Title A name given to the resource TomPaine.com Stories Description An account of the resource TomPaine.com -- a liberal advocacy organization -- distributed a public call on August 12, 2002 for 300 word "opinion advertisement" similar to those that the organization had been running regularly in the op-ed page of The New York Times. TomPaine.com received hundreds of submissions from the public, most of which the September 11 Digital Archive has preserved here. TomPaine Story TomPaine Story: Story He was barely president--in terms both of the election outcome and time in office--and it appeared already that he was on his way out. Few saw him as a two-term president. Then, mysteriously, on September 11, 2001 George W. Bush ""hit the Trifecta"" (his words). At that moment the world changed for America, but more importantly it changed for George W. Bush. He was instantly the icon of a stunned and vengeful America. Just like that, this nitwit who obviously had become president by political and judiciary slight-of-hand, was transformed into a potent leader. There is a sucker born every minute, and you CAN fool some (if not most) of the American people all of the time. Anyone with Karl (with a ""K"" as in Mien Kampf) Rove as his Minister of Propaganda is not likely to go down without first throwing a fist full of sand in his opponents' faces. 9/11 has taught us that the rich and powerful will stop at absolutely nothing. In Zbigniew Brzezinski's 1997 book titled ""The World Chess Board"", he makes an impassioned argument for the US to embark upon a course of economic and military ""Hegemony"" to save the world from itself. Brzezinski suggests this will require control of Eurasia (Europe and Asia) by the US, and it can be accomplished only by controlling the world's last great oil reserves in the Caspian Basin. Among the countries that border this gigantic oil pool are Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, et al. One of these pawns has now fallen. Which will be next in the US quest for world hegemony? Watch the evening news and find out. A More Perfect Union? Sorry, but you simply can't get there from here.
