Description

For decades, right-wing anti-Semites have been incensed by the ZOG, or Zionist Occupation Government, that they believe ruled America. Wilson parodied that by imaginatively seeing America's Drug Tsar as the direct successor of the Russian Tsars, ignoring the US constitution, and leading a Tsarist Occupation Government. Indeed, the story of a Nazi spy with ties to Mystical Tsarism becoming the CIA's major asset in fighting the cold war with the Soviets begins this tale of America in 2002, at show more the start of America's linguistically-challenged "War on Terrorism." "Humans at war with ideas" sits at the heart of this amusing and disturbing volume where absurdity comes face to face with insanity. In one chapter, Wilson considers why mass murderer Hannibal Lecter would make a better president than George W Bush. In examining the corroding effects of the American military-corporate juggernaut, Robert Anton Wilson notes, "Some may think I regard the Constitution as an almost sacred text. Not at all: I admit it has a few defects and blemishes. I just consider it a hell of a lot better than the system we have now." show less
