"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military - industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist."--President Dwight D. Eisenhower

It is not a mind boggling world as I thought, in fact I am beginning to understand that if this world appear to be confusing for most common people this is not the case, for the neo-uber-alles of Bush&Co.

The American neo-uber-alles of Bush&Co. has a specific agenda for their new world order and they keep lying as they implement it. President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned us of the danger of the military industrial complex but these neo-uber-alles have been able to hijack the American constitution and use the war against terrorism to position themselves to dominate the world and constraint freedom.

We cannot trust the American government as it has become the representative of business interests rather than of citizens' interests, we cannot trust American big businesses as it puts money before human life, and we cannot trust the American military as it serves both the private government and their crony businesses.

This new world order can be described by what author Dan Briody calls the "Iron Triangle," the place where the world's mightiest military intersects with high-powered politics and big business."

The major representative of this Iron Triangle is epitomized by the Carlyle Group, "a company whose history includes ties to CIA cover-ups and secret arms deals, and an astounding trail of corporate cronysim," and which has been producing a return of some 36% a year on their multibillion dollar assets.

Bush&Co lied to the people when they stated that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and they continue to lie when they still preach the connection between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda, when they still preach economic growth by ever furthering tax cuts, when they preach deregulation for more Media concentration as per the new Federal Communications Commission plans, when they preach the heroic war in Iraq for what is the human failings as in the story of Private Jessica Lynch.

So, now that we know the agenda of the neo-uber-alles of Bush&Co. let us not be confused anymore, and let us not be lied to anymore.
