American Torture -- from the Cold War to Abu Ghraib and Beyond, 2007, Michael OTTERMAN.
Sleep deprivation. Induced hypothermia. Forced standing. Water boarding. Sexual humiliation. George W. Bush calls them an 'alternative set of procedures', vital tools needed 'to protect the American people and our allies'. By any definition, these techniques are torture.
In American Torture Michael Otterman reveals how torture became standard practice in today's War on Terror and how it was refined, spread and legalised. Long before Abu Ghraib became a household name, the US military and CIA had used torture with impunity both at home and abroad. Billions of dollars were spent during the Cold War studying, refining, then teaching these techniques to American interrogators and to foreign officers charged with keeping Communism at bay.
As the Cold War ended, these tortures were legalised using the very laws designed to eradicate their use. After 9/11, the practices were revived again for use on 'enemy combatants' detained in America's vast gulag of prisons across the globe, from secret CIA black sites in Thailand to the detention centre at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.
American Torture shows how the road to Abu Ghraib leads back through US military survival schools, Latin American military assistance programs, Vietnamese counter-terror operations and, finally, to the USSR and Communist China.
Torture violates more than international law and fundamental human rights – it radicalises enemies, undermines credibility and yields unreliable intelligence. Above all, the practice does not make the world a safer place.
Michael Otterman is an award-winning freelance journalist and documentary filmmaker. He was a recent visiting scholar at the Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies (CPACS) at the University of Sydney. He has covered crime and culture for an array of publications, including Melbourne's Is Not magazine, the Sydney City Hub newspaper, and Boston's Weekly Dig. He lives in New York City.

WHO OWNS BRITAIN "It is hard to believe that we've waited for a hundred years for
this book... a vital and illuminating study of great political significance." ANDY WIGHTMAN, author of the best-selling WHO OWNS SCOTLAND A startling piece of research, and a searing critique of both the landowning aristocracy and the Land Registry, WHO OWNS BRITAIN is an eye-opening
examination of the nation's most valuable asset - its land. Cahill argues that our present system of landownership is of material detriment to the vast majority of homeowners in Britain, while many of the nation's wealthiest landowners pay no rates and actually receive money
in the form of grants and subsidies.
WHO OWNS BRITAIN is relevant to every resident in the UK. It is a vital piece of investigation that should lead to a closer examination of our land laws
and regulations.
"A book of prime - even sublime - importance." IRISH TIMES "Every library should have a copy of this book." BUSINESS A.M. "In this brave work, Cahill makes a plea for the last great social reform, land reform, already high on the political agenda for Scotland... Cahill has
called his book WHO OWNS BRITAIN. He might equally well have called it
WHO RUNS BRITAIN." THE TIMES JACKET DESIGN BY JAMES HUTCHESON
Pakistan was not a nation that seemed susceptible to the pressure of Islamic fundamentalism.
However, as years passed it has become increasingly clear that there has been a process of creeping Islamization. This ostensibly secular state now has a mandatory death sentence for crimes 'defiling the name of the Prophet Mohammed'. A state formed with the intention of protecting religious minorities from persecution has seen the persecution of its own minorities gradually increase to the point where the Christian community is under great pressure.
This book is a thorough analysis of the Christian Community in Pakistan. It reveals a gradual shift in the Pakistani State, and is a clear warning to the West and minorities in other Muslim countries around the world of what can happen when conservative Islamic voices come to the fore.
"While Western Political leaders rightly call for tolerance of Muslims within their own nations the plight of Christians in one of the most prominent Muslim nations goes largely unreported - this is an attempt to correct that deficiency. The basic question is 'Can there be freedom for Christians in an Islamic state?' and the result of the developments in Pakistan recorded here suggest a rather negative answer to that question."

Gone Whaling -- Stumbling towards Sustainability,
R. Graham Chittleborough, ? 2003, 114 pp. His latest book recounts experiences as a marine scientist working for the CSIRO from the early 1950s and researching whaling on both the west and east coasts of Australia. The Federal Government set quotas that were related to the capacity of the whaling stations, instead of to the whale stock. When numbers fell, quotas were reduced in an arbitrary fashion. The Russian whalers under-stated their reports to the International Whaling Commission. (The original reports were found after the Cold War ended.) (Source: SPA newsletter No 59, Sep 2003, p 11)

The Party's Over, Richard Heinberg, ? 2003. The US Energy Information Agency (EIA) in a report stated: "... EIA estimates are based on non-technical considerations that support domestic supply growth to levels necessary to meet projected demand levels." In other words, Americans should believe there will be no lessening of petroleum, and "should continue buying and consuming with no care for the future." In 2002, George Bush [an oil baron] said: "We need an energy bill that encourages consumption."

