The Neocons
July 5, 2007
The following is an excellent introduction to the neocon phenomena combined with superb art, except that it misses the defining element of neoconservative ideology: Israel.

“…for the last forty years, our thought has been trapped in hollow structures of language, a stale, dead but immensely successful rhetoric. This has represented, in my view, a defeat of the intelligence and of the will.” — Harold Pinter

Well they won’t be coming for us next.
We are the 51st state and we’re already doing their bidding.
There’d certainly be no resistance because most of our population are already comatose from watching their cretinous television and absorbing their junk culture. They simply wouldn’t notice if the Yanks walked into the country and took over.

I think the sinister, or rather most sinister, part is that all territories are not equal. Where the use of strategic alliance will suffice to create the illusion of consent will work fine for Europe. After all, how closely did Blair represent the will of the British people when faced with a choice? Why conquer as Rome did when you can create strategic alliance with a vassal that projects your will in a “coalition” of “like minded” nations that you have won over from the top down. In a situation like a “war on terror” one needs, at least in impression, allies to fight the new threat for our age– as we are told over and over and on both sides of the pond. The perception of Democracy is the best way to stabalize the home front why expanding markets which know no such restrictions as America or Europe. It is the people on the land with valuable resources that have the most to fear from direct action. We reap the benafits– and call it freedom!
