"In his new book, CIA analyst, distinguished scholar, and best-selling author Chalmers Johnson argues that US military and economic overreach may actually lead to the nation’s collapse as a constitutional republic. It’s the last volume in his Blowback trilogy, following the best-selling 'Blowback' and 'The Sorrows of Empire.' In those two, Johnson argued American clandestine and military activity has led to un-intended, but direct disaster here in the United States.

Chalmers Johnson is a retired professor of international relations at the University of California, San Diego. He is also President of the Japan Policy Research Institute. Johnson has written for several publications including Los Angeles Times, the London Review of Books, Harper’s Magazine, and The Nation. In 2005, he was featured prominently in the award-winning documentary film, 'Why We Fight.'"

  • it's so disappointing how people are beginning to lose their democratic points of views, and crumble under the pressure of this recession.
    i don't put it past them, i mean, you need to do what you can to sustain life for yourself and family.
    but we shouldn't have to be altering, lowering our moral and civil standards!
    we COULD be many, against few. but it seems the people of this country will not come together for a positive change until it is too late..

  • Duh. People act out of need and not planning. That is totally old news. I just hope it isn't a violent revolution so we can return to normal in time for me to raise my own children.

  • It is very alarming that the exposure to and the concern for the truth about this disasterous situation is not more prevalent in the day-to-day working of our democratic system...that's what happens when psychopaths control the media...

    We are soooo in need of MAJOR CHANGE..!!!!

  • PlatoTacius, you're welcome. :-) I'm glad that you found this information useful. I couldn't agree with you more that there is power in numbers and that we must take action.

  • Interesting and articulate man. I agree but am not surprised why it is not in the mainstream news as they are the same people who are the war profiteers. It's funny to think of these greedy rich people sitting on top of their pile of money and nowhere to spend it once everything collapses.
