I wonder if Walter Benjamin had the Futurist Manifesto in mind when he
wrote:
"There is no document of civilisation which is not at the same time a
document of barbarism" (Walter Benjamin, 1940).
Perhaps he was anticipating "The New World Order"
Most chilling and saddening was your quote:
> "In an act with extraordinary historical resonance, United Nations officials
covered up a tapestry reproduction of Pablo Picasso's anti-war mural
"Guernica" during US Secretary of State Colin Powell's February 5
presentation of the American case for war against Iraq."
