… & Martin Luther King, Robert Kennedy, the Warren commission "suicide" roll and pretty much anybody of significance that stood up to the FBI, CIA, NSA, GOP and asked to be counted… snuffed !

And let’s not forget the bloody trail our USA foreign policy has left all over the world since WW2…. Ask John Perkins ! www.democracynow.org

America is one sad sick puppy indeed !

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It is simply too painful to acknowledge -- even to ourselves -- that we've been so credulous“ - Carl Sagan

"Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day" - Theodore Roosevelt, April 19, 1906

Now wait a minute, do you question the data our darling CIA provides us ?

They have been so good at empire building …

And was such a great help on 9-11 too ;)

Come on Robert, don’t be a snob, talk to the rabble, communicate we us poor souls who haven’t still figured out who our real masters are… apart from our spouses & mothers ;)

At least point us in the general direction of eternal wisdom & truth for indeed Ignorance is the downfall of all cultures and we are about to hit bottom.

"The Matrix is a system, Neo, and that system is our enemy. When you are inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters, the very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are part of that system and that makes them our enemies. You have to understand most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many are so...hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it." - Morpheus in The Matrix

“When will the American people actually vote to give to the world more than bombs and missiles, sweatshops, dubious science, frankenfood, poverty and misery?” - Cynthia McKinney

What cracks me up these days is the outrage about Tibet. As if America’s moral ground for judging China existed ;)

Two imperialist genocidal wars going on, choosing Bio-fuel instead of feeding women & children of the poorest nations & the local extermination of the middle class; seems to me like one should take care of it’s own backyard before bitching the neighbor…

Just as in… Before you export democracy, try having it at home !

Or what about this celebration of 40 years of civil rights…

· In 1968, African Americans were making about fifty-four cents on every dollar that white Americans were making. And in 2005, African Americans were only making fifty-seven cents on every dollar that white Americans were making. So over those four decades, African Americans had only increased by three cents. And at this rate, it would take 537 years for African Americans to reach income parity.

Anywho…

Check your own backyard indeed…

EXECUTIVE RESUME
http://whitenoise.webnode.com/

Indeed, it is getting more tragic by the minute. What does a felon, have to do to bet his ass put in jail in America if he’s not black ? Stealing 2 elections, gross negligence on 9-11 (at least ;), destroying the constitution, practicing torture like a sport, kidnappings, war crimes…shall I go on ? This is absolutely amazing, what happened to the land of the not so free and home of the just brave enough to attack defenseless women & children ???!!!

The whole executive branch belongs in jail but what we’ll get is W making frat jokes as a baseball analysis… Tragic !

Congress Making Millions Off Iraq War / Lawmakers heavily invested in defense *

WASHINGTON - Members of Congress have as much as $196 million collectively invested in companies doing business with the Defense Department, earning millions since the onset of the Iraq war, according to a study by a nonpartisan research group.

The study found that more Republicans than Democrats hold stock in defense companies, but that the Democrats who are invested had significantly more money at stake. In 2006, for example, Democrats held at least $3.7 million in military-related investments, compared to Republican investments of $577,500.

Overall, 151 members hold investments worth $78.7 million to $195.5 million in companies that receive defense contracts that are worth at least $5 million. These investments earned them anywhere between $15.8 million and $62 million between 2004 and 2006, the center concludes.

As long as people believe that our so-called leaders are well-intentioned, the leaders can, and do, get away with murder. Literally.

"War: a massacre of people who don't know each other for the profit of people who know each other but don't massacre each other." - Paul Valery

OR...

"War alone brings up to their highest tension all human energies and imposes the stamp of nobility upon the peoples who have the courage to make it." - Benito Mussolini

Either indeed...

"Either man is obsolete or war is. War is the ultimate tool of politics. Political leaders look out only for their own side. Politicians are always realistically maneuvering for the next election. They are obsolete as fundamental problem-solvers." -- R. Buckminster Fuller

Ain’t going to argue about the war monger’s severe lack of philosophical graces ;)

Check this little ditty...

"A SUBMARINE TO FIGHT AL-QUAIDA’S NAVY " - A trillion dollars here, a trillion dollars there, and soon you’re talking real money. But when it comes to reporting on what the Bush war legacy has cost American taxpayers, the media have been shockingly indifferent to the highest run-up in military spending since World War II. By Robert Scheer

" He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable an ignorable war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder." - Albert Einstein

The soul & body acquisition process is very well documented in John Perkin’s "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" indeed.

