DR. CHALMERS JOHNSON, UNPACKS THE RAND CORPORATION!
ONE NEOCON NUTCASE AT A TIME.
Read the latest from Dr. Johnson, a book review of a book about the Rand Corporation. Got it? Well here's a video above for those too busy to stop and smell the coffee this morning. You know who you are, too lazy and stupid to think for yourselves - way, way out here in Jesus country. Take the time, smell the roses and have a cup of coffee, watch the video.
Did you ask? Well, here's my favorite quote from this article:
"Albert Wohlstetter was born and raised in Manhattan and studied mathematics at the City College of New York and Columbia University. Like many others of that generation, he was very much on the left and, according to research by Abella, was briefly a member of a communist splinter group, the League for a Revolutionary Workers Party. He avoided being ruined in later years by Senator Joseph McCarthy and J. Edgar Hoover's FBI because, as Daniel Ellsberg told Abella, the evidence had disappeared. In 1934, the leader of the group was moving the Party's records to new offices and had rented a horse-drawn cart to do so. At a Manhattan intersection, the horse died, and the leader promptly fled the scene, leaving all the records to be picked up and disposed of by the New York City sanitation department. .."
Additional and pertinent to Dr. Johnson's latest!
A "Quote of the Week" from the Peak Oil Study newsletter:
"Our candid advice to the oil majors is that they should not waste their time repairing any lines as we will continue to sabotage them. We have time on our side and there is so much to be destroyed." - Nigerian militant spokesman Jomo Gbomo
And before I forget it, another short primer (50min.) video, below, for the dysfunctionally retired as still more homework for this coming weekend. Just in case you missed it a couple years ago. And in Kansas, you did.
You'll learn some surprising facts about the history of the "Military Petroleum Complex" as well as a refresher on "blowback" and 9/11.
Oh yes, and maybe memory loss is setting in, but before I forget, back to reading Teaching Imperialism 101 at Tom's Dispatch!
Now do your homework, fellow readers - send the link along to those relatives and friends who "just don't get it" and to those you still love and care about. I must take a break and get involved in some serious garden and poultry issues here at our tiny farm. Until Saturday late night at Blue Barn Radio, ciao, and have a great May Day, the old forgotten International Workers' Day! Remember?
