly his videos are very informative. Thanks

Fascism. The very word evokes dark, menacing images of troops, marching in lockstep, in support of a terrible, malevolent ideology. In a word, it suggests the followers of Mussolini in Italy, or Hitler in Germany. To most of us, its very mention suggests its foreign nature; its Otherness. Therein lies its danger. For, because it is seen as a foreign ideology, the inevitable idea arises: "It can't happen here." Those who say this, either don't know, or don't want to know, American history. They prefer the safe myths, to the ugly truths of how this country came to be what it is. What is fascism? In short, it is the merger of state and corporate interests. Fascism is more than a funny-sounding word; it is dyed deep into the fabric of American life; and creeps forward today, under cover of 'Law.'
