Johnson belongs to the school of critical thinkers (such as former congressman Ron Paul) who are critical of the actions of the American government, without really ever touching on the actual motivations or driving forces behind it. The notion of "blowback", which really means unintended or unforeseen reactions from the enemies of the US, is one that gains much traction in libertarian or paleoconservative circles. It looks at Al-Qaeda, funded to oppose the USSR and turning on the USA, as a prime example of this reaction. However, this analysis is erroneous.
For "blowback" to be a reality, one would have to think the US government...the military and CIA...are naive do gooders who have, through their good or bad actions, opened the American populace up to reprisals at the hands of "our" enemies. This, of course, is absurd. Americans only have one enemy: the Anglo American Zionist banking establishment which controls international finance, western governments, and the deep state permanent bureaucratic control system. This deep state works day and night to spy on, subjugate, destabilize, pillage and rape one foreign country after another, as well as American citizens. Johnson is definitely a critic of this overt behavior, but as I say, he chalks it up to imperial ambition and hubris on behalf of the American state, when in reality the American state is a subsidiary of organized financial elements. When seen through this lens the recent overthrow of Assad in Syria looks clearer. The Wesley Clark warning of the overthrow of 7 countries in 5 years crystallizes. When we realize actions taken by the government and military of the US are not done to benefit Americans, but in ALL cases the deep state and ruling elite, things make more sense.
Johnson never mentions the Greater Israel Project. This project, as Professor Michel Chossudovsky states, "consists in weakening and eventually fracturing neighboring Arab states as part of a US-Israeli expansionist project in the Middle East". To discuss the War on Terror, the Bush administration lies about WMDs, PNAC, the neoconservatives, and a myriad of other elements of post-9/11 American foreign policy and NOT discuss the Greater Israel Project, seems to me gatekeeping.
Most of these books critical of the American empire (really the American/Zionist empire) simply whitewash the main driving force behind American Middle East policy: Zionism and Israel. It's like talking about the New England Patriots and failing to mention Tom Brady. You're omitting the most important part.
Johnson writes quite a bit like Peter Dale Scott. These are very intelligent men, who nevertheless stuff their books with so much information that the books just don't flow well. What you can digest is very useful, but it comes at you fast and furious so don't daydream. It's a shame these intelligent men cannot see that the US empire is a tool of international, malevolent forces intent on controlling the world, its resources, and ultimately enslaving all of humanity in a technocratic tyranny. That aspect is worth exploring in print. I hope I find a book soon that does so.
