I completely missed this until it was pointed out to me. Tony Blair revealed his true colours and the media didn’t notice either:

“There is a tendency even now, even in some of our [US] own circles, to believe that they [THEM] are as they are [THEM] because we [US] have provoked them [!] and if we left them [!] alone they would leave us [!] alone. I fear this is mistaken. They [THEM] have no intention of leaving us [!] alone.” Tony Blair on ‘extremist Islamic ideology’

Separate the ingroup (US) from the outgroup (THEM) in order to set the scene for a fight. Someone in such a position of power and influence should not be using such language in these dangerous times. Satan’s spawn these politicians.

Seems to be no better way of putting it so I’ll present it all as it is:

In the counsels of government we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1961.

The first stage of fascism should more appropriately be called corporation because it is the merger of state and corporate power. -Benito Mussolini

Then

Come you masters of war
You that build the big guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know I can see through your masks

And I hope that you die and your death will come soon
I’ll follow your casket through the pale afternoon
And I’ll watch while you’re lowered into your death bed
Then I’ll stand over your grave till I’m sure that you’re dead
- Bob Dylan

and now

There are more human beings awake and aware than ever before in our history here on Earth. -Fire the Grid

Consciousness

'...a word often used in everyday speech to describe being awake and aware - responsive to the environment, in contrast to being asleep or in a coma.' -Wikipedia
