Dear friends in GHA.   For those who are informed about the global reach and
designs of the superpower, the single mention of the Pentagon is very
appropriate.  One cannot pursue, study, or establish peace if one is not
clear about the facts.  And the fact is that the single greatest destroyer
of peace in the world today is the U.S. and the Pentagon.  This is the view
of all the best scholars who are not propaganda stooges for the empire.  I
highly recommend all of the following documented and informed studies if we
are to get clear about why the Pentagon should be mentioned in any informed
peace document:

 

     Noam Chomsky, Hegemony or Survival: America's Quest for Global
Dominance.

      F. William Engdahl, Full Spectrum Dominance: Totalitarian Democracy in
the New World Order.

      Pepe Escobar, Globalistan: How the Globalized World is Dissolving into
Liquid War.

      Greg Grandin, Empire's Workshop: Latin American, the United States,
and the Rise of the New Imperialism.

      Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri,  Empire.

      Michael Parenti, The Face of Imperialism.

      James Petras and Henry Veltmeyer, Empire with Imperialism: The
Globalizing Dynamics of Neo-liberal Capitalism.

      John Perkins, The Secret History of the American Empire.

      Nick Turse, The Changing Face of Empire: Special Ops, Drones, Spies,
Proxy Fighters, Secret Bases, and Cyberwarfare.

 

IF anyone finishes these books and still thinks that the U.S. drive to
global empire is not the central problem that must be mentioned in all
discussions about the way to peace, there are many more such books, by top
scholars, that I can also recommend.

 

In peace and hope,

 

Glen Martin

-------- Original Message --------I agree to the contents of this work
except one thing that I would suggest to alter.  The Pentagon is not the
only place in which a lot of money and thought are invested to the
developing of war theories and sophisticated arsenals.  There are a lot of
places like this in other countries, the only difference is that the
Pentagon is more open to public knowledge and sometimes even free press
pressures that influence it. To mention only the American Pentagon would be
prejudiced and form a kind of anti American propaganda. I would suggest the
title - major institutes  etc.. and to look at other places too. The
mentioning only of the Pentagon is wrong in my opinion. If you continue like
this it would seem as an anti American book. 

2, I hope that in the chapters on social economic problems, you really get
into the obstacles to peace and also thoughts how to deal with them, or the
major 
ideas how to approach such problems. Without paying attention to such
obstacles, and to the augmenting terror of poor countries around the world -
which I think you do mention- it would be difficult to propagate ideas of
peace.  If those two will be  thought about  I'm completely for this book,
and its a joy such a work would be published and distributed
