America 2004: A Power But Not Super, by John Stanton-

“A country that lives on myth and illusion, that is at war with itself”

TEMPE, AZ . . . “Veteran reporter and news analyst John Stanton’s predictions for a possible second term of George W. Bush are “not only shocking, but substantiated by the facts on the ground,” writes Karen Kwaitkowski in the Introduction to America 2004: A Power But Not Super, just released by Dandelion Books [www.dandelionbooks.net]. Kwaitkowski, a retired USAF lieutenant colonel, spent her last four-and-a-half years working at the Pentagon.

America 2004: A Power But Not Super [1-893302-26-1] is available at www.dandelionbooks.net [Toll-free orders: 1-800-861-7899] and Olsson’s Books in Arlington VA and in the Washington DC area [703-525-4227]. It will soon be online at Amazon.com and the shelves of other brick and mortar bookstores.

“The future described here is not only imminent; it may be a fait accompli,” states Kawaitkowski. “Both stimulating and irritating, this collection of essays paints a picture of a people, a country that lives on myth and illusion and is at war with itself and the rest of the world.

“Stanton explains how Bush has adroitly fused state, religious (faith-based government) and business interests into one indistinguishable tyrannical mass and his explanation of how this has been accomplished is eye-opening.” [From the Introduction to America 2004, by Karen Kwaitkowski, retired USAF lieutenant colonel, who spent her final four-and-a-half years in uniform working at the Pentagon.]

“In this series of essays, John Stanton lays out that the United States of America is not the nation that you were taught in school it was,” writes Bev Conover, editor of http://www.onlinejournal.com in the Preface to America 2004.

States Conover: “Rather than ever achieving its promise, it has been slowly and inextricably taken over by a relative handful of elitists who can’t see beyond their next power or dollar grab--people who believe that on the weight of their wealth, especially ‘old money,’ they have been imbued with a divine right to rule.”

“A literary virtuoso, John Stanton eloquently takes his deep knowledge of history and connects the dots between the misdeeds of past and present, providing a clear and intelligent warning of fascism in our midst,” writes Sunil K. Sharma, editor of Dissident Voice [http://www.dissidentvoice.org]

John Stanton is a professional in the national security arena. He was also a senior editor and radio talk show host for American Politics magazine in Washington, DC. Stanton has contributed works on US national security policy and American politics to a diverse array of publications including National DEFENSE, Convergence, China Daily, Counterpunch, Outlook India, Security Management, Online Journal, Australian Defence, Defense Week, Journal of Technology Transfer (former editorial board member) and the American Behavioral Scientist. He has commented on US Homeland Security matters on CBS Evening News, ABC, CNN and KPFA (part of the Pacifica Radio Network), as well as other media outlets around the globe.

Stanton is co-author with Wayne Madsen of America’s Nightmare: The Presidency of George Bush II, also published by Dandelion Books.

America 2004 is the first of three other Dandelion titles soon to be released:

Jaded Tasks: Big Oil, Black Ops & Brass Plates, by Wayne Madsen… Recognized internationally for his investigative reportage, Madsen leads the reader through the subterranean labyrinth of multinational oil companies, nebulous black plate firms, international lobbyists, greedy politicians, private military contractors, off-shore companies, and various ne’er-do-wells, some of whom sharpened their teeth in the infamous Iran-contra and Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) scandals. (ISBN 1-893302-79-2)

Tracking Deception: Bush Mid-East Policy, by William A. Cook… “Bill Cook writes with vivid urgency as he excavates the Augean muck of the Bush years, subjecting the president and his gang to an excruciatingly tight close-up, where every flaw, every imperfection, every touch-up is exposed to all who dare to look.”—Alex Cockburn, Counterpunch Editor-in-Chief [from the Introduction] (ISBN 1-893302-71-7)

Progressive Awareness: Critical Thinking, Self-Awareness & Critical Consciousness, by Norman D. Livergood…Leave your thinking to others, and you will wind up with second-hand beliefs and values. Through Progressive Awareness, we can increase our skills for understanding, critical thinking, self-awareness, critical consciousness, and enlightened discernment… and learn how to start thinking for ourselves. (ISBN 1-893302-80-6)
