I was recently asked about my thoughts on what we are all witnessing in Middle East and how it relates to what I wrote in my book, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man? I wanted to share my response:
Israel is not what it appears. The Jewish people there are told that this is about a Jewish state but in fact they are being exploited as our surrogates. Israel is basically our armed fortress in the middle of Arab oil fields. We use the religious argument as such arguments have always been used -- to dupe the innocent while the emperors expand their empires.
