This prophesy of liberation theology will prove true when offense is stylized as defense, redistribution from bottom to top brings exploding inequality and secret government criminalizes criticism and dissent. The perfect economic storm (climate change, peak oil and the melting dollar) means business as usual is over. The Great Turning (David Korten) from empire to community and profit values to people values will demand courage and sacrifice, engagement and solidarity. The future could still be open and dynamic when the myths and idolatries (riches and power as ends-in-themselves) are replaced by the truths of humility and interdependence.

For example Saddam is going to be hanged for 'war crimes' BUT he was our ally at the time against Iran and WE (Bush Sr., Cheney, Rumsfeld) SUPPLIED THE WMD!!!!!!!!! All of the talk about Democracy, freedom and 'right or wrong' is JUST POLITICAL BULLSH*T. The ONLY thing that matters is absolute power and control- this is the goal of the 'Government'. If truth and justice and feacts had ANY meaning whatsoever (aside from psychological) then these men would be on trial right along Saddam, Israel would be on the outs with the U.S. because of 9/11, and we would be negotiating peace and commerce with other countries instead of trying to install our own handpicked leaders in them. The Contitution and Bill Of Rights are dead (confirmed by our 'Supreme Dictator Court'), we have been bankrupt for years but this can no longer be hidden- the collapse of the dolar will be used to force the Amero and the associated 'Union upon' us and there is nothing you can do about it.

Ahmadinejad, a man of words without real power, is the big winner of 2006, because Bush, America, and Israel were the big losers.

Why do a billion Muslims prefer Ahmadinejad to America? That is the question that needs to be addressed.
