"The One Percent Doctrine" is a book by Ron Suskind. The full title is "The One Percent Doctrine: Deep Inside America's Pursuit of Its Enemies Since 9/11." The book addresses US policy since 9/11 and Suskind discusses Dick Cheney's statements to the effect that if there's a 1% chance of some kind of terrorist attack on the United States, the US should pretend it's a virtual certainty and act accordingly.
"Cheney’s Power No Longer Goes Unquestioned"
So says the New York Times, on ... jesus, was it yesterday? That can't be right?
Tectonic plates shifted, musta been weeks ago. Which speaks to the whole concept here.
Ain't no small thing. The idea there exists in natures any lever with which to pry Cheney from his seat. I'll leave you to think about what seat.
But what I think is, Whoa—A strike for Democracy!
What I think is, The battle for Democracy has been going on over here. We The People vs. Halliburton, in the largest sense.
You dislodge that Monstrous Machine, you done something for the People. I don't care if it's just the GOP wanting to ever get elected again. Doesn't matter. That's the democratic process, that's life.
But the Halliburton-Corporate Profit-Amoral-Death-Machine belongs to no process but to promote itself and its own—that's what makes it amoral, it has no business running the White House (course in this case someone had to) and, well, I am pretty much too stunned to know sensibly what to say.
It was already like Christmas to read about Rove's demotion.
Oh are Happy Days are Here Again?
