"In
the counsels of Government, we must guard
against the acquisition of unwarranted
influence, whether sought or unsought, by
the Military Industrial Complex. The
potential for the disastrous rise of
misplaced power exists, and will persist.
We must never let the weight of this
combination endanger our liberties or
democratic processes."
~President Dwight Eisenhower, 1961

"Critics of the
Bush administration like to bandy about
the word "fascist" when speaking of
George. The image that word conjures is
of Nazi stormtroopers marching in unison
towards Hitler's Final Solution. This
does not at all fit. It is better, in
this matter, to view the Bush
administration through the eyes of
Benito Mussolini. Mussolini, dubbed 'the
father of Fascism,' defined the word in
a far more pertinent fashion. "Fascism,"
said Mussolini, "should more properly be
called corporatism, since it is the
merger of state and corporate power."

"The process of
undermining the legitimacy of this
government has begun. There has been a
worm eating at the innards of its
complacency all along - the knowledge of
the American public, buried, but in a
very shallow grave, easy to disinter,
that this government came to power by a
political coup, not by popular will."
~Howard Zinn