Gangs of America by Ted Nace, 2003, can be obtained off the internet at www.gangsofamerica.com/read.html , with a few chapters in ordinary format (HTML) for sampling, and the rest in Acrobat PDF format. At an early age Ted Nace became interested in corporations riding roughshod over local communities. After writing for computer magazines, he started a publishing business.
After eleven years as publisher, Nace sold Peachpit Press to British conglomerate Pearson Plc, and he returned to freelance writing. In seeking to understand the institutional structure of power in America, he investigated the historical roots of the corporation, as well as reflecting on his own experiences as a community organizer and a publishing entrepreneur.
According to Nace, the optimistic view after the Great Depression was dashed in the final decades of the twentieth century, as Big Business mounted a remarkable comeback. The corporate political resurgence began with a 1971 memorandum written by Lewis Powell, Jr., shortly before Powell was appointed to the Supreme Court by Richard Nixon. In the memorandum, Powell urged corporate America to apply its full
organizational and strategic resources to politics, a course of action that proved highly successful.
Gangs of America is the result of that research and reflection.

The Best Democracy Money Can Buy, The Truth About Globalisation, Corporate Cons and High Finance Fraudsters, by Greg Palast, 2002, Pluto Press, Britain. BRITAIN: Newsitem discussing this and other books exposing how the Iraq war was engineered, climbing the U.S. bestseller charts, April 20 2003, follows:--
Beneath the uniformity of a US media high on victory in Iraq, a wave of books of a heretical flavour is flooding the bestseller lists.
At number five in the New York Times bestsellers and climbing Amazon's
chart is The Best Democracy Money Can Buy, a collection of essays by journalist Greg Palast, one of a triad known as the 'Angry White Men' - a play on the title at number six in the chart, Stupid White Men by film director Michael Moore, with 500,000 sales.
The third in the 'axis of anti' is Noam Chomsky, whose controversial 9/11 -- in which he calls America 'a leading terrorist state' -- has 205,000
copies in print.
The books are comfortably outselling titles which might seem at first to better reflect the zeitgeist*, such as Hatred's Kingdom: How Saudi Arabia Supports the New Global Terrorism and similar.
Concluding his recent book tour, Moore said: 'I look out into the
auditorium or gymnasium and I see Mr and Mrs Middle America, who voted for George W Bush and believed in the American dream as defined by the Bushes and Wall Street. Then they woke up to realise it was just that, a dream.'
On Iraq, a number of fast-selling books have joined British writer Con Coughlin's Saddam: King of Terror with less conventional attacks not on the fallen tyrant but on America's war. They include Targeting Iraq: Sanctions, Bombing and US Policy by Geoff Simons and Gore Vidal's Dreaming War: Blood for Oil and the Bush-Cheney Junta.
Palast's book - published by Pluto Press in Britain last year - is the latest to appear in America. Subtitled The Truth About Globalisation, Corporate Cons and High Finance Fraudsters, Moore endorsed it with an enthusiastic 'Read this book'.
The essays include Palast's investigation into vote-rigging during the Florida campaign that won Bush the election and into the place where Americans fear to tread: alleged close ties between the Bush and bin Laden families.
Once Palast's book was published in America, the media took a cue from Tony Blair's aide Alastair Campbell, who issued a political health warning on the author in Britain.
Plans by CNBC television to have him as a commentator on the Phil Donahue chat show were reversed after one performance, following an internal company memo recommending against guests who were 'sceptical of the Bush administration' when 'other networks are taking every opportunity to wave the flag'.
But his book is selling without the name recognition or marketing behind Moore and Chomsky.
'Michael Moore was the battering ram through the media Berlin Wall,' he said, 'and Chomsky and I are rushing through.
'There is a whole number of Americans who have been hypnotised,
propagandised, and short-changed, who know something is wrong.
Apparently the moment has come for the awful truth.'

