Chalmers Johnson hates you for your freedom

According to Chalmers Johnson, the clouds hovering over America’s tomorrow will not be pink, fluffy or magical. There’ll be unicorns alright, as Americans will still be under the spell of corporate mythology, but they’ll be brandishing antiquated machine guns against a powerful Chinese army. And the streets will run red with unicorn blood.

Actually, he doesn’t predict a Chinese invasion, more of a Soviet style implosion received by the world with a similar level of enthusiasm. The military-industrial complex can’t be sustained. Military Keynesianism, as he calls it, is a tremendous economic liability, dragging the U.S. down while other giants race ahead. Well, Britain still hasn’t been invaded by its former oppressees (yet), so we’ve got that going for us.

(This Johnson’s one calm old dude, breaking down the impending disappearance from the American suburbascape of bottled water and spoiled punk teenagers like he’s telling his grandkids a twisted German fairytale.)
