Scott Sullivan : President Bush as Chairman Mao

K.S. Karol was the name of a Hungarian anti-communst activist who escaped
in 1956 revolt and went on to author several best-selling books on the
contemporary communist parties. One of Karol's most popular best sellers was
on the Chinese Poletarian Cultural Revolution. By the early 1960's Mao was
trapped alone in his palace and had no true authority left withi the
government or the communist party, whih was now in the hands of GEN Lin
Piao, who was actively coup ploting with the Soviets, who wanted to install
Lin Piao as their man in place of Mao.

A K.S. Karol said of his book in the introduction, the book is only nominlly
about China and Mao. In truth, the book was about any country could collapse
through unprincipled intrigue, while traditional definitions of right and
left would be reversed, and then reversed again throgh poplular struggle.
One would divide into two in politics (right verses left) and the entire
country would be transformed and the poltical partiees realigned by the two
line political struggle between Chairman Mao's progressive line and the
black reactionary line.

As K.S Karol wrote in the intoduction to his second book on China's cultural
revolution; "This story is not mainly about China or about athe
ultra-radicali youth who found boredome and sought relief in revolutionary
aciitvities that galvanizied the Chinese nation. No this book is about your
country, Sweden, or France 1968 where tradiional politics have
disintegrated."

No, I would say this story today is about President Bush as Chairman Mao,
who was obsessed with his coming fight with the Soviets (Iran for President
Bush) and distrustful of the party elite, the urban elites and the central
government bureaucracies, all of whom Mao regarded as pro-soviet and not to
be trusted. Mao's strategy was to use the Cultural Revoluton as a tool to
break up the anti-Mao elites. Pro-Mao provoctions were routinely staged
first in the army, second in the universities, and only third in the
factoies and workplaces. Many workplace potests were quickly called of due
to disruption of production.

Mao in the 1960's is President Bush today. Obsessed by his upcoming stuggle
with terrorism and Iran, he has been sidelined by the party elite (James
Baker and allies), and isolated from real power even within the central
govrnment. In an alarming fashion and in a direct threat to national
security, an unprincipled double dealer(Robert Gates, the USA's Lin Piao)
has been appointed to the USA's highest defense post, someone who
immdiately became iinvolved in policy reorganizations for Iran's benefit.

Mao's solution to this isolation and betrayal was to launch the Cultural
revoluion as a means of shatttering the communst party apparatus, which was
mainly in pro-Soviet hands. Today the Democratic and Republian parties are
mainly in pro-Iranian hands. It looks as though to save his presidency and
the country from Iran, President Bush must take radiical and immediate
action of his own.

You see, President Bush is today's Chairman Mao, who will not go down before
Iran without a fight. Like Mao, President Bush will begin and win this
fight by attacking the treason and opportunism found within his own party.
In other words, President Bush will launch a two-line struggle within the
Republican Party to dscover which forces are still loyal to him and which
are loyal to Baker,Gates, and Iran. All i have to say is "bring it on, the
sooner the better."
