"The US is more of an open business enterprise than it ever was....we used to have lawyers as bought-and-paid-for politicians but recently have gotten rid of the middlemen front and elected out-and-out businessmen...and businessmen need to make money and they hate competition and they certainly hate charity. They also view people as "customers", there to be used and "sold" things...and if cheating customers is the way to big bucks, well, "let the buyer beware"....the seller is free to do whatever."


-- I'v always disliked the quote from Calvin Coolidge that "the business of the U.S. is business." Fuck you, Coolidge. (But, he was right.) I remember in the early 1990's when I was taking college courses and working for Bank of America, and my professor told us that we students are now considered as "customers"; and in the bank, my supervisor told us that what we always called and knew as bank branches, are now regarded as "stores" in which we (tellers) must "sell, sell, sell!" on a daily bases. That's when I quit working there, and instead got a job working for an anti-Semitic Turk (Azeri-Iranian), and that didn't last too long since each time the Turk opened his mouth about the "Juhud" which in Farsi is as derogatory as "kike", "yid" or "hymie", I took it personally since my professor, friends and the daughter of a reform rabbi whom I was dating... were Jews, and my knee-jerk reaction was to raise my voice and advocate on their behalf: considering that this "Turk" Iranian didn't know a thing about Jewish history. And, he wasn't the type of person who was saying these things because he was sympathetic toward the Palestinian struggle... NO! he, as a Turk-Iranian hated Arabs, too. They, in his words and estimation, are "lower than us... we are Aryan, we are white... blah... blah... blah...".



It's unfortunate that the fascism formed into neoliberalism, beginning with the experiment on Chile in 1973, when the Marxist doctor, Salvador Allende, implemented a social-democratic model, leading Nixon/Kissinger to plan to make the Chilean economy "scream", as we did to Saddam in the 1990's, and sanctions against Iran, which, like Iraq when a half-million or more Iraqi children slowly and painfully died in the arms of their loving mothers and fathers. It all started with the Thatcher/Reagan rise to the top where they imposed the neoliberal bullshit set up by the "Chicago boys" Milton Friedman, a student of German neoliberals, Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich Hayek, (known at the time as "crazies"! by the Keynesian clan... but, now... they are in the front seat... and that's scary)!

And, of course, the Vietnam War was nothing but a corporate endeavor to pump up the business model of neoliberalism... and from then onward each "war" was a mean to an end: to maximize the bottom line... no matter how many innocent people were massacred and "mowed down" -- which the Israelis call "mowing the lawn" each time they invade and incinerate a people who are trapped within "one of the biggest open air prisoners in the world... under siege... under bombardment... under a "special diet" in which they are given only a small portion of food... based on the intake of calories which will not starve them to them, but just keep them hungry and weak and delusional. Here's Professor Juan Cole from 2012 breaking it all down:
