QUOTES ON THE NEW WORLD ORDER's CONTROL
over the THIRD WORLD
"One of the intentions of
corporate-controlled
media is to instill in
people a sense of disempowerment,
of immobilization and paralysis. Its
outcome is to turn you into
good consumers. It is to keep people
isolated, to feel that there
is no possibility for social change."
David Barsamian, journalist and publisher
*****
" Patriotism, like religion,
meets people's need for something greater
to which their individual
lives can be anchored ... America's state
religion, [is] patriotism,
a phenomenon which has convinced many of the
citizenry that "treason"
is morally worse than murder or rape "
William Blum, author of Killing Hope
*****
" The enormous gap between
what US leaders do in the world and what
Americans think their leaders
are doing is one of the great propaganda
accomplishments of the dominant
political mythology. "
Michael Parenti, political scientist and author
*****
" The modern conservative
is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in
moral philosophy: that is
the search for a superior moral justification
for selfishness."
John Kenneth Galbraith, economist and author
*****
" History will have to record
that the greatest tragedy of this period
of social transition was
not the strident clamor of the bad people, but
the appalling silence of
the good people. "
Martin Luther King, Jr.
*****
" The smart way to keep people
passive and obedient is to strictly limit
the spectrum of acceptable
opinion, but allow very lively debate within
that spectrum - even encourage
the more critical and dissident views. That
gives people the sense that
there's free thinking going on, while all the
time the presuppositions
of the system are being reinforced by the limits
put on the range of the
debate. "

prevailing orthodoxy finds himself silenced

George Orwell, author of the book "1984"

" I know of no country in
which there is so little independence of mind
and real freedom of discussion
as in America. "
Alexis de Tocqueville, 1805
- 1859, French political thinker
and author of Democracy
in America
*****
" If an American is concerned
only about his nation, he will not be
concerned about the peoples
of Asia, Africa, or South America. Is this not
why nations engage in the
madness of war without the slightest sense of
penitence? Is this not why
the murder of a citizen of your own nation is a
crime, but the murder of
citizens of another nation in war is an act of
heroic virtue? "
Martin Luther King, Jr.

"To provide its happy people
with perpetual fun is now the deepest purpose
of Western civilization."

U.S. FOREIGN POLICY and the PENTAGON
" Many of us regard ourselves
as mildly liberal or centrist politically,
voice fairly pleasant sentiments
about our poor children, contribute
money to send poor kids
to summer camp, feel benevolent. We're not
nazis; we're nice people.
We read sophisticated books. We go to church.
We go to synagogue. Meanwhile,
we put other people's children into an
economic and environmental
death zone. We make it hard for them to get
out. We strip the place
bare of amenities. And we sit back and say to
ourselves, "Well, I hope
that they don't kill each other off. But if
they do, it's not my fault."
Jonathan Kozol, educator and author
*****
" The only way to abolish war is to make peace heroic."
John Dewey, American philosopher and educator, 1859-1952

" [U.S. aid] has tended
to flow disproportionately to Latin American
governments which torture
their citizens..."
Lars Schoultz, leading academic specialist on human rights in Latin America
*****
"Americans have been taught
that their nation is civilized and humane.
But, too often, U.S. actions
have been uncivilized and inhumane."
Howard Zinn, historian and author

" In the post-Cold War era,
the United States needs to promote the
development of democracy
and human rights, not militaries that view their
own citizens as the enemy."
U.S. Senator Richard Durbin

"The American oligarchy increasingly
has less in common with the American
people than it does with
the equivalent oligarchies in Germany or Mexico

" Throughout the world, on
any given day, a man, woman or child is likely

Amnesty International, in

"How dare Americans allow
their government to cause such misery [in the
world]."
Ramsey Clark, former United

"One of the great attractions
of patriotism -- it fulfills our worst
wishes. In the person of

Aldous Huxley, English author, 1894-1963

" Does it sound outrageous
to you that military spending for fiscal year
2000 will be almost $290
billion and all other domestic discretionary
spending, such as education,

United States from becoming a totally military

Jerome Weisner, president

*****
" The NSS [National Security
State] represents and serves the interests of
a tiny elite. Its economic
policies of "trickling-up", enforced by the
machine gun, are rationalized
on the ground that growth in the long run
will trickle down to the
lower orders. This is a self-serving ideology
designed mainly to allow
the western public to think well of themselves
and their own country."
Edward S. Herman, economist,

Robert McChesney, journalist and media critic

"The recent quantum leap
in the ability of transnational corporations to
relocate their facilities
around the world in effect makes all workers,

