    David Edwards and Chris Tackett / Raw Story | March 30, 2008

    John Cusack was on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher and spoke about his upcoming film, War. Inc., which according to Cusack focuses on the military-industrial complex.

    The film, says Cusack, differs from other films inspired by the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan because, it “has a much more absurdist take on [war].”

    Cusack added, “some things are so vicious if you didn’t look at them through a different lens you couldn’t get out of bed. And certainly the war profiteering, immorality and illegality of this disastrous, free-market Utopian enterprise out there is certainly well-documented.”

    While explaining that the film shares similar themes as those found in Naomi Klein’s book, The Shock Doctrine, Cusack said, “the very core things that make up our government like wars or interrogation or border patrol, jailing, any of those types of things that you would think would be sacred things that would happen with the state are now being turned into for-profit enterprises. And if you want all these things to be, if you want corporate ethics to be our national interest, then you have the situation we’re in now. But right now, when you think that we’ve out sourced everything to interrogation, which means torture is a cost-plus enterprise, I think you can see a complete spiritual bankruptcy to this whole neo-con movement. It’s a nightmare beyond anything you can really imagine.”

    Maher asked if these issues were just a result of a neo-conservative movement and Bush administration or evidence of a “rot in America itself that is a lot deeper.”

    Cusack responded, “Yeah, I do think the issue goes deeper, a lot deeper.”

    Adding later, “Some of these truths are so horrible you don’t want to think about that, but it’s just — I mean the gig’s up. If guys who are statesmen on CNN are also sitting on the board and are shareholders in some of the most profitable defense contractors in the world and they publicly make the case to go to war, got to war, then create a new market with the war, come back and speak evangelically about free markets that aren’t free, these aren’t particularly subtle fact and the stock prices jump 145% and their companies are awarded $2.3 billion contract. After a while you have to expose and shame and indict and hopefully convict the participants in this illegal immoral ideology.”

    The full interview can be seen in the video below.

      So is anyone calling out bill maher on his attacks on the ‘911 truth seekers’, etc. and how they need to consider a prescription for Paxil …but yet he lets John Cusack come on his show and treats him like ‘normal kinda of’ folk ? “Oh john working on a movie ?” “Are you on the set of some movie”?

      See here’s the deal Bill …john is making a movie about profiteering from War. And for this to work, some of the very same things that the 911 truth seekers are attempting to expose is part and parcel to the larger formula. I imagine John’s movie will offer us the necessary ‘tesserac’ or parts of it …but will anyone even have the contexts to get it ? ? ?

      Just my 2 cents. Also, imo, John Cusack prolly doesn’t even get what he is producing but at least he’s not scared and afraid./

      Obviously Bill is …oh well I used to like him.

      john is making a movie that is essentially going to copy and reform a few different movies:

      Iraq for Sale
      Why WE Fight

    2. Steve Says:

      why are comedians the one bringing the truth? because they get you to laugh while you get some real information in your brain, and you think you’re having a good time….

      now, wake up!

      the USA has been artificially built up and paid for , for years, with 9 trillion in debt, 6 trillion in trade-debt, almost 3 trillion in credit-card debt, and the dollar and private property going down the tubes, it won’t be long now….

      so, STOP wasting money on new cars and ipods and PS3’s and toys and rubbish,

      get off the fluoride
      get off your ass
      learn to use firearms, and how to actually live in a tent in the bush for more than a week

      or, enjoy martial law, Alex isn’t kidding, the elite love killing, and will machine-gun entire towns in the usa with foreign troops if they need too….

      and yes, it’s going to happen sooner rather than later,

      God bless,

      Steve

      The fear of the label, only reason anyone with a shred of common sense would still dare entertain the govt account of 9/11
      It isnt about ‘getting real peeps’
      just about truth in any direction we can get it, because no one really knows anything except they are monsters. With evidence everywhere of U.S Govt corruption in plain site when not under the thumb of the MSM = a wide perception that the US has already fallen….

