Andrew Gavin Marshall
Andrew Gavin Marshall is an independent researcher and writer, covering a broad range of issues – economic, political, social, cultural, and historical – in an effort to bring a critical perspective to world events. He has authored dozens of articles, essays, and reports online and for various magazines and other publications, and is regularly interviewed by radio and television programs on a number of different issues. He recently co-edited a book with Professor Michel Chossudovsky entitled, “The Global Economic Crisis: The Great Depression of the XXI Century,” a collection of essays by a number of authors and researchers presenting a more critical and nuanced examination of the economic crisis that began in 2008.
Some major areas of research: the global economic crisis, banking/central banking, globalization, war, empire, the Middle East, Africa, European Union, North American integration, intelligence, think tanks, philanthropic foundations, education, NGOs, police state, social engineering, etc.
When approaching any subject, the aim and method is the same: to analyze the structures and nature of power, how it is built and used, by whom, for what purpose, and what the historical conditions are that led to its present state. For every subject, the historical context is essential in order to assess the current nature of the subject or concept in question, and to thus determine the direction it is taking. The focus is not simply political, but economic, social, and cultural, seeking to bring as many concepts and perspectives together in order to provide a wider understanding.
One of the main principles upon which the research is done is contrary to the academic methods of ‘education’ in separating types of knowledge into different spheres, producing so-called “experts” on different subjects: Political Science, Economics, Sociology, etc. Rather, the separation of knowledge is an affront to the notion of ‘knowledge’ itself, for it fails to acknowledge that all the various spheres of the human social world interact and intertwine. Thus, seeking to understand one sphere – say ‘Politics’ – while failing to account for the social, economic, and cultural factors that relate to and interact with the political world, is a failure to understand the nature of ‘politics’, itself.
The aim of the research and writing here is to counter linear, compartmentalized systems of knowledge and thinking; to provide a new and more comprehensive examination of ideas, events, and issues in our world.

A great place where the claims on themes like globalization and police state have academic foundation. Visit this often. Nice to see that and Andrew whose like my crush after watching his interviews on youtube
Posted by Jasmine | July 15, 2011, 1:48 amI greatly appreciate your most recent article about Libya. People like Juan Cole and even Amy Goodman fail to reveal all of their personal connections.
Posted by Doug Page | August 31, 2011, 8:30 amThank you for dedicating yourself to the important work of exposing the NWO. The so called “educated” public by and large has never come close to knowing the truth. I agree with Alex Jones that they are in a ‘trance’. This will change over time as the hubris of the elite eclipses their long preparations for global control.
