Gore: Drive for World Domination has put us in Greater Danger
From Crooks and Liars is an article and link to the paper about Gore. they highlighted the most important part where he says what many of us know. And talks about the Bush regime and their need for power.



Al Gore has contributed an op-ed to the Guardian: (h/t Gregory)

The pursuit of "dominance" in foreign policy led the Bush administration to ignore the UN, to do serious damage to our most important alliances, to violate international law, and to cultivate the hatred and contempt of many in the rest of the world. The seductive appeal of exercising unconstrained unilateral power led this president to interpret his powers under the constitution in a way that brought to life the worst nightmare of the founders. Any policy based on domination of the rest of the world not only creates enemies for the US and recruits for al-Qaida, but also undermines the international cooperation that is essential to defeating terrorists who wish to harm and intimidate America.

Yeah, what he said.

4. I wouldn't call it a Need for power
Edited on Mon May-28-07 01:23 AM by undergroundpanther
I'd call it a greed for power. They are Psychopaths and they want to dominate and they don't care if they destroy everything to rule it.
Psychopaths are addicted to fantasies of POWER and domination.

The ones that kill like the idea of having TOTAL control over their victims.Their victims cannot say NO they cannot DEFY the psychopaths demands or control,they cannot question the psychopaths agendas desires or acts.

Psychopaths cannot be negotiated with they cannot be reasoned with, compromises cannot be made with psychopaths and you cannot trust them and you must NEVER pity a psychopath or assume they care or feel remorse like non-psychopaths do.To assume a psychopath is like a non psychopath is a destructive yet still popular solipsism.


Boundaries must be put upon sociopaths from OUTSIDE of themself. That means you, me and every other non psychopath, person has a job to protect each other from the damage and traumas ruthless, predatory, parasite,toxic and conscienceless personalities inflict and cause among us..

By learning how to spot dangerous people, and spot their manipulations and games, telling others how to spot them and than restraining the psychopaths by revealing them we can limit their influences.

By refusing to by stand if you see abuse you do not let them 'get away with it'. By keeping them in social positions without any authority or power,we can keep social institutions more or less free of their destructive games and nepotism they give their own kind. (bullies band together)

By deliberately keeping them away from gathering social capital seeing through their excuses,lies, charm,glib superficialness and 'looks'..We can keep them separated from the power they do not earn,legitimately.

This means also keeping them away from gathering too much wealth, for in this culture wealth is power and the psychopath neocons abuse wealth alot..Wealth cannot be abused anymore. It's true psychopaths abuse everything they touch..

By restraining their freedom by making them accountable personally for their deeds and words,as we do each other,by detecting and socially pushing them out of our lives,relationships, out of politics and forcing them to the margins where they cannot do as much harm,and always refusing to TRUST(give power) psychopaths,because we know what they ARE, we can mitigate the damage they do to us by protecting each other..

When as a society that looks out for each other we are acting socially as the CONSCIENCE the psychopathic part of the populace lacks inside, we can reduce their power to harm others...Only if we educate ourselves about the dynamics of abuse,what psychopaths ,authoritarians and narcissists are, protect each other from them, recognize their misuse of power and manipulation clearly enough to recognize and reject THEM.


If we have the honesty within to admit and realize not all of us are the same inside, regarding our relationships to sense of self, feeling of emotions, and relationships to others. Some people really have no inner control mechanisms on what they decide to do..There are no feelings of shame in a psychopath when they do wrong or hurt others,they do not care if they hurt others . A psychopath is a toxic problem personality not exclusive or more concentrated in a race or gender. Psychopathy cuts through all social demographics because it is a toxic personality found in all populations of all kinds of humans . If we understand this we cannot be so easily misled by racist shit , religious shit,or sexist shit ..
All ISM's can be made part of the games psychopaths use distract us from what they do to us when we feel besieged by them and frustrated.

Psychopaths see themselves as entitled, elite and perfect,and above having to bear the rules of conduct that make us all able to share this planet together. That is why we cannot negotiate with them. Lets burn this psychopathic sickening sprawling inhuman abusive empire within our society down together.
