I agree that seeking a clear source of controll is futile, but the subtle power games and who is pulling strings where, is all there is to do, and is the attempt to decipher the power mechanisms that we resent. I do see the USA as the source, generally, just because following dollars is always true, money talks, and right now, no doubt its mostly in the USA, by far more than UK and Canada together. <br><br>I see what you mean about your university, but there are ways to get more specific information, if one wishes. Universities receive grants, sometimes you can just see the grants from "suspect" sources, such as US military funding medical research, DARPA grants, etc etc. and certainly NASA grants. THis is with regards to science/health, for instance, certainly atomic energy committee grants are something to look for, etc,. Other spooki issues...sometimes there are professors who are retired from security agencies, and it is safe to assume their retired status is questionable. Now the CIA launched a program for academic recruiting, which will make it worse. <br><br>I still think the USA has by far the deepest entanglements, except maybe now ISrael (being a backyard shithole). In canada at least some of the population resists and raises awareness, whereas in the USA...well, not much is happening, maybe the Hawaii University resistance will create momentum.<br>Also, you can't really compare the ruthlessness of the AMerican social regime, compared to UK and Canada. You have NO social protection at all, which means some people are naturally defenseless and make up "slaves". ONce a person has no housing, shelter and NO social assistance, let alone medical insurance, he is food for sharks of this sort. By definition. The USA is the source of this social regime and tries to enforce it on the whole world, so they don't feel so bad. This has certainly been the case here. So it is a combination of ruthless capitalism (exported as well) and the usual violations of human rights that ANY country will have, if the law and society let it pass as tolerable.<br><br>This is the only difference. Control and enslavement in Canada/UK is achieved through bureaucracies, and then one has slightly better chances of resisting. <br><br><br><br> <p></p><i></i>
