BIG ENERGY AND FASCISM
THE LONG EMERGENCY
IS
HAPPENING NOW!
Read this article by Michael Klare it will prepare you for the future. It is easily understood and written for anybody capable of critical thought. Take my word on this, we have less than ten years to get our homes, neighborhoods and villages prepared for energy independence. We must not be fooled again by our corrupt leaders who disguise their motivations to send off our children to foreign wars. Better to be independent than a slave to these monsters. - MC
From the introduction:
This January, Tomdispatch has been focusing on the Pentagon, the imperial path, and militarization. Last week, Nick Turse explored the way Pentagon strategists, having taken possession of our future, are writing their own dystopian science fiction scenarios about how to fight in Baghdad 2025 and other urban megaslums of the planet (as American troops may soon be doing in Baghdad's huge Shiite slum of Sadr City). Then, Frida Berrigan considered the massively profitable business operation the Pentagon was running off fictional futures and the all-too-real weapons systems that will result from it.
Today, Michael Klare, an expert on resource wars and the author of the indispensable Blood and Oil: The Dangers and Consequences of America's Growing Dependence on Imported Petroleum, offers a startling vision of the grim energy future that the Pentagon is actually helping to create -- as well as the ruthless scrambles for energy resources, the Great Power energy races, and the kind of Big Brotherhood that may lie in our near future. This is the first of a major two-part Tomdispatch series on the possible emergence of a new phenomenon in our world that Klare dubs "Energo-fascism." - Tom
