Absolutley chilling.
Also, on the news here in LA tonight there was a brief story about how some actors are seemingly being blacklisted for voicing their anti-war opinions.
Also some interesting comments from Norman Mailer in a recent article in the
LA Weekly.
http://www.laweekly.com/ink/03/15/a.php"We're going to lose our democracy in this process," said Mailer, speaking of the coming war with Iraq. "We're in a pre-fascist atmosphere here in America."
Mailer, who wrote brilliantly of World War II in his classic The Naked and the Dead, says the Bush administration sees the coming war as the best way to distract attention away from the "downslope" he says America has embarked upon. Yet this war, Mailer insists, is much more than domestic political distraction. It's also about a neoconservative drive for a Pax Americana. "This is about establishing the Near East as an outpost for world empire. It's about capturing Iraq's oil. It's about capturing Iraq's water. It's about controlling the Middle East."
He did end on a positive note, though, saying that the "Bushites" are "too frivolous and too shallow a crew to really follow through."
