I was watching PBS NewsHour (which is syndcated on the Australian
multicultural broadcaster, SBS) this evening and it got me thinking,
[why] is America the driving force in the destruction of the planet
and the subjugation of its people? Is there something in America's
history that encouraged the male/Christian world domination/destruction
ethic?
The topic for discussion was the Los Alamos National Laboratory
scientist who had given information pertaining to (supposedly nuclear)
defense technology to China. Senator Richard Shelby was there
proclaiming such things as "...we've got to protect ourselves against
nations in the world that would acquire any way they could our
technology that could do damage to our national security, our
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ = ^^
ascendancy in the world," and "Our national security should be, must
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ [ ^^ ascendancy in the world]
be, above political parties, political considerations." Full
transript at http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/asia/jan-june99/spy_3-9.html.
In other words, the US military must take on the role of running the world
by rule of violence, free of accountability. I can't believe he doesn't
even try to hide the fact.
