Signore mio, padre dell'universo, ti relaziono dalla Terra nella quale =
in missione mi inviasti per comprendere cosa stava succedendo. Nulla =
puo' andare secondo il nostro programma, perche' ti posso dire con =
certezza e filmati a testimonianza che - nonostante il passaggio di 2000 =
anni - mettono ancora in croce i poveri cristi come gia' fecero con tuo =
figlio. La cattiveria fra i governanti e' tanta che inorridiresti, e =
quelli che potremmo salvare al confronto sono pochissimi, mentre coloro =
che non contano niente sono per lo piu' brava gente, che segue i tuoi =
precetti, ma non ha la forza di ribellarsi. Si sono inventati persino =
che sia un peccato distribuirsi amore e carezze, che prendono invece con =
la forza e a pagamento. Non puoi contare sulla Chiesa per rivelarti, =
perche' li intralceresti; direbbero subito che sei un impostore e un =
terrorista e ti arresterebbero. Infatti il potere dei sacerdoti si =
alimenta con le sofferenze, che allevia effettivamente, ma chiedendo =
denaro e offrendo in cambio appoggio elettorale ai governanti, in un =
circolo che - se tu ti rivelassi - spezzeresti. Di vederti quindi non =
sarebbero contenti e bombe atomiche ti sparerebbero per disintegrarti. =
Le loro preghiere sotto sotto dicono: Signore, stattene al tuo posto, =
senno' io che faccio? Da quando mi hai mandato qui piango tutti i =
giorni, ma nessuno mi da ascolto, percio' - sai cosa penso? - che tu =
debba cambiare orizzonte, mandare a monte il progetto e farne un altro. =
Dammi istruzioni presto per il mio ritorno presso di te, che mi son =
propria rotta.=20

"You should know from experience that in the Indies trade must be =
conducted and maintained under the protection and favour of your own =
arms and that these arms must be got out of the profits won from the =
trade, so that trade cannot be maintained without war nor war without =
trade"
Jan Pieterszoon Coen (1614)=20

"This presence (of 70,000 U.S. troops in Germany) is the basis of our =
influence in the European region and for the cooperation of allied =
nations whose security it enhances. ... it keeps European markets open =
to us. If those troops weren't there, those markets would probably be =
more difficult to access."
former secretary of state, White House chief of staff, and NATO supreme =
commander, Gen. Alexander M. Haig, Jr. (2001)

"Think hard about it. I'm running out of demons. I'm running out of =
villains."
Colin Powell (1991)

"A liberal will tell you the system isn't working properly. I will tell =
you that the system is working exactly the way it's supposed to ... I =
was in Guatemala in 1983 for the last coup. In 1985, I was in El =
Salvador; 1991, Peru; 1992, Colombia ... After reflection on my two =
decades plus of service, I am convinced that I only served the richest =
one percent of my country"
Goff S., December 22, (1999) (Stan Goff retired from the U.S. Army in =
February 1996, after serving in Vietnam, Guatemala, El Salvador, =
Grenada, Panama, Colombia, Peru, Venezuela, Honduras, Somalia and =
Haiti.)

"War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as =
something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a =
small inside group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the =
benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses. . . I helped make =
Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I =
helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank =
boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen =
Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record =
of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international =
banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912. I brought light to the =
Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China I =
helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested. During =
those years, I had, as the boys in the back room would say, a swell =
racket. Looking back on it, I feel that I could have given Al Capone a =
few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three =
districts. I operated on three continents."=20
General Smedley Butler, USMC. Excerpt from a speech delivered in 1933 =
(from www.twf.org ). General Butler was one of the few Americans to be =
twice awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor

"The so-called national security state of the past 40 years has meant =
enormous riches, and power, for those who are in the game. It has also =
meant population control - control of the people of this and many other =
countries. Bush and his team, and those they represent, will do whatever =
is necessary to keep the game going."=20
Agee, October (1990) (Philip Agee is a former CIA agent)

"Hitherto accepted norms of human conduct do not apply... long-standing =
American concepts of fair play must be reconsidered... we must learn to =
subvert, sabotage, and destroy our enemies by more clever, more =
sophisticated and more effective methods than those used against us. It =
may become necessary that the American people be made acquainted with, =
understand, and support this fundamentally repugnant philosophy."
James Doolittle explaining in a secret 1954 report to President =
Eisenhower why CIA covert operations were needed and what they entailed

"If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier - so =
long as I'm the dictator."=20
George W. Bush, Dec. 19, 2000

"When they kill, they're terrorists. When we kill, we're striking =
against terror."=20
Solomon, "Orwellian Logic 101 - A Few Simple Lessons,"

"there are very few necessary conditions for war, and very many =
sufficient conditions"
Smith, (2001)

"Since trade ignores national boundaries, and the manufacturer insists =
on having the world as a market, the flag of his nation must follow him, =
and the doors of the nations which are closed against him must be =
battered down"
Democratic president Woodrow Wilson, about 100 years ago

"Natural gas is hemispheric. I like to call it hemispheric in nature =
because it is a product that we can find in our neighborhoods."=20
George W. Bush, Dec. 20, (2000)

"I cannot think of a time when we have had a region emerge as suddenly =
to become as strategically significant as the Caspian."
Dick Cheney (1998)
=20
"All the conditions of life are measured by money, and what brings no =
money is nonsense, unpractical, idealistic bosh."
Friedrich Engels, The Condition of the Working Class in England

"you can't tell where Enron stops and the Bush Administration begins."=20
Tom J. Wright

"A West at the peak of its power confronts non-Wests that increasingly =
have the desire, the will and the resources to shape the world in =
non-Western ways. (...) Those countries that for reason of culture and =
power do not wish to, or cannot, join the West compete with the West by =
developing their own economic, military and political power. They do =
this by promoting their internal development and by cooperating with =
other non-Western countries."
Huntington, S.P. (1993)

"The confrontation that Islam calls for with these godless and apostate =
regimes, does not know Socratic debates, Platonic ideals nor =
Aristotelian diplomacy. But it knows the dialogue of bullets, the ideals =
of assassination, bombing and destruction, and the diplomacy of the =
cannon and machine-gun"
The Al-Quaida manual, p.9, UK-BM1 translation (located by the Manchester =
police during a search of a member's home).

"Great Britain was able to govern about a quarter of the world's =
population and land surface - and to control nearly all of its sea lanes =
- without running up an especially large defense bill (an average of =
just 3 percent of net national product between 1870 and 1913, lower for =
the rest of the 19th century). And today the United States is vastly =
wealthier relative to the rest of the world than Britain ever was. In =
1913, Britain's share of total world output was a shade over 8 percent; =
the equivalent figure for the United States in 1998 was just under 22 =
percent. Nor should anybody pretend that, at least in fiscal terms, the =
cost of expanding the American empire - even if it meant a great many =
little wars like the one in Afghanistan - would be prohibitive. Last =
year, American defense spending stood at just 2.9 percent of G.D.P., =
compared with an average for the years 1948-98 of 6.8 percent."
Ferguson, December 2, 2001

"Fighting for the unlimited Western hegemony and monopoly of the world's =
riches, camouflaged as anti-terrorism, will lead to a world-wide =
catastrophe"
Avnery, November 17 (2001)
