Bushco's agenda is moving ahead full throttle regardless...

stirling newberry at kos uses more words per thought than most of us... i have a few comments on his recent diary...

George Bush represents an impulse among one of the groups of elites of America to remake America in their own image. This impulse is to create a top down society, run by economic elites, supported by a wall of true believing retainers, and one where the rest of us grind along making enough to keep us from getting too unhappy, And if we do get too unhappy, then fear can be used to keep us in line.

i don't disagree at all with the fundamental premise... i do, however, think that it's more than an "impulse..." it's a grand plan, detailed and comprehensive and it will continue to unfold, regardless of polls and indictments, as long as bushco is holding the reins of power...

What old line academic, media and other technocratic elites - the people who ran the Liberal Democracy - don't realize is that this impulse to remake society extends even to those who seem more reasonable. They see Bush as incompetent or bumbling. He is bumbling, but he is, like many would be remakers of society, relentless in his pursuit of the cause.

a high percentage of the members of those "other" elites are in full complicity with bushco's agenda... many of them have a high stake in remaining in their positions of power and influence and, in order to do so, must stay aligned with the centers of real power and money...

i also find it hard to accept a "bumbling" bush... i think some calculcations have been made in error, witness the current libby events, but those have been made out of arrogance and zeal rather than incompetence... what appears to us as incompetence i think is deliberate - cause chaos, sow doubt, create fear and distrust... and here's why i think that...

[E]ach crisis will come with a demand for even more power. ... [H]e will get what he wants in the end. ... [H]e has more damage yet to do.