" In the councils of government,
we must guard against 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 in his Farewell Address, 1961
*****
"For the last fifty years
we've been supporting right-wing governments,
and that is a puzzlement
to me...I don't understand what there is in the
American character... that
almost automatically, even when we have a
liberal President, we support
fascist dictatorships or are tolerant
towards them."
William Shirer, author
*****
"The immiseration of the
majority is an integral part of the Free World
package for the Third World,
the unsavory aspects of the package -- the
terror, the direct spoilation
of people and resources, and western
complicity -- must be rationalized
and, as far as possible, kept under
the rug."
Edward S. Herman, economist, author, and US media and foreign policy critic
*****
" Americans cannot teach
democracy to the world until they restore their
own."
William Greider, journalist and author
*****
"The achievements of past
struggles and the aspirations of an entire
nation are [being] undone
and erased.... No Agent Orange or steel pellet
bombs, no napalm, no toxic
chemicals: a new phase of economic and social
(rather than physical) destruction
has unfolded. The seemingly neutral
and scientific tools of
macro-economic policy constitute a non-violent
instrument of recolonization
and impoverishment."

RECENT ARTICLES and BOOK EXCERPTS
"The crimes of the U.S. throughout

constant, clinical, remorseless,
and fully documented but nobody talks
about them."
Harold Pinter, English dramatist
*****
" America's inability to
come to terms with revolutionary change in the
The Third World...has created
our biggest international problems in the
postwar era. But the root
of the problem is not, as many Americans
persist in believing, the
relentless spread of communism. Rather, it is
our own difficulty in understanding
that Third World revolutions are
primarily nationalist, not
communist. Nationalism, not capitalism or
communism, is the dominant
political force in the modern world. You
might think that revolutionary
nationalism and the desire for
self-determination would
be relatively easy for Americans - the first
successful revolutionaries
to win their independence - to understand.
But instead we have been
dumbfounded when other peoples have tried to
pursue the goals of our
own revolution two centuries ago.... "
Former U.S. Senator Frank
Church, on the shortsightedness of 'rollback' as
our foreign policy doctrine
*****
" People with advantages
are loath to believe that they just happen to be
people with advantages.
"
C. Wright Mills - from the book The Power Elite
*****
"I believe that if we had
and would keep our dirty, bloody, dollar-soaked
fingers out of the business
of these [Third World] nations so full of
depressed, exploited people,
they will arrive at a solution of their
own.... And if unfortunately
their revolution must be of the violent type
because the "haves" refuse
to share with the "have-nots" by any peaceful
method, at least what they
get will be their own, and not the American
style, which they don't
want and above all don't want crammed down their
throats by Americans."
General David Sharp, former US Marine Commandant,1966

" In the United States today,
the Declaration of Independence hangs on

" Enemies are necessary for
the wheels of the U.S. military machine to
turn. "
John Stockwell, former CIA official and author
*****
" Today, the United States
and Somalia are the only two countries in the
world which haven't ratified
the United Nations Convention on the Rights
of the Child. And since
Somalia is a country with no internationally
recognized government, the
United States essentially stands alone as the
last holdout to legally
guarantee children the same full range of human
rights ... agreed to by
191 other sovereign states. "
Catherine Langevin-Falcon,
executive director of UNICEF
(Humanist magazine Nov/Dec
1998)
*****
"Our government has kept
us in a perpetual state of fear - kept us in a
continuous stampede of patriotic
fervor - with the cry of grave national
emergency. Always there
has been some terrible evil at home or some
monstrous foreign power
that was going to gobble us up if we did not
blindly rally behind it

US General Douglas MacArthur, 1957

Iraq, Nigeria, Florida and Texas.
*****
" We live amidst massive
inequality. We don't really care that most people
have little power to alter
the conditions of their lives. We refuse to
acknowledge that the earth
is dying and that we are killing it. ... Our
unthinking celebration of
individual achievement and upward mobility works
to damage the life-giving
ties of kinship and the bonds of community.
...We pretend not to understand
the linkages between our comfortable
standard of living and the
dictatorships we impose and protect through an
international military presence.
"
Jerry Fresia, author of Toward an American Revolution
*****
" A nation that continues
year after year to spend more money on military
defense than on programs
of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom. "
Martin Luther King, Jr.
*****
" The conscious and intelligent
manipulation of the organized habits and
opinions of the masses is
an important element in democratic society. "
Edward Bernays, "father"
of modern public relations (PR), on
government propaganda
*****
" In a world of increasing
inequality, the legitimacy of institutions that
give precedence to the property
rights of "the Haves" over the human
rights of "the Have Nots"
is inevitably called into serious question. "
David Korten, economist and internationalist

" It is legal to purchase
a fully assembled Uzi machine gun in this

but it's not legal to purchase a fully assembled
low-watt radio transmitter.

