About This Book

By Amechi Okolo, Ph.D.

This book exposes some classic pervasive and unbelievable American lies that were invented, and have been historically perpetuated, maintained and reinforced by American orthodoxy and by various American gatekeepers that they now seem normal and are fully accepted by American and global audience as truism.

This book has therefore been a particularly difficult one, and has taken me decades to research and write because conventional and traditional knowledge, which most of the lies have become to Americans and the world, are usually difficult to challenge and overthrow, which is the prime objective of this book. This book may therefore seem too lengthy for some but when one is challenging societal conventional wisdom and orthodoxy; one is bound to need extended explanations, substantiation and documentation to make his points.

During the pains and rigors of this book, I often reminded myself of Adam Smith who published a very controversial book in 1776 titled, An Inquiry in the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, which is now popularly known and listed as The Wealth of Nations in books, libraries, etc. The book which is very lengthy has turned out to become an indisputable classic of social sciences, and some rightly call the book an apologia for the emerging capitalism of the eighteenth century. Adam Smith’s book was necessarily lengthy because it needed a lot of time and space to demolish the prevailing mercantilist orthodoxy of his epoch before proposing his own profoundly new theory of wealth of nations, which has guided the world ever since. While Adam Smith’s book was accepted and hailed by some in 1776 as a truly revolutionary work of genius, which it really was, many, who felt threatened by his new theory, because they benefitted from it, seriously opposed and challenged it because it was a very serious, fundamental attack on their means of liveliness since Adam Smith’s new theory threatened to overthrow the prevailing mercantilist orthodoxy that sustained the ruling elites of the era.

This book, The State of the American Mind: Stupor and Pathetic Docility – Volume One with its accompanying Volume Two, challenges some of the pervasive lies about America which have helped to sustain America’s ruling elites. I therefore expect some establishment scholars, pundits and gatekeepers like Pat Buchanan, Ann Coulter, Bill O’Reilly Rush Limbaugh and some others to attack this book. However, I am pre-warning that these books are fully researched and that all challenges are welcomed and will be vigorously defended.

When one writes that the so-called founding fathers are not the real ones, that George Washington was not the first American president, that the enormous invaluable roles Pocahontas in American history and sociology should be officially acknowledged and that she should be officially recognized as America’s founding mother, that most American whites were also brought to the New World in chains as bond-indentures and slaves like blacks, that the American constitution was a racist, fascist, oligopolistic document designed by America’s ruling class and money-bags who were fundamentally shaken and scared by Shays rebellion of 1786-87 to deliberately crafted the constitution to protect and insulate them from common highly exploited and despised Americans and not the great democratic document as we are told. The depiction of the American constitution, has survived some two-hundred, twenty-two years as the longest surviving written constitution on earth, as the great peoples’ democratic document is a height of American fallacies, lies and deception as well as the deification of Abraham Lincoln really is also shown in this book series. Also, when a book challenges and depicts the might medical profession as fundamentally fraudulent and unethical, as this book shows, one must expect serious pushback from their entrenched professors and gatekeepers.

More importantly, I acknowledge that the “founding fathers” were geniuses because they crafted the clearly racist constitution which has historically guided America but that they were not racists, which is why the American system has remained an enigma, almost impossible to understand, yet highly loved and admired by many Americans, including this author, and most people in the world. America is therefore, indisputably the most successful brutal, exploiting, predatory state of the modern times, according to Harold Pinter, the 2005 British Nobel Laureate.

The selection of Obama as the Democratic candidate in 2008 and his convincing victory on November 4 election and his presidency confirm clearly that the American ruling elites, the real American bosses, the money-bags are not racists even while the system they operate and benefit from is fundamentally, structurally, and institutionally racist.

One should therefore write books of such fundamental propositions without expecting some serious oppositions, but I am ready for you all. My only request is that you read this book with an open mind, I am sure that many will be convinced when they do. In spite of all the efforts, rigors and energy I put into it cannot be the last word in this most important debate about America’s basic history and sociology. I therefore invite readers to read the two volumes of this book thoroughly, do their own research and then challenge whatever continues to upset them because I will not engage anyone who has not fully read the books.
