Manifest Destiny...The Dark Side...
Edited on Sat Mar-05-05 12:03 PM by ElsewheresDaughter
i am reading "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" and it compelled me to re-read a certian era in American history. I recomend that everyone read John Perkins book Confession of an Economic Hit Man.

The arrogance that flowed from the Manifest Destiny philosophy was exemplified when Albert T. Beveridge rose before the U.S. Senate and announced:

"God has not been preparing the English-speaking and Tectonic peoples for a thousand years for nothing but vain and idle self-admiration. No! He has made us the master organizers of the world to establish system where chaos reigns... He has made us adepts in government that we may administer government among savages and senile peoples. Theodore Roosevelt, John Cabot Lodge, and John Hay, each in turn, endorsed with a strong sense of certainty the view that the Anglo-Saxon was destined to rule the world. Such views expressed in the 19th century and in the early 20th century continues to ring true in the minds of many non-Indian property owners. The superiority of the "white race" is the foundation on which the Anti-Indian Movement organizers and right-wing helpers rest their efforts to dismember Indian tribes."


This is the heart and mindset of the Corporatocracy that now occupies and has complete control our government except now it is not just toward Native Americans. The New Anglo Saxon western expansion s now a global expansion and Liberals stand in the way of their Evil Empire.

RISE UP!

1. Frightening isn't it,thier way of gambling with life.
These neo-whatever you want to call them are the bluffers at the card table with a huge pile of chips and lousy cards.

2. Hence, the hate speech against anyone who can be called "liberal",...
,...which the majority of us want to leave unaddressed and unopposed.

*sigh*

They're creating a "Concentration Camp of the Mind" and we're helping them do it.
