We’ve always been at war with Eastasia …

If Chic-fil-a is the biggest news of the day, it’s only because about 1 ppm of the US population knows (or cares) what’s really going on.  Washington’s Blog points out the new era of continuous war.  Covered as a wonderful Arab Spring.

The bad thing of war is, that it makes more evil people than it can take away.

Immanuel Kant

Apologists for activist government never tire of telling us that the benevolent state is our protector and that without it we'd be at the mercy of monsters. It is about time that we understood that the U.S. government does more to endanger the American people than any imagined monsters around the world…by pursuing its Grand Foreign Policy of meddling anywhere and everywhere.

Sheldon Richman

In George Orwell’s novel 1984,  the country of Oceania has been in a war against Eurasia for years.

Oceania suddenly switches sides, naming Eastasia as its enemy and making its mortal enemy, Eurasia, its new ally.

The government uses propaganda to convince people that, “We’ve always been at war with Eastasia”.  The dumbed-down public doesn’t even notice that they’ve switched sides, and blindly rallies around Eurasia as its perennial friend and ally.

The same thing is happening in real life with Al Qaeda.

Also don’t miss domestic spying by the US Government: see GAP.  Under Bush, abhorrent, Under Obama, no news must be good news.  All under the guise of an Al Qaeda threat.  When we are funding and allies with Al Qaeda.

An idea is growing in foreign policy circles in Washington … that there is no turning back. We are stuck in Iraq and Afghanistan for 25 to 40 years, we are embedded in our prideful unilateralism, and nothing can return us to more traditional American values and principles of action. The hubristic creators of this “inevitability” planned it this way. … Their failures in Iraq have not stopped the fanatic, power-hungry neoconservatives. … The hard-liners who dominate this administration … have led us to eternal conflict with Muslims.
