9/11 was the neo cons' Reichstag fire moment in the USA, a date that they and the US mainstream media have insured lived in hysteria, because on that date in 2001, Manhattan and the Pentagon and this "great bastion of freedom" came under "unprovoked attack" W and his neo cons and their mouthpieces in the US mainstream media hold told everyone by "some absolutely terrible people" who "hate our freedom," and that "God has told us" to go out to wage war on democracy in their neck of the woods and make them pay with a pound of flesh for daring to challenge the "halo covered" Uncle Sam that he is today with W in the White House and to challenge other "enlightened presidents' leadership" who have only sought to exercise the US big business owned and rich white man's establishment's "divine right" to rule over rape, torture, pillage, enslave, and kill people in the Third World. If the US war machine, oh that is, defense must "show these heathen "Moslems, Arabs, and others" who stand in the way of big US and other Western businesses making a killing off them and "Western civilization" itself and the "American way," then W and his "freedom loving" folks say so be it in this "fight for freedom." These "fine people" in the "proud tradition" of European imperialism and militarism, the Roman Empire at its worst, the Axis powers in the Second World War, and other "kindly and civilized" types. just aren't going to listen to those such as John Pilger talking about a US "war on democracy" even if it's true. These "fine, upright" folks "know" the "truth," even though it's
an Orwellian lie, and have learned this "truth" by putting their blind faith in Leo Strauss, who outdid Nicolo Machiavelli by saying those in power not only must lie to keep power but they have a moral right to do so, thus turning ethics completely upside down. These neo cons and their disciples "know" that the "heathen" Third World people and some others as well aren't capable of self government even if Thomas Jefferson once said about this. Hey, didn't the "patriotic" John Birch Society once say that Jefferson was a left winger or some kind of earlier day communist? Oh, and what's all this about Pilger being the best journalist writing for the British media. This "terrible" Pilger has no respect for W, "our man." Then Jefferson had the nerve to refer to "rebellion against tyrants" as "being obedience to God."
Oh, and don't start talking about that other 9/ll back in 1973 in Chile with that regime change another GOP president backed bringing an end to democracy in that country over the dead, and often tortured bodies, of thousands, bringing them puppet government presided over by Augusto Pinochet, that same GOP president's tyrant and puppet in chief.
Furthermore, don't bring up that "inconvenient and terribly offensive" reference to the 1967 US Government coup against a democratic government in Greece, the birthplace of democracy, bringing in a thug, military tyranny as the government in that "little" regime change. This support for the Greek military carrying out this coup was about "freedom" to get rid of an "improper and wrong thinking" government which was going "too far" with its democracy.
This kind of government "didn't even know" to do what the US Government and others backing it were telling them to do. "Sometimes" even European white people have to be "controlled" to make sure they "have the right kind" of government to make sure the rich European white man and his women, and when gay, his men, can continue to be in control and do "what needs to be done."
Another case in Australia in 1975, of a political coup against a Labor government, was "necessary," because the "terrible left wing, pro communist" government had opposed the GOP president in the 1970s on the Vietnam War, which "absolutely was intolerable." This Australian government and the prime minister at the time were taking their democracy "too far," even if the people are, with the exception of the Aborigines, "good" European white" folks. Thus democracy of this kind was just "not right." Now this is documented in Jonathan Kwitney's Crimes of Patriots, a book on this and other matters. even though he takes the "damn left wing, communist loving side."
Oh, and don't dare bring up that recent massacre in Bolivia carried out by the US neo con backed far right/loony right,
racist separatists against the Bolivian campesinos. Just "let the US neo con backed lighter skinned oligarghy rule" or else democracy is going to get "out of control" like the "flames of 1776" which that "terrible left winger Jefferson talked about.
But back to the "fight for freedom." the neo cons and their "disciples" want all the "freedoms" for people. These include freedom of religion, as long as people are members of a Protestant evangelical or fundamentalist congregation, and the more fanatical "one true religion" oriented the better; freedom of the press, as long it's not some Amy Goodman or Democracy Now or other similar types spreading "left wing propaganda" and "vile slander, sedition, and treason" against W, the USA's supreme ruler and virtually "our god" with "such terrible heresy" against the one true political religion of neo constipation" and providing what amounts to the intellectual equivalent of Castor Oil to the people; and for freedom of speech, as long it's not some "left wing militant" such as Dennis J Kucinich, Ralph Nader, and Cynthia McKinney and all those supporting impeachment or even criminal charges against W "our great enlightened, kind hearted, freedom loving, ruler" in his proud Orwellian (Orwellian as in "war is peace, tyranny is democracy, and slavery is freedom") and Straussian tradiition.
W and his neo cons want "freedom," the freedom to take democracy away from other nations, especially in the Third World, but sometimes in such breakaway republics as Ossetia in Europe with their European white people, but the "wrong political attitudes" about the "proper new wold order" and who must rule all. This is a "devout" faith in the "freedom" to rule over, rape, torture, pillage, enslave, and kill people who get in the way of the rich white man's establishment's control over all. Thus comes the "true freedom" as the neo con useful stooges being used by the neo cons will tell everybody willing to listen to the "gospel" as preached their "father who art in the White House." For this freedom to rape, torture, enslave, profit from said slavery, and kill these people will end if these "uncivilized and heathen" people get themselves democracy and are allowed to keep it. This "grand crusade" on behalf "Western civilization" and the "white man's burden," European white man in this case, "must keep going" if it takes it for 100 years or more as Henry V would gladly agree, and surely not count the French as white anyway.
The "fight for freedom must" go on, as W and his neo cons tell all the "broadminded" folks of the mentality that they don't want to be confused with the facts, because their damn minds, such as they are, are already made up. Now
"take that" Pilger.
