"Obama Calls on World to ‘Stand Up To’ North Korea” read the headline. The United States, Obama said, was determined to protect “the peace and security of the world.”
Shades of doublespeak, doublethink, 1984.
North Korea is a small place. China alone could snuff it out in a few minutes. Yet, the president of the US thinks that nothing less than the entire world is a match for North Korea.
We are witnessing the Washington gangsters construct yet another threat like Slobodan Milosevic, Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, John Walker Lindh, Hamdi, Padilla, Sami Al-Arian, Hamas, Mahkmoud Ahmadinejad, and the hapless detainees demonized by the US Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld as “the 700 most dangerous terrorists on the face of the earth,” who were tortured for six years at Gitmo only to be quietly released. Just another mistake, sorry.
The military/security complex that rules America, together with the Israel Lobby and the financial banksters, needs a long list of dangerous enemies to keep the taxpayers’ money flowing into its coffers" (more)
It's all about keeping the War/Empire machine going. Plundering the whole panet and leaving misery and smoldering skulls in it's wake.

True
Why aren’t people laughing their heads off?
Well, you see VAA, you have two repeatedly stupid pleas made by this country and others. One is the "evil enemy," and the other is "the people need to be liberated." They slide back and forth, and they are repeated over and over and over again, for hundreds of years now. So, the "evil one" is North Korea and the ones that need "liberating" are places like Afghanistan and Iraq, etc. However it really gets hard to distinguish, because these two types overlap - the "evil ones" are in the middle of the "people who need to be liberated." You must never forget who the white knight is, he is the one who brands the evil ones and points out the people who need liberating. The remedy is always the same indiscriminate war that kills everyone.
ReplyDelete"The Enemy of the Month Club" (Gore Vidal).
ReplyDeleteVidal was in a class of his own, to be sure. I always loved his comment to a New York Times writer (Michuko Kakatani, IIRC), who asked him if he hated America. His response: "No, I hate the New York Times which, as you may or may not realize, is not America." LOL...
ReplyDeleteThat is indeed an insightful comment by Vidal!!
ReplyDeleteWhat do think about judge Sotomayor, DO?
Personally, I liked it when Vidal called Buckley a "crypto-fascist"...lol
ReplyDeleteVidal was not off the mark about what he said ("crypto-facist"), because he knew that essentially the Nazis did not lose anything, they just has to move. As the American elite absorbed the technological largess and psychological warfare concepts of the Nazis - using the cover of the "knowledge" that they had regarding the communists was "useful." Vidal has said so for many years, and I think he is spot on -