    4. jim Says:

      screwloosechange is one of the dumbest attempts at debunking ever almost as stupid as mark roberts duh

    5. ENGLASSE Says:

      Hmmm…Lockheed Martin….owned by the Jesuits.

      Who got a contract to conduct census taking in Canada…52 pages long….
      scary….that they weren’t happy with.

      Who also own Bank of America.

      You know, that bank with bullet-proof glass around the tellers cages?
      Every body hates them. At least everybody I know whose had an account
      with them.

      Now the treat our Banks would be Federalized….hmmm…which means
      they’d also be owned by…..

      But I digress.

      Glad Bill said that about Obama. My worst fears are that he picks zombie
      Al Gore to run as Vice Pres. Call me crazy but Vedic Astrology has been
      spot on about every presidential assassination and the 44th is coming up.
      Terrible thought. Frightening thought.

      Al would screw us into oblivion. He was so very concerned about our
      health that he created a fake environmental scam, pushed for and
      succeeded in outsourcing our food production, shut down small farms
      and ushered in the hi-tech industry that won’t feed us, won’t help us
      breathe, would shut down the internet, will create more manmade satellite
      engineered hurricanes, i.e. Katrina, and trigger those little ‘thingies’ our
      government has installed in our water systems that shoot poisons more
      deadly than fluoride into our drinking water.

      ALWAYS, ALWAYS loved John Cusack.

      But,

      We remain…..f---ED!!!

      @danksta:

      Please stop debunking the 911-truth. shame on you.
      stop trying to affect peoples minds, and let everyman think 4 for his self!!

      thank you

    7. Steve Fossett Says:

      Sooo many NWO agents in here spouting treasonous propaganda. I Love to imagine a world where treasonous criminals are brought to justice ie. hanging from a tree like the nazis after the nourenberg trials. The 1st American Revolution was fought because of far less. They created the internet. That is the only good thing that this regime has done. I mean Al Gore created the internet. It is our right to bear arms to protect the constitution from enemies foreign and DOMESTIC. Arm yourselves and protect your family and property.

    8. Khaled from Cairo Says:

      John Cusack is the man! RAISE AWARENESS PEOPLE! the American people first and foremost!
      People only listen to powerful and rich people.. whether they’re good or bad.. John Cusack is a good man.. The GIG is UP! the governments of the world need healing especially the US’s…

    9. Jeff in Fort Lauderdale Says:

      Way to go John!!! This is a huge step in the truth movement. All we want is the TRUTH!

    10. Junglelord Says:

      I pray to god this wakes up the american people once and for all and gets them off their butts and overthrow the bankers, lobbiest, bought government.

    11. Junglelord Says:

      listen bill, your alquadia never did anything more then hijack planes….with cookie cutters. So what weapons and what do we have to fear except fear itself> even though they do not exist as a nightmare organized force as fictionally portrayed.

    12. Alyssium Says:

      I like what John Cusack says in this interview but it seems both he and Bill Maher are still operating under the belief that there’s a difference between NEOCONS and the Democrats. John appeared to resist being pinned down on who he supports. I get so tired of Bill Maher’s arrogant assumptions. Have you seen John’s movie “The Jack Bull?” It’s an interesting treatment of the concept of Natural Justice/Law in the Old West.

    13. officer johnson Says:

      maher is a whitewashing piglet. a whore to the elites who run his and our life.

    14. Chris Says:

      I like John Cusack, he’s a good actor. It’s good to know that there is some hollywood actors that acually care about real issues and not just how much money they have. From this interview it seems like Cusack knows his stuff and he’s informed. So thats good.

    15. Zanoske Says:

      John Cusack is quite awesome. Hes an excellent actor, makes very good films, and evidently is political and I had no idea. I just watched the trailer for War INC. and it looks good, I pictured more of documentary than anything else, so the fact that its a real movie kind of threw me off. But I’m excited. Any movie thats going to show even just a bit of the tyranny and stupidity of the American government will be spectacular.

