THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!

"Imperialism today is taking place in the context of...the 'universalization' of capitalism. It is not now primarily a matter of territorial conquest or direct military or colonial control. It is not now a matter of capitalist powers invading non-capitalist powers in order to bleed them dry directly and by brute force. Now it is more a matter of ensuring that the forces of the capitalist market prevail in every corner of the world (even if this means marginalizing and impoverishing parts of it), and of manipulating those market forces to the advantage of the most powerful capitalist economies and the United States in particular." ... "Military force is still central to the imperialist project, in some ways more than ever."-- Political scientist Ellen Meiksins-Wood, Z magazine Nov 1999, p26

 

HAPPY 'KICK OUT THE GOVERNMENT' DAY!!!

 

Flashback: A Broken Link

Recent occurrences in Georgia have surprised many people. However, only a blind person could not have seen this coming. The U.S. has co-opted most of the former Soviet Union nations that now surround Russia. Plus, the missile deals with Poland and the Czech Republic have upset the Russians even more.

A little more than two years ago, I wrote the article "The Wrong Side Won (Again). It foretold the current tensions between Russia and the West, primarily the U.S. Not only has Russia had to deal with U.S. duplicity. The same strategy is used against any nation the U.S. wants to interfere with. Also, the same strategy of buying out a stooge government for peanuts is employed. And, finally, the same strategy of denying the stooges help when it is the U.S. time to adhere to its side of the bargain is evident. Just ask the downtrodden Native American tribes of today.
