It never happened. Noting ever happened. Even while it was happening it wasnt happening. It didnt matter. It was of no interest. The crimes of the United States have been systematic, constant, vicious, remorseless, but very few people have actually talked about them. You have to hand it to America. It has exercised a quite clinical manipulation of power worldwide while masquerading as a force for universal good. Its a brilliant, even witty, highly successful act of hypnosis.

~ Harold Pinter Nobel Lecture (2005)

Everything that is written about human rights in your world, and in the world of your allies who share in plundering the world, is an enormous lie. Billions of human beings live in infrahuman conditions starving, without enough food, medicine, clothes, shoes or shelter and without even a minimum amount of knowledge or enough information to understand their tragedy and that of the world in which they live.

~ Fidel Castros speech regarding Bushs War on Terrorism

Not long ago I met count Dracula in Buenos Aires. He was looking for an Argentinean psychoanalyst Dracula was told by someone that he can still be cured by an Argentinean psychoanalyst. I found count Dracula in a terrible state; really depressed, thin, terrible He was suffering from a tremendous complex of inferiority, seeing how the great corporations of the modern world are behaving.

~ Eduardo Galeano

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

COMPLIMENTS

T he Empire lies. It lies about the present, about the past, even about the future. It lies day and night, relentlessly.

Its founding dogmas are based on deception, its history on false pathos and insincere heroism.

Europe is where it is now, still filthy rich (although always complaining), because of those hundreds of millions of people all over the world who were robbed and murdered, those who become victims of the very madness of colonialism, of the crusades and the slave trade. Cathedrals and palaces, museums and theatres, train stations all had been constructed on horrid foundations of bones and blood, and amalgamated by tears. There were so many centuries of plunder that the acts of looting the world for the sole benefit of the few, turned into inseparable part of the Western existence and culture, something that gets almost never addressed, let alone criticized.