      I agree with 22 that he seems informed, the fact that he says things like ‘it’s vicious’, and ‘the gig is up’. Maybe with all of his high level contacts the gig really is up. Talk of another 9/11 investigation in the UN, movies becoming more and more open about the feelings of the public, more people becoming aware of the lies. Things are actually looking better. Its a small small step, but atleast its one in the right direction.

      April 15, 2008 is coming up fast and I hope you will all participate in said events. Please go to my forums to learn more.

      If by rational you mean completely off his rocker then you are correct. Sorry bud but your one minority, Danksta, that will become smaller and smaller till the rest of you cowards are ready to jump on the bandwagon that is the freedom movement in this country. Buy into what ever spin the media puts on it, and know that the media has always been the ruling elite’s greatest weapon. How does it feel to be a victim of it? The foolish and decieved public always resort to the same psychological escape routes that keeps them snug and wrapped in the blanket of ignorance. Would you know the difference between truth and distorted lies? Do you supply yourself with the news from just your television? Probably. I know reading requires attention span and if your too busy drinking cool aid, smoking dank, and listening to lies your attention span is about spent on worthless junk. Your a freaking product of a system designed to keep sheeple’s like you in line and distracted. Like it or not, your government hates you and will further enslave you, unless Patriots who aren’t afraid to live outside the tv and video games stand up to the oppresors.

    19. Christopher Says:

      Maher is a f---ing corporate disinfo junkie f--- pig ! Way to go John Cusak….finally someone other than Rosie or Charlie has some balls to stand up and expose these NEOCON f---heads !
      The threat is very serious. Time to network and stand together ! Remember strength in numbers. They can’t put us all in a FEMA concentration camp but they can try to make us think we are free meanwhile setting up their new world order where none of us have any rights. We are slowly giving up our civil liberties more and more. Time to WAKE the f--- UP AMERICA !

      2008: Final Two Words –
      QUAGMIRE & IMPEACHMENT

      What Americans think, feel, vote, and say has zero bite.
      With millions of votes Diebold stolen, accountability – so slight.
      NeoRadical RepubliCons chose how to so waste our might —
      Just where, when, and why we had to go START a fight.
      They’d planned for Iraq, with 30 years more oil still in sight.
      Must control the price and flow into OUR gas tanks, right?
      Exxon-Mobil, BP, Shell – profits future sure looks bright!
      Hyped bogus threats, then fanned the flames to such great height.
      9/11, Anthrax, and the mushroom cloud types of fright.

      Pulled the Towers, then, with balled-up flags to plug their ears:
      A Patriot Act panic attack => waived our rights to calm the fears.
      How well a shredded Constitution wiped away our wasted tears.
      Slick magic trick: lasted 800 years – now Habeas Corpus disappears.
      Load the planes with C-notes, no bids please, as toxic dust clears;
      Corporate warriors – No Draft! It’s a private war – Three Cheer$!
      Fat cat$, well fed by exce$$ corporate greed, $uch profiteer$
      Billions borowed daily – vastly wasted, now six straight years.
      Tens of billions fraud, whistleblowers stalled in Justice: no one hears.
      Say what, a change of plan to end war profits? Sharpen up the spears!
      Another traitor to be skewered, trot out the NeoCon-tradicting seers.
      From Limpbowel, O’Rlie-to-me, and their ilk, we start to hear the jeers.
      Interrupting homophobic rants about “No Marriage for queers”,
      To deliver freshly think-tank-framed simplistic scripted smears.

      Sad sight, so many flags draped over coffins never seen.
      The sinister lies that filled them burried deep beneath such patriotic sheen.
      Human losses well disguised, and media filtered from our collective eyes,
      By corporate puppet leaders, whose agendas we must now despise.

      Pity Iraqi families, alone with blood, pain, death, despair,
      Depleted uranium shells explode – poison dust spreads everywhere,
      While pompous jingo windbags fill the U.S. propaganda-polluted air,
      Will spews of false praise glory, hide the true neglect in veterans’ care?
      Fox Snooze hype NOT, as your heroes, our loved ones lost;
      Their blood for oil – spent badly – much too high this cost.
      Keith Rupert Murderdoch, the boss who must be tossed!

