<Frankly, I'm quite disappointed that you don't already understand that the real enemy of the American public is a domestic enemy. It is, in fact, a criminal enterprise that is at the heart of the military scheming for imperial assaults across the planet, sold to the American public with a never ending stream of BIG LIES about phantom enemies. > Why do you say I don't understand that? I’m the last person who should be labeled as “you people” as you did in your penultimate post. I have no idea where that’s coming from. I was discussing a philosophy for having influence and making the most of it peacefully. That isn't the current case and what you're now talking about is a different topic. To this new point I say: IMO, the U.S. is too large to govern in its current form except as a dictatorship or an oligarchy. This is especially true if we lose states rights because individual states can be disenfranchised. I've already leaned left to balance the stampede to the right. If we consider the case of Pearl Harbor, which was the first hostile act? The embargo or the attack? The embargo on oil was unilateral by the U.S., punishing Japan for their imperialism. Talk about irony. What would our reaction be if the OPEC nations embargoed the US economy at this juncture? But even then, the embargo had its roots in the utter contempt Americans had for Japanese culture. web.jjay.cuny.edu
