Trade expert Juhasz explores the Bush Administration's plan to dominate the world through a corporate globalization agenda, first in Iraq, then the proposed U.S.-Middle East Free Trade Area, and ultimately as a cornerstone to the global Bush Doctrine. Bush's "free trade" economic model argues that, by removing restrictions on multinational corporations, these companies will become engines of economic growth around the world--but this will in fact bring vast wealth of a small number of global elites while entire populations suffer dislocation, poverty and violence, creating a perfect environment for breeding terrorists. The instruments for this takeover include such corporations as Bechtel, Lockheed Martin, ChevronTexaco, and Halliburton. Juhasz addresses U.S. economic relations over the past 25 years, the key role of U.S. corporations, and the larger Bush economic agenda and its potential impact. It concludes with specific alternatives to guide the U.S. on a more peaceful and sustainable course.--From publisher description.… (meer)

Quotation from page 49/50: The three documents discussed here reveal the Bush Agenda as the cul¬mination of a radical conservative agenda for a Pax Americana, which its proponents have been waiting to implement, some for well over a decade and others for more than thirty years. If Empires have one thing in common, it is their inevitable collapse. With the Pax Romana as a model, we in America can expect an increasingly undemocratic, [50] brutal, and self-destructive government to take hold of our nation prior to its fall. George W. Bush has made a new mark on the Pax Americana legacy by adding corporate globalization policy to its arse¬nal—arguing that "free trade" will bring increased "freedom." Over the past fifty years, the record of such policies has in fact been the oppo¬site: increased inequality, economic instability, and even violence.

page 70: On February 18, 2004, the people of Zambia went on nationwide strike. Ninety percent of all of the people who work for the govern¬ment left their posts, took to the streets, and demanded reform. Their immediate focus was opposition to a wage freeze and simultaneous in¬crease in their taxes. The ultimate focus, however, was on the IMF and the World Bank and what the workers were calling the "recolonization of Zambia." Joyce Nonde, president of the Federation of Free Trade Unions of Zambia, expressed widespread sentiment when she said, "We feel that Government, through privatization of national assets, has surrendered our country into foreign hands on a silver plate and, as a union, we are prepared to stop this unfair economic arrange¬ment. ... [Privatization] is a tool being used by the IMF to recolonize [71] us. It is something being forced down our throats and therefore it is highly undemocratic."

Excellent overview of the Bush dynasty and the neocon cabal. Well researched and presented. If you think Bush is just an idiotic fluke, think again. World domination has been in the works for a long time by these scary people. ( )
