9. The cultivation of fear and the fertilization of hate has become the contemperary divide

And conquer tactic of the hidden state apparatus. While a select few, imagine dick Cheney as the kindest of this lot, subdue the proletariat with fear of other and hate for government. This is only a subterfuge for the accumulation of power and a bizarre super status which can be viewed as a proxy of monopoly and the game played by the computer in "Wargames", global thermal nuclear war. You and I are not invited as participants to this joyless carnival of kill but we are expected to be happy, smiley witless victims. Our protestations are a balm to these ghouls to whom us poor would be better off in prisons or in uniforms fighting and dying as strangers in strange lands for strange ideologies in which the higher the body count the better. Doesn't matter whose bodies. The security state is nothing more than a functionary of this hidden state, it is transnational, transideological but always opaque, never transparent in who it's prime cohorts are or whom the advantages of its tentacles protect. From the darkness of extraordinary rendition to the palaces of water boarding, from the secret foreign prisons to the infamous castle of the disappeared in Cuba called Guantanamo it is fear and hate the state is selling and you will buy or else.
