Michel Chossudovsky is one of the clearest thinking, most conscientious academics along with David Ray Griffin and Webster Tarpley.

The Roman Empire was a form of globalization and that didn't end well either. Is that barbarian hoards I hear coming over the horizon?

Come on this is Edward Griffin.

Anyway I do wish to see both US and China (and Russia) disintegrated into dozens of smaller nations for the peace of mankind, which is a possibility. Also EU must be cancelled, and so must euro. The world will be a much better place.

troy..........

Love the anagram!...... Really liked your comment the other night about me being an optimist. You are actually dead right. comes from my humour.
Whichever way this all works out I will be happy. Punishment does not distinguish and in both outcomes it will be all. I have accepted the unavoidable and will try and save that which is worthwhile. For example:- Trees.

ah ha plato, trees can be both beautiful and useful, more so than television sets. However, simply by existing they to invite exploitation as well as appreciation. Particularly so when mankind allows its social, political and economic systems to be dominated by those who live by psychopathic traits. Under their rule, nothing is sacred.

troy......

Took you long enough to reply but I will concede, your comment required it. I think the 'light' from JU is becoming infectious...........and on a serious note;the few worthwhile are definitely worth the effort.
Going to watch this video later - short of time at the mo'
