because no one will notice these things for you.
Because noticing them only increases their power
and range and potential for revolution.
Because you have to stand up and do your own noticing.
Because it's socially responsible"

Pentagon Aims Guns at Lynch Reports
"What is particularly sad in all of this
is that a wonderfully hopeful story was available
to the Pentagon to sell to the eager media:
one in which besieged Iraqi doctors and nurses
bravely cared for – and supplied their own blood to –
a similarly brave young American woman
in a time of madness and violence.
Instead, eager to turn the war into a morality play
between good and evil, the military used –
if not abused – Lynch to put a heroic spin
on an otherwise sorry tale of unjustified invasion."

THE UNCHALLENGED "EVIDENCE" FOR WAR
"Unfortunately, the politicians and their p.r. people know
all too well the propaganda dictum related twenty years ago
by Peter Teeley, press secretary to then VP George H.W. Bush...
'You can say anything you want during a debate,
and 80 million people hear it.
If “anything” turns out to be false and journalists correct it,
so what? Maybe 200 people read it, or 2,000 or 20,000.' "

A Conversation with Jonathan Schell
"What do you hope readers will take away from this book? "
"Confidence that there is a better
and more peaceful alternative
that is both hopeful and practical
than this path of escalating warfare
that we seem to be on. In other words,
a belief that if we turned away from this militarized path,
there really is solid ground to set our foot on
– if we would only decide to do so."

Inverted Totalitarianism
"...Thus the elements are in place: a weak legislative body,
a legal system that is both compliant and repressive,
a party system in which one party,
whether in opposition or in the majority,
is bent upon reconstituting the existing system
so as to permanently favor a ruling class of the wealthy,
the well-connected and the corporate,
while leaving the poorer citizens
with a sense of helplessness and political despair,
and, at the same time, keeping the middle classes dangling
between fear of unemployment
and expectations of fantastic rewards
once the new economy recovers.
That scheme is abetted by a sycophantic
and increasingly concentrated media;
by the integration of universities
with their corporate benefactors;
by a propaganda machine
institutionalized in well-funded think tanks
and conservative foundations;
by the increasingly closer cooperation
between local police and national law enforcement agencies
aimed at identifying terrorists, suspicious aliens
and domestic dissidents."
