Global Domination or Global Leadership
by Zbigniew Brzezinski
This was a hard book to follow. Mr. Brzezinski's prose is a little too high falutin' for me but I can distill the whole book in this one excerpt,
"What is the central purpose of America's unprecedented global power? The answer will ultimately determine whether international consensus legitimates and reinforces American leadership, or whether American primacy relies largely on assertive domination based on might."
Brzezinski goes on to argue that it's better to lead by example than to dictate by military-backed fiat, but, as Spiderman's uncle once said, "With great power comes great responsibility."
America views itself as the historical champion of democracy, and subliminally exports democratic values through the currents of globalization -- but this also generates world-wide expectations of America that do not accommodate the hierarchical demands of hegemonic power.
In other words, to whom much is given, much is expected. And Brzezinski makes that point clearly,
Only if it places a higher premium on the emerging awareness of a shared global interest will America derive any political benefit from its globally radiant cultural appeal.
As I said this book was written in an ostentatious manner, but the points Brzezinski makes are thoughtful and thought provoking.
This is White on White Racism. They voted all of the Whites out of the
Democratic Primaries Cause they thought that it would be easier for the
Republicans to win re-election against a Blackman.
And they definetely don't want to run against a Whiteman. They made sure,of
that, when John Edwards was kicked out first thing smoking.Then they voted
Hillary out. With the help of their rich Republican supporters. Then when
the General Election comes around, then they vote Republican, and vote
their Original Candidate in. Thats cheating. They never allowed anything
like that in the 70's; But of course, they do anything today. The things
that use to be applicable. Are no longer applicable.
That use to be forgery. And Secret Service would arrest you for it. But
today, they let people get away with anything. Just like Bush, they let him
get away with anything. Ya'll better shape up. And get awift of these
people's tricks. Ole White on White Racist that they is
