You left out when there was almost real peace in Israel and Palestine. I recall an NPR segment about Israeli shoppers bargain hunting in Jerico. This was the era when "win-win" became a thing,

For thought: This is what I said when I posted this video on Facebook.

"This is a must listen! In its entirety but especially after one hour ten minutes. Listen to Michael Hudson and Richard Wolff ESPECIALLY HUDSON. There is no one like Michael Hudson when it comes to the ability to examine the world and speak about it extemporaneously He is a brilliant man Please take the time and you will understand what has happened. How we got to today, the mess were in and why? And why Trump will be a disaster as he extends tariffs.

I studied political economy, listening to Michael Hudson I realize I got it right when I first read Mill and Smith and Riccardo and then Marx on my own. in 1970 and 71 when I took graduate level courses on economic history. I knew back then that there was little difference between these economists, they were building on each other. There is no one like Michael Hudson when it comes to the ability to examine the world and speak about it extemporaneously He is a brilliant man.". https://youtu.be/r6Ovguv1BSA?si=RQ-rSzhjIIWWHCUu

Matthew, I wonder if you place any relevance in the so-called "Firing" of William Sessions, FBI Director back in 1993? And yes that would be current Tx Rep Pete Sessions dad. You see a full twelve years before Barry Obama and Richard Luger went to the Ukraine to solidify the Big Pharma investments William Sessions was fired as Director of the FBI and he then became to sole defense lawyer for Simon Simone Mogilevich, also known as Semion Mogilevich, who was one of the most powerful Ukrainian-born Russian organized crime bosses at the time. Just wondering as I find the whole Big Pharma Investment SCAM to be originating here as the connections were made over time since 1993 when he was supposedly fired ?

Good piece Matt, we can't forget of course the nest of vipers that have inhabited the city of London (square mile) for eons causing mayhem and chaos! Psalm 37 and Psalm 2 needs to be read by all! Greetings from Ireland!

TLDR: the USA project (that was sold to the popular culture) of a democratic republic was good. But you got none. It is still a good ideal. If you have good ideals you can make progress, even with rot like revolving neocons and neoliberals in power. They cannot tell you what to think — without sinister sort of MKUltra torture — *if* you have a critical mind. Too many educated liberals and working class grunts in the USA do not have critical minds, so you cannot have a democracy... yet.

A small typo spotted: “How I learned love the New World Order” - should be "to love".

Very good piece for all those who want to understand how we got here. There is still time to give things a positive turn.

Stateside warmongers make a sick joke in using the good name of "The United States" as cover for their evil. 21st century warmongers around the world are craven perverts. There is no particle of honesty or honor in them. They delight in their perversions. They are evil on stilts.

"working class" is a Marxist view. Is not the 99% the "working class"? Way forward - the earth is the birthright of all people - tax shift from labor/capital to the earth's land and resources. Economics of Peace.

The US adopted a policy of total military dominance before even entering World War II. Nothing has changed since then.
