"[Ronald] Reagan ... was
most definitely a global empire builder, a servant of the corporatocracy.
At the time of his election, I found it fitting that he was a
Hollywood actor, a man who had followed orders passed down from
moguls, who knew how to take direction. That would be his signature.
He would cater to the men who shuttled back and forth from corporate
CEO offices to bank boards and into the halls of government. He
would serve the men who appeared to serve him but who in fact
ran the government - men like Vice President George H. W. Bush,
Secretary of State George Shultz, Secretary of Defense Caspar
Weinberger, Richard Cheney, Richard Helms, and Robert McNamara.
He would advocate what those men wanted: an America that controlled
the world and all its resources, a world that answered to the
commands of that America, a U.S. military that would enforce the
rules as they were written by America, and an international trade
and banking system that supported America as CEO of the global
empire."