HUMAN RIGHTS, JUSTICE and
REFORM
"Why of course the people
don't want war.Why should some poor slob on a
farm want to risk his life
in a war when the best he can get out of it is
to come back to his farm
in one piece? Naturally, the common people don't
want war: neither in Russia,
nor in England, nor for that matter in
Germany. That is understood.
But after all it is the leaders of the
country who determine the
policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag
the people along, whether
it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or
a parliament, or a communist
dictatorship ...Voice or no voice, the people
can always be brought to
the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you
have to do is to tell them
they are being attacked, and denounce the
pacifists for lack of patriotism
and exposing the country to danger."
Hermann Goering, Nazi leader, at the Nuremberg Trials after World War II
*****
" The range of debate between
the dominant U.S. [political] parties tends
to closely resemble the
range of debate within the business class. "
Robert McChesney, author and media critic
*****
"Conceit, arrogance and egotism
are the essentials of patriotism....
Patriotism assumes that
our globe is divided into little spots, each one
surrounded by an iron gate.
Those who had the fortune of being born on
some particular spot, consider
themselves better, nobler, grander, more
intelligent than the living
beings inhabiting any other spot. It is,
therefore, the duty of everyone
living on that chosen spot to fight, kill,
and die in the attempt to
impose his superiority upon all others."
Emma Goldman, American anarchist and feminist, 1869-1940
*****
"If those in charge of our
society - politicians, corporate executives,
and owners of press and
television - can dominate our ideas, they will be
secure in their power. They

We will control ourselves."
Howard Zinn, historian and author

" Human progress is neither
automatic nor inevitable ... Every step toward
the goal of justice requires
sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the
tireless exertions and passionate
concern of dedicated individuals. "
Martin Luther King, Jr.
*****
" There is ...a huge tacit
conspiracy between the U.S. government, its
agencies and its multinational
corporations, on the one hand, and local
business and military cliques
in the Third World, on the other, to assume
complete control of these
countries and "develop" them on a joint venture
basis. The military leaders
of the Third World were carefully nurtured by
the U.S. security establishment
to serve as the "enforcers" of this joint
venture partnership, and
they have been duly supplied with machine guns
and the latest data on methods
of interrogation of subversives."

the decency of its people.
"
Jerry Fresia, author of Toward an American Revolution
*****
"... the United States has
given frequent and enthusiastic support to the
overthrow of democracy in
favor of "investor friendly" regimes. The World
Bank, IMF, and private banks
have consistently lavished huge sums on
terror regimes, following
their displacement of democratic governments,
and a number of quantitative
studies have shown a systematic positive
relationship between U.S.
and IMF / World Bank aid to countries and their
violations of human rights."
Edward S. Herman, economist,

" Not a nut or bolt shall

U.S. Ambassador to Chile,

in 1973

" The nationalist not only
does not disapprove of atrocities committed by
his own side, but he has
a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about

George Orwell, English writer, 1903-1950
*****
" The most unpardonable sin in society is independence of thought."
Emma Goldman, American anarchist and feminist, 1869-1940
*****
" Where, after all, do universal
human rights begin? In small places,
close to home - so close
and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps
of the world. Yet they are
the world of the individual person; the
neighborhood he lives in;
the school or college he attends; the factory,
farm, or office where he
works. Such are the places where every man,
woman, and child seeks equal
justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity
without discrimination.
Unless these rights have meaning there, they have
little meaning anywhere.
Without concerted citizen action to uphold them
close to home, we shall
look in vain for progress in the larger world. "
Eleanor Roosevelt

