Descriere
VOLUME 3
Volumes three to five are mainly the big picture polemical chapters related by White-Dove, a mythical talking bird who also takes us on a flight of fancy over Havana, as she explains E=mc² in easy bite-size terms. And there’s a second, ending to the five escapees’ story.
The 2008 banking crash and banking is exposed and linked with a 40-year neoliberal project, transferring wealth and power to the top 1% and corporations. This project needs strong states and weak citizens; hence the war on terror, loss of civil liberties, mass surveillance etc. This volume shows the connections between the Project for the New American Century, the neocons, the war on terror, the military-industrial complex and banking.
===
SYNTHESIS
Synthesis is the story of five escapees from US Guantanamo in Oct. 2004 that unravels through to June, 2017. Over half of the book is the escapees’ unfolding adventure story under Cuban jurisdiction and the various international repercussions that follow. The second half exposes the connections between the war on terror, the 2008 banking crash, the military-industrial complex, and US-NATO regime change policies. All driven by a 40-year neoliberal agenda transferring wealth and power from ordinary people to the top 1%, and corporations. This is an epic-sized book (202k + 67k in Refs), which is set out in Five Volumes.
Synthesis is bold and provocative. It will inform and enlighten the reader to question everything they’re told, and encourage them to think for themselves. The book mostly uses plain language (some very strong language), and there are two different endings to the five escapees’ story, as well as a third overall ending to the entire big picture story.

Dedications:
In writing Synthesis, I’ve been informed and inspired by (amongst others): John Pilger, Clive Stafford-Smith, Noam Chomsky, Ambalavaner Sivanandan and Michael Crichton, as well as George Orwell and Robert Tressell. I want to thank George Groom-White, for proof reading and guidance and Caroline Petherick for editing and enhancing the text. Though since then, I’ve added and altered many parts and take full responsibility for my errors.
About the Author:
I’m no spring chicken. Left school at fifteen and worked some 17 years before returning to education, as a mature student. Acquired a sociology degree, followed by social work and teaching qualifications. Worked as a social worker for eight years, before starting to write Synthesis on and off from 2004 – some 13 nears ago. Since then, I’ve worked variously as a builder, community worker, social worker and taxi-driver.

Israel-Palestine: who’s the victim?
This is a very brief, fact-based fictional book in six parts. It shows the essential issues at the heart of the Palestine–Israel conflict since 1948. The first two parts are an account of the 2008/09 Israeli Operation Cast Lead. Part Three looks at why the Palestinian people overwhelmingly voted for Hamas in January 2006.
Sections four and five provide updates and an assessment of the 2013, US-sponsored Israel-Palestine peace talks. The last part covers the 2014 Operation Protective Edge – Israel’s latest attempt to kill the Palestinian people’s irrepressible spirit.
This book exposes the big lie – the elephant hanging off a cliff with its tail tied to a daisy; of the claim, Israel, the victim. It is intended to put the other, seldom-heard point of view across to the reader – with a good dose of artistic licence.
Good News – this book can be read under 3 hours!

