The Living Force
the thing that struck me about this as being so evily manipulative is how it was turned into such a grotesque 'media circus', and used as a tool of 'acceptance' of the new order, I think.
I turned my TV on for about 4 seconds, and was assailed by the madness that is a public hanging, amplified by the power of television into a global public hanging, complete with full backing and endorsement from our 'leaders'.
I wonder if in some way this is meant to transfer the responsibility for the demonisation and hanging (either Sadam or whoever the hell he really was) onto the public at large, by swamping us all with the media coverage. a kind of: "it's ok, this is the normal way to deal with these people. anyway you all watched it and nobody said anything. it's what you all wanted."
The interview with Tony Blair was er interesting, where he tried to weasel out of actually saying explicitly that he supported the death penalty, but was obviously visibly gloating about the event. I get the impression that his 'acceptance' of this event is also 'supposed' to rub off onto the general public: if Tony B accepts it, then we all accept it by proxy. in a way, it is creating a dictatorship of thought, simply by pronouncing it.
well stuff you Tony, you don't speak for me with your 'pronouncement by pronouncement'. Its not accepted just because you say it is. The whole thing is just sick.
