Halliburton is a corrupt giant that acts like an attached adjunct of the Bush Administration. We’ve apparently reached a corporatist form of regime whereby a cluster of big corporate cronies enrich themselves as close partners of a government in the pursuit of a long term political agenda. They become a politically interested integral part of the regime rather than an outsider who is soley concerned with money. Fascist regimes often operate this way. Krupp and IG Farben seemed to operate within the Third Reich in this manner coming to symbolize the Reich itself and its goals and ideology rather than just functioning as disinterested outside businessmen interested only in short term bottom line. This goes well beyond the old military-industrial complex. It is quite unprecedented and signals a very frightening turn in our political culture. We have now entered the realm of fascist corporatism.

The Halliburton/ White House relationship is well known, but this more detailed information is welcomed. Apparently though, the White House-Halliburton-Congress orgy, paid for by the tax payers will not end until Republican control of Congress is over. It can’t happen too soon for me.

There was also a marked lack of visual accompaniment, or willingness to use the video medium to its full potential, in many of the performances, which made for a much less dynamic presentation on the whole than we had been used to experiencing nightly during the festival. It was this lack of sensual variety from performer to performer and from track to track that left truly left me wanting more, wishing that the festival hadn’t ended on this particular note. Much more suited for the festival’s last evening, a friend remarked to me as we removed our (absolutely essential) earplugs, would have been Tasman Richardson or Jubal Brown, artists who use both audio and visual mediums to their full advantage, and could have much better showcased the vastly orignal and innovate work being created by Canadian artists.

Awesome article. Thank you for the sensible critique. Me and my neighbor were just preparing to do some research about this. We got a grab a book from our local library but I think I learned more from this post. I am very glad to see such great information being shared freely out there. heat transfer fluids