Now as for drug running; I always thought , since the Iran/Contra debacle and Noreiga tragic farce that the CIA was used to (consciously or not) go after the competition of this shadowy intern drug smuggling operation.

Originally used to finance illegal covert actions I’d be surprised that by now this is not a strictly for profit outfit with the interesting side line of destroying black communities & providing and ever growing carceral population generously created for the prison industry. Bigger than China’s BTW ;)

"The civilized have created the wretched, quite coldly and deliberately, and do not intend to change the status quo; are responsible for their slaughter and enslavement; rain down bombs on defenseless children whenever and wherever they decide that their 'vital interests' are menaced, and think nothing of torturing a man to death: these people are not to be taken seriously when they speak of the 'sanctity' of human life, or the conscience' of the civilized world." - James Baldwin

"America is the first empire to go from barbarity to decadence without going through civilization" - Oscar Wilde

Just found this database that seems to be quite thorough… www.namebase.org

When Noriega was delivering Medellin cartel competitors to the DEA, he may not have known that he was the latest in a long line of officials performing such a function. Alfred McCoy, professor of history at the University of Wisconsin, recounts how Hong Kong law enforcement similarly protected their favored heroin dealers in the 1970s, as did the new York branch of the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs in the 1960s.

The symbiotic relationship between drug merchants, and intelligence and law enforcement, is examined in detail by McCoy. From Southeast Asia, to Central America, to Afghanistan, the trail of CIA covert action and drug smuggling runs parallel. McCoy also examines the banks that preceded BCCI as havens for tax evaders and criminals protected from prosecution because they banked with covert operators, and pinpoints critical historical periods when the narcotics trade might have been stopped had it not been for U.S. intelligence agencies.

There are two versions of this book, the classic first edition (1973), and an expanded second edition (1991) that includes Afghanistan. - Lanny Sinkin

I thought the narrative you are tracing was a "Larouche thang"...

Let me assimilate the material of both last entries... I'll be back ;)

Fascinating line of thought indeed…

I know about Echelon which is pretty scary by itself. Choice Point is another dirty little GOP outfit that I covered in my "Be Careful What You Say 2" clip. CAPPSII was another one. Bill Scannell has been following that track at… www.dontspyonus.com

Spooks, sneaks & snitches are having a field day since 9-11.

What you guys are talking about seems even more insidious and dangerous… As Greg Palast pointed out (and it applies admirably to Spitzer… "This is not the Mounties who get their man, this is the Mounties who get the political targets for their man ! "

Mmmm... tasty, should fit nicely with the concrete golashes they’ll fit you in if you keep on thinking for yourself & questioning authority... now behave will ya, BIG BRO is watching and we’ve got a war to win !

Just wondering, what do make of this ?

Actually, the French control most of the water ;)

L’argent, c’est le sang des pauvres. – Léon Bloy

You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, Mr. Beale, and I won't have it !! Is that clear? !

There is only one holistic system of systems, one vast and immane, interwoven, interacting, multivariate, multi-national dominion of dollars. Petro-dollars, electro-dollars, multi-dollars, Reichmarks, rins, rubles, pounds, and shekels.

Am I getting through to you, Mr. Beale?

You get up on your little twenty-one inch screen and howl about America and democracy. There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM and ITT and AT&T and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today.

"A people living under the perpetual menace of war and invasion is very easy to govern. It demands no social reforms. It does not haggle over expenditures for armaments and military equipment. It pays without discussion, it ruins itself, and that is an excellent thing for the syndicates of financiers and manufacturers for whom patriotic terrors are an abundant source of gain" - Anatole France

"Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty" - Howard Zinn

A country of laws!!!!!

I thought the supreme court made a joke of that concept when it handed power over to King George who then proceeded to ransack what was left of it ;)"The tyrant, who in order to hold his power, suppresses every superiority, does away with good men, forbids education and light, controls every movement of the citizens and, keeping them under a perpetual servitude, wants them to grow accustomed to baseness and cowardice, has his spies everywhere to listen to what is said in the meetings, and spreads dissension and calumny among the citizens and impoverishes them, is obliged to make war in order to keep his subjects occupied and impose on them permanent need of a chief." - Aristotle

GO,ROBERT,GO !

