ronald reagan margaret thatcher cabinet talks washington

On 8th April 2013, the former Atlanticist Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Margaret Hilda Thatcher, died in London of a stroke after a long illness. Margaret Thatcher's passing drew to a close a period in the United Kingdom's economic history beset by chronic social upheaval and major re-arrangement of the United Kingdom's domestic economic systems. Thatcher's governance of the United Kingdom began in 1979 and ended on 1990 under the stewardship of the British nationalist Conservative movement. Thatcher's period in office is, within the United Kingdom, generally regarded as an important one and is commonly presented in the U.K., and particularly within the United States Empire (U.S.E.), as being the point at which the United Kingdom renovated its domestic outlook away from a Keynesian model of economic intervention and toward the doctrine of de-regulation and free-trade as set out by a number of U.S.E economic strategists. Thatcher's passing in the United Kingdom has been met with strident and widespread enmity and contempt from the general domestic populace.

Chief among the complaints voiced by the public has been political and historical revisionism, continuing failure to address long-standing societal problems brought about by the mainstream political parties, continuing political sponsorship of division and national disharmony, enmity of political policy-making targeted at the poor, disabled, infirm and economically unviable, maladministration of the nation's finances, political hegemony and persistent centrist strategising....» read more

george w bush proclomation of intent to assault iraq march 17th 2003

On March 17th 2003, the 43rd President of the United States; George W Bush, issued a proclamation broadcast to the domestic population of the United States. In it, he ordered the head of state of Iraq, a foreign sovereign nation in south-west Asia, to leave his position as head of state and hand over control of the country to the United States military. The proclamation contained within it the sum total of all propaganda efforts of the United States security and military sectors, and its dependents, toward south-west Asia for the previous twenty one year period. Bush stated in the proclamation that Iraq had successfully manufactured weapons of mass destruction (aka WMD) which he claimed were about to be used by the leadership of Iraq against the United States and its dependencies. The proclamation was heavily laced with an insistence that the United States had pleaded with Iraq for many years to stay development of such weapons, and also that Iraq had actively belittled the United States wishes even when articulated through the United Nations (U.N.). Throughout the proclamation, Bush insisted that the United States government had acted without fault throughout the period covered in the address, counter-weighted by an insistence that Iraq had acted with persistent hostility throughout the same period.

The proclamation was delivered to the American people via terrestrial and satellite broadcast in 13 minutes and 34 seconds....» read more

Extremism: The roots of tactical nationalism and ethnic cleansing.

The role and polity of tactical nationalism has become increasingly visible within the United States as its previous foreign policy framework of direct military intervention into foreign states has waned. Since 2009, elements within the United States Empire and its multilateral partner states and dependencies have searched for a range of opportunities to continue with interventionist polity while avoiding the strident and withering hazard of hostile domestic public opinion.

While the so-called "War on Terror" polemic has obviously lapsed and become inoperable, the overall tendency toward polity of intervention into foreign states has not diminished. As the end of 2012 approaches and 2013 begins, the United States Empire and its primary dependency the United Kingdom, are cautiously but actively engaged with a policy of intervention into the sovereign state of Syria. At present, the country is in the midst of appalling human rights abuses committed by ultra-nationalists intent on deposing the socialist government of Bashar al-Assad, a key foreign policy initiative of elements of the United States and United Kingdom. Since 2011, both the United States and United Kingdom have allowed nationalist elements within their ranks to articulate subversive polity directed toward Syria....» read more
