The Trap and Interview With John Ralston Saul
The Trap - 2 - the Lonely Robot
The Trap - 3 - We Will Force You to Be Free
What Curtis fails to state when recanting the neocon point of view, seems obvious. The neocon ideal, of the new human free agent, is a sheath to simple greed. They do not need to believe in the new free human, but knows that they can prevail against the atomised they create. The interwoven nature of US government, military and business creates a large block facing smaller blocks, constantly smashing them smaller. As US business, military are not fragmented this makes looting simpler.
John Ralston Saul
Saul expresses more cogent view of the world than Curtis, they have both undertaken the same task to synthesise the events of the world, in the recent years, for its citizens. The form that Curtis uses is captivating and of this moment, Saul is just more correct and you will have to read him. He seems to not really have much of a presence on the internet, though does quite a bit of public speaking. This interview I have posted is tawdry, but gets his voice across a bit.
