Stan Goff Speaks

MM: I don't think you're boring us at all with the details. So can you make the connection to potentially the benefits of getting Afghanistan under control for the extraction of oil?

SG: I think it's a pipe dream. I don't think they can get Afghanistan under control. What I've come to believe is that really the U.S.'s ability to dominate the entire planet is unraveling. This is just part of a historical evolution that is at some point inevitable and I think it's about to happen. I think what they're doing now is not something they're doing out of a position of strength but out of a position of desperation and panic. These are very panicked kind of moves in a sort of broad overall view of things which makes them exceedingly dangerous.

I think historically we can go back and see that when big capital gets in trouble and the market's not working for them anymore they have to find a way, cause right now there is a worldwide production over-capacity that's created a recession that's about to go deep and about to go long and one of the ways that they've traditionally gotten themselves out of that is to liquidate a bunch of that capital and the best way to liquidate capital real fast is war. That's the way they correct the problem they use non-market mechanisms to correct for a fallen rate of profit within a market economy.

And I think what's even more dangerous is we are looking at this huge imperial power that's the United States right now and they're trying to control everything at once and their empire is beginning to unravel on them and I think what is particularly dangerous for people like me and probably people like y'all and a lot of your listeners is that in the process of doing this they're going to have to exercise more and more despotic measures at home to step on resistance and so I think we're really in very serious and immediate danger of an emergence of a form of fascism in the United States. And I think John Ashcroft at the helm of the Justice Dept. is not a particularly great thing and I think if people take a close look at the kinds of initiatives he's involved in right now in this bizarre Orwellian sounding The Office of Homeland Security with Tom Ridge of all people. These are very disturbing developments.
