Hydra of Carnage Bushs Imperial War

by Craig Hulet

The Hydra of Bush's Imperial War-making and the Rule of Law describes the events of 9/11 in a different light, arguing America was hit because of the perception of people throughout the world that America leads a new kind of Empire. An American-led empire whose ideology is Corporatism; where of the 100 largest economies in the world, America being the largest, 55 are monopoly corporations. Congressman Jack Metcalf stated regarding Mr. Hulet's ongoing research and analysis the "Craig Hulet has been an invaluable advisor. Whether the issue is MAI, GATT, NAFTA, or the more general question of the growing power of transnational corporations over our institutions and everyday lives, Mr. Hulet provides a heavily researched, coldly logical analysis where others too often delve with emotion, biases, and disinformation. His work should be widely disseminated. His conclusions should be very carefully considered." Three (of the 20 plus chapters and appendices)chapters describe what Hulet sees as an evolution from classical terrorism into an International Urban Guerrilla Warfare; the targets were key to understanding this and why America will be hit again. Hulet is considered one of the better informed experts in his field, once described by Rita Rich (Producer for Jim Bohannon)as "Fasten your seatbelts when you start reading Hulet's Human, All-Too-Human, Hulet. Craig is a man who I call for expert advice on surviving Y2K, international and domestic terrorism, and white supremacy, (to name a few topics.) Now I'll have to call on him to interpret the whim of the American public."

Craig Hulet's repetitive and tedious writing makes reading him a labor; but it is worth it. At the risk of joining the ranks of "conspiracy theorists," I find compelling much in Hulet's reporting and analysis. He makes the case for this proposition:
"In the past I said there were those with the perception that there is an American-led empire; here I am asserting ...(that) there is "in fact" an American-led Empire being put into place globally. Not AMERICAN, American, but an economic regime led by multinational corporations, and international governing organizations (IGO); a regime defended by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Pentagon, offered as the ONE BEST WAY through the World Trade Organization (WTO) and its bureaucratic institutions like the World Trade Center (WTC)."
As part of his analysis, written in 2002, he says, "I shall argue this war shall last the rest of my lifetime and yours too." He even predicted in 1993, before he was even Governor of Texas, that George W. Bush would become POTUS. (Excerpts from the Forward)
He says toward the close of the book: "America will be abandoned at some point in time. It has begun the process already in corporate desertions to off-shore anywhere. ...America as America will only remain in the myths the old faithful pour out in tears of lost hopes. Gone forever will be the middle-class of anything. The streets will fill with the worst sorts of degenerates, and criminality will take over each inner city." (p.319)
Craig Hulet references interesting commentators and sources. Much that he projects has been spot-on. Just remember in reading him (or consulting his web page) that he succumbs at times to his own warning on p.276: "The problem with conspiracy theorists is they always go too far."
