Phil > Bush wants to spread "democracy and freedom" throughout the world, and has repeated this goal vis a vie Iraq many times. And when at first you don't succeed, lie, lie, lie again. > a govt. official (I think commerce secy.) made a strong statements about China. In essence he said the US will not accept trade from China whose businesses are state run, therefore subsidized Doesn't seem to worry Wal-Mart too much. Anyway, if that official talks too much you-know-what, Wal-Mart will buy another one to put in his place who doesn't talk so much. > there is the revelation of multi-national oil companies controlling Russia's oil, and the involvement at the top by some very old and familiar names such as Rothschild to run the show there. But they didn't get it right. Putin pipped them at the post. In fact, right now, Russia may be cooking up for the US in Afghanistan what the US cooked up for the USSR. > Sharon said that Terrorists are targeting the West, thereby suggesting and implying a greater Moslem plot and appealing for solidarity against them. All that "cry wolf" stuff is beginning to ring pretty hollow now. In fact there was a unanimous Security Council vote at UN for Israel to accept the "road map". People around the world are getting sick and tired of Israel and its tricks. You can kid some of the people all the time (mainly Americans) --- and those are the ones Sharon concentrates on. > the drive toward globalization continues, and the control of industry world wide of these giant Corporations becomes clearer. Yes, the control maybe becoming clearer but who is controlling whom? In fact, when one analyses the control of the big American companies, one finds more and more that they are owned/controlled by foreigners. Likewise with the US debt. > The pressure on China to "westernize" and allow multi-national corporations to set up business there will build, and it will be interesting if and how China will resist. One might find, in time, that the West is becoming more Chinese! Worth remembering that there are five times as many people in China as in the US and four times as many in India. Anyway, what does Western mean these days? --- Hollywood? --- sexual perverts and violence --- or Washington? --- rogue politicians and war crimes. Further, many make the mistake to believe that the US is still an white, Anglo-Saxon country. It isn't. It isn't even a democracy. So, I ask you, how "Western" is the US?! > new world will be run by business and their unelected leaders Methinks the NWO is having a very hard time these days. Even the Queen of England is getting worried. Why else would she have called W to Buckingham Palace? She wanted to hear from the "horse's mouth" what's going on. And she also wanted to tell W that he had better do as he is told --- or else he will be fulfilling Tecumseh's Curse, the same way that JFK did. wovoca.com The US may be run by business and its unelected leaders but I think the rest of the world is getting more than pissed off with US' hypocrisy and double-speak --- and the terrorism/war against terrorism, which is clearly a strategy for advancing its geopolitical influence.

phily if China and the rest of the world took the same approach and refused to buy US products that are government subsidized he said the US will not accept trade from China whose businesses are state run, therefore subsidized. then there are going to be millions of US farmers out of a job! Agriculture, may not be state run, but it remains the most heavily subsidized major sector in the US economy and it's unusual to hear it mentioned at all...... If all US government subsidies, tariffs, quotas and restrictions on imports were removed there would be almost ZERO agricultural production in the US in a relatively short time.
