Johan Galtung on "The Fall of the US Empire"


Good points made on how in the long term it paid huge dividends for the British and Soviet Union to relinquish their empires. Not that you'll see that sort of discussion in American media other than the admirable Democracy Now.

The Experiment


Most of what the interviewee "Charles" has to say tallies with other sources I've reviewed, but like every quasi poacher turned gamekeeper interview I've seen from CIA drug runners to super soldiers or masonic ritualists their agenda is questionable, gritted with bias and spiked with disinformation . That doesn't mean it's not worth watching and Bill the interviewer does an admirable job of interviewing a psychopath who in some quarters would be labelled a constructive sociopath. Clueless losers not withstanding.

Secrets


Oddly enough after my MESSENGER and Mercury Rising posts I discovered that NASA commissioned astronaut Stuart Atkinson to write a poem about Mercury. It's on the NASA MESSENGER website and to say the least is intriguing.
