When the Rich Wage War its the Poor who Die
I took this quote form Linkin Park in their song. Linkin Park is not really known for their political activism compared to many other bands, like Stone Sour, or Rage Against the Machine, or System of Down, but I do like their Nu Metal sound and they put things in such a simple matter. I have always looked to the US with some fear and disdain. It is that empire which horrifies the viewer yet enthralls them with fascination as it plunders its way through the world. Most can agree that when the venerable Bush was elected to office things went downhill. I mean even under Bill Clinton, who I think did a superb job as president(Including the blow job), the American administration was not really that good, or moral. The seeds of American Imperialism had been sown far before my time, or Bush’s. Bush is just a unfortunate canidate to make those ambitions fully realized.
Under Clinton’s reign there was a proposal sumbitted to the president urging him to take America into a new phase in the international scene. It called for a “New American Century”, this was written by a neo-con think tank which would provide the agenda for Bush’s reign. The group behind this was aptly called “The Project for a New American Century” . This proposal called for a “New pearl harbor” which would enable the US administration to gather public support for offensive campaigns. The Neo-conservatives differed from normal republicans in that, they were not interested in lowering the deficit, quite on the contrary they wanted to control the fucking world. With Bush’s “election” their hopes and dreams were in the hands of a incompetent idiot.
Bush and his administration have attempted to intiate most of the priorities laid out by the Project of a New American Century. But alas due to obvious incompetency they have failed to realize much of their plans. The “New Pearl Harbor” landed right in their laps on September 11/2001. The subsequent war in Afghanistan went relatively well, but not perfectly. Now there is a lot of conspiracies, rumors attached to what happened on that fate full day, and i dare say some of them are true. A lot of critics just say that well this is all speculation, but if this is all speculation why is it that the inquiries have met such hostile oppositions from the US government and why the changing story about, or lastly why is Osama Bin Ladin not a threat??? The movie “Loose Change”, below, does through a nice, but amateur way investigates many of these exact problems. I applaud their efforts but some of their conclusions and facts are bit dubious at best.
personally i have sneeking suspicion this article will be picked up at some point by some respective authorities, maybe i am just paranoid, but well considering now that the freedom of rights in the US charter has been nerfed, and Homeland security was designed to watch its own people, and quite possibly other Federal agencies, i do not put much past the US government.
