Dreaming War: Blood for
Oil
and the Cheney-Bush Junta
Post-9/11, American media was filled with preemptory
denunciations of unpatriotic "conspiracy theorists," who not only are always with us, but are usually easy for media to discredit
since it is an article of faith that there are no conspiracies in American life. Yet, a year or so ago, who would have
thought that most of Corporate America had been conspiring with accountants to cook their books since -- well, at least the
bright dawn of the age of Reagan and deregulation. Ironically, less than a year after the massive danger from without,
we were confronted with an even greater enemy from within: Golden Calf capitalism. Transparency? One fears
that greater transparency will only reveal armies of maggots at work beneath the skin of a culture that needs a bit of a lie-down
in order to collect itself before taking its next giant step, which is to conquer Eurasia, a potentially fatal adventure not
only for our frazzled institutions but for us the presently living.
Complicity. The behavior
of President George W. Bush on 9/11 certainly gives rise to all sorts of suspicions. I can think of no other modern
chief of state who would continue to pose for "warm" pictures of himself listening to a young girl telling stories about her
pet goat while hijacked planes were slamming into three famous buildings.
". . . a few people invariably run the show; and
keep it, if they can, in the family."
