An excerpt from the explanatory essay by Professor Anthony J. Hall on the first three classes in the fall 2008 offering of Globalization
since 1492
As I see it, the White House's staging of the event on board the USS Abraham Lincoln in 2003 was meant to symbolize the idea that President George W. Bush had freed the Iraqis from the tyranny of the ousted Iraqi leader, Saddam Hussein, in much the same way that Abraham Lincoln had freed the slaves in the southern US with the Emancipation Proclamation of 1862. The reference in Bush's speech to government of, by and for the Iraqi people
referred back to Lincoln's famous Gettysburg Address in 1863. Throughout the US Civil War 600,000 people lost their lives in a conflict whose outcome was finally to eliminate the most overt form of slavery in the country of our neighbours to the south.
The comparison I illustrated with google videos between the USS Abraham Lincoln event and the Nazi propaganda film, Triumph of the Will, helped me to introduce the importance of Henry Ford as one of Adolf Hitler's early backers and heroes. It helped me to introduce the role of US-based cartels like Ford, GM, IBM, General Electric and the Rockefeller/Morgan financial/oil interests in building up the war machine of Nazi Germany. This analysis led me to the thesis that the militarized economy of the United States draws on the industrial, economic and political experimentation that took place on both sides of the Second World War.
