Here is a rare opportunity to see noted author Chalmers Johnson. Although many have read him, this video is the only complete Chalmers Johnson talk. Evil Empire was delivered to the Fallbrook Democratic Club in June of 2007, during the protest days of the Iraq and Afghanistan War.

Bill Moyers said of Johnson's work, "I read [Nemesis] again this month, and found its message more relevant than ever."

Johnson's overarching theme is that this wave of American Imperialism has been forming since the aftermath of World War II and continues to subvert the Republic with growing momentum. Much of the talk is prophetic, explaining points from his third book in the series on American Imperialism: Nemesis.

Chalmers predicted the 9/11 attack on America in his first book of the series, Blowback, in which he predicted that there would be serious consequences to US policy in the Middle East.

Chalmers Johnson is an author and professor emeritus of the University of California, San Diego. He has written numerous books including, most recently, three examinations of the consequences of American Empire. His book Blowback won a prize in 2001. Sorrows of Empire, 2004, updated the evidence and argument from Blowback for the post-9/11 environment; and Nemesis concludes the trilogy. His book MITI and the Japanese Miracle, on the Japanese Ministry of International Trade and Industry, was the preeminent study of the country’s development. Johnson was also featured in the Eugene Jarecki-directed film Why We Fight. No mere academician, Johnson served in the Korean War and was a consultant for the CIA from 1967–1973.
