Martin Luther King called the U.S. government “the greatest purveyor of violence in the world.” No one can reasonably deny that he was right.

There was also Operation Condor, the international South American kidnapping and assassination ring in which the U.S. national-security establishment played a major role. We don’t know exactly how many people were killed in that operation but estimates go as high as 60,000, with many more imprisoned and ...
A central feature of the Cold War racket was the anti-communist crusade. At the behest of the U.S. national-security establishment, the entire nation became obsessed with the commies, both foreign and domestic. The Reds were coming to get us. They were everywhere. They were in Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, Russia, China, Guatemala, Chile, Indonesia, Brazil, and most everywhere else. ...
