"...But one of Bush's most outrageous decisions (besides naming Alberto Gonzales, who concocted a legal case for torturing foreign prisoners at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay, attorney general) has got to be choosing 66-year-old Sam Bodman to serve as secretary of energy. This is a guy who for a dozen years ran a Texas-based chemical company that spent years on the top five lists of the country's worst polluters..."

*QUOTE: US CAPITALISM*

From Jeffrey (of the 911 Truth Movement), in an email to like-minded cynics:

Where have you guys been? The US has been a one-party imperial state since at least the 1910s, when Woodrow Wilson put the proto-Council on Foreign Relations in charge of US foreign policy (so as to "batter down the walls of any nation which refuses to allow US investment free access") and corporate streamliners in charge of domestic policy, culminating with the Palmer Raids. It's been a long time since there's been a "free press", a leading NY Times writer said back in '53 that the media is a cheap whore (Bill Swinton, was it?), at which point the Times was already part of Operation Mockingbird, run by the CIA, initiated by the Democratic Truman administration. You actually want capitalism to operate on behalf of society as a whole? If so, you have learned nothing about how capitalism functions in essence, ie its dependence from the very start (The Enclosures in England) upon mass dispossession and exploitation. Any notion of change which doesn't address the essence of capitalism, and of the nature of the American state, designed to maintain the power of the wealthy elite over the rest of "US", is either foolish naivete or downright deception.
