Subject: On the NWO

Hello Richard K. Moore:

I have just read on the PNEWS list your article on Human Rights
and the New World Order.

I thought that it was a brilliant summation of the current global
changes being wrought by the corporate elite.  Thank you for
providing it to me and to all your readers.

To me  one of the most powerful counterforces to the "inherent
sociopathic amorality" is likely to be an informational resource
where people interested in extending human rights might turn
for details on the corporate players in the NWO and the activities
of their economic, propaganda, social and military wings.

Right now a good deal of information is available but widely
scattered.  Corporate pollutions records in the U.S. are available
from the EPA, corporate track records are available in the archive
of the Multinational Monitor and so on.  But as far as I know there
is no central repository that people and their governments can
turn to for details on imminent disasters that are about to engulf
them.

It is as though the British Enclosure movement were being replayed
globally with the entire planet at stake.  Thus it seems that we
(humans) have not yet learned to effectively cope with the phenomenon,
so it has escalated.

Do you have any ideas on an organization that might be willing to
sponsor such a global information source and make it available on
the Internet?

Best regards,
Tom Parker

I would like to point readers at a wonderful essay by Doris Lessing, that
appeared as a preface to "The Golden Notebook", not the original edition,
but a subsequent one. She covers a lot of ground in that piece, and is
extremely good not just on the subject of education (she also covers
communism/socialism, feminism, the role of the book). I will try to recall
as best I can -- please forgive me, I did read it a long, long time ago.

Doris herself was an early dropout, and when later people wrote to her
saying they were doing scholarly pieces on her book this or that, it must
have been flattering. However, what bothered her was that typically, the
students had written in to ask who were the major critics of her work.
Her response was, well, if you must write about my book, why don't you
put down what you think,  instead of worrying about the critics? And the
response came, because that is what is demanded. (My own view is that we
have all been perverted as school children with the emphasis on "the
right answer.")

She points out, that to evaluate a system, you must look at the rejects
of the system, as she herself was. If one were to be honest with children
in the education system, one would have to tell them that the system was
designed to indoctrinate them. Some of the best would not survive through
the process, but most of the rest would be indoctrinated. We have not
succeeded in evolving a system of education that doesn't do this.

Now, please go read the original, and do flame me if my precis is terrible.

Yeah, what about Reagan? A man with Alzheimers, who forgot today what he
had decided yesterday? How convenient!

People treat Nazism as this horror that could not possibly happen to
anyone except the horrible Germans. Well the Germans are people just like
you and me, we are as gullible for this sort of thing as they were. True,
they had exceptional circumstances -- our current leaders are better at
marketing, though, than Goebbels ever was.
