Sidney > The CFR expected a no cash economy and world government before the turn of the century. They are behind schedule. And falling further behind with each passing day as the influence and prestige of the US/UK becomes less and less as the world becomes more multipolar. > Maybe it's really all and the same and I just underestimated the ruthlessness of the CFR. IMO, what happened under W (9/11, Afghanistan, Iraq) were acts of desperation in recognition of the US' weakening economy and geopolitical influence. Had peace prevailed as before, Islam, China, India and Russia would have gone from strength to strength and the center of world economic and military power would inevitably have shifted from the West. The crushing of Islam by the US was considered necessary to control world oil and also to ensure Israel's survival, both of which aims are central to US' geopolitical aspirations. It is, however, my belief that Islam will not be crushed and, in fact, the US will be seriously weakened and demoralized by its attempt to do so. This will hasten rather than retard the shift of economic and military power from the West.

Sidney > rise of the political gangsters party under Bush/Cheney ...... xymphora.blogspot.com >>....the Republican Party reminds me most of old revolutionary organizations, like the IRA or the Palestinian Authority, or even the original mafia itself, that start out with ideological purpose and descend into groups which use their power as the monopolists of violence to live off the avails of organized crime. Dick Cheney is just like Tony Soprano with an MBA. As the American public s-l-o-w-l-y wakes up to the fact that their government is being run solely for the purposes of thievery, there is not a damn thing they can do about it. That's because the first thing the Republicans stole was the voting system itself. It's telling that the only resistance to the thievery - not the media, not the 'moderate' Republicans, and certainly not the Democrats - is coming from what is left of the judicial system, and Bush is in the final stages of permanently fixing that final problem. Why do the Democrats not take the obvious anti-war stance supported by the majority of Americans? Because they know they can't possibly win an election on the basis of their policies, so they might as well continue to line their pockets with the money from the same military lobbyists who are paying the Republicans. The entire adversarial nature of the voting system has been toppled by the fact that only one party has any chance to win. The Republicans may act a little contrite about the most blatant corruption, but as long as Diebold and similar Republican cronies are running the computer voting system, there is no chance that the Republicans will lose control of Congress or the White House, no matter how much they steal, and no matter how much they are caught. As the legal system is slowly worn down, there will be absolutely no checks on the thievery whatsoever.<<
