$$$$$S in Their Hearts by Alberto Portugheis, OPUS BOOKS, November 2014
Henry David Thoreau said that there are 1000 people striking at the branches of evil, for every one that strikes at the roots. This book is an effort to strike at the roots of what is probably the most brutal and devastating way through which evil manifests itself in the world: War.
It allows the reader to see war for what it truly is, a very profitable and criminal enterprise, run for the profit of the few at the expense of the many, a very different picture from the official cover stories we get by the official media, and other ‘official sources’, ensuring with their lies that this criminal business continues undisturbed, no matter what the consequences are for others.
By the end of it, it will also become clear that this incredibly evil business could not exist without the wilful complicity of many ‘officially honest’ and ‘officially respectable’ people, at many different levels throughout society, media, politics, banking, industry, education, military, religion, etc. all of them more than happy to sell their souls in exchange for their thirty pieces of silver, rather than having the courage to look beyond their personal gains and choose what is right instead.
A must read book especially for those who still think the current world economic system can allow politicians to create a world at Peace. As Alberto Portugheis clearly and objectively explains. IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!
