“
When will the dropping of bombs on innocent civilians by the United States, and invading and occupying their country, without their country attacking or threatening the US, become completely discredited? When will the use of depleted uranium and cluster bombs and CIA torture renditions become things that even men like George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld will be too embarrassed to defend? Australian/British journalist John Pilger has noted that in George Orwell’s 1984 ‘three slogans dominate society: war is peace, freedom is slavery and ignorance is strength. Today’s slogan, war on terrorism, also reverses meaning. The war is terrorism.

4 THE NORTHERN NEWT Not many years after the first newt colonies had been settled in the North Sea and the Baltic a German scientist, Dr. Hans ThĂŒring, found that the Baltic newt had certain distinctive physical features - clearly as a result of its environment; that it was somewhat lighter in colour, it walked on two legs, and its cranial index indicated a skull that was longer and narrower than other newts. This variety was given the name Northern Newt or Noble Newt (Andrias Scheuchzeri var. nobilis erecta ThĂŒring). The German press took this Baltic newt as its own, and enthusiastically stressed that it was because of its German environment that this newt had developed into a different and superior sub-species, indisputably above the level of any other salamander. Journalists wrote with contempt of the degenerate newts of the Mediterranean, stunted both physically and mentally, of the savage newts of the tropics and of the inferior, barbaric and bestial newts of other nations. The slogan of the day was From the Great Newt to the German Übernewt.

« Nous sommes toujours en 1929 et, cette annĂ©e-lĂ , George Washington Hill (1884-1946), prĂ©sident de l’American Tobacco Co., dĂ©cide de s'attaquer au tabou qui interdit Ă  une femme de fumer en public, un tabou qui, thĂ©oriquement, faisait perdre Ă  sa compagnie la moitiĂ© de ses profits. Hill embauche Bernays, qui, de son cĂŽtĂ©, consulte aussitĂŽt le psychanalyste Abraham Arden Brill (1874-1948), une des premiĂšres personnes Ă  exercer cette profession aux États-Unis. Brill explique Ă  Bernays que la cigarette est un symbole phallique reprĂ©sentant le pouvoir sexuel du mĂąle : s’il Ă©tait possible de lier la cigarette Ă  une forme de contestation de ce pouvoir, assure Brill, alors les femmes, en possession de leurs propres pĂ©nis, fumeraient. La ville de New York tient chaque annĂ©e, Ă  PĂąques, une cĂ©lĂšbre et trĂšs courue parade. Lors de celle de 1929, un groupe de jeunes femmes avaient cachĂ© des cigarettes sous leurs vĂȘtements et, Ă  un signal donnĂ©, elles les sortirent et les allumĂšrent devant des journalistes et des photographes qui avaient Ă©tĂ© prĂ©venus que des suffragettes allaient faire un coup d’éclat. Dans les jours qui suivirent, l’évĂ©nement Ă©tait dans tous les journaux et sur toutes les lĂšvres. Les jeunes femmes expliquĂšrent que ce qu'elles allumaient ainsi, c'Ă©tait des « flambeaux de la libertĂ© » (torches of freedom). On devine sans mal qui avait donnĂ© le signal de cet allumage collectif de cigarettes et qui avait inventĂ© ce slogan ; comme on devine aussi qu'il s'Ă©tait agi Ă  chaque fois de la mĂȘme personne et que c'est encore elle qui avait alertĂ© les mĂ©dias. Le symbolisme ainsi crĂ©Ă© rendait hautement probable que toute personne adhĂ©rant Ă  la cause des suffragettes serait Ă©galement, dans ta controverse qui ne manquerait pas de s'ensuivre sur la question du droit des femmes de fumer en public, du cĂŽtĂ© de ceux et de celles qui le dĂ©fendaient - cette position Ă©tant justement celle que les cigarettiers souhaitaient voir se rĂ©pandre. Fumer Ă©tant devenu socialement acceptable pour les femmes, les ventes de cigarettes Ă  cette nouvelle clientĂšle allaient exploser. » Norman Baillargeon, prĂ©face du livre d’Edward Bernays, « Propaganda ». (É. Bernays Ă©tait le neveu de S. Freud)

Journalist Tony Horwitz describes its laser show as an unfortunate mix of Coca-Cola, the Beatles, the Atlanta Braves, and Elvis sining "Dixie," followed by the "Battle Hymn of the Republic." Television ads end with the inclusive slogan, "Stone Mountain: A Different Day for Everyone." Eventually the desire for everyone's dollar may accomplish what the physical elements cannot: eradicating Stone Mountain as a Confederate-KKK Shrine.

His “real” identity became an obsession of journalists after the uprising, and when one journalist took him at face value that he had been a gay waiter in San Francisco, he wrote, “Marcos is gay in San Francisco, black in South Africa, an Asian in Europe, a Chicano in San Ysidro, an anarchist in Spain, a Palestinian in Israel, a Mayan Indian on the streets of San Cristóbal, a Jew in Germany... a pacifist in Bosnia, a single woman on the metro at 10:00 p.m., a celebrant on the zócalo, a campesino without land, an unemployed worker... and of course a Zapatista in the mountains of southeastern Mexico.” This gave rise to the carnivalesque slogan “Todos somos Marcos” (“We are all Marcos”), just as Super Barrio claims to be no one and everyone.
