A LETTER FROM THE AUTHOR . . .   MICHAEL COLLINS PIPER P.O. BOX 15278 WASHINGTON, DC 20003 EMAIL: PIPERM2@LYCOS.COM   Dear Reader: When I first become aware in my early years of the nature of the American political process, I mistakenly believed that it was a matter of "Democrat vs. Republican" and then later evolved to thinking that it was really a matter of "liberal vs. conservative." Eventually, I came to realize that those old labels never meant anything at all: that the power of money was what truly dictated political life in America and around the globe. However, it took many years for me to realize that the real battle is actually between Good and Evil and ultimately I came to realize that those who are in command of The Money Power on our planet today -- those who are pushing for a New World Order (a global plantation under their control) -- represent that Evil. This volume, THE NEW BABYLON, is my modest effort, founded on the work of many others, to assemble the evidence demonstrating just that. I cannot convey how much I appreciate the kind words and expressions of encouragement that I continue to receive from my readers.   Best Wishes and God Bless You! MICHAEL COLLINS PIPER
