The Empire 378


Een lezer stuurde me dit bericht. Ik heb het boek zelf nog niet gelezen, maar de aanbeveling van Chomsky maakt het interessant genoeg om te vermelden.

'Noam Chomsky: “Breathless Just Reading It”

Washington, DC-
'A startling new book from a Washington insider is setting academic and diplomatic worlds afire. “Stunningly provocative” claims a former U.S. Ambassador to Qatar. “Explosively revelatory” says a former deputy director of the Cabinet Task Force on Terrorism. Not since the Watergate era has a book offered more insights per page than Guilt By Association, a blockbuster from a former Senate counsel and adviser to 35 governments worldwide. Former Congressman Paul Findley describes the book as “magnificent, timely and persuasive” in revealing how “stealth, deceit and cunning helped create today’s perilous situation in the Middle East.”Written with a precision certain to catch the attention of U.S. Attorneys nationwide, the author presents the facts that make treason transparent. A fan of neither political party, author Jeff Gates reveals how foreign agents came to dominate U.S. foreign policy and manipulate the electoral process through the multi-decade corruption of both parties.This chronicle of duplicity and trans-generational manipulation describes how dysfunctional personalities are identified and then positioned for elective office. Chronicling systemic corruption that predates the current presidential candidates by decades, Guilt By Association describes how organized crime expanded worldwide in plain view yet with legal impunity.A sophisticated analysis presented in layman’s language, Guilt details how the U.S. discredited itself in the eyes of a global public that remains astounded that Americans would tolerate such corruption to their own detriment. Stunned at the facts uncovered over 5-1/2 years of research, Gates proposes Congressional hearings to make this systemic criminality apparent to a long-deceived American public.A widely acclaimed author, attorney, educator and consultant to government, corporate and union leaders worldwide, Jeff Gates’ previous books include Democracy at Risk: Rescuing Main Street From Wall Street and The Ownership Solution: Toward a Shared Capitalism for the 21st Century. Endorsers for these books include CEOs, heads of state, legislators, educators, commentators and Nobel laureates.This book is available now.

De steunkleuren van het omslag zijn suggestief, en ik vermoed dat de schrijver niet Griekse agenten in Washington DC op het oog heeft...

Beetje lastig, maar op dit moment alleen in de US te bestellen...

Nu halverwege het boek en ben perplex..de "landslide" van 4 november is slechts consolidatie...we gaan heimwee krijgen naar de neocons...no shit..

dat laatste had ik al voorafgaand aan zijn verkiezing begrepen, want niemand kan kandidaat worden gesteld zonder de steun van de machtige elite. dat kon nooit in de geschiedenis, dus waarom zou dat nu anders zijn?
