John Perkins two recent books are sobering in terms of exposing the strategies that have constructed the Anglo-American Empire.

There are dozens, hundreds, thousands of people who are saying the same thing as Perkins. Unfortunately none of it can or will make the slighest bit of difference to the USA behemoth.It is has a totally irrational momentum to it.

It has an almost unstoppable historical momentum behind it---a momentum of three thousand years---a momentum based on the drive to total power and control which is at the root of the entire western "cultural" project. The all destroying/devouring western meme. The war of all against All and everything.

The meme theme is discussed in The Lucifer Principle by Howard Bloom.

Lewis Mumford (The Pentagon of Power 1972) described the origins and historical development of the Invisible Megamachine. He also warned us about where the Megamachine was heading. ALL of the negative developments that he warned us about have become shockingly true.

Huxley's Brave New World and Orwell's 1984 all rolled into one.

I much prefer the analysis of the USA psycho-pathology described in these two references.

Being the kind of bloke he is, John won't mind if you steal a copy of his audio book (by bittorrent) here:

- it's a good listen.

Nothing had changed when John Howard went for a ride on Airforce 1 with Mr Bush. He knew which side his bread was buttered on when it came to the privatisation of Iraq. There were plenty of historical precedents where recalcitrant heads of government were concerned.

The Man of Steel was ultimately softened in the fires of 9-11. You don't mess with Bush/Cheney if you know what's good for you.
