Global War on Terrorism: Imperialism's New Mythology
The U.S mainstream media is a major tool in the hands of the power elite; it constructs images of reality that are subsequently widely believed in by the masses, images whose definitions ensure that inequality will continue without revolt or redress. A mythology, garbed in master symbols that contours perceptions of available life-chances regardless of objective fact, it determines relationships between races, ethnicities and nationalities; it makes people chase dreams that most can never attain. So powerful are its effects (as are often revealed by polls after major events about which most people’s only source of information is this media or people exposed to the media), that realities of people’s own lives, the objective facts that confront them on a daily basis, become subordinate to its contrived images

LIVING BY THE SWORD: The War Addiction of America's Elite
By placing facts within their institutional context, this book uncovers the intricate connections between the military/economic alliance in America and the resulting globalization of poverty. Using the depth of the sociological imagination, the author provides a picture of reality that is often overlooked by journalists and commentators who routinely report facts detached from their sociological roots.
“M. Asadi's essay on the United States war in Iraq is both passionate in
its commitment to human rights and rich in its use of data. It draws
skillfully on C. Wright Mills and other scholars to paint a devastating
portrait of the war, but also to reflect profoundly on the policies of the
United States and their human consequences all over the world.”

IN THE SHADOW OF EMPIRE: Life & Death under U.S. Domination
We have studied and analyzed the problems. Those problems have easy solutions. Why they are not tried is because of monopoly of power and wealth at the command of vested interests.This does not mean that alternatives, both as solution and voice, do not exist. It means that the alternatives are choked to death before being tried because the few that dominate the system have too much to lose, even as the very existence of humanity is at stake, about which they do not care.
Capitalism’s suicide bombers worship profits and are willing to kill and be killed for them; they are the “higher terrorists” that operate on much larger scales than the bogeymen, the petty terrorists they claim to fight. In trying to kill the world for short-term profits, they eventually end up killing themselves and the earth. For the sake of humanity, they must be stopped and their policies challenged on every forum and upon every occasion
