Empire and Social Insecurity: Battle Plans of This White House It was hard to sit still and watch his smug bully’s face
during the February 2 State of the Union speech. It was infuriating
to watch the standing ovations of the surrounding Congress, or hear
the fawning patter of the news media.
In official traditions, the President tells Congress each year how
the "Union" (meaning the United States) is doing. In

Noam Chomsky discusses Bush and Strategies to Control the 'Beast' Imperial Presidency: Strategies to Control the Great Beast
By Noam Chomsky

the rest of the world-and conversely: what happens in the rest of the world
cannot fail to have an impact on the U.S., in several ways. First, it sets
constraints on what even the most powerful state can do. Second, it influences
the domestic U.S. component of "the second superpower," as the New York Times
ruefully describ...
