Book Description
By Alfred W. McCoy, author of The Politics of Heroin: CIA Complicity in the Global Drug Trade: "This definitive account of the Phoenix program, the US attempt to destroy the Viet Cong through torture and summary execution, remains sobering reading for all those trying to understand the Vietnam War and the moral ambiguities of America's Cold War victory. Though carefully documented, the book is written in an accessible style that makes it ideal for readers at all levels, from undergraduates to professional historians."

An acclaimed classic detailing the economic history of America in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and exposing the capitalist giants who changed the world
Frederick Lewis Allen’s insightful financial history of the United States—from the late 1800s through the stock market collapse of 1929—remains a seminal work on what brought on America’s worst economic disaster: the Great Depression. In the decades following the Civil War, America entered an era of unprecedented corporate expansion, with ultimate financial power in the hands of a few wealthy industrialists who exploited the capitalist system for everything it was worth. The Rockefellers, Fords, Morgans, and Vanderbilts were the “lords of creation” who, along with like-minded magnates, controlled the economic destiny of the country, unrestrained by regulations or moral imperatives. Through a combination of foresight, ingenuity, ruthlessness, and greed, America’s giants of industry remolded the US economy in their own preferred image. In so doing, they established their absolute power and authority, ensuring that they—and they alone—would control the means of production, transportation, energy, and commerce—thereby setting the stage for the most devastating global financial collapse in history.
As Gretchen Morgenson thoughtfully states in her introduction, “It is not immediately clear why the frequency and severity of financial scandals is increasing in the United States. What is clear is that we need to understand the origins of these disasters, as well as the policies and people that bring them on. . . . While distant actions may seem unrelated to current events, rereading about the past almost always provides surprising insights into the present.”
The Lords of Creation, first published in the midst of the Great Depression, when the financial catastrophe was still painfully fresh, is a fascinating story of bankers, railroad tycoons, steel magnates, speculators, scoundrels, and robber barons. It is a tale of innovation and shocking exploitation—and a sobering reminder that history can indeed repeat itself.

RT is one of the most successful KGB programs of all time.
RT isn't fooling Americans, especially since one of their anchors quit on air after refusing to parrot Russian propaganda. They can bring this idiot Brian Becker on to shout and perform as an American skeptic, but if you do a little research into who he is, you will find out he has ties to the World Worker Party, and is a rabid anti-American who seems to be happy getting this opportunity (like many turncoats and traitors before him) to bash America with Russia's help. Nobody in America thinks that RT is legitimate. www.youtube.com...
RT portrays a conflict between Russia and the West, or Left and Right, when in reality it's a Punch & Judy show. They are all puppets of the Judeo Masonic Banking cartel. The Kremlin-funded propaganda channel Russia Today indicates that Russia itself is an Illuminati proxy. The station promotes CIA assets and Co-Intel operations.
