I only wish I could agree with you about it being paranoid
bunk. In the early 'eighties I researched and published a broadsheet article
for CND, 'The Armageddon Lobby'. During that time I actually
subscribed to and received literature from the Trilateral Commission in New
York.
In one book sent me there were several 'Task Force Papers',
one which lamented the effects of higher education in the
'sixties suggesting that this led to higher expectations amongst students
causing them to rebel against the Establishment. The author urged the
Commission to use the international media -- particularly in the
Trilateralist countries -- more effectively to counter such subversion and
to win over hearts and minds, ie to manage information more tightly.
Look what has taken place over the last 30
years: access to higher education has become far more difficult
in western countries and students have now been tamed into submission by a
generation of Monetarism. Trades unions have been weakened and the Rupert
Murdochs have not only swallowed up most independent newspapers but they
have spawned a whole new multinational industry around the 'management' of
information.
President Eisenhower knew exactly what he was talking about
when, in retirement, he warned of the threats posed by a
Military-Industrial Complex. To which we can add the New Order and the
much-vaunted 'Globalization'.
In Britain, Blair and his 'New Labour' apparatchiki
are busily dismantling the Welfare State with policies that even Mrs
Thatcher would never have dared implement. What a conservative administration
dare not do is left to its successors, be they Democrats or 'New
Labour'.
Despite an ambivalent membership of the European Union,
Britain effectively a minor banana republic whose political direction is
decided in Washington and Virginia.That's the reality which Operation Desert
Storm, Kosovo and East Timor bear out. Sadly, however, Britain has to import its
bananas...

To quote from William Hugh Tunstall's Hatewatch News:
**N.Y. cardinal says he's sorry for
anti-Semitism**
Cardinal John O'Connor has expressed sorrow for the anti-Semitic history
of the Catholic Church in a letter made public over the weekend by Jewish
leaders. ``I ask this Yom Kippur that you understand my own abject sorrow
for any member of the Catholic Church, high or low, who may have harmed
you or your forebears in any way,'' the cardinal said in the letter.

No doubt, Cardinal O'Connor is quite aware of the importance
of using his position in the Roman Catholic Church to speak for reconciliation
and forgiveness in a time when small groups of extremists, racists and
anti-Semites are able to cause a degree of havoc quite disproportionate to their
numbers. In any, case it's about time someone said sorry for what the
Inquisition legitimized.
Regarding tolerance I would wholly agree. With one exception.
I personally happen to think we should implement absolute Zero-Tolerance in
regard to Nazism but you can't do that in a democracy, can you? All any of us
can do is to bear witness to common human decency and hope that it will
prevail.
