necessary myth

In politics, a necessary myth is what the powerful elite creates to fill an ideological or spirtual vacuum in society, with the purpose of giving the populace something to believe in. The myth can be a certain religious idea, the promise of a better future for all, or if everything else fails, the promise of protecting us from the nightmare of terror and nuclear holocaust.

Alqaeda as an extraodinary well organized and powerful network with tentacular reach was a myth created by the Neo-Conservatives. It was a necessary myth cogitated out of whole cloth by these to get a firmer grip on power and farther their misguided agenda.

freakshow politics

Used by certain political groups or agents. Freakshow politics is a divisive type of strategy that capitalizes on extreme aspects -usually negative ones- of the political opponent and utilizing those thru media and propaganda to attack that opponent's character and reputation instead of tackling the real facts and issues at hand.

John Kerry and the swift boat debacle, that was freakshow politics at its best.

Jim (shooting towards the store): Damage cuntrol, damage cuntrol...

citta slow

from the Italian "citta" meaning city and English "slow". It is a new trend in living that started in the Italian city of Orvieto. The concept of Citta Slow or Cittaslow tries to promote quality of life by creating a more humane and ecologically correct environment, and thru enjoyment of food, art, theatre, community gathering places etc... The movement is a staunch opponent of globalization and the increasingly fast pace of life. This an excerpt of the Cittaslow Manifesto: “towns where men are still curious of the old times, towns rich of theatres, squares, cafes, workshops, restaurants and spiritual places, towns with untouched landscapes and charming craftsman where people are still able to recognize the slow course of the Seasons and their genuine products respecting tastes, health and spontaneous customs...."

Walmart and MacDonalds hate the Citta Slow movement and hope it will never see the day of light in America.

Precautionary Principle

It is when a country attacks another country (or entity) that it fears may plan to attack it later. In other words, it takes action not because of factual threat but of mere potential risk. The precautionary principle is also applied when someone is detained or jailed not because of what he has actually done but because of what the government or police think he may potentially do.

The United States attacked and occupied Iraq using the Precautionary Principle. Nothing would prevent it to use the same principle to attack Iran.
