I heard the dollar is at it's lowest level ever against the more formidable Euro. And that oil is now at $104 a barrel. I guess it's better to have a million Euros than a million American dollars.

A brilliant man, thank you for posting this. Chalmers Johnson's "Sorrows of Empire" is one of the most fascinating non-fiction books I have ever read.

Where would you begin to criticize him? I would like to know.

I like what this man is saying. Funny that he mentions Vancouver. I was thinking of Vancouver or Basel, Switzerland as places I might end up 10 years from now.

Johnson is doing anything but "oversimplifying". The problem with the American people (quite possibly as a result of their "education system") is that we have not learned to be discerning. We have not learned to be critical thinkers as a population. This is why our so-called democracy is anything but a democracy. I'm all for criticizing Johnson..but you must have a basis for your argument; I see none~ we are sheep. we trust the government. the government lies...big time lies...Wake up!

Quote >Rickdeckard2020 :>starwars: not to mention missile defense is useless against pre-smuggled nukes in radiation proof containers Subject of the spy-thriller "The Forth Protocol". Was there such a treaty? It seems remarkably easy to violate as even neutron-emissions are readily supressed.Further, it seems likely that all nuclear-capable nations have already placed nukes near adversarial targets.

This is the first of hist bookls that I read and it was quite an eye-opener about the U.S. goverment.Militarism as taken over over our government and will evetually lead to its own demise, those of you who havent read the book should go to your local bookstore and buy it along with his other two books.