Shouldn't our grandchildren know?
R. Graham Chittleborough, 1992, South Fremantle, Fremantle Arts Centre Press. This masterly autobiographical book covers pollution (even a large section of Albany's harbour had to be closed to fishing), salination and other destruction of soil, the water shortage, declining rainfall, smog, and the destruction of the ability of the earth to refresh itself. He writes: ". . . do we really need another million people in Perth? Or, to put it more bluntly, can we afford another million?
"The well-worn arguments of conventional economists for more people are looking rather thin as we approach the capacities of our life-support
systems. . . . Since in Australia birth rates are now barely
at replacement levels, the only ways in which Perth's population can double
are by immigration and the continued exodus from rural areas."
Graham Chittleborough was trained under Antarctic explorer Douglas Mawson, and spent 25 years studying ocean creatures. He then began battling a "monolithic bureaucracy" that just didn't want to know that Australia was going seriously wrong. On the issue of mining in national parks, he was forced by an industry-led clique and others into early retirement from the W.A. Environmental Protection Authority in 1987. He refused to give up his struggle to make the world safe for future generations.
Sir Ninian Stephen, Ambassador for the Environment, describes the book: "His focus is Australia but his reach is global . . ." This book's royalties are being shared with the Conservation Council of Western Australia. 195pp, ISBN 1 86368 015 2, Dewey 333.79092

Bankers and Bastards, Paul McLEAN and James RENTON, Hudson Publishing, 1992, Hawthorn (Victoria, Australia).
This book is all about the way banks and bankers have moved from providing a service and advice, into being profit-oriented purveyors of dubious "products" (back cover). An example was that the Commonwealth Trading Bank had emptied out the trading account with a woman by putting the money on term deposit, stopping her from making the interest payment on her capital loan from the Commonwealth Development Bank (page 3). The CTB then took her to the Bankruptcy Court, even though she sold other assets and had paid the proceeds to the CTB.
There were also the famous Westpac Letters, revealed in the Australian Senate. These documents ought to have been referred to the National Crime Authority in February 1991 (p 88), but weren't. The book covers the Foreign Currency Loan scandal. The "Establishment" managed to squash Senator McLean's exposures, which had been made with the help of anonymous faxers from overseas.
(Inserted 21 Dec 04)
Back Cover's wording:
Bankers and Bastards
... is all about the way banks and bankers have moved from being the respected pillars of the community, providing a trusted service and reliable advice, into being profit-oriented purveyors of dubious 'products'. It's also about how we suffer the consequences and the government mainly looks on and watches.
The authors became involved because people came to them for help: Renton as a lawyer, McLean as a politician.
Paul McLean (right) has been a teacher, an army officer and a social planner. But it was as Australian Democrat Senator for New South Wales that he became interested in bank malpractice. His battle to get the Westpac Letters before the Senate is now history.
James Renton (left) is a Barrister and Solicitor of the High Court of Australia. He has made a speciality of white-collar crime, and has advised hundreds of victims of bank malpractice. It was his files which provided many of the cases tabled in the Senate by Paul McLean.
Hudson Publishing, Hawthorn (Victoria), 1992. 178pp, 13.7 x 21.4 cm (5 3/8 x 8 3/8 inches), soft covers, well illustrated with documents proving main points, no footnotes, epilogue, index, ISBN 0-949873-40-3, $AUD16.95 in 1992.

Land reform in Guatemala would be a threat to investors, according to a US
State Department document (p. 122). Land proprietors were created in India
during the British "permanent settlement" of affairs (p. 116). Dacca at one
time was as big and as prosperous as London, until the multinationals of
a couple of centuries ago ensured that its textile industry was swamped by
regulations and "free" trade, thus ensuring wealth for their Manchester
factories. Nowadays the Indian Government's minister of finance must report
directly to the World Bank in Washington (p. 127).
Economic rationalists and the market economy theorists are working in the
interests of the masters of the global economy, and to the detriment of the
rest of the world, Chomsky writes in this book.
Chomsky, author of many books including
The Prosperous Few
and the Restless Many, Turning the Tide, The Culture of
Terrorism, and
Necessary
Illusions, is Professor of Linguistics at the Massachussets Institute
of Technology. He co-authored Manufacturing Consent, in which the
claim was made that the consent of electors in so-called democracies is
"manufactured" by very clever and unscrupulous people working for the super-rich.

In "Free Market Fantasies" which can be heard online from that link or from
http://206.9.170.150/archive/audio/fmf.html, he said that all of the
top 100 transnational corporations in the world had benefited from government
assistance in their alleged "home" country, and 20 of them had been saved
from collapse. Yet these companies were strongly advocating "free market"
theory, while receiving government subsidies or being baled out. He covers
the reasons for over-fishing through government subsidies while "free" trade
was introduced.
Newt Gingrich was one of the most successful politicians in obtaining government
help for his electorate's industries, while preaching the "market."

