"It is obvious that there exists a Western delirium that seems to be
the flip side of a great rationality and that there is a Western bias
that seems to be the flip side of a great efficiency. Obvious as long
as one takes into account that the West is at war. And that it is
waging its war through peaceful means which are characteristic of
a cultural war: 'If you want war, pretend you are making peace.' The
West's principal weapon is its monopoly on information (and
disinformation) along with the financial establishment of
multinational corporations. It is winning the war of words and
images...The best source of propaganda for the West was the Pol
Pot regime. We needed that ogre, that foil" by Regis Debray.
How many millions did that foil cost Cambodia?
