John Pilger — “Obama & Empire: Power, Illusion & America’s Last Taboo”
I suggest that we take Woody Allen’s advice and give up on hope, and listen instead to voices from below.
What Obama, and the bankers, and the generals, and the IMF, and the CIA, and CNN, and BBC fear is ordinary people coming together and acting together. It’s a fear as old as democracy, a fear that suddenly people convert their anger to action as they’ve done so often throughout history.
“At a time of universal deceit”, wrote George Orwell, “telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
