Jerry Fresia

Eind augustus interviewde ik in Italie de Amerikaanse schilder Jerry Fresia, auteur van het boek: Toward an American Revolution. Exposing the Constitution & Other Illusions.

Fresia is een voormalige inlichtingenofficier van de Amerikaanse Luchtmacht. Hij woont, werkt en en geeft schilderlessen in Lenno. Bijna twintig jaar geleden schreef hij dat het Amerikaans terrorisme geen ´deviation from Constitutional principles [is] but rather the logical consequence of a system which protects the freedom of a handful of Americans to control a good deal of the earth´s resources and, correspondingly, the lives of millions of people scattered around the globe... We live in an undemocratic system that is a major sourvce of terror and repression, both at home and around the world. In large measure this is due to the tremendous concentration of unchecked corporate power.´ De Amerikaanse historicus Howard Zinn schreef over Fresia´s boek: 'Toward an American Revolution is a refreshingly bold look at the Constitution and early American history. It is rich with insight and makes astute connections between past and present. An important work for our time.´
