Popular Culture Conspiracy Theory and the Star Trek Text (Hardcover)

ID: uFafkWdvs1

The forward progress of society is not automatic and should not be taken for granted. The assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963 can be viewed as ending his effort to deploy American prestige and power to forward change worldwide. Today there are political forces seeking to stop progressive social political and economic change. Whatever the reasons such forces are conspiring to impose authoritarianism to suppress the public s desire for just democratic government. The brutality violence viciousness and racism (dystopia) of authoritarianism are becoming more and more the hallmark of world politics. Perhaps the most glaring aspect of this dystopia is the fact that the American state has been almost continuously at war for the past thirty years--including a sinister dastardly drone assassination program. One means to obscure the ongoing conspiracy to ultimately impose outright dictatorship on the American people and the rest of the world is to smear and malign critics of this conspiracy as guilty of conspiracy theory--advocating and embracing baseless fantasies.