Now, I just hope that you are clean as a whistle for when one is dealing with the most mean, children eating souls on earth (ok, the talibans are standing close by ;)one must be aware that they will come for you with all they've got and drop a Spitzer on ya !

I could live with that ;)

I would also add all of the current executive branch of this administration to the proceedings…

Start by sending Bush & Cheney to Vermont for a laugh…

VERMONT TOWNS BACK INDICTMENT OF BUSH & CHENEY / In Vermont, voters in the towns of Brattleboro and Marlboro approved measures Tuesday calling for the indictment of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for crimes against the Constitution. The symbolic votes instruct the police department in each town to arrest Bush and Cheney or to extradite them for prosecution elsewhere if they ever step foot in the towns.

Then send Rumsfeld to Germany & have him call Kissenger for help...

Rumsfeld Sued for Alleged War Crimes www.alternet.org

Is Henry Kissinger a War Criminal? www.commondreams.org

Now that would make my day ;)

"America's hegemonic hubris is a sickness. A country that tolerates a war criminal while he openly plans to attack yet another country is definitely not a light unto the world. " - Paul Craig Roberts

Spitzer story is VERY REVEALING indeed !

I instinctively knew something was fishy…

"This is not the Mounties who get their man, this is the Mounties who get the political targets for their man ! " – Greg Palast

Please go at www.gregpalast.com & listen to his interview about it…

For those wondering what Choice Point is, it’s the GOP’s own private FBI, NSA & CIA all raped up in an illegal outfit that WE THE PEOPLE are paying for… Check my clip " Be Careful What You Say 2" for a complete lowdown…

Now apart from the usual washington filth…

America’s affair with SEX is sooo hypocritical it is downright laughable.

Note that this prosecution was managed with staffers from the Public Integrity Section at the Department of Justice. This section is now at the center of a major scandal concerning politically directed prosecutions. During the Bush Administration, his Justice Department has opened 5.6 cases against Democrats for every one involving a Republican.

Is there nothing to be learned of Gov. Siegelman ordeal ????

The GOP really can do anything it dam pleases with America ! Thank you Karl Rove for making it all business as usual !

And of course…
The U.S. news media can't get enough of the prostitution scandal that brought down New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, but the same media won't give a minute to a serious debate over the impeachable war crimes of George W. Bush & crew…

What else is new ?

That's why in an effort of equal opportunity I’ve just produced the clip DEM KILLING FLOOR for democrats have this aura of leftism & peacenick hope & change hoopla that makes me cringe no bound when put to the light of straight facts.

Meanwhile…

"There exists a shadowy Government with its own Air Force, its own Navy, its own fundraising mechanism, and the ability to pursue its own ideas of national interest, free from all checks and balances, and free from the law itself." - Senator Daniel K. Inouye

Indeed, not only are they traitors to their country, like in the Valerie Plame affair, but to humanity as a whole as women & child cold blooded killers... all in the nam of democracy & justice for all of course ;)

OR…

"It makes no difference who you vote for - the two parties are really one party representing four percent of the people" - Gore Vidal

Let alone the fact that most of the voting will be done on Diebold & friends machines, exposing American democracy as the sinister & cynical farce it has become under the proto-fascism Bush/Cheney junta.

"Somewhere, somehow people have to win a victory over corporate control and corporate greed." - Congressman Dennis Kucinich

Will oblige the democrats with the same soon ;)

While the civilian economy is shrinking, the military sector is expanding. The Republicans, are pledged to an even bigger U.S. military. It's good for business, if your part of the growing group of Americans whose livelihoods, and claim to some sort of social status, depend on the continuation of our foreign policy of perpetual war and civilian abuse.

And most of America is left in the dark about it all ! Hey, what else is new ?

What seems a very terrifying aspect of our society is the detachment with which sane, reasonable, sensible people can observe such events. I think that’s more terrifying than the occasional Hitler or LeMay or other that crops up. These people would not be able to operate were it not for this apathy and equanimity. I think that it’s in some sense the sane and reasonable and tolerant people who share a very serious burden of guilt that they very easily throw on the shoulders of others who seem more extreme and more violent. - NOAM CHOMSKY
