ere in one article are what I consider to be the dispositive trends shaping America. The only way this is going to change is if we can get people to vote, and to vote based on facts not fear — which of course is why the Right is hysterical about Ebola.

5.0 out of 5 starsSIX STAR SPECTACULAR — COULD BE A CATALYST FOR REVOLUTION USA, October 27, 2014
This work is not being properly marketed in the USA. Harvard, the US publisher, is not doing all that it should which I find especially distressing because this could well be the single most important book any US citizen could read going into the farce of an election in 2014 and the travesty of 2016, when it appears that Jeb Bush will face off against Hillary Clinton, each so ably representing their side of the two-party tyranny that has sold out to Wall Street, barred the other parties (Constitution, Green, Libertarian, Natural Law, Reform, Socialist — and the Independents) from any possible access to political office, and sent two generations to elective wars mounted on the basis of greed and 935 lies.
Put as strongly as I can put it, this book could be a catalyst for revolution in the USA, and for that reason alone, I place it in my top ten percent, beyond five stars, this is a six star book.

Barker uncovers how and why a diverse and unlikely group of ordinary men and women from every corner of England – from the humblest serf forced to provide slave-labour for his master in the fields, to the prosperous country goodwife brewing, cooking and spinning her distaff, and the ambitious burgess expanding his business and his mental horizons – united in armed rebellion against Church and State to demand a radical political agenda. Had it been implemented, this agenda would have transformed English society and anticipated the French Revolution by four hundred years.
Since 1990, when I first itemized six things that US intelligence needed to do in order to better serve the USA, I have been persistently troubled by the lack of leadership and the lack of integrity in this profession that I consider so fundamental to creating a prosperous country at peace with itself as well as the rest of the world.
Today, 24 years later and no less than $1.2 trillion dollars down the drain, most of it spent on technical collection (mass surveillance) that is not actually processed, not a single one of these six fundamentals has been addressed with integrity.
āThe only way the economy can grow is through internal investment and foreign investment,ā he explained. āThere isnāt much internal investment because people are poor, so as minister, I worked hard to restore investor confidence in this country because itās really our only hope.ā With misinformation feeding a blaze of paranoia across the United States about this āAfricanā disease, that one hope is threatened.
Phi Beta Iota is under a new management team and going to another level, at the same time that Earth Intelligence Network is revitalizing and I will be spendingĀ time with a team recreating the very popular weekly global threat, policy, and demographic report. A sample from the past is below.