WHAT YOU CAN DO
" What would have happened
if millions of American and British people,
struggling with coupons
and lines at the gas stations, had learned that
in 1942 Standard Oil of
New Jersey [part of the Rockefeller empire]
managers shipped the enemy's
fuel through neutral Switzerland and that
the enemy was shipping Allied
fuel? Suppose the public had discovered
that the Chase Bank in Nazi-occupied
Paris after Pearl Harbor was doing
millions of dollars' worth
of business with the enemy with the full
knowledge of the head office
in Manhattan [the Rockefeller family among
others?] Or that Ford trucks
were being built for the German occupation
troops in France with authorization
from Dearborn, Michigan? Or that
Colonel Sosthenes Behn,
the head of the international American telephone
conglomerate ITT, flew from
New York to Madrid to Berne during the war
to help improve Hitler's
communications systems and improve the robot
bombs that devastated London?
Or that ITT built the FockeWulfs that
dropped bombs on British
and American troops? Or that crucial balI
bearings were shipped to
Nazi-associated customers in Latin America with
the collusion of the vice-chairman
of the U.S. War Production Board in
partnership with Goering's
cousin in Philadelphia when American forces
were desperately short of
them? Or that such arrangements were known
about in Washington and
either sanctioned or deliberately ignored?"
Charles Higham, researcher, about U.S.-Nazi collaboration during WWII
*****
" Sports plays a societal
role in engendering jingoist and chauvinist
attitudes. They're designed
to organize a community to be committed to
their gladiators."
Noam Chomsky, American linguist and US media and foreign policy critic
*****
"... the establishment can't
admit [that] it is human rights violations
that make ... countries
attractive to business -- so history has to be
fudged, including denial
of our support of regimes of terror and the

that [don't] meet [the] standard of service
to the transnational corporation..."
Edward S. Herman, economist,

" [Nearly 70% of the military
budget] is to provide men and weapons to
fight in foreign countries
in support of our allies and friends and for
offensive operations in
Third World countries .. Another big chunk of the
defense budget is the 20%
allocated for our offensive nuclear force of
bombers, missles, and submarines
whose job it is to carry nuclear weapons

" The dream of capitalism
is to co-opt people with higher living standards
without redistributing any

of gross inequality."
Holly Sklar, from her book Trilateralism
*****
"There is no reason to accept
the doctrines crafted to sustain power and
privilege, or to believe
that we are constrained by mysterious and unknown
social laws. These are simply
decisions made within institutions that are
subject to human will and
that must face the test of legitimacy. And if
they do not meet the test,
they can be replaced by other institutions that
are more free and more just,
as has happened often in the past."
Noam Chomsky, American linguist and US media and foreign policy critic

" We may not be strong enough
to stop wars when the powers that be want

Leslie Cagan, anti-war activist

TRAVEL HEALTH
" Rollback as a foreign policy
... causes untold devastation and misery
for millions overseas, and
hinders any potential positive U.S. influence
in world affairs... To the
extent the U.S. public backs rollback, this
support is rooted in a misguided
sense of patriotism. Patriotism itself
- love of one's country
and one's people - is a natural and reasonable
human feeling. But patriotism
which measures one's country by military
superiority over all rivals
regardless of consequence is irrational...
There is surely a more rational
form of patriotism that searches for
excellence in social, economic
and moral spheres rather than in weapon
systems. "
from the book Rollback by Thomas Bodenheimer and Robert Gould

" If the business community
and political elite want to go to war they
find it easy to mobilize
domestic consent."
Edward S. Herman, economist,

*****
" With unfailing consistancy,
U.S. intervention has been on the side of
the rich and powerful of
various nations at the expense of the poor and
needy. Rather than strengthening
democracies, U.S. leaders have overthrown
numerous democratically
elected governments or other populist regimes in
dozens of countries ...
whenever these nations give evidence of putting
the interests of their people
ahead of the interests of multinational
corporate interests. "
Michael Parenti, political scientist and author
*****
"This focus on money and
power may do wonders in the marketplace, but it
creates a tremendous crisis
in our society. People who have spent all day
learning how to sell themselves
and to manipulate others are in no
position to form lasting
friendships or intimate relationships... Many
Americans hunger for a different
kind of society -- one based on
principles of caring, ethical
and spiritual sensitivity, and communal
solidarity. Their need for
meaning is just as intense as their need for
economic security."
Michael Lerner, journalist

" We must teach our children

" The greatest crime since World War II has been U.S. foreign policy. "
Ramsey Clark, former U.S. Attorney General
*****
" One may well ask: How can
you advocate breaking some laws and obeying
others? The answer lies
in the fact that there are two types of laws: just
and unjust. I would be the
first to advocate obeying just laws. One has
not only a legal but a moral
responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely,
one has a moral responsibility
to disobey unjust laws."
Martin Luther King, Jr.
*****
" The U.S. public is depoliticized,
poorly informed on foreign affairs ...
and strongly patriotic in
the face of a struggle with "another Hitler".
Even though the public is
normally averse to war, even with modest

enthusiastic supporters
of war."
Edward S. Herman, economist,

" I am astonished each time
