War on Tyranny: next phase of global agenda: W. Engdahl

Next Phase of Washington's Global Agenda: From the 'War on Terrorism' to the 'War on Tyranny'

A Peek Behind Bush II’s ‘War on Tyranny’
by F. William Engdahl

<In recent public speeches, George W. Bush and others in the Administration, including Condi Rice, have begun to make a significant shift in the rhetoric of war. A new ‘War on Tyranny’ is being groomed to replace the outmoded War on Terror. Far from being a semantic nuance, the shift is highly revealing of the next phase of Washington’s global agenda.

In his 20 January inaugural speech, Bush declared:

"It is the policy of the United States to seek and support the growth of democratic movements and institutions in every nation and culture, with the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world."

The use of tyranny as justification for US military intervention marks a dramatic new step on the road to Washington’s quest for global domination. Washington, of course today, is shorthand for the policy domination by a private group of military and energy corporate giants, from Halliburton to McDonnell Douglas, from Bechtel to ExxonMobil and ChevronTexaco, not unlike that foreseen in Eisenhower’s 1961 speech warning of excessive control of government by a military-industrial complex.<snip>

This article examines the energy strategy behind the so called "war on terror" now morphed into a phony and hypocritical "war on tyranny."
The malleable target list of nations is analyzed.

In this effort,every stratagem known to tyrants before him will be pressed into service:Xenophobia, racism,religious intolerance, manufactured events,( terror inducing events like 9/11, Demonstration Elections like Iraq)outright cooption by bribes and threats,everything will be fair game.Even Hermann Goering would be proud of his disciple.
