QUOTE A DAY - Nov. 30, 2010
Greetings fellow quote lovers:
Friends, one of the great intellectuals of the past 100
years died last week; Chalmers Johnson. He was 3rd
generation Navy and was a real patriot. He wrote many
books and was a voice that transcended left-right
designations.
This week is dedicated to this amazing man who loved his
country enough to stand for principles that many thought
were "disloyal". He walked his own talk and was a
tremendous shining light for the very best values in our
nation's traditions.
If you like these quotes, check out his Wikipedia page
and get a few of his books:

Farewell Doctor Johnson, your voice will be missed.
Best,
JA

*---- Quotes For The Week ----*
Like the Chinese, Ottoman, Hapsburg, imperial German,
Nazi, imperial Japanese, British, French, Dutch,
Portuguese, and Soviet empires in the last century,
we are approaching the edge of a huge waterfall and
are about to plunge over it.
--Chalmers Johnson
------------------------------------------------------------
I began to study our continuous military buildup since
WW II and the 737 military bases we currently maintain
in other people's countries. This empire of bases is
the concrete manifestation of our global hegemony,
and many of the blowback-inducing wars we have
conducted had as their true purpose the sustaining
and expanding of this network. We do not think of
these overseas deployments as a form of empire...
--Chalmers Johnson
------------------------------------------------------------
The concept 'blowback' does not just mean retaliation
for things our government has done to and in foreign
countries. It refers to retaliation for the numerous
illegal operations we have carried out abroad that
were kept totally secret from the American public.
--Chalmers Johnson

*---- More Quotes for the Week ----*
..the sorrows (of empire that are) already invading
our lives, which [are] likely to be our fate for years
to come: perpetual war, a collapse of constitutional
government, endemic official lying and dis-
information, and finally bankruptcy.
--Chalmers Johnson
------------------------------------------------------------
...as militarism, the arrogance of power, and the
euphemisms required to justify imperialism inevitably
conflict with America's democratic structure of
government and distort its culture and basic values,
I fear that we will lose our country.
--Chalmers Johnson
------------------------------------------------------------
History teaches us that the capacity for things
to get worse is limitless.
--Chalmers Johnson
------------------------------------------------------------
The failure to begin to deal with our bloated military
establishment and the profligate use of it in missions
for which it is hopelessly inappropriate will, sooner
rather than later, condemn the United States to a
devastating trio of consequences: imperial overstretch,
perpetual war, and insolvency, leading to a likely
collapse similar to that of the former Soviet Union.
--Chalmers Johnson
