11. I have long begun to wonder if the average citizen of Israel is as powerless as the average Amerikan
Imperial Subject.

I cannot say, for even though I have numerous relatives in Israel, I have never asked them about it. Further, it's the kind of question that, in this Age of Inverted Totalitarianism (which, unlike Classic Totalitarianism, mimics the trappings of democracy and does not overtly crush it's people), a powerless individual might answer incorrectly, believing the lie.

It certainly is a possibility. If American Liberty could fall so easily to this bunch of Right-Wing lunatics, then so could Israeli Liberty.

If that is the case, then it doesn't matter what the average Israeli thinks, any more than it matters what the average Amerikan Subject thinks.

Let me repeat again that I do not know the answer, but it is something I have been thinking about lately.
