From lead pipes in Flint, Michigan to a duplicitous water commission in Medford, Oregon to a secret psychiatric ward at UCLA to the elegant halls of the Palais des Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, At the Breaking Point of History relentlessly details the US government's indifference to the welfare of individuals and to its legal obligations under national and international accords prohibiting human experimentation and biological and chemical weapons. Phelan uncovers shocking machinations, executed at the highest and lowest levels of power, pointing towards a pandemic of as yet unrealized proportions. "It's not the pandemic itself we have to worry about," states Phelan. "It is what has been put in place to ride in on a pandemic." Meticulously documented, there is no "theory" in the conspiracy uncovered here. Phelan takes us through changes in laws originally designed to protect us to the exposure of blatant lies and secret projects, all in service of a future which potentially contains far fewer people. The book cuts across political lines to reveal a unifying agenda behind otherwise disparate political groups. Book jacket.
