As a simple form of protest against the American Machine may I suggest a boycott of US goods?
We all know the obvious ones like N1ke, Levi$, C0ke etc
Consider also Micro$soft products.
If you are using Internet Explorer why not change to the wonderful Opera Browser (www.opera.com).
Switch from M$ Office to OpenOffice (www.openoffice.org)
Boycott films produced by US studios.
Avoid purchasing music from US studios - download, burn and distribute instead!
Avoid purchasing Disney products for your kids.
Boycott Californian Wine.
Do what you can. Do it Today.
Spread the word.
Hit them where it hurt$.
Who needs to disseminate red propaganda when the Wall Street Journal, no less, is making it blatantly obvious what the Iraq war is about?
Yes. Oil does seem to be the pot of gold at the end of the....
I'll pass on that.
But...
This war is hardly driven by those 5 construction/engineering/consumer goods corporations.
Look to the Banking System!!! Please!!! We've all got such a knack for researching. But the oil and the unsatiable consumerism are not the missing links!
It's global debt, and the US (and its corporations) will soon find itself a victim to the debt bomb.
The IMF is the gatekeeper. The international bankers call the shots. It's been the same since money was invented. The wars, the fossil fuels, the pokemon insanities; they're just means to an end: prevention of bankruptcy.
The US is hurtling towards bankruptcy, and its hunt for oil is a desparate search for a way to prevent financial collapse. The Drug war is a hunt for currency lost in underground currents. this is simpler than no blood for oil.
No blood money.
I agree these companies are far from the totality of the "Machine" that is , as George Bush Snr called it, the new world order.
The IMF and others as you say are part of it. Indeed education systems, religious establishments and even popular culture can be also see as manisfestations and pillars of what is really just and idea. An idea of supremacy and injustice.
Talking in such vague terms leaves one open to the first ridicule of, "you talking about conspiracy theory", so it is necessary to "give relevant examples"!
