A Brief History of Neoliberalism by David Harvey 1/5

The first two Latin countries united States intervene were Cuba and Mexico. Why do you think we celebrate cinco de mayo in the U.S

I don't know what's celebrated on May 5th. Mexico invasion?
Do you agree that the first US imperialistic war was against the South?

It was "manifest destiny" something we usually don't talk about because of the brutality similiar in rhetoric and action to lebensraum

It was indeed Arendt who noted that imperial ventures abroad go hand in hand with tyranny at home. The government knows that more and more wars like Iraq and Afghanistan are going to be fought over dwindling resources. The threat of popular dissent must therefore be dealt with and the way to do this is by means of increased surveillance and suppression.

You've effectively simplified the situation, which is mostly understood around the world but is largely ignored by the United States populace itself.

Alas, it's not their fault. The populace has imbibed a mythology which makes such 'conspiracy' unthinkable - thx to state propaganda and a compliant media. There are those who are unwilling to disseminate bullshit, but they don't get the job. It goes deeper than media indoctrination,even. State ideology (and I use the term to include values, attitudes and so on) is enshrined in all our institutions and conveyed in insidious ways by language itelf. What then are we to do? I don't know.

In matter of terrorism, the USA are the masters. State Terrorism.

Wow. This guy knew that the weapons of mass destruction argument was a hoax before the Iraq invasion, when our CIA and the British intelligence services were counseling Bill Clinton, Tony Blair and subsequently Bush and Congress that the reason Saddam ejected the U.N. weapons inspectors in '98 was because he planned to resume production of WMD.

Is this dude more connected than the CIA?

His argument starts with a basis that's a joke.

He is discredited.

Poor you!

It must be so hard to breathe with your head so far up your rectum!
