| PRISM underlines that the US has almost achieved what the USSR could only dream of: a global security state where every citizen's life is transparent and documented through data. But as this urge to control is taken forwards through state possession of DNA - a human's most basic code - resistance against Washington's rapidly expanding surveillance will also spread across the planet. - Tom Engelhardt (Jun 18, '13) |

With the impending publication of our Going to Tehran: Why the United States Must Come to Terms with the Islamic Republic of Iran, we have decided to move our blog to a new platform, www.GoingtoTehran.com. Race for Iran will remain active as a repository for our previous posts and comments, going all the way back to October 2009, but henceforth our new posts will be published on Going to Tehran. As you will see, it looks and operates very much like Race for Iran, so hopefully the transition will be non-stressful. We thank all who have read, engaged, and supported us on Race for Iran, and look forward to seeing you and new readers who might join us on Going to Tehran. –Flynt Leverett and Hillary Mann Leverett |

| Was hier im Gewand von Wissenschaft daherkommt ist reine Ideologie. http://www.heritage.org/Index/ Wäre sie auf die Vereinigten Staaten beschränkt, könnte dies der Rest der Welt verschmerzen. Das ist jedoch nicht der Fall. Und so besteht die ökonomische Freiheit nicht in der Freiheit souveräner Staaten, die ihren jeweiligen kulturellen Traditionen und spezifischen gesellschaftlichen Bedingungen gemäßen Wirtschaftsmodelle zu entwickeln. Vielmehr werden sie durch die Dominanz des Dollarsystems und seine global wirkenden Institutionen gezwungen, das angelsächsische Modell der „freien Wirtschaft“ zu übernehmen, für das sich der Begriff „Washington Consensus“ eingebürgert hat. Dieses Modell wurde nach 1945 zunächst schleichend und nach dem Vertrag von Maastricht mit zunehmender Beschleunigung von der Europäischen Union übernommen und ist seit 1. Dezember 2009 kodifiziertes Recht. Damit ist die EU päpstlicher als der angelsächsische Papst. |
