Stan Goff's "Open Letter to Robert Gates"

Here it is - and while this letter is both accurate and honest, none of the deadly musical chairs the zombies change in DC is going to stop this monsterous regime Stan Goff hits them [and us everyday Americans] where it hurts, here is an excerpt (Hint, pursue the links!):

We are generally ignorant of the Washington Consensus which seeks to subordinate the whole globe to the interests of the US State as the guarantor of profit for transnational corporations and a tidy return-on-investment for Wall Street speculators. A very few of us know, yet, that this bipartisan consensus is a consensus on the primacy of American imperialism.

The American public, not from any lack of intelligence, but from incessant
indoctrination, does not know that defense contracts serve as a surrogate for disappeared export markets, and we haven’t put it together yet that without an infinite “war on terror” to justify these contracts, the American economy’s basic weaknesses would be exposed: unsustainable growth, accumulation through dispossession, mountain ranges of household debt, and dollar hegemony.

When we do put it together, it will expose the manipulative perfidy and hypocrisy of the two ruling-class-run parties who seldom bicker about the Washington Consenus itself, only about how it is managed.