      Long past his “Mission Accomplished” day in years now more than four,
      One so delusional Decider is still not looking for an exit door.
      One aggressor, an invasion-occupation, it never was a war!
      The stench, the smell – corruption, failures everywhere,
      Yet all we hear is that which plays upon our deepest fear.
      A drone of platitudes preached to stretch our stay another year.

      “The job is almost done! “
      “Must keep them Terrorists on the run!”
      “We sure can’t abandon Iraq until we’ve won.”
      “Sorry for the 100 dead civilians per insurgent one.”
      “Just aother 30,000 surge, so send us your brave sons.”
      “Trillion dollar debts, their kids can pay these no small sums!”
      “Waterboarding works. Don’t call it torture. We don’t break thumbs!”
      NO NO NO! Time true Patriots stand and shout “Impeach these Bums!”

      Lean hard on traitors, like Lieberman, to not just lose their parties,
      But to find our Republic again, while we still have one!
      Target the REAL Axis of Evil => IMPEACH Cheney-Bush!
      Perhaps small justice, but at least some

      Danksta your an idiot!! Just an observation…..

    22. raleigh Says:

      Folks Controlled Demolition inc. was at Oklahoma city, in charge of “clean up.” And I have seen video I believe on one of the 911 doc’s on google that slows down, and shows controlled demolition inc. at ground zero after the fall of the towers. Now if we know that OKC was an inside job, what is the difference with the twin towers? Why was controlled demolition inc. there if there was such short notice? This question has NEVER been addressed. And surely is reasonable to ask wether you believe in it being an inside job or not. Investigate it for yourself.

    23. hilary155 Says:

      One thing about this interview that struck me was that Bill Maher never addressed the accusations presented by Cusack. Bill Maher’s says over and over that the dems ain’t no better and he says nothing else. Nothing. Listen to the interview again. All Maher does is tries to create more two party puppet show. Cusack does not take the bait. He stays on message.

      Oh… and BTW

      rjmichigan Says:
      “Danksta your an idiot!! Just an observation…..”

      Um, YOUR is a possessive pronoun. YOU’RE is the verbal contraction for YOU ARE. dumbass

    24. Tony Stark Says:

      hillary,

      rj is a dumb-ass for leaving out an apostraphy?

      Ok, so Cusack is calling attention to the war profiteering. I’ll give him a golf clap. However, the war profiteering is like pointing to a cerial killer driving by and shouting ‘that guy is speeding!’.

      So the Bushies are making some coin on the side. Big deal. If you’re not willing to admit and discuss the idea that the one singularity that enabled this regime to commit these crimes was 9/11 and that 9/11 was carfully planned and orchestrated by certain criminals within our government, then all this ‘awairness’ is folly.

      These people are so criminal and evil that they are prepared to do whatever necessary to hold on to their power. If they let go of it, they are doomed because of what they have done. They have no choice but to carry this out to the bitter end.

      John Cusak going on Real Time talking about war profiteering and mercinaries is pure folly and nothing else. Maher knows this and that is one reason Cusak was even allowed to speak. Wake up people.

    25. Winston Says:

      He said he would only support a candidate that would promise to immediately leave Iraq and end the Military Industrial Complex.

      There is only ONE candidate that would do that.

      Ron Paul.

      I wonder if Cusack knows that?

    26. Gary Says:

      Bill Mahr is a stooge for the Elitist-controlled media, just like Glenn Beck and Lou Dobbs. He plays the role of being anti-establishment to keep those with that viewpoint pacified and still believing the media is “fair and balanced” when it’s anything but. Like Beck and Dobbs, he says only enough to keep up the charade, but never so much as to blow his masters’ agenda.

    27. Tony Stark Says:

      danksta,

      You ARE a moron. It’s ok, just close your eyes and keep repeating ‘there’s no place like home’. Three clicks, my man. Three clicks.