First Abolish the Customer 202 Arguments Against Economic Rationalism
by Bob Ellis, 1998, Ringwood (Victoria, Australia), Penguin Books.
Paperback 222pp, $17.95.
"House prices will go up to consume disposable income ... Whatever
savings are made on the prices of smaller goods, the price of houses and
the rent of houses will always go up to consume the difference. Prove
that I lie. For a roof is the one thing you cannot do without, and
will, if you are employed, pay anything for. Prove that I lie.
And the argument that smaller families mean cheaper housing is fallacious."
"Real estate became the preoccupation of a whole generation, and family fortunes
made and lost with its manipulations." (pp 109-110)
"On a true level playing field, products would compete for customers
on the basis of product quality; not Orwellian sales pitch. Local soft
drinks, local biscuits, local cheeses, local beers, local shoes and hats
and radios would have a chance. ... But not in a globalised economy.
There, because of television, the big automatically prevail, and the small
have to struggle to be noticed. So economic rationalism hurts, and
often mortally hurts, small business. And therefore abolishes competition.
(p 98)
COMMENT: There are many facts, too, about the unethical practices of some
huge corporations in the past and at present. However, the book will
be spoiled for some people by the claims on pages 23 to 25 that the Soviet
Union had not been a threat to world peace, and by the lack of an index.

The High Court In Mabo - Legalist Or L'egotiste
"It is arguable that Mabo, all factors considered, is an unjust decision
which involves legal change but not law reform. It has created a platform
for further unjust legislation drafted by the Commonwealth Government and
enacted by Parliament. Deep divisions in the Australian community will be
the ultimate consequence.
"Bill Hassall asks: What kind of madness is it that leads the established
organs and institutions of a nation which prides itself on its legal, democratic
and constitutional traditions, to deliberately create a monster; a legal
monster of separateness based on race, of divisions of its people based on
race, of legal privilege, of uncertainty, of vast indeterminate cost, of
certain injustice, of indeterminate consequence, of upheaval of long established
and sound legal principles; and in doing so put at risk a groping towards
a free and equal society in which an indigenous people can take their place
as equals?" (Hassall 1993:11).

Note: These books were on my shelves on 18th June 2006. They give some idea of my background reading in alternative modern history during the past forty or more years. The list gives an indication of the enormous amount of research done by many persons during the 20th Century. Future students of the period who are struggling to comprehend the pattern of events may find the list helpful in their research.
[COMMENT: Some of the above authors had tried to deny the enormity of some of the greatest 20th century crimes. Readers would do well to remember the 2006 high price for artworks won in a court case by a relation of a person who had been murdered. However, skewed as the list is, most of these books ought to open new vistas for people brought up on "politically correct" misconceptions. Just as the trendy lefties try to pretend that the tortures and slave camps of the Soviet Union, Communist China and other Marxist dictatorships need not be admitted, so some of their opponents try to whitewash crimes from the Nazi-Fascits end of the political spectrum.
COMMENT ENDS.]

WHO OWNS BRITAIN
AUSTRALIA: The electoral fraud at the Australian federal elections in 1987 was boasted about afterwards by a Labor Party stalwart. It even led veteran left-winger Frank Hardy to say there had been fraud, and afterwards to write a fable about it. So author Dr Amy McGrath's full title for her latest book is The Stolen Election, Australia 1987, according to Frank Hardy. The late Mr Hardy had previously won national fame through a court case against him for his book exposing business frauds in political circles, Power without glory.
But Dr McGrath also tells of the 1993 computer hacking of the Electoral Commission's computer, affecting the enrolments of 11.5 million Australians.
The book explains how the mass media, the electoral officials, and even the political parties that have been denied office by the frauds seem unable to get their mind around how fraud prevents democracy from working. Dr McGrath and the H.S.Chapman Society must be doing something right -- she has been attacked by Gerard Henderson of the Sydney Institute.
Union electoral fraud in Queensland led to an inquiry, which the Premier of the day suddenly shut down by withdrawing all funds and even put decorators into the premises! According to a 1996 report a postman named Mr Cook was dismissed after objecting to the denial of 1000 ballots to workers.
UNITED STATES: According to notes on Amazon.com's website: "John Perkins started and stopped writing Confessions of an Economic Hit Man four times over 20 years. He says he was threatened and bribed in an effort to kill the project, but after 9/11 he finally decided to go through with this exposé of his former professional life." --
