Who was Ronald Reagan?

Former President Ronald Reagan died recently at the age of 93 on June 5th, 2004.  However, this article is not an obituary about a bad man who seemed to believe that not getting caught in a lie was the same as telling the truth; who provided a smokescreen to veil the activities of billionaire corporatists; and who eventually became President of the United States.  More information must be declassified before an obituary can exist in accurate form.  Rather, it is an historical inquiry of the late Ronald Reagan’s state terrorist ties to former CIA Director George Bush, to former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, and to information warfare (IW) on behalf of American-powered British Empire that is today successfully waging corporatism and state terrorism around the globe in places such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Arabia, Liberia, Haiti, Bolivia and Guatemala.  Even the most innocent of children – infants and babies, have come into the crosshairs of these tax-funded state terrorists. Americans have been living an Orwellian nightmare since World War II, when British elite successfully enticed America’s wealthy corporatists and the late President Franklin Delano Roosevelt to recklessly abandon neutrality and accompany them in waging war and empire. With the transformation of British mercantilism during World War II through partnership with the United States, America was pacified by the British.  Pacification established a renewed yet fresh relationship between the formerly rebellious colonial states and their former master.  The pacification of America created opportunities for Anglo-American elite to build a global empire.


It is not an exaggeration to say that representative government in Britain and America, also known as “rule by the people”, is today largely a charade and a front for corporatists and their state terrorism; only local governments that are subservient to the larger billionaire-controlled governments are permitted to practice democracy.  National politicians do the bidding of their billionaire financiers while providing rhetorical cover through the ruse of democracy. Ronald Reagan was probably the twentieth century’s greatest propagandist for neo-mercantilism. When one reflects on the effectiveness of Ronald Reagan’s free market rhetorical cover at masquerading the machinations of corporatists and their resulting state terrorism, it seems a word pusher can not fade away without leaving behind a resilient myth – the American myth of liberty, free enterprise, and limited government that has long been cherished by ordinary men and women.  The confusion inherent in Reagan’s rhetorical contradiction to the reality of his times was not easily discernable for many from the start. During his early phase, Reagan began as a propagandist with the War Department and later a spy with important alliances made with various
right-wingers and covert agents who dominated the Republican Party and policed the Democratic Party during the Cold War years.


The second phase began with Reagan’s ascent into politics and culminated with his legacy that was carried through by George Bush, followed by Bush’s CIA drug money launderer Bill Clinton, and currently Bush’s son George Bush.  During those years, Reagan remained essentially a propagandist with only a limited direct influence over his eventual areas of responsibility - the Executive Department of the United States and Commander-in-Chief of the militaries, which quickly became apparent after he was shot in 1980 nearly culminating in a tragic ending to a political career built upon informing on his colleagues.


As Reagan’s Vice-President, former CIA Director George Bush had temporarily taken over his reins while his boss slowly recovered from gunshot woulds compliments of Neil Bush's teen-aged pal.  Eventually Reagan regained his health and returned to his post, but his own actions were seriously limited to not getting shot again by friends of his Vice-President's son; the spreading of free market rhetoric and gospel of liberty; the dissemination of a smokescreen to deflect attention from Bush and his cronies, the gross expansion of government, taxes, American-powered British Empire, and increasing deficits.


Reagan was an eloquent speaker who communicated the ideals of free enterprise with a passion, whose free market rhetoric sweet-talked many listeners into ignoring his anti-market actions, and caused more to dismiss the well-founded complaints of his critics.  During the 1980s, Reagan’s actions drew a national body of critics while his rhetoric attracted many defenders as numerous, dynamic, and intense as his balderdash was titanic. Yet Reagan’s stewardship helped realize American-powered British Empire and, in doing so, expanded and enlarged government to unprecedented levels while duping an entire generation.  Reagan’s rhetoric allowed economic fascists to ride roughshod over free enterprise and expand elitism in its corporatist form.
