 I found this from Henry...
“Almost as if according to some natural law, in every century there seems to emerge a country with the power, the will, and the intellectual and moral impetus to shape the entire international system in accordance with its own values ... In the twentieth century, no country has influenced international relations as decisively and at the same time ambivalently as the United States."
Hmmm. He continues...
"No society has more firmly insisted on the inadmissibility of intervention in the domestic affairs of other states ... No country has been more reluctant to engage itself abroad.” Please check this link to see a long list of US interventions.
What I find most staggering about this is the doublethink.
Doublethink was defined by Orwell as...
"The ability to hold two contradictory thoughts in one's head and believe in both of them simultaneously." Just read what he said again and see if you get what I mean.
And... I always tell this story but tough, you're getting it again.
When I was in school my history teacher went on a rant about Kissinger explaining that he was a bit (a lot) of a bastard. I put my hand up and said
"Sir, I heard he has a really high IQ. 180 or something." the reply came back...
"Yes, there are lots of intelligent criminals."
I would like to thank that teacher for that particular piece of brilliance.Labels: Blair, bliar, bush, Doublethink, Iran, Iraq, Kissinger, liars, Lying, Orwell |
Your teacher was spot on. Kissinger is such a pig and what surprises me is that people still listen to the asshole as if it had something other than shite.
