WASHINGTON

From: Dr. Robert John, ichee@aol.com

Mr. Bush and his piratical cabal that are commanding the American ship of state first threatened, then conquered Iraq. Then they threatened Syria. Now France.

Speaking on the Charlie Rose television program,-- U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell said April 23, 2003, France will face consequences for having opposed the United States over its war on Iraq.

Mr. Bush and his piratical cabal that are commanding the American ship of state first threatened, then conquered Iraq.

Then they threatened Syria.

Now France. Not Russia or China-the smallest. Isn't that cowardice? France supported international law, that the USA oligarchy uses only when it wants to.

At a conference in Germany in 1997, partly sponsored by UNESCO, ICHEE director Dr. John said, "The world is under a growing imperium (definition: command not subject to definition or limitation of function; absolute command) with unassailable American military power."

Abstract:

The power and policy of the U.S.A. seem directed toward moving the peoples and nations of the world into an American Union, a European Union, and an Asian Union, and merging these into a World Union of central authority with military power. Yet specific limitation of central power, and retention of optimal power by an informed electorate, were part of the concept of the Founders of the U.S.A., as was the principle of benign neutrality and non-interference in the affairs of other states. Ethno-national cultures can evolve and conflict be reduced by boundaries that allow for common mobilization for defense of interests. National boundaries and self-rule are checks upon exploitative trans-national agencies or corporations. Regional confederations with minimal explicit powers should deal with regional concerns, all subject to the ballot of individual voters.
