"OUR OVERRIDING PURPOSE, from the beginning right through to the present day, has been world domination—that is, to build and maintain the capacity to coerce everybody else on the planet: nonviolently, if possible; and violently, if necessary. But the purpose of [U.S.] foreign policy of domination is not just to make the rest of the world jump through hoops; the purpose is to facilitate our exploitation of resources."
Ramsey Clark, former U.S. attorney general,
The Sun (Aug. 2001)

"THE RISE AND FALL OF ENRON is an instant
classic in the annals of capitalism because, in one calamitous stroke, it wipes out so many sanctified illusions that rule in the magic marketplace. . . . It was the classic behavior of unfettered freebooters, and it ended in the familiar way."
William Greider, national affairs correspondent, The Nation (Dec. 24, 2001).

"TELEVISION IS AN INSTRUMENT of mental cloning on a global scale. That’s its primary job: to get everyone in the world—whether they’re in the Western industrialized nations or on the islands in the Pacific—to view things in exactly the same way, to absorb an identical model of the way life is supposed to be lived. And also to change them internally so they are merged with the larger corporate technological system."
Jerry Mander, president of the International Forum on Globalization, Adbusters (Nov./Dec. 2001)
