rssA Tale Of Two Paragraphs That Sum Up The Bush Administration

Both of them are from an Agence France-Press write-up of an interview with Secretary of State and worst-national-security-adviser-of-all-time Condoleezza Rice. First:
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice acknowledged Monday that the Bush administration fell short of goals it had set for itself but maintained that history would prove it right.
Second:
The war on terror has failed to eliminate Al-Qaeda and its leader Osama bin Laden, but the US-led coalition and Iraq are close to defeating the group’s Iraq branch, she said.
There was no Al Qaeda in Iraq until the United States invaded. Somehow I don’t think this evens out. If you were writing an end-of-the-year performance evaluation and an employee said something like “I didn’t complete my essential task but I came close to fixing a huge error I made that complicated my essential task,” how would you rate that fellow?

Does anyone have the feeling that our communication, here and now, appears to be convoluted and confused because many too many of us do not yet recognize that the family of humanity literally lives within a modern version of an ancient edifice, the Tower of Babel? The new leviathan-like, distinctly human construction is not made of stone, but instead built out as a “house of cards”. This colossal, artificially designed structure is noticeably pyramidal in shape, duplicitously organized as a patently unsustainable pyramid scheme, and named the global political economy.
For the people who are the primary beneficiaries of such a scheme, the global economy is effectively an object of idolatry. Nothing else really matters. These people are the self-proclaimed Masters of the Universe among us. They could not care less about the natural world, life as we know it for the children and future generations, the integrity of Earth. You can readily recognize the idolaters as the leading, self-righteous elders of my “Not So GREAT GREED GRAB Generation”. Endlessly consuming and hoarding resources as well as power-mongering are regarded as religious rituals.
Nothing in this missive is new, I suppose.
