Professor Alan Dershowitz calls upon the Jewish people to rise up in order to prevent recurrences of past tragedies—to learn the lessons of tragic miscalculations, try hard to anticipate the future, and act to influence it in real time. To assure “never again,” he argues that Jews and their nation-state Israel must undertake preventative and preemptive measures and not rely only on reacting to dangers that are clear and present. Failure to see parallels to past disasters or to take preventive measures increases the likelihood of comparable horrors, currently or in the future.

What if the future is not empty? We are taught that causes precede effects, that the past shapes the present, and that the future is nothing more than an open space waiting to be filled.

Something ahead of us is already at work.

In this edition, Larry Abraham has at last revised, None Dare Call It Conspiracy, and brought it up to date. The events of the last fifteen years have served Larry's thesis quite well. As far as Larry is concerned, the history of 1970-85 has been a kind of giant grab-bag of goodies that reinforce his original thesis. The arguments for the existence of a conspiracy are stronger today than they have ever been, especially when we lay them alongside of what was said and written before.

Wir stecken in einem Systemkonflikt mit autoritären Regimen wie China und Russland.
