JASON MILLER: It’s the American Way or the Highway
Your Extinction Will Quell Your Moral and Intellectual Confusion

By Jason Miller -- World News Trust

Sept. 1, 2006 -- Persistently ticking off the precious seconds in humanity’s “Countdown to Extinction,” the Doomsday Clock of the Bulletin for Atomic Scientists has advanced to seven minutes of midnight. Yet despite nuclear terror unleashed on Japan, an arms race of monumental proportions, the collapse of the Soviet Union, and widespread nuclear proliferation, somehow humanity has managed avoid nuclear apocalypse for 60 years.

Perhaps the virtual certainty of “mutually assured destruction” will freeze the hands of the Doomsday Clock and continue humankind’s stay of execution.

As if the possibility of nuclear devastation was not enough of a concern, Donald Rumsfeld recently informed us that those who oppose the Iraqi Occupation and the abrogation of Constitutional law lack courage and are confused morally and intellectually. "Terrorism" is an existential threat to the “civilized world” and the Bush administration is justified in all of its “counter-terrorism” measures, according to Rumsfeld. Remember, if nuclear war does not annihilate us, the “terrorists” will.

As you ponder the threat of “terrorism”, do not forget to consider that the many invasions mounted by the United States military and the IDF have killed millions more innocent civilians than the asymmetrical warfare waged by over-matched victims of imperial oppression.

1. Jason's World News Trust article is a little long- but I'm glad to see
him writing again.

And his call for "synergy"/cooperation to replace the predatory capitalism, militarism, self-absorption, narcissism, hubris, avarice, and acute paranoia that results from the unregulated inherrent inhumanity of winner take all corporatism makes a lot of sense.
