He says also: « It would be nothing less than scandalous for the United States, which was founded on humanistic and democratic principles, to attempt to replace the old empires of the past and to deny the fundamental democratic right of other peoples and other nations to self-determination » … (full text quotations).

And he says: « An incompetent politician who surrounds himself with competent people can pull it off. However, if he is dumb enough to surround himself with like-minded people, failure becomes a certainty » … and: « The two biggest curses of humanity have been religions and wars, and both are often intertwined » … (full text quotations).

And he writes: … … For one, the presumptive Republican presidential candidate John McCain who never met a war he didn’t like, has already tried to stoke the fire of conflict by calling for the 26-country NATO to get involved in what is essentially a local ethnic conflict. On the campaign trail, John McCain said: “We should immediately call a meeting of the North Atlantic Council to assess Georgia’s security and review measures NATO can take to contribute to stabilizing this very dangerous situation.” Incredibly, the republican candidate is attempting to profit politically from this faraway crisis by advancing the frightening prospect of turning a small regional conflict into a world war. This could have something to do with the fact that Mr. McCain’s foreign policy adviser is a former lobbyist for the government of Georgia and is a former neocon lobbyist for the U.S. military invasion of Iraq. This would seem to be a direct conflict of interests and reason enough for Mr. McCain to refrain from throwing oil on the fire. I have said it and this incident confirms it; this man would seem to be unfit to be in charge of a heavily armed country. (full text).

And finally he said: « An organized minority is most of the time stronger politically than a disorganized majority » … and: « The fact that we do not have a good government does not mean that we are not governed » … (full text quotations).

Je parlais l’autre jour d’un article du professeur Rodrigue Tremblay qui nous expliquait qu’il n’y avait pas lieu de s’attendre à de grands changements avec l’éventuelle arrivée au pouvoir de Barack Obama. Violations de la constitution, écoutes électroniques illégales, financement des activités religieuses, déni de l’énergie nucléaire à l’Iran, maintien du budget militaire à un niveau stratosphérique sont tous au programme de l’élégant charmeur de serpents. Obama s’apprête à faire subir la même chose que Bush au reste du monde, mais avec de la vaseline. C’est en gros pourquoi M. Tremblay conclut que Sen. Obama may be a better alternative than Sen.

Qu`est-ce que l`Union nord-américaine? La réponse dépend de la personne à qui vous parlez … En réalité, au Canada et au Québec peu sont au parfum de ces plans. Pourtant, aux États-Unis il y a déjà plus de 19 états qui se sont officiellement opposé à ces plans. Ici par contre, un seul parti politique en parle, alors que même Harper c`est prononcé en faveur d`une telle intégration et que le processus se poursuit. Nous sommes maintenant en campagne électorale et aucun parti autre que l`Action Canadienne (PAC) en fait un élément de leur plateforme en s`opposant vigoureusement à de tels plans. La question est à qui ce partenariat offrira t-il plus de sécurité et de prospérité? Pour répondre à cette question nous devons prendre un peu de perspective sur l`histoire: … (texte entier, sept. 13, 2008).
