“The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have somebody write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long that nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was…. The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting.” ~ Milan Kundera

    1. This will be in print form in Volume II of 2018 Annual Wrap Up.

  2. I read part of your personal history but I cannot seem to reach it anymore.
    I did not realize how personal this is with you even what happened to your parents.
    The other surprising fact is Donald Rumsfeld speech on 9/10/01 was him trying to get out in front of your report on this missing money and it was not initiated by him.
    I know it is very difficult to know things that others cannot or will not contemplate.

  3. Catherine, this is brilliant! Wonderful to have this all together..I hope it will always be accessible. You are an inspiration!

  4. Hi Catherine,

    I offer the following program on Alex Carey’s book after reading the warning/quote by Milan Kundera (“The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory.”)
    I listened to this, part 2, today. I knew about the business roundtable and Powell, but this goes into detail that includes programs in the 1940s to combat unions and the democratic party. I’m kinda in shell shock. Have not heard part 1 yet.

    Wall Street has spent $Billions to change public opinion and congress cited here – since the 1920s. They used editorials, cartoons, ads, fake polls, none identified by source. They succeeded in changing public opinion against unions, against social programs. They changed laws, including consumer protection and those that favored unions. Undermining democracy was another intent of big business/Wall Street. (Ironic that they still use the reason of “democracy” to invade other countries and install a right wing dictator.) Alex Carey was a sociology professor in Australia, published his book in 1995.