    28. sinic Says:

      hilary take your Nazi grammar enforcement and shove it up your ass.
      I am sick and tired of grammar fascists.
      Unfortunately a lot of us have not had the pleasure of being indoctrinated at public schools or scam colleges.
      The message was conveyed irregardless.
      And what also was conveyed is your apparent ocd. Sorry we cannot reach your heights of intelligence and grasp your knowledge of the English language,you are obviously better in every way.

    29. Gabriel A. King Says:

      I’ll bet my left nut that John Cusack is a closet 911 truther. Johnny has been doing his homework. It’s obvious by observing his demeanor in this interview, that he takes privatization and subversive war mongering very seriously. He even through in a little about Blackwater. No doubt John sees the corporate wolves in a feeding frenzy in cahoots with big brother.
      Notice Johns seriousness in this interview. He genuinely cares about the atrocities, and the profiteering of it. He even went so far as to call the neo cons “hoodlums”. There can be no doubt left, that John Cusack is truly one of us- and I see this interview as one of the most important celebrity public statements since Charlie Sheen went public on 911.
      I will definately see this new film Cusack helped make about the military industrial complex.

    30. birgit Says:

      “Danksta says : everyone can’t be in on a conspiracy”

      Why can’t they, they are OWNED by the same small group of people.

    31. Gabriel A. King Says:

      Danksta. Watch the video. John Cusacks statements are a clear indictment of the facist relationship between secrative government, and corporations. Cusack is clearly against the war in Iraq, citing profiteering as the major objective set forth by the neo cons.

      If Cusack had been any more overt, he would have jumped up and shouted “911 inside job”. I don’t understand the logic of your statements yet.

    32. vivi Says:

      Bill Maher is a big, yada yada JERK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so glad to see people I admire come forward with the truth. I’m glad they are seeing the truth.

      John I hope you know Ron Paul is still running for president.

      Is anyone familiar with these truthers?

      Is Bill a closet Truther who , secretly allowed this to happen?

    35. Disturbed.American Says:

      I always liked john cusack and now i know why.

    36. Gabriel A. King Says:

      For those of you still doubting the existence of a conspiracy, consider this:
      All the secret societies that control everything behind the scenes need to do is stage another false flag attack like 911, and then the following executive orders will go into effect.

      EXECUTIVE ORDERS signed by William J. aka Bill-derberg Clinton:
      #10995- Seizure of all communications in the United States

      #10997- Seizure of all electric power, fuels, minerals, both public and private

      #10998- Seizure of all food supplies and resources

      #10999- Seizure of all means of transportation, and total control over highways, waterways

      #11000- SEIZURE OF ALL AMERICAN PEOPLE FOR WORK FORCES UNDER FEDERAL SUPERVISION,
      INCLUDING THE SPLITTING UP OF FAMILIES IF THE GOVERNMENT “HAS TO”.

      #11001- Seizure of all health, education, and welfare facilities both public and private

      #11002- Empowers the Postmaster General to register all men, women, and children in the United States

      #11003- Seizure of all airports and aircraft

      #11004- Seizure of all housing and finance authorities, to establish forced relocation. Designated areas to be abandoned as “unsafe” establishes new locations for populations

      #11005- Seizure of all railroads, inland waterways and storage facilities, both public and private

      #11051- Provides the Office of Emergency Planning, complete authorization to put the above orders into effect in times of increased international tension, or economic crisis

      #12919- Signed by Bill Clinton June 3, 1994. Encompasses all of the above Executive Orders

      I could go on all day posting hardcore facts, laws, and information. Some people can see the forest through the trees. While other sheeple can’t see the forest, or the trees, or the big bad wolf, even if he was rifling through their picnic baskets under the Military Commissions Act.

    37. Gabriel A. King Says:

      Danksta. Do you believe 911 was an inside job? Like Hitlers Riechstag?

      “That’s easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”- Hermann Goering, President of the Riechstag, Nazi Party, and Luftwaffe commander in Chier,
      who by the way burned his own building and blamed it on a foriegn enemy in order to unite the German people behind a declaration of war.
      Same as 911 was used to justify a never ending “war on terror”.

