-Caveat Lector-

norg,

i should back up a bit and clarify my position -- i do not accuse or
suspect kevin and his site of being willfully part of some bad agenda.
his work strikes me as very sincere, but in my opinion deluded on some
ideological points.  so i'm just criticizing the fact that, the way i
see it, he's including some disinfo memes that are harmful.  i'm saying
this as someone who used to think the same way in many respects, up
until about a year ago.

one can look at other ideologies and see similar problems... for
instance, i think that the vast majority of marxists and trotskyists
really sincerely believe that a "world revolution" to end the existence
of nation-states is a way to liberate the masses from oppression, but
they don't stop to think about how this plays into the hands of
globalists who also want to eliminate nation-states to make way for a
global government.  similarly, i think there are many people who are
absolutely sincere in their belief that radical "localism", romantic
individualism, and anti-statism are a way to supposedly save us from
big brother, without looking to see who exactly has been promoting
these beliefs over the generations, and the hidden reasons why.  but i
apologize if i came across as accusing cryptogon of being a front... i
just think their message is a bit contaminated.  i get a bit worked up
because i think we're going to see serious worldwide implications of
certain widespread disinfo memes in our near future.  i believe that
the NWO's currently accelerating hype about supposed resource &
environmental crises is intimately related to long-running psyops
concerning anti-statism and agrarian / utopian ideologies, as per my
ideas of an ongoing dialectic that i shared in my last email.

as for trotskyists and chossudovsky, here's something from the 4th
international from a couple year's back, which denounces chossudovsky's
advocacy of restoring the nation-state as a defence against
globalisation (it's not an example of what i would call a "savage
attack", which i have seen from marxists elsewhere, but the ideological
fundamentalism is clear.  true marxists are actually not statist; they
are very anti-statist when it comes to current forms of constitutional
representative democracy, and they spread the dangerous myth that
implementing any changes to ownership & distribution of weath requires
demolishing constitutional representative democracy, i.e. the
"bourgeois state".  i tend to believe that the marxist psy-op was
created mainly for this purpose.)

http://www.wsws.org/articles/2000/feb2000/cho1-f21.shtml

(i don't see the cryptogon site as promoting this particular brand of
ideology, from what i've seen, but manichean anti-state and
anti-"hierarchy" rhetoric lead strongly to similar positions, from a
different angle.)

one notable thing about trotskyists is that they tend to support free
trade, a position which goes back to marx & engels, because they assert
(correctly) that free trade accelerates the destruction of
nation-states, thus in their view accelerating their opportunities for
"world revolution". an interesting example:

http://users.cyberone.com.au/myers/xTrots.html

hart & negri's "empire" is another example of current radical
neo-marxist theory which fervently denounces the thought of restoring
the nation-state against globalization.

in a related vein, the overblown efforts of radicals chomsky, zinn, and
the like to rubbish the constitutional founders strike me as a
left-gatekeeper firebreak against the possibility of progressives
endorsing a comeback of the old federalist american system ideas.
every single mention of tariffs and other american system policies in
zinn's "people's history of the US" is incredibly negative, portraying
such things as the schemes of a 'rich white men' statist conspiracy to
centralize power.  zinn's book came out in the late 80s -- good timing
for the powers-that-be, with NAFTA soon to be on the table.
