I
didn’t watch the Super Bowl Sunday night, instead I continued to
read few pages of a thick Italian book on El Che’ Guevara. Monday
morning I watched the results of the Super Bowl and I watch a
picture of Janet Jackson showing off her body parts as she was
entertaining the Super Bowl’s crowd. It was really a great
entertainment and more so when I think that CBS didn’t accept an
advertisement by MoveOn.org as it was found too offensive for
President Bush. Entertainment has become the reality today while
serious problems of governmental services and finance are covered up
and mortgaged to the next generations.
Again
Monday we have body parts of people dying in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and
the Middle East. I really wonder if we have to believe the self
fulfilling myth of the ‘Clash of Civilizations" as propagandized by
the conventional media, as entrenched in the American foreign
policies and as taught in political science courses at universities.
In the meantime, in the middle of political and economic confusion,
we experience governmental terrorist alerts, conspiracy theories and
the build up of the American military and Homeland Security.Some
twenty five years ago I was working under the thumb of the
Saskatchewan Health-Care Association (today’s Association of Health
Organizations, SAHO) and I couldn’t rationalise the rooted
incompetence of its leaders as they treated people as merchandise to
buy and sell out. I was really appalled about this managerial
incompetence, firstly because this association was not for profit
and secondly because the province of Saskatchewan had been the
cradle of socialized health care in Canada. Now, I think I am able
to rationalise this state of permanent and determined social and
managerial confusion. It is just the exercise of greed, that is what
neo-conservatives call the struggle of the fittest in the Free
Market and what I would call instead the struggle for the
monopolisation of power and money at the expense of people at large.
The US puppet Iraqi Governing Council, composed of mostly
liberated Iraqis who have lived abroad most of their life, is now
charging that anti-war nations 'took bribes' from Saddam Hussein
before war began. We must contrast this Iraqi libertine assertion
that France was for example bribed by Saddam Hussein with the
uncovered truth that in early 2003 the US was spying on United
Nations (UN) Security Council delegations for the purpose to swing a
UN resolution to execute a legal war against Iraq. Thanks to the
leaking of this uncovered truth by Katharine Gun, a former British
intelligence employee at the United Nations, we now know more of the
illegal background of the war against Iraq.
President Bush doesn’t want to take responsibilities of his
illegal and pre-arranged war against Iraq and he has just stated he
would appoint an "independent bipartisan commission" to review US
intelligence on the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
Also, President Bush is going first to sit down with David Kay,
former head of the Iraq Survey Group, and concoct with him another
cover up. But the truth of the intelligence failures leading to the
Iraq war has been already uncovered: it was the intelligence chain
purposely tunneled to the White House by Secretary of Defense Donald
Rumsfeld, commander in chief of the new speak of American
communication.
