From a friend of mine comes this link to an interview with an author of a new book. The book, entitled “Confessions of an Economic Hit Man” is about how the NSA and CIA used civilian commercial enterprises to sink third world countries into massive debt as a means to both drum up business for US companies and as a way to keep them under thumb. Before you sign this off as just another conspiracy theory, remember that even the paranoid can have people out to get them and some conspiracy theories actually do come true… Besides it would do a great job of explaining what the hell has really been going on in the world for the last 50 years. Sometimes newspapers and modern history are like physics experiments. They tell you what happened, but they don’t tell you WHY they happened… Maybe with the rise of the net we will finally find out WHY. Of course, even if we do find out WHY, most people will prefer the big lie of the governments anyway….
And to match my eclectic nature, thank you AZCentral for pointing out this interesting blog of one of the few female taxi cab drivers in New York City. Favorite quote so far on this blog from the JFK Airport Taxi stand rules, while waiting in line – “Do not prepare any types of food.”
I’m liking the taxi blog…
Me too… by the way, that story in the newspaper that pointed out her blog has also made national news… she is getting bombarded with interview requests…
