"... Might it not be better to see and declare that we are living through the most tyrannical - because the most persuasive - chaos that has ever existed? It's not easy to grasp the nature of the tyranny, for its power structure (ranging from the 200 largest multinational corporations to the Pentagon) is interlocking yet diffuse, dictorial yet anonymous, ubiquitous yet placeless. It tyrannizes from offshore, not only in terms of Fiscal Law but in terms of any political control beyond its own. Its aim is to delocalize the entire world. Its ideological strategy, beside which Bin Laden's is a fairy tale, is to undertermine the existent so that everything collapses into its special version of the virtual, from the realm of which - and this is the tyranny's credo - there will be a never-ending source of profit. It sounds stupid. Tyrannies are stupid. This one is destroying at every level the life of the planet on which it operates on. ..."
