world war c-second edition coming soon


Here is part of the afterward from World War C (Also Trust, how we lost the war with china) available from Amazon, second edition coming out later this month.

This book may look like political horror fiction or science fiction. In fact, everything in this book has happened.  It was written as speculation, but it has been overtaken by facts.
It is difficult to give all of the examples, but some are in order.  When the US Army contracted for a round of night vision glasses, the specifications ended up in China because the contractors could find no one in the United States to make them.  The Chinese actually told the US Army they would not place hidden algorithms in the computers they were selling.  The advances in Chinese education are legion. The emptying of the clothing, towel, furniture, automotive part and tool manufacturing factories in the US started years before this book was written. In fact, the genesis of this book lies in a local factory that made battery and spark plug wires which closed due to Chinese competition.  In truth there was a time 30 years ago when this was put solidly in front of me.
The corruption of congress is well known, but for those of you who need an example, please see the article In Time magazine May 15, 2000 DONALD L. BARLETT AND JAMES B. STEELE penned a well researched article entitled “Soaked by Congress” which discussed in detail how Congress was paid to enact this legislation.  The lead into this article used the language “Lavished with campaign cash, lawmakers are "reforming" bankruptcy--punishing the downtrodden to catch a few cheats”. 
The election problem, successive, increasingly short term elections, was pointed out to me by a congressman.