    38. Elmer Laahne Says:

      Hmmm..good intentions, but please AMERICA can you not wake
      up and realise that it is almost to late, who funds Obama, who funds
      the “other side”? Is your industry gone to china, yes, is your currency
      dying on the world stage, yes it is. Tear down the hole goverment and
      the military industry too, set up citizens courts and hang these people.
      I am an Norwegian, and loves americans, and what used to be “America”…

      John Cusac is a good guy and would probably go even further, Bill Maher is
      a gatekeeper and should be tried along with other false prophets i a citizen
      court ASAP.

      Start talking to each other, speak the truth, dont be afraid, more will follow
      i a few get it going, inside us all, we know the truth, and the instict of what
      is right and wrong lives inside each and every one of us always, the sooner
      people realise this, they will see the lies and deceptions instantly!

      Kind regards and empathy from Norway

      New World Order Country no.1 (a nightmare)

    39. The War Economy Says:

      It’s not JUST the private contracted mercenaries that should leave the Middle East,but definitely the soldiers as well. The whole thing is illegitimate(meaning ‘illegal’). Cusack does deserve some respect for saying what he said,but then again,he must still go deeper,you know like-9/11 deeper.
      None of the presidential candidates are going to come right out exposinbg these issues unless they plan on committing political reputational suicide. So don’t count on that. But,if they do come out more and more,we can all push together to push these ‘hooligans’ off the cliff. I’d like to see Maher lead the push. He’s wondering and that’s a very good thing. His questions show understanding and even compassion now. Why? I don’t know,but it is promising. Who knows what Maher will say next. Maybe he’ll just come out with it. The guy may be slowly but surely cracking open. Good!

    40. Captain Chaos Says:

      i am glad to see hollywood celeb’s standing up for the american people.
      it looks like he is serious about this whole ordeal. it really isn’t funny anymore.

    41. Highwayman Says:

      John Cusack is a tool for the nwo. He is getting closer to the mark but he dropped the ball on Occult and Esotaric agendas. He thinks this is a war for money when this is clearly a war to set precidents for the comming era of the NWO. This isnt about money they have all the money in the world, this is about power and erasing all opposition to their power. He doesn’t see both political partys controled by that hidden hand, he still sees them as independent groups. He doesn’t see the controling hand of World Elite, Only reason he was let on tv was becouse he doesn’t know the full picture.

      Remember the Rulers will try to give us our leaders and idols to look up to, It is your job to see and judge for yourself.

      danksta,

      You completely avoid what I say and come back at me with pointless drivel. Keep living in a kid’s world? Listen you little titty baby, I’m all growds up and a self sufficient tax paying citizen. No doubt that I make more than you do and I am better educated.

      Let me dumb this down for you so you’re pre-school intellect can process it. John Cusak and Bill Maher don’t have to be knowing participants in a conspiracy to be used by those who are. I don’t know if you noticed…but some things you can say in public venues such as newspapers and TV, and other things are not allowed. You know, that idea of free speech you have – it’s total bullsh*t. You can’t even peacefully assemble without a permit.

      This fact that only certain ideas are suitable for public discussion is why the MSM doesn’t interview the makers of Loose Change or the representatives of We are Change. They don’t because they aren’t allowed to.

      If the MSM wasn’t tightly controlled they wouldn’t be afraid of interviewing ‘the kooks’. How incredibly naive and f*cking idiotically stupid you are for assuming that you’re government doesn’t lie to you on a daily basis with a polished excellence of a predatory lender.

      In this world, you f*cking patsie, the distribution of information to the public is highly coveted by the elites that make the very decisions that trickle down to the worthless masses, i.e. you and me.

      So, moron, the entire world doesn’t have to be in on every detail. Only the handful of people who own the media and the banks know the whole story, or need to know it. They specialize at compartmentalizing their schemes. Is it really necessary that the hand knows details about the eyes, or ears, or brain? What is necessary for you to know? Just do you’re job and be a good little consumer. Good boy.

    45. Tony Stark Says:

      Danksta,

      I don’t hate you. I’m completely emotionally detached from you. It’s the way you think that makes me cringe with disgust. It’s your logic that’s revolting, the logic of a patsy.

