Liking the writing already so far

"And some day a future American president may acknowledge that what Clinton did in Iraq, Colombia, Mexico, Yugoslavia and elsewhere was 'wrong' or 'mistaken'. But that future president, even while the words cross his lips, will be doing the 'wrong' thing himself in one corner of the world or another. And for the same 'interests'."

Chapter about all the stuff in 70s/80s the U.S. solely voted against in the UN, for example "anti-racism; condemns apartheid in South Africa", votes 145-1. "Declares that education, work, health care, proper nourishment, national development, etc. are human rights" 135-1. "Assistance to Palestinian people" 112-3 (also Israel and Canada).

Getting Déjà vu reading "a concise history of U.S. global interventions" chapter and reading "narco-terrorism" as the propaganda to invade South American countries. This book was written in 2000. (D) and (R) have both laid the work for what's happening today

Also reading "the blue road to Trump hell" but it's not on Goodreads. It's free and I got it here https://blueroad.info/

Big chapter in progress

Read 2 chapters on the plane. Reminded me of Children of Men

Been into Maya archaeology recently so reading about their genocide by Guatemala (which was something I didn't really know about before) was an unexpected surprise. Some insane quotes from various leaders in this chapter

Lots of history of archaeology this chapter which is ehhh. Don't care that much about development of finding in the 1970s-1990s.
