Bill Sykes' Newsletter
from America.
(June 2005)
An ex-Brit gives his views - (without
fear or favor) - of the American Scene
Last
word:
 Is
the exportation of American capitalism, (under the guise of democracy), creating
a world exposed to the corrupt practices of American Upper Corporate Management,
which has become more and more prevalent within the American Corporate world
and has even been evidenced in the hallowed halls of American government as shown
by the actions of powerful lobbyists trying to influence members of Congress.
The question then arises as to whether it maybe the other way round and American
Corporate Management and Government Officials are duplicating the corrupt practices
of Third World Governments?
Proposals are currently being bandied around in Washington
suggesting that the "Patriot Act" should be
expanded in order to give the FBI, and other law enforcement
agencies, more surveillance power in order to combat
terrorism.
I would suggest that any expansion of the Patriot Act is a step in the wrong
direction as it could bring the United States closer to becoming a dictatorial
Big Brother Totalitarian State, where freedom of the individual would be severely
curtailed.
A recent poll indicated that 87% of the American people polled were against
expanding the Patriot act.
Disclaimer:
Some of the information gathered for this newsletter
is gleaned from American and International media sources,
(including the Internet), and as such is quoted as accurately
as possible.
I try to obtain confirmation on each subject from several outlets, so the text
is a mixture of composite news items and personal comments and therefore the
reader must make his/her own judgement as to the reliability and degree of
accuracy of the subjects discussed.
Eric (Bill) Sykes. (California).
