Summary: Follow the Trail
Comment: This is something that will not be shown on prime time television. It will not win the support of the corporate controllers who buy time and form conglomerates so that courageous stories like this will not be told, but in today's topsy turvy world, where control is amassed by every smaller numbers of greedy multinationals, this is a story that needs to be revealed in every shocking detail.
The author takes this account of appalling corporate greed to the level where it must go if the true story is to be revealed, to the linkage between large corporations and the huge international drug network. This is in turn linked to the oil network, and it in turn is attached to the warmaking machine with the chilling potential to amass fortunes by sending youngsters choked off from good jobs by greedy corporate globalism to do their fighting. Chicken hawks like Bush, Cheney, Wolfowitz and Perle cheer from the sidelines as these youngsters are sacrificed on an altar of corporate greed.
The CIA is not spared by this courageous author. In many instances it has been used to soften up economies before replacing leaders who demand a fair share of the pie for the people of their respective nations. In other times the influence is more direct, as in overthrowing democratically elected governments in Guatemala, Iran and Chile. Meanwhile the propaganda machine spiels off the message that people hate America because it is such a rich nation with prosperous and happy people. Try telling that to those who have been reduced to fragmentary existences through the oppressive yoke of globalization. Look into what happened in Russia after the old Communist bosses were overthrown.
The Enron picture is tied ever so closely to the Bush regime. While Cheney warned us that California was being torn asunder due to a lack of sufficient energy resources, the truth finally came out in a stinging government report revealing what informed sources already knew, that a savage ripoff led by the Enron brigade had fleeced California's taxpayers. Why not let these evil wrongdoers do the hard time in federal prisons rather than non-violent drug offenders who need treatment rather than prison incarceration?
These are just some of the questions arising from a detailed reading of this brilliant book. We need more courageous authors like this who are not afraid to take on the establishment. This kind of courage is what is needed to turn things around amid suffocating greed at the corporate international level. Perhaps enough courageous voices can ultimately end the tragic concept, which former President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned emphatically against, of preventive war.
