American Exceptionalism and American Innocence examines the stories we’re told that lead us to think that the U.S. is a force for good in the world, regardless of slavery, the genocide of indigenous people, and the more than a century’s worth of imperialist war that the U.S. has wrought on the planet. Roberto Sirvent and Danny Haiphong detail just what Captain America’s shield tells us about the pretensions of U.S. foreign policy, how Angelina Jolie and Bill Gates engage in humanitarian imperialism, and more.

Essential reading
Revisado: 09-27-22
The content of this excellent book should be mandatory learning material right across the colonial settler United Starship Trooper held territories of America, for there really are just two endings possible to this brief period known for its rabid exceptionalism and cognitive dysentery before humanity can progress to a paradigm of mutual cooperation and friendship. The warm, fuzzy, civil wrought wrap up of the violent thrashings of the Washington apparatus that’s been inflicting carnage on the World without remorse far too long, or the hot, radioactive Washingtonian hellscape, imposed with the regret of a rational State from afar.
The world has indeed had enough of this disgusting hegemon.

Under the cover of being designated as private correspondence, the letters between the queen and the governor-general about the dismissal have been locked away for decades in the National Archives of Australia, and embargoed by the queen - potentially forever. In the face of this, Professor Jenny Hocking embarked on a four-year legal battle to force the Archives to release the letters. In 2015, she mounted a crowd-funded campaign, securing a stellar pro bono team that took her case all the way to the High Court of Australia.

Quite amusing to read Malcolm Turnbull’s preface to a story that, as well as uncovering the traitorous grovelling character of a Governor General that set Australia on the sadly curtailed course to a potentially very different destination, but that also revealed the extent of his own spinelessness in materially doing anything while in the “top job” to assist with the disclosure of the material for the historical record. There are many graves fit for public toiletry in the sycophantic sphere of Australia’s political puppetry. They multiply with time, regardless which master they flatter to our detriment.

In the last few years, China's aid program has leapt out of the shadows. But China's tradition of secrecy about its aid fueled rumors and speculation, making it difficult to gauge the risks and opportunities provided by China's growing embrace. This well-timed book, by one of the world's leading experts, provides the first comprehensive account of China's aid and economic cooperation overseas. Deborah Brautigam tackles the myths and realities, explaining what the Chinese are doing, how they do it, how much aid they give, and how it all fits into their "going global" strategy.

Rare, honest & refreshing.

Such sojourns beyond the perfidious vale of State Department approved propaganda are increasingly hard to come by from the pens of Western Academia.
It is incumbent on us all to impress upon our brothers and sisters in the core and in the greater vassaldom, that the “peril” is not and has very rarely ever been an externality.. but a malignant cancer within.

Capitalist globalisation since the 1980s has produced immense benefits in terms of technical progress, poverty reduction and welfare improvement. However, it has been accompanied by profound contradictions, including ecological destruction, global warming, inequality, concentration of business power and financial instability. Regulation of global political economy in the interests of the majority of the world’s population is essential if the human species is to avoid a Darwinian catastrophe.

Vitally important ideas in current times.. but why has it been pulled from the catalogue? (Because the virtue of its content conflicts with the dishonesty inherent in the official narrative).
