Hundreds of billions of dollars in laundered drug money flow through Wall Street each year from opium and coca fields maintained by CIA-sponsored warlords and US-backed covert paramilitary violence. America's global dominance depends on a continually turning mill of guns, drugs, oil and money. Oil and natural gas-the fuels that make economic growth possible-are subsidized by American military force and foreign lending.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn reality, 9\/11 and the resulting \"war on terror\" are parts of a massive authoritarian response to an emerging economic crisis of unprecedented scale. Peak Oil-the beginning of the end for our industrial civilization-is driving the elites of American power to implement unthinkably draconian measures of repression, warfare and population control. \u003ci\u003eCrossing the Rubicon\u003c\/i\u003e is more than a story. It is a map of the perilous terrain through which, together and alone, we are all now making our way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael C.
