A Realistic Path to Peace: From Genocide to Global War... And How We Can Stop It
This 2025 edition, with a new forward for the Trump era, updates earlier editions describing the crisis of war in eastern Europe (Ukraine and Russia), West Asia (Israel, Palestine, and their neighbors), and East Asia. It is an effort to identify the causes and sort truth from propaganda. It examines the role of the Big Lie in developing public consent and blunting popular opposition, and describes ways countries around the world as well as the general public are pressing for peace.
The book’s introduction says:
The world is in a crisis now. As its empire declines toward collapse, the United States leadership is making a series of disastrous errors. The "neocons" in Washington, DC, are determined to maintain U.S. global domination regardless of what it might take. The stakes are high for them. They seem to believe that if they "allow" any other country to challenge their global leadership, their whole system could fall apart.
So they are prepared to do whatever it takes. Supporting genocide in Israel--by providing weapons, money, and a bizarre "moral justification" for horrific genocidal bombing--is a sign of what it takes. Blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline was another sign of what it can take.
Western European leaders have been rounded up and bludgeoned into a unified NATO alliance against Russia, and in support of Israeli genocide against Palestinians. This alliance--originally composed of "north Atlantic" countries under U.S. leadership at the end of World War II--is now also being extended to Asia. It's a quest to curb China's historic economic success, which threatens Western domination of global trade.
A new peace movement is emerging. It faces enormous obstacles, including a gigantic wave of war hysteria engineered in Washington, magnified exponentially by a captive mainstream media that seems to have abandoned all pretense of critical journalistic independence and objectivity. But as facts emerge and truth surfaces, the movement for peace will intensify.
Combined with the horrific results of sanctions and war, these facts and truths can be expected to bring ever greater waves of opposition and resistance into the fray.
