FOREW ORD<br />

When he was pr<strong>of</strong>fered <strong>the</strong> cup <strong>of</strong> hemlock by his fellowcitizens,<br />

Socretes' last words were: "Crito, I owe a cock<br />

to Asclepius; will you remember to pay <strong>the</strong> debt ?" A<br />

gentleman is responsible for his obligations, and this<br />

book is <strong>the</strong> repayment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> efforts <strong>of</strong> three great men<br />

who chose me as <strong>the</strong>ir protege: Ezra Pound, <strong>the</strong><br />

dominant literary figure <strong>of</strong> our time; George Stimpson,<br />

<strong>the</strong> most respected journalist in Washington (<strong>the</strong> title has<br />

been vacant since his death); and H.L. Hunt, whose<br />

spectacular business success blinded <strong>the</strong> public to his<br />

brilliant philosophical achievements. It was H.L. Hunt<br />

who invented <strong>the</strong> term "The Mistaken" for <strong>the</strong> selfcorrupted<br />

members <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> new class who now control<br />

our world -- he might have added that <strong>the</strong>y could also be<br />

described as "The Misshapen", because <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir warped<br />

and perverted sense <strong>of</strong> values.<br />

The present work is also an expression <strong>of</strong> ano<strong>the</strong>r Greek<br />

attitude -- gratitude for life. Michael Lekakis introduced<br />

this astounding Greek attribute to me some thirty years<br />

ago. I describe it as "astounding", because no one today<br />

thinks <strong>of</strong> being grateful for life. Who can conceive <strong>of</strong><br />

"gratitude for life" in an existence <strong>of</strong> eternal and<br />

worldwide slavery imposed upon humanity by <strong>the</strong><br />

minions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> World Order?
