Rasputin Is in Charge by Zola How do I terrorize thee? Let me count the ways. First there was the U.S.-created bogeyman Osama bin Laden. Then there was the mail delivery of U.S.-created anthrax. Then there was the U.S.-created Master of Weapons of Mass Destruction Saddam Hussein. Then there was The Lone Sniper� roaming Washington, D.C. Then there was the revelation North Korea had nukes, too. Scared yet? If so, clearly you should give up your freedoms so your government can protect you from all this. Your mail must be monitored, your financial transactions must be reported, your strolls through the streets must be taped by video cameras, your children must be GPS-microchipped, your guns must be confiscated, your associates must be screened by the neighborhood watch association, and your wealth must be confiscated to pay for these and myriad other government programs designed to enhance your security. And when your government puts you in a straight- jacket and locks you in a padded cell, it will only be for your own safety, of course. Terrorists hate your freedoms. That why you should give them up. After all, the business of governing the globe leaves little room for frivolous liberty. Let's see. First we must nuke Saddam. Then we will have to nuke North Korea. And then, well, who shall we nuke next? Oh, yes, there is that other member of the "Axis of Evil", Iran. So little time, and so much bombing to do. Don't be impatient, just stay with the beat. Think of that old 1960s song by Gene Chandler: "Nuke, nuke, nuke of Earl ..." We must bomb them, because we are a peace- loving nation and international outlaws won't do what we tell them. It's a cruel world. So all patriots should be willing to pay a little extra in taxes for more munitions, more occupation armies, more foreign and reconstruction aid, more education in American values, etc. The burdens of empire require resources. Just send in your 401(k)�or what's left of it. Americans are a kind and generous people. But, in other parts of the world, "It must be noted that men with bad instincts are more in number than the good, and therefore the best results in governing them are attained by violence and terrorisation, and not by academic discussions. Every man aims at power, everyone would like to become a dictator if only he could, and rare indeed are the men who would not be willing to sacrifice the welfare of all for the sake of securing their own welfare." Yes, this comes from the infamous Protocols of the Elders of Zion. But just because the Protocols are a hoax written by the Russian Czar's secret police in the early 1900s, one based on a French satire by Maurice Joly, that shouldn't prevent peace-loving nations from adopting a good plan of action, anymore than the U.S. "crusade against Communism" prevented the U.S. from enacting all the major prescriptions of the Communist Manifesto. It appears that some coprophagous geo-pol at the Defense Policy Board came across the Protocols one day and thought, "Say! This is a good plan." It certainly makes for more entertaining reading as a prescription for political and thought control than the mind- numbingly clich�-ish National Security Strategy of the United States. So, if you want to know what the U.S. administration is up to, you might as well skip the Hill and Knowlton PR version, and read the original, courtesy of the Czar's secret police. Clearly, Ras- Putin is in charge in Washington, D.C. How else can you explain the FBI's eagerness to label as terrorist the "defenders of the US Constitution against federal government"? And if the Generals don't like the program, Rummy can slap them around some more. In Joseph Conrad's novel The Secret Agent, a foreign Ambassador named Vladimir, stationed in London, is indignant that his paid agent provocateur, Verloc, has grown fat and done nothing for him recently. Vladimir insists on action, a "series of outrages" leading to "universal repressive legislation," so that England will be motivated to give up her "sentimental regard for individual liberty." So Verloc gets an idiot, his wife's brother Stevie, to plant a bomb at the Greenwich Observatory. Meanwhile, Chief Inspector Heat is eager to display his legendary efficiency for solving cases like this by rounding up the usual suspects, but is incensed that his designated patsy, Michaelis (who had nothing to do with the bombing), is patronized by a social friend of his wife. (There are entertaining asides, such as Chief Inspector Heat's close encounter with the Professor, who walks about London with explosives strapped to his body.) There is nothing like a few killings, and a few planted bombs, to incite the sheep to give up their "sentimental regard for individual liberty" and to fulfill their "obligations of empire." -30- from The Laissez Faire Electronic Times, Vol 1, No 37, October 28, 2002 Editor: Emile Zola Publisher: Digital Monetary Trust ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A<>E<>R + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Forwarded as information only; I don't believe everything I read or send (but that doesn't stop me from considering it; obviously SOMEBODY thinks it's important) + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. section 107, this material is distributed without charge or profit to those who have expressed a prior interest in receiving this type of information for non-profit research and educational purposes only. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + "Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk.
