Another figure, Osama bin Laden also began his rise to power. Although he disliked Americans in the Soviet war effort, bin Laden was considered to be an ally to the United States. After the war, he would then orchestrate attacks against the western world, and would be the mastermind of the September 11th attacks in America, which caused the U.S to invade
He was against the Mexican War declared by American Government, as it was unjust to colonize other nations (United States itself was separated from British colonization through revolution). For this misdeed, he was imprisoned for a night. Although the crimes and the length of imprisonment of Thoreau and King were not same, both shared the same motive. Jacobus has pointed out that both Thoreau and King were willing to suffer for their views, especially with punitive laws denying civil rights to all citizens (King, 211). Socrates, a great philosopher in human history, also had followed the same path of breaking unjust laws.
His sacrifice to speak out against his entire race oppressor cost him his life. His militant leadership caused a huge uproar and threat to “white America.” Change began to develop because people like Malcolm X began to stand up for rights they were entitled to. He used his knowledge to intellectually argue the unjust society in America. He learned how to frame a debate so he could be sure he would win and ultimately cause his opponent to contradict themselves. Most importantly Malcolm X advocated education to his people in every speech, debate and interview, because his entire purpose was to create “black nationalism” and the only way that could ever happen was if his people were educated and not just diploma educated but educated with the understanding of what was taught.
Chile 1973 Salvadore Allende was elected President of Chile in 1970 and ran a socialist government. President Nixon fear that Chile could possibly became another Cuba which followed the Soviet example of Communism. The United States cut off most foreign aid to Chile and supported Allende’s opponents during his presidency. Nixon wanted a coupe by any means necessary to overthrow the Marxist government of Allende. Nixon was quoted in de-classified CIA documents as saying “make their economy scream (in Chile to) prevent Allende from coming to power or to unseat him.” The United States main goal was to get rid of the Marxist government and they had two approaches.
But we didn’t want an independent thinking man. We needed a puppet like Karzai to rule once the Taliban who offered Bin Laden without evidence were turned down and it became apparent that they were on their way out. Didn’t these people in the councils of government here know and feel that there was going to be radical shift in policy towards Central Asia and The Middle East? And what about the Pakistani government and the military, doesn’t this prove what people have been saying overall that many high ranking officials knew where Bin Laden was the entire time? That they were taking billions in counterterrorism money all the while laughing and dancing around and entertaining Bin Laden.
ImperialismOsama bin laden and his followers charged another thing on United Status that the UnitedStates is using his power in the countries where it has military occupation formerly and thegovernments of these countries are alike puppets for it.They also blame that the United States unseat the government who turn against it and denyaccepting his order.There may be others factors about it that why Bin Laden do not like America or hate it. It can bestate that until unless these factors are present the issue of terrorism and insurgency is difficultto resolve. It is also seem that it is difficult to bring any improvement in the politicalcircumstances in the Middle East without resolving such
No matter what one’s ideology is, some will blame a chamber of Congress, the other will blame the White House. It is clear that both used the proletariat masses as hostages to make the other side to capitulate because of their unnecessary suffering because of their willingness to throw a wrench in the cogs of the federal Government. In this day and age, partisan politics is just as much as a societal scourge as racism, sexism and other types of prejudicial strife. It is seemingly that the Founding Fathers intended to use a form of conflict theory that would keep American society in check. What has been called, “Checks and Balances” is indeed a form of conflict theory.
Are not all political films propaganda? Before Fahrenheit 9-11 opened in American theatres, Moore was proclaiming that it would be his instrument to remove George Bush from office. The filmmaker claimed he would show all the evils of the present administration in such a way that even hard-core conservatives would vote against Bush. Political propaganda appears when the group usually government or one of its agencies, uses techniques of influence in order to achieve goals which are clearly distinguished and quite precise. Sociological propaganda, on the other hand, is a sort of persuasion from within (Ellul 1973,p.64), which results when an individual has accepted or simulated the dominant economic and political ideologies of his society and uses them as a basis for making what he regards as spontaneous choices and value
For the left it seems all quite paradoxical, and hypocritical: the Administration denounces Salvadoran guerrillas for blowing up power stations and attacking villages, while at the same time it supports Nicaraguan guerrillas who are doing the same thing only a few miles away. But the idea that intellectual honesty requires one to be for or against all revolution is absurd. You judge a revolution, as you do any other political phenomenon, by what it stands for. Suppose you believe that justice was on the side of the central government in the American Civil War. Does that commit you to oppose the Paris Commune of 1870 or the Hungarian revolution of 1956?
Although now the U.S isn’t worried about the idea of communism, we are tackling the threat of terrorism. And while we’re no longer in WWII, we are currently in a war in the Middle East and vigorously trying to fight the war on terror in our own country. Nobel prize winning philosopher Marxist, spoke about the McCarthy era after the fact and said “You’re country is sick with fear... you are afraid of the shadow of your own bomb.”(Schneir) The United States must not be afraid of what has happened in the past, we need to learn from
