War was perhaps the most pointless war in the history of the United States.

Although it was not known at the time, the war was not truly fought for territory,
for markets, for principle, or even for honor. Rather, it began because William
Randolph Hearst, editor of the popular New York Journal sought sensational
material to print." (8) Certainly, Hearst and his propaganda rival at the New
York World, Joseph Pulitzer, are helping to poison the public mind against Spain
while selling a lot of papers in the process. But this idiotic and incomplete
analysis ignores the "big picture" of the geopolitical hand which is moving the
chess pieces. The point of the imperial game is to project U.S. imperial power
over the Asian Pacific. To that end, it is necessary to kick Spain out of The
Philippines and Guam so that U.S. naval bases can be established there instead.
It is a dirty game and, as we shall soon see, the cowboy-tuned-super-cop will
become a key player in the game.

The phony, absurd, and vile atrocity stories of the warmongering Yellow Press
created the momentum needed for the Spanish-America War.
