It is astonishing that a subject such as this would even get a read nowadays. It is the classic method of domination which has existed for a long time, Centuries in fact. So popular and successful for dictators or controllers that incidents creating fear have often been especially created just to bring people under heel. The Reichstag fire a proven example while suspicion still exists over 9/11.mb

Our wars, our enemies. Who knows who is next on our list. A list over which we have no control.

You and so many others, myself included, may have wondered about departing the shores of the American Empire. This article does make one think about life without penury due to making the Merchants of Death wealthier. mb

So many signs from history point in this direction. If we take just a portion of what is written in this article to our comprehension we should awaken. Awaken to a situation so perilous that it could make our Civil War seem minor. What will happen if the rest of the world goes down with us? 'Misery loves company'. There sure is a lot of misery around. We need some leaders not politicians to lead us truthfully out of this morass.mb

Might as well start out the New Year with a strong dose of advice. Surely not going to be popular with the sweat shops, child labor users, military, soul hustlers. They all want more bodies. How is the planet going to support all these people? Sent by Ben Stagg from UK. mb

We saw what happened in Copenhagen. The politicians caved into the commercial interests who ignored the obvious lessons for all humanity. The angry, powerful men really care less that we are bankrupting the essence of our home, this planet. They want now and will not be around to see the effects of long term lack of change. We must slow down. We must curb consumption of our resources not only for climate change but to be able continue life. There exists a lack of leadership in the world of those who are prepared to say 'the hell with being re-elected' we need to solve these problems now. mb

Promised this sometime ago. I wanted to find an article which would really clarify this subject. I know many will consider this subject is not appropriate for our country. Disabuse yourself of this opinion. What we have seen in the last 40 years as been a steady erosion of democratic principles. If I were a believer in totalitarianism I would have followed the path of the last four decades. Do beware, it can happen here. mb

Memories, Fred Hampton was part of our 'cause' meeting at Natoma House in Oak Brook, IL the summer of 1969. Peter Yarrow, Tom Smothers, Michael Gifford and myself were the other members.He was already a marked man. mb

This is one of the problems we must address. It can help to clarify how desperate is the current lack of understanding the path to follow. There is little question that Change is/has been the mantra for our future. The current system is not sustainable. Simply take one aspect, the world's resources. What our plant possess cannot survive at the current rate of consumption. That is only one aspect of our dilemma. What about the humanistic aspects of our current system? Push for evolution. Otherwise we will have revolution. mb

Our empire building targets the drive to our domination of the world. Do we truly want the responsibilities which go with that authority. By what divine right is our system the way for all the world. The private military is one of the most dangerous movements in the world today. It can be the ruination of this country. It goes counter to 'citizen army' conceived by our founders. Political ambitions of the military is as dangerous to our liberties as are political ambition of the clergy. More so, as all the time they are moving together, in creation of America as a fascist state. mb

Have you ever thought that there is some other way to live? Creating some benign philosophy to make our lives more humanistic. We all know there are many approaches to life which are not dominated by commercialism. Humans have such a short span of life on this planet. Why not concentrate on developing an existence which is more pleasurable in the 'pursuit of happiness'. And let us not forget an ancillary benefit of slowing the despoiling plunder of our common home - the Earth. mb

You can be a hawk, an RRR (Religious Right Republican) or a stockholder in the MICC (Military Industrial Congressional Complex) you cannot escape coming to the same conclusion - a question? What are we getting or plan to get from the Afghan War? Flag drapped coffins, crippled bodies and a staggering war debt are just part of benefits we can accrue from this conflict. Mark my word the Afghan situation has become, as for many others, a graveyard of empire. Pray that we get out now! mb

Well, another great one from one of my favorite bloggers.
Ronald Reagan, a charming celebrity huckster sold millions in this country on a political philosophy which was/is a disaster. A chaming man with a lovely wife, he really lead us down a garden path. Nixon was evil, Bush was the worst in history (particularly with Cheney running the government). Ronald Reagan was really dangerous. His philosophy still is. I really liked both of them, but not as my leader, mb

In full disclosure, I have known Gore Vidal for at least 50 years. I first got to know him when I optioned his book "Messiah". It is about a religion which takes over the world. I wanted to film it with Tyrone Power, my Godfather. Ty passed away on a film set in Spain. So the option passed and the project lanquished. i never forgot the book. As religion has become ever more controversial the suject of "Messiah" has emerged even more apropos. I saw Gore recently and spoke with him on his birthday.
I can readily understand the tone of this interview. Gore is a bitterly disappointed man about the drift of his beloved country. He, like so many of us, has almost given up. Yet he soldiers on. mb

A great piece which in brief lays out the causes and results of of un-hindered violation of the primary rules of capitalism. Until our Congress does something to reverse the damages of acts by both parties we will stay in peril. Greed has brought us down. To feel that the Reagan mantra of anti-regulation will do anything but whistling in the wind is comparable to sticking ones head in the sand. The nature of the beast demands some discipline. mb

If you wish to go to bedrock comprehend that a major problem is our current method and mode of communication. It has become too impersonal, lacking very much as contact looses more the personal touch of the voice. Texting, Facebook, Twitter et al subject to nuances for simplification due to the desire for brevity. Soundbites prevail. Locking people out of detailed messaging. Reduce culture to common denomination. Bright or curious minds are suppressed. Such exotica as hiphop, rap are incomprehensible to many. Mussolini's, Hitler's and our own demagogues do not want the commoners to have comprehension. They want indentures to do there bidding. Rage suppressed is given appropriate sound bites.
Religion is coerced by the state through political slogan ism. Nothing new, even before Constantine, it has been going on for ages. Continues today particularly amongst illiterate clergy. mb
