JBR,

As far as I understand "new world order" (nwo)
did not work as imagined. There has not been much
on nwo lately. We are moving into the area of
Titanism here, which would be my next choice
for contribution from the first part of _Die
Schere_. Also Saddam is not alone in this world.
Totalitarian forces still exist. The collapse
of the Soviet Union did not solve the majority
of problems. It might even have increased them
as we moved from duality to a multipolar world.

A few days ago continued directions from Ernst Juenger
stopped. But we still have his prognoses in
_Die Schere_ and elsewhere. And there might still 
be unpublished material which we can hope Klett-
Cotta will take good care of. But maybe you are
right that it is time for anarchs to observe,
listen and analyze. Readers of Ernst Juenger's
work know where to look, how to listen and analyze.
EJ provided the guides, hopefully.

Greetings

Bertil Haggman
