Dammit! I'm impatient to finish "Economic Hit Man" so I can start...

..."The Last True Story I'll Ever Tell" as seen on the DU front page.

"EHM" is a chilling, infuriating book which really 'connects the dots' to use an already overused term. The US government making huge loans to developing countries to buy support and enrich US construction and development firms - knowing the countries will NEVER be able to repay them and will improverish their citizens trying to do so.

The United States as Mafia goombah loanshark, with a revolving door between the highest levels of industry and government - Tom Paine would be so proud. :cry:

1. And with all the books that make the TV show rounds....

these are 2 you (or anyone else) will ever hear about.

They're all too busy selling Santorum and others.

2. This is what GLOBALISM is all about...

Allowing western nations to further pillage non-industrialized nations.

5. I'm Going to Tell You a Secret

You can start one book before finishing another! I do it all the time.;-) Actually, I usually am reading three or four books at a time. I even keep a book in the car in case I get caught in a traffic jam.

6. Oh I've got 3 books going now...but I can only borrow 1 at a time

..from the bookstore where I work. I've got 'EHM' now and just happened across 'The Last True Story' over the weekend. :)
