I claim that understanding the re-religionising of geopolitics over the post-Cold-War period is fundamental to understanding everything else, and that understanding the relationship between the various forms of zionism and the evolving rationales for US imperialism is central to this. This subject is not relevant to any of Glenn's topics on the level of detail, but it's relevant to all of them in terms of background.
I don't need to go over the political economy of the military-industrial establishment, although I have given a link to the web page of Jonathan Nitzan and Shimshon Bichler a hew times, because I think they are the best on this http://bnarchives.yorku.ca/
But my speciality, the area in which I feel I have something approaching unique insights, is this matter of religio political psychology, and that's why I keep returning to it. I think the reason I have these "something approaching unique insights" is also the reason I am so miserable : it's a thwarted zionist romance of my own, thwarted because of my stubborn irreligiosity, which prevents me from "converting to Judaism" and jumping onto the back of the zionist bus in that manner. If I had been born Jewish, I would have merged into the general run of left zionists without any particular controversies, I suppose.
