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.
