 Une Breve Histoire de l'Avenir (by Jacques Attali)
i just finished reading this one. 
this book shows the history of the 21st century(...2025...2035...2050...  )
it's so easy to read & interesting about the changing power structure. 
if you hadnt read it yet, much recommend!
this book was published in France(2006) in Japan(2008).
now obama won. the new game opened.
still i think the future way will go on this book story.   |

Rogue Economics (by Loretta Napoleoni)
this book is very interesting&valuable to glance through the dark side of global economy.
i didnt know that LIVE AID did result in much acceleration of terrorism(& poverty & civil war).
this book shows the ground why first world have never been helping third world by skill's support.
before, i saw "Sex Traffic" on tv, maybe early in 2008.
http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0419365/
its real horror.
now, i knew that the beginng ground of big slave market by this book.
& other various slave markets too.
recently i love economic books. 
because crime,war,trick,trade...various political horse-trading excite me.
its so interesting to understand the real world game.

I guess most people will have already read them, but...
1984, and also Animal Farm, by George Orwell. Absolute classics. And some very deep ideas about society and power, with a certain cynicism that I find very close to home. Gives you some insight into why revolutionaries eventually become those they overthrow.

I've just finished reading this book.
Obama - The Postmodern Coup
i think this book is worth reading for you all. ahaha maybe..or not..hahaha
especally for the great believers in Obama. 
in all honesty, before reading this book, i thought the author(Webster Griffin Tarpley) was a paranoid.
because, when i saw this book cover(Japanese version)...hahaha 
i think there are some paranoid thoughts in this book (ex. about the Gun widly shooting case of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University)
anyway, today's news, US did attack Pakistan.
children were killed.
Zbigniew Brzezinski is the super clever brain.
i really hate his thought.
because his game must make the Third World War.
i hope this book is only paranoid. 
but Brezezinski is the superb chess player.
you all have to observe his new chessman.

if you want to develop your abilities to understand the real game,
i recommend this book.
you can understand why ppl are always tricked by the media.
Understanding Power: The Indispensable Chomsky Edited by Peter R. Mitchell and John Schoeffel
i think some people here know that already.
but if you still stay in the illusion of media,
read this book, and then read some recent global economic books.
im just wondering about the next key currency...multiple or common...before 2009...10..11..12
