the Allies won, but humanity lost out to total war and its pushbutton mechanisms of moral abscondment; the CIA gave skullduggery a place to practice and a sense of mission and purpose, warping democracy by purging the "New Deal socialists" to deform the political spectrum of available choices and acceptable discourses, controlling the discourse on the Second and Third Worlds
a lot of the Cold War was quite deliberate--many 1947-58 talking points are not only from 30s union-busting and New Deal-hating, but also from Coughlin's Jew-baiting and luminaries to the left of Strom Thurmond like Sen. Bilbo, who argued that we were fighting on the wrong side of WWII: the Red Scare was as much about integration as it was about the CPUSA and its turbulent 40s slap-fights

once the danger has passed is when you have to watch out: the state-within-a-state redoubled once the explosions STOPPED; the further we get from 9-11 the tighter the spying gets and the more fevered the Islamophobia
analysts say it was the non-Ground Zero non-mosque that caused this current wave, not any actual bombings: the Euston Manifesto talking points were limited to online hatemongers divorced from their 19th-c. roots and Beckites: their talking points have been mainstreamed
