Very thoughtful post Apophenia. "They" certainly tell us what they are going to do. And, it isn't so mysterious. In Jeffrey Sachs's recent address to the EU parliament, he tells us that these position papers from "think tanks" and highly paid intellectuals are "the plan". That's how it works.
He specifically cited Brzezinski's 1997 book "The Grand Chessboard" that outlined what the US, then as the lone superpower, "should" do. And, as Sachs pointed out, he got it ALL WRONG.
I have that book! I bought all the older copies of Brzezkinski's books I could find a couple of years ago. Now I need to listen to Sachs' address. Thank you.
I wish the entire world read this publication in 2010…Well done framing this in your bit here and in Apophenia Gold
Next up....Reset the Table.
