neoliberalism anyone?


America's esoteric destiny seems to be one of breaking down all the cultures 
of the world in preparation for a new global culture that will become 
humanity's second nature. The Muslims, whose genius was born in the Middle 
Ages, have a point when they call America "the Great Satan," for this second 
nature is so artificial, so opposite to anything that a traditional person 
would wish to call cultural or natural, that it appears on the horizon of 
the human as something inhuman, monstrous, and evil. (113)
William Irwin Thompson, The American Replacement of Nature

America's critical role in the planetization of humanity does seem to be 
that of the catalytic enzyme that breaks down all the traditional cultures 
of the world, be they Asiatic, Islamic, or European. With Disneyland in 
Paris and Tokyo, the United States is well on its way to dissolving all the 
world cultures, and I do not think any nativistic revolt of Islam will 
succeed in stopping it any more than Marxist-Leninism did. (79)
William Irwin Thompson, The American Replacement of Nature
