Product Description From Amazon.com:
"The war in Iraq, Afghanistan, continual conflict in the Middle
East, and the global war on terrorism, are all intertwined in a
greater battle of global conflict: World War III. However, the fogs
that have been created to hide these conflicts from public opinion are
obstructing a clear view of reality. Fogs prevent the public from
accurately seeing this war unfold and from taking action in the
government to help prevent, this now, inevitable conflict. This work
unveils that the media and government are two thickening fogs that
continue to obscure the reality of what is occurring. Media does
little to help develop an in-depth understanding of the world. In turn
this creates limited interest in reporting of foreign affairs among
the market sectors they strive to reach. The government has focused on
winning the hearts and minds of the American people in order to drive
the cause of the war on terrorism. Yet, this war has unleashed greater
struggles, which citizens have covertly been blinded to. While these
global conflicts are seemingly isolated, the authors illustrate that
they are, in fact, closely linked with similar underlying causes. The
fogs of war and peace need to lessen so the American people can be
accurately informed and global leaders are able to strive for better
policies in order to bring World War III to an end. Seemingly
unrelated conflicts raging in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Middle East, and
other global areas, are in fact, closely linked, as part of a greater
battle, World War III. In the midst of conflict, this work delves into
factors of World War III, and claims that we have already begun this
new war. However, in an age where the average American citizen is
uninformed on international foreign policy and conflict, the two fogs
of government and media, are only contributing to this miseducation.
These fogs have never been thicker in obscuring the reality of what is
occurring. The fog that is media, explains what is occurring in
cryptic sound bites by funneling certain information to the American
people. Government, the second fog, affects citizens by either
withholding or distorting information and opponents, and expands a
great effort to deceive and distort current events. In turn it tries
to win the hearts of the people by explaining that this is the only
way to obtain the idea of peace. This work explains that through the
distorted reality of the fogs, we are now in a stage of
disinformation, misinformation, and noninformation, which block the
view of citizens from what is truly happening and how to deal with it.
It is the first analytical model that clearly examines the fogs of war
and peace and how new perspectives must been found. The authors offer
a model to help inform readers to better understand World War III,
while illuminating the causes, nature, and dynamics of the global
concern. In turn, they offer new policy directions for political
leaders in America, Israel, and Europe and hope to bring to light
these fogs of destruction." |
