 A
fascinating state-of-the-world report from the man the New York Times
called "arguably the most important intellectual alive." Here
are a few excerpts:
- We
now have an international economy and we're moving toward an international
state -- "creating," to quote the business press, "a new
imperial age with a de facto world government."
- NAFTA
is a secret document whose decisions will override those of Congress,
states, localities. It's a real success in the long-term project of
depriving democratic structures of any substance.
- Biotechnology,
genetic engineering, designing animal species, etc. is potentially vastly
more important than electronics. In fact, compared to the potential of
biotechnology, electronics is sort of a frill.
- I
don't think Somalia should be classified as an intervention. It's more of a
public relations operation for the Pentagon.... They desperately need some
way to prevent the Pentagon budget from declining.
