A Discordian Dilemma
16/02/2009
“ this idea that every issue (e.g. the financial crisis) is a security issue is truly an artifact of our moment. it displays the continuing mutation of the u.s. into a security or police state, in which the model of response to anything, the basic form of understanding, is a domestic application of a military-style command structure. of course it entails that the response must be a state response, since the security of the nation (i.e. “homeland,” a term that obama likes as much as bush did) is a state matter. it is also, of course, just an attempt to render the terrain a complete mind-numbing confusion, and to emphasize in every context government responsibility for the safety of citizens, to inject the tinge of physical fear into every matter. „