      People like you, or people with no personal power don’t understand the strategy behind impeccable manipulation.

      People that stalk power and control over others don’t go around broadcasting their selfish intentions to everyone. Stalkers never push themselves to the front. People like you cannot fathom this behavior because it directly opposes your own simplistic idea of how to go about using other people or otherwise getting what you want out of life. You would try to manipulate people by making a spectacle of yourself, in other words, by pushing yourself to the front. Real stalkers of power stay in the shadows. Real stalkers make people believe that they themselves choose the path the stalker sets in front of them. Real stalkers only need to give a gentle nudge to prod the hesitant bumbling blind idiot along.

    46. Tony Stark Says:

      Danksta,

      Not exactly true. You just mentioned it again. ;)

      These demented deranged psychopaths who truthfully are good for nothing (as even Third Countries read books!), now want to destroy their own American people, their own country and their own U.S. Federal and State governments and call that their job security; with no better educated politicians paying them our U.S. tax dollars thinking that these lawless malefactors and their miscreants have found another way to break our laws and get away with it! -Al Koppel.

      ‘Cause there’s only rehashed faces on the bread line tonight
      Soon you’ll be a figment of some infamous life

    53. matt Says:

      One more comment, why is it that whenever there’s a crisis, the same agency responsible for causing the crisis is the same agency that requires infinitely more power afterwards in order to “protect” the public. i.e. CIA, NSA, FBI, and more recently, the federal reserve.

    54. h5mind Says:

      Hopefully Mr. Cusack hasn’t just kissed the rest of his career goodbye by disagreeing with the government version of reality. Many others have lost much more for less cause in this surreal War on Rational Thought. As far as the minority of the population that still clings to the notion of a clumsy, but otherwise benevolent government, I imagine they will continue to hold this view even as they are passively chipped and herded into railcars destined for the nearest FEMA re-education center. Even during the Revolutionary War, there were scores of citizens who, although unhappy with the many injustices wrought upon them by the British occupiers, no doubt felt they would be rewarded in due time for their stubborn loyalty to the Crown. Groveling was never my strong suit, but if others choose to do so, I say, “May your chains rest lightly upon you, and may posterity forget you were our Countrymen.” (Samuel Adams)

      We as the majority of the human species need only seek education and to educate others if we truly want peace and liberty, we must once and for all of history cut away this cancerous growth, the elite as we call them. When I say educate I don’t mean expensive collage that is now a days no longer an institute for higher learning, that is for the exception of the more fiscally fortunate of the populous, and is now an industry of indoctrination of sex, football, clep tests and is mostly a popularity contest. Most young people will happily assimilate themselves into any institution so long as they can stave off having to participate in the minimal of personal thought which comes with truly standing on your own two feet for a few years. Learn to be an autodidactic and stop your pity fighting over minor trivial ideological beliefs and unite, no more us and them, just us and no more them and we, just we. Help plant the seeds of dissent, and a wave of indignation and sedition will grow exponentialy, if we want it to. Know that even if you believe that those around you are un-saveable, willfully ignorant, and partially lobotomized sheeple that what ever you tell them or show them can never be unseen or unheard. We have to get the truth out of our heads and out of our blogs, out of this cabal and into the collective consciousness. We must make it part of the lexicon. I find humor is the easiest and least abrasive way to do this and because only with due respect and dignity (remember we all have feelings and most of us are still completely sensory creatures running from pain to pleasure) can we hope to get the average “GOOD’ citizen to begin to rebel mentally then the logical next step is a conscious action. No more false revolution merely ubiquitous enlightenment. Fight Ignorance, Fear and your own Egotistical Narcissism

      The obvious thin skin exposes the shallow nature and rationalizations of those offended by revealing corruption. It is unfortunate we have such a preponderance of effective disinformation and distraction. The naive assumptions, regurgitation of establishment propaganda and lack of a realistic, sustainable vision for the world expose them as willfully ignorant.

