If we turn to the war in Kosovo, what do we find? We find the manipulation of the audience's emotions by the mass media.

The technologies of virtual reality are attempting to make us see from beneath, from inside, from behind... as if we were God.

If we look at the Gulf War, the same is also true. Indeed, my work on the logistics of perception and the Gulf War was so accurate that I was even asked to discuss it with high-ranking French military officers. They asked me: 'how is it that you wrote that book in 1984 and now it's happening for real?' My answer was: 'the problem is not mine but yours: you have not been doing your job properly!'

While the United States (US) can view the war as a success, Europe must see it as a failure for it and, in particular, for the institutions of the European Union (EU).

Globalization cannot take shape without the speed of light.

I repeat what I suggest in my book [ Strategie de la deception]. The first deterrence, nuclear deterrence, is presently being superseded by the second deterrence: a type of deterrence based on what I call 'the information bomb' associated with the new weaponry of information and communications technologies.

Speed now illuminates reality whereas light once gave objects of the world their shape.