Please ignore the introduction to this Volume,
if you wish to maintain the integrity of the unfolding story.
Volume Three – Chapters 39 to 45: New world order to second ending of escapee’s story.
Volumes three to five are mainly the polemical chapters showing the facts and data big picture, which is related by White-Dove, a mythical talking bird and international ambassador for peace. She even takes us on a flight of fancy over Havana and explains E=mc2 in easy bite-size terms.
The first three chapters are linked and cover the events leading up to and the consequences of the 2008 banking crash. This starts with the new world order, a 40-year neoliberal project imposed by the top 1% and multinational corporations, against the interests of 99% of humanity.
For this project to succeed, it needs strong states and weak citizens. Hence, the war on terror, leading to loss of civil liberties and mass surveillance, alongside a relentless transfer of wealth and democratic power to the top 1%, and their corporations.
This volume exposes the links between the Project for the New American Century, the neocons, the war on terror, the military-industrial complex and the banking system.
Given such revelations and the 1% versus the 99% analysis, Synthesis will be denounced and torn to shreds by the establishment and its media, though some parts of it will also jar and shock progressive minded people. For instance, the global warming theory is questioned and challenged with evidence from equally eminent scientists – who no longer have careers to worry about.
Volume three ends with the second, alternative ending to the five escapees’ story and is symbolic of a world order in transition; moving from a uni-polar American domination to a China-led multi-polar world of different options. The very idea – US leaders can’t get their head round.
Chapter 39: New World Order
I, White-Dove alone, will be relating this part of Synthesis – the big picture, so we will dispense with the speech marks and pick them up again returning to the five escapee’s story.
Now, if you’ll allow me, I want to show you what’s really going on. But first, I need to acquaint you with my E=mc2 time-slip-conversant way of thinking. I cross reference my memory banks with related themes and date logs. In other words – my terra firma friends, time and motion will continue to run as I’m telling you the different parts of the Synthesis story.
So come with me now on a journey to show you the big picture and do forgive me please for being brutally honest with you. This starts with the new world order, which leads into the synthesis and helps to explain the 2008 credit crunch shit-storm raging across today’s world.
What exactly is this new world order? you might well be asking. Okay, I’ll explain it to you, but with a flight of fancy – if you don’t mind. I am Cuban after all and we do like our art and culture, music and dance; just as much as we enjoy our health and education, Cuban cigars and Habana rum. Now brace yourselves, as I’m going in at 100 miles an hour.
The new world order is a conspicuous consumption blockbuster picture show of two halves. The haves and have-nots. The richest and most powerful Lord Curzon-style imperialist masters that control the new world order agenda and their victims, the poorest one-third of Planet Earth’s less-than-$2-a-day human species.1
The new world order is capitalism, raw and rapacious, red in tooth and claw, supremely profitable and confidently unassailable. The epochal era of Maggie Thatcher’s no such thing as society and selfish greed, translated into New Labour virtues.2
All buttressed with the big lie of the fundamentalist new religion of conspicuous consumption – oiled and greased by built-in obsolescence and glorified by ephemeral fads and fashions of celebrity endorsements, keeping you ignorant of the vast range of human ideas.
Force-feeding you ever more soap operas, game shows, sport and more sport, reality TV’s five minutes of fame and fortune, US-formulaic canned-laughter sitcoms and cookery shows galore; filling the slots in between the commercials that pervade everything. All to stop you thinking.
What the new world order, globalisation or imperialism – call it what you will, really needs is states that are strong and citizens that are weak. Hence the contrived war on terror. Which in the name of freedom and democracy, enables politicians to remove their people’s civil liberties and democratic rights by placing national security over and above everything else.
This makes certain politicians feel particularly important: ‘I feel the hand of history is on our shoulders … I really do,’ as a certain grinning Cheshire-cat would say.3
Self-importance is meat and wine to ambitious politicians’ super-egos sustained on luxurious gourmet lifestyles built on the backs of their ripped-off voters. Their lifelong public service careers of generous salaries and index-linked pensions, together with self-certified expense accounts, multi-course dinners and rapidly-rising tax-free profits on second homes.
Supplemented with lucrative directorships and consultancies, lavishly swilled down at their Last Supper with the £millions from their self-congratulatory memoirs. Their 30 pieces of silver from the new world order – for services rendered.
The politicians’ actions serve the interests of their paymaster, the new world order; enabling it to replace your citizenship rights with the rights of the marketplace; continually lauded and broadcast by your multimedia and the conspicuous consumption public relations industry.
Conspicuous consumption, is of course, the brainchild of the new world order – as is built-in obsolescence and increasing inequality and exploitation of workers, immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers. It’s precisely because this greed-and-profits-driven engine creates growing inequalities that it needs to replace your citizenship rights with the rights of the marketplace.
In the marketplace, not only do those with the most money have the most rights, the most vulnerable and the poorest are priced out of the market. They’re removed off the agenda, they’re collateral damage. They don’t count.
Now please allow me to inform you of the plain truth of the matter. All capitalist leaders, from Ronald Reagan and Maggie Thatcher to Tony Blair and George W. Bush have massively concentrated power at the top – while claiming the opposite.
According to the Russian economist, Boris Kagarlitsky, in terms of freedom and democracy, the new world order ‘doesn’t mean the powerlessness of the state – but the rejection by the state of its social functions.’4
In this new world order, health and education, social services and social security, housing and pensions, heat and light and all production and consumption are turned over to the market to determine access and allocation – on the ability to pay.
Whereas their governments’ new role is to enforce ‘repressive measures’ to ensure a dumbed-down and passive democracy, alongside a conspicuously consuming workforce.5
***************
Such is the end of ideology, or once Blair’s neither left-or-right third way. Same as his 1997 New Labour government’s ethical foreign policies, when they continued to lucratively sell Hawk fighter jets to the Indonesian regime to target against the 200,000 collateral victims of East Timor.6 An entire third of that country’s population wiped out with Blair’s enthusiastic help.
This is a good example of a grinning Cheshire-cat, war criminal at work. As was his and Bush’s ongoing 12 years of genocidal sanctions on the Iraqi people from 1991 to 2003.
This resulted in the deaths of a million Muslim people, including more than five thousand children a month. When Dennis Halliday, the UN’s Coordinator of Humanitarian Relief to Iraq resigned protesting: ‘We’re targeting civilians. Worse, we’re targeting children.’7
Meanwhile you people in the West – even today, know little or nothing of the deeds carried out by your political leaders, thanks to your Murdochracy-dominated free press.
Just like the time the Israelis received Blair and Bush’s full blessings for their revenge attacks on the Lebanese civilian population – when they failed to defeat Hizbollah in August 2006, and murdered over 1,000 Lebanese civilians instead. Then as they left, they rained down four million US-made cluster bombs.8 Who’s the terrorist here, my featherless friends?
Yes, of course, they knew children would be their main victims. But these were not real children – just collateral damage. So they don’t count.
As these ethical public-relations-friendly cluster bombs announce: Have a nice day – before irrevocably punishing a child’s wrong step with an explosive chainsaw; cutting and slicing their limbs, mutilating their minds and bodies. Or just extinguishing their barely flickering pubescent Muslim flames, rendering them involuntary martyrs.
From such deeds are the future terrorists spawned. This is the flip side of the new world order, the cause-and-effect symbiotic relationship of inequality and injustice, sowing the seeds of terrorism and revealing the big picture of the Synthesis.
Where one third of humanity, the collateral victims of this so-called liberal democracy barely obtains the basics of food, water and shelter – as they perish in the forlorn hope of a little less pain and misery tomorrow. Or at least, a little less pain and misery for their children’s tomorrow.
This is the Other World, where three out of ten of Planet Earth’s human species don’t even make a monthly telephone call, let alone surf the net 24/7. Where they’re forced to survive on less than $2 a