      Our society has evolved and left behind some very basic, self preserving behaviors, one of which is independence at all levels. We’re too satiated to feel we are losing anything. Let someone else take care of us!

      We’re much too like the frog in water warming to boil and it will surely be too late unless people wake up, start to care for all kinds and eradicate the worship of greed and monoculture.

    68. ben dover people Says:

      the truth is that the nwo is coming… & there’s nothing that people can do to stop it. all you non-religious folks out there should re-consider the evidence. in the last war (armegeddon) it says that flesh will melt off of peoples skin & that the blood will run as deep as a horses bridle. the euphrates river will be crossed (which has just become a reality in the last 50 years since they built a damn across it that could be used to completely shut off the flow of water). & the 200 million army coming from the east across it to attack isreal (which in biblical times would have been a stretch to think of an army with that many people) but today is not that hard to imagine looking at china & indias population of 2 billion. so… buckle down & realize there’s nothing you can do to stop it. if you don’t believe in God. then some human being person like yourself will make you your rules & regulations & give you your rights. hope you like what they come up with.

      side note: you people out there that are paranoid about being tracked by little chips… you people thcink that you’re not being tracked already..? i have an ipod touch that you push 1 button and it pinpoints your exact location on an aerial & street map on the device. i’m sure your cell phones can be tracked & located at anytime they want to know where you are. remember that this is not just the information age. it’s the light speed information age. you buy too much fertilizer at wal-mart they’ll come knocking.

    70. Tom Says:

      Is John Cusack that out of touch with what has been going on in the Ron Paul Revolution?

      i think the last comment hit it on the nose. that there is nothing we will be able to do about this new world order corporate regime witch has been time and time again threatening our country and has not shown any signs of slowing down but instead progressing at an alarming rate more so through the bush administration. the economy is finished, and soon many people will know poverty. poverty will create crime, crime will create civil unrest. then they will come for our 2nd amendment. then more terror will sweep america alongside promises of protection from the terrorist. just give up more of your freedom they will say. the war will continue and spread to korea no matter who they choose to be our leader. there will be a civil rebelian in this country a great push for our freedom . but the push for freedom will be thwarted by the architects creed, divide and conquer.

      they will divide the ethnicities in this country and play them against each other giving way to a great confusion. our cry for freedom will be lost through the kaos that shall dilute our cause. our patriots will be labeled terrorist… we will not see it coming.. they will reveal their true technological capabilities. a friend of mine who has worked for the government in fields such as phototechnology, satellite and laser technology, once said ” the technology the government poses is like the stuff you see in star wars. ” they will give us plagues, famine, civil war and in the end ultimate subjugation. and we will not even see it comming. perhaps we as people are destined to go through this great tragedy in order to someday unite this world and have it stand together in the light of true peace. thtas what i’d like to think.

However, while listening to you struggle to identify even one presidential front-runner who echo’s your sentiments, I found myself screaming at the computer monitor, “RON PAUL, John! RON PAUL!! NOT OBAMA! NOT HILLARY!! NOT MCCAIN!!! Surely, SURELY you know about Ron Paul, right?

      To the rest of us: Can you imagine what a hit “War, Inc” would be if Mr. Cusack were to endorse Ron Paul? An entire revolution would get behind it. *sigh* I’ll never understand Hollywood.

      John, you are missing a few vital points. Your statement is a complete and totally impossible contradiction; a free market nation cannot be a warfare nation. A warfare nation by its essential function requires high levels of confiscatory taxation, state intervention into industry for the military industrial complex, and a foreign policy of imperialism and interventionism; all of which are not features of a truly free market society. You can begin your education by ceasing to read the histrionic polemics of socialist revivalist Naomi Klein and begin to educate yourself via the Austrian school, go and see Murray Rothbard. He fought his whole life against the warfare state and welfare state, both as being counterproductive and immoral. The biggest misconception today is that people cannot separate the government and socialism from society and free enterprise, socialism creates more crony capitalism. We are still be ruined by John Maynard Keynes statist policies to this day; Ludwig von Mises and economic freedom for all!
