rrman,

I see what you mean: ''imperialism'', ''evil capitalists'', ''exploitation'', ''neocolonialism'' and the like don't belong to the usual American politically-correct lingo. Personally I don't feel annoyed over such leftist references --partly because they use a rather obsolete political grid map. I mean the Cold War is over! And the world is no longer a battleground for two competing ideologies (ie Communism vs. Capitalism).
On the other hand, I'm providing the audience with ''raw materials'', that is online articles and files I glean over the Internet regardless of their ideological bias (although I tend to censor myself when it comes to far-rightist scraps).

Further, I sincerely believe that some form of anarchism (Bakunin) is not totally incompatible with a pro-American agenda. After all, Vice President Al Gore himself is supportive of a wealth tax!! That is a special tax aimed at ''high-net-worth individuals''. Such an egalitarian fiscal measure belongs to a far left agenda even by European standards! Socialist Tony Blair would likely label Gore a Communist!

Now, regarding my pro-American stance, I would like to stress that I don't nourish any hostility toward the French people: that's why I use here and there the word bourgeoisie. After all, if my ''French scenario'' about the African situation is correct, it does not mean that the French people as a whole wants to prejudice the US. On the contrary, what's at stake is a global kriegspiel between the power elites of the US, France, Germany, China, Japan, and so forth. Those are the ones responsible for blowing up embassies over there, triggering currency tsunamis over here, or waging a war in the Balkans --because it fits their highest interests! And their interest spells M-O-N-E-Y. Period. Since such a rather base motive can't be waved as a rallying banner to get support from the masses, bourgeois governments have to rely on unsavory fellows such as Bob Denard, bin Laden, J. Pollard, etc. as well as on secretive agencies such as the CIA, MOSSAD, DGSE, and the like.

Did I get your worries melted away?
