39. I think it's the other way around
"Clark is the old face of the new machine"

None of which he ever innovated; the maverick puke of Arizona was kind of the prototype innovator, but Howard along with Trippi is in the process of refining it to an art

One thing you can always notice about these military general types is the ability to jump on some kind of new innovation, machine or mechanization and make work for them. My guess is that he didn't even figure out himself, but was handed to him by one of those self made billionaire thief’s.

The billionaire thieves that get their money of re-innovating a special take and even special legislation guaranteeing them a infusion of funds into their bank accounts on the public dole. The classic version of fascism; a corporate-welfare state where the ideology is that the name is the preeminence before the substance.

The biggest weakness you find about this version of fascism is its inability to weather a critique.

Their rigid symbolism is what they prefer to hide behind but is also the weakest point.






Corporate America is revelling in a Golden Age. A shrinking number of the planet's biggest businesses -- AOL Time Warner, Shell, Nike, Microsoft, McDonald's -- are the money behind presidents, the power that drives global trade rules, the voice of authority on how we live and the way we think. Corporations have all the rights of we, the people, but thousands of times more money to make the system work for them.

We call this system "democracy." But today it looks a lot like corporate rule.

A rebellion is building. Thousands of protesters shake up every global trade conference with calls for less corporate clout and more grassroots power. And on July 4, America's Independence Day, culture jammers delivered another blast of symbolic disobedience. Across the US and around the world, proud citizens traded the Stars-and-Stripes for today's Brands-and-Bands -- the symbol of all that's wrong with America. Five hundred Corporate America flags waved over parades and over highways, in front of Wal-Mart and the White House.
