Call to Action, before it's too late.
Readers, get this vital book for your library, for your future, for your children, for your Member of Parliament, for your Congressman/Senator/President.
You have never read North American history from this panoramic perspective. Here is a call to humanity... "Get active or get Radio-active".
The book is too heavy to read in bed; you need to study it at the kitchen table. Then shout a wake-up call to politicians on all sides.
Weeks will pass as you absorb this encyclopedic history viewed through the eyes of a former Native American studies professor, now professor of Globalization based in Blackfoot Country, Alberta.
Our future is grim if we allow the secret rulers to continue expanding criminal aggression through corporate manipulated greed.
Since 1492 the settlers in the New World have acquired the property of other landowners, sweeping across the planet through the Americas to Asia, into the Middle East, Hawaii and Africa; they want it all. The great sucking sound of territorial acquisition seems endless; democracy has been sucked up. Social justice has been destroyed by corporate greed starting with the theft of Native American land.
Globalization, corporate fascism, banker fraud, the biggest theft in history added to the
creation of the global war on terror, the war on drugs, endless wars for oil and resources, global pollution, depleted uranium used liberally polluting us all, new wars for democracy abroad, while democracy has been extinguished at home all add up to a bleak future for humanity. And Dr. Hall rejects the official 9/11, 2001 conspiracy theory foisted on the world.
The attacks on New York and the Pentagon were designed to justify and expand the grab for wealth, energy and resources worldwide.
Dr. Hall compares the treatment of indigenous peoples by Canadian and US authorities; neither government emerges with glowing pride.
You will read details of US, British Columbian and Canadian development of former Indian lands; you will find information not taught in school.
The attack goes on; Canada now runs with the big boys; our uranium (depleted) falls on brown people in the Middle East.
Every school library needs this history; every student needs this information; well done Dr. Hall.
Brace yourself; the damage done by the Evil Empire (with Canadian help) has a half life of 4.5 billion years.
