Political Control

A good article over at lewrockwell.com, with the following quote"

Norman Mailer once said he believed the United States, in its endless pursuit of war and domination, had entered a "pre-fascist era." Mailer seemed tentative, as if trying to warn about something even he could not quite define. "Fascism" is not right, for it invokes lazy historical precedents, conjuring yet again the iconography of German and Italian repression. On the other hand, American authoritarianism, as the cultural critic Henry Giroux pointed out recently, is "more nuance, less theatrical, more cunning, less concerned with repressive modes of control than with manipulative modes of consent."

Exactly. Noam Chomsky and Edward Herman wrote a book on this. I once wondered were the powers that be going to control the masses through drugs, or thought control It is as though we have had two competing methofds being foisted on yus. By now, I think we can see the decisions is in. Do both.
