"When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle." ~ 
Any world is an illusion, but within illusion, another world, a better world, seems possible. In the material world, the one we think is real, the divide between the 'left' and 'right' is an artificial one. This divide serves to keep us separate from each other and prevents us from seeing clearly that we in fact have shared interests and a common enemy. A better way to approach economy, politics, culture and society would be to take note of the ways in which our societies are divided horizontally: the interests of the few (the elite) and the many (ordinary people). The elite wants to oppress and exploit the rest of us. In a material sense, they are our enemy. They are working to establish a One World Company, aka a totalitarian New World Order. World government is the last thing ordinary people need. We need free and open communities with equal rights for everyone and a profound respect for the many differences between us. We want freedom rather than security. We want peace, not war. Above all else, we want truth, dignity and justice. ~ The Editor

Reflections in a Petri Dish
"It was time to create an enemy that had residents in every country in the world. It had to be someone who would look like they hated us because we were everywhere too."
Of course, I had done a lot of bad things before. I had help but I would have done it all on my own if I could. Somehow I understood that if I just screamed and complained loud enough, while I was tormenting and abusing others, it would look like I was the one who was being persecuted. This worked very well and it wasn’t long before my associates and I would arrange situations in which we could actually provoke others into reacting in savage ways, after we had given the impression that the injuries were coming from another set of our associates who knew nothing about it. This was really beneficial because we’d arranged all of the evidence we wanted ahead of time. It worked like a charm. After awhile we were able to get a historical perspective to follow us around and all we had to do was present evidence of something, it didn’t even have to happen and then we could simply spread the news abroad and then show up to confirm it.
It made perfect sense, after awhile, to get control of the mediums that brought the news to places far away from the actual events. We found that we could write books about the events and make movies about the events and there was always money to make it keep happening, until the sheer weight of the fabrications took control of the public’s perceptions, from the early years of education, until it was locked into place like the mortared rocks that held together the new institutions that stood as testimony for a general protection of universal rights.
We got so good at it that the most powerful nations determined that we should have our own location where, for once, we wouldn’t have to fear the casual attacks and pervasive slanders that we had worked so hard to bring about for this very purpose. There were things we could never do inside the constructs of other countries. We had to have one of our own. Then we could have emissaries and ambassadors. We could have trade and commerce and we could finance wars. Financing wars is a high profit item and if you are orchestrating the wars, you can anticipate your position in terms of help offered which comes back, not only in dividends of interest but in terms of powerful influence and access to geopolitical strengths in the aftermath. Then you just continue. You just keep going, while making sure you live under constant threat from your surrounding neighbors who appear to want to destroy you because that’s what the newspapers say.
So first we killed or exiled all the original inhabitants and no one said a thing. Then we gave off the impressions that our neighbors were about to attack us, so we attacked them and no one said a thing. Then we absorbed new territory with every event and no one said a thing. All the while we gained a greater and greater influence in the most important countries far away and no one said a thing. Then we created terror events to initiate global conflicts and even when we were caught at it, no one said a thing. Then we attacked a naval vessel of our greatest ally, killing many sailors and no one said a thing. Then we began to organize powerful lobbies to control policy and no one said a thing. We put together organizations and think tanks to provide strategic studies and no one said a thing. We took over every human rights group to present the impression that this was our forte and no one doubted it and no one said a thing.
