''Now that ziofascists are top dog among the corporate fascist oligarchy, the zionist occupied “left” is not interested in resistence. To quote chomsky: “it wouldn’t be useful”. '' Context.

“The only thing missing from this picture is a grassroots political movement organized specifically to demand an end to the Permanent War State. Such a movement could establish firm legal restraints on the institutions that threaten American Democratic institutions through a massive educational and lobbying effort. This is the right historical moment to harness the latent anti-militarist sentiment in the country to a conscious strategy for political change.”

One can thank zionists for infiltrating and co-opting the movements and orgs that would have resisted this ziofascism/fascism for the current lack of resistance. Now that ziofascists are top dog among the corporate fascist oligarchy, the zionist occupied “left” is not interested in resistence. To quote chomsky: “it wouldn’t be useful”.

Speaking of the military industrial complex Dick Cheney is back and you would think he just might reflect a bit that’s right he did, Obama is a one term President, I think I get it.

no, u.s. cannot wage wars forever– only to a certain point of time. or until it destroys 5,6, 7, 8 bn people; leaving on planet, say, just a bn people or fewer!
that solves shortages of resources and further warmings.
then, if that’s not it? what’s up, then? is it insane sanity? fun and games? ultimate reality show caught on camera? ultimate sanity or ultimate insanity? tnx

Thanks, Garth, for this synopsis of some of the more salient features of the history of the evolution of the permanent war state. Two things missing, I think; (1) Clinton’s creation of the Joint Forces, which operates here, in America, under the same secret nodus operandi the CIA has always operated under elsewhere, and (2) if I read you correctly, you suggest (because of a purported lull in military funding) that the 1970′s saw U.S. militarism in decline. Yet, this is exactly the time the CIA continued its assiduous training of right-wing guerillas at what is now called the School of Americas in Bennington, Georgia, and used them to continue engineering coups such as the one that ousted (and ultimately killed) the democratically elected president of Chile, Salvador Allende and installed the arch psychopath, Augusto Pinochet. These details of history matter for two reasons: (1) supporters of the former leftist guerillas fighting the pacification of Mexico for foreign (read, American) business, the FMLN, are being targeted even today for reprisal and being murdered en masse, and this fact is (if the matter is ever discussed) being glossed over by the cover story that this activist cleansing is due to “drug wars.” (2) at this point in American military history, it’s either naive in the extreme, or plain old reprehensible, to suggest that we, the people, are ever told the truth about what our military does. By way of example, I’m sure most of your readers don’t understand that America is a closed, police state today (http://dontfearyourfreedom.blogspot.com/2010/05/i-am-not-terrorist-dont-take-my.html), which has been accessing for many decades, obviously. No statistic, or survey, is going to give you an accurate picture of the means and degree of persecution of American activists, and THOSE are the people whose liberty is the yardstick by which you must gauge the average American’s degree of liberty (to paraphrase Ghandi) because they are being repressed, terrorized and tortured right here (see #1, above) by the same methods as those being used in Mexico today. The average American doesn’t know these things because you, to whom they now look for accurate information, do not tell them. One can only pause to wonder if your glossy HISTORIES are misinformation to cover CURRENT AFFAIRS, just as the cover story of the war on drugs is used to mischaracterize the activist cleansings being waged in Mexico and here.
