British Judicial Cowardice on Assange

by
This morning British Judge Venessa Baraitser denied the U.S. government’s extradition request for Julian Assange. That of course was the right thing to do. The problem though is with Baraitser’s reason for the denial: She says that there is a high danger that Assange will commit suicide if he is extradited. That was the justification she used for her decision. OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA What judicial cowardice! Baraitser should have denied the extradition request for the right reason: The U.S. government, specifically the U.S. national-security establishment (i.e., the Pentagon, the CIA, and the NSA) simply wants vengeance for Assange’s disclosing the truth about the evil and immoral actions of the U.S. government. That’s why they have been seeking Assange’s extradition for years — to punish him for committing the dastardly “crime” of disclosing the truth about them. After all, let’s keep something important in mind: ...

Salvador Allende and the JFK Assassination, Part 1

by
On September 11, 1973, Chilean Air Force Hawker Hunter jets attacked the National Palace in the nation’s capital, Santiago. The planes fired missiles into the palace with the aim of assassinating the nation’s democratically elected president, Salvador Allende, who, along with several of his supporters, was defending himself against the attacks on his life. The attack on Allende has profound implications for the U.S. national-security establishment’s assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963, some 10 years prior to the events in Chile. In 1973, Chile had the same type of government that the United States had — a democratic political system and a national-security state form of governmental structure, one characterized by a massive, permanent military-intelligence establishment. In Chile the intelligence-gathering part of the national-security establishment fell under direct military control. In the United States, while the military had its own intelligence-gathering section, control over intelligence gathering fell to the CIA and the NSA and, to a certain ...

Trump Should Now Pardon Snowden and Assange

by
Since even before Donald Trump won the 2016 election, it’s been clear that the American deep state has opposed his presidency. And while Trump has deferred to the Pentagon and the CIA by maintaining their forever wars, foreign military empire, foreign interventionism, coups, and assassinations, it’s also been clear that Trump hasn’t been as obsequious to the national-security establishment as presidents are expected to be. The deep state will not be disappointed with Trump’s departure and will be ecstatic with Joe Biden as president. Now that his term in office is apparently over, Trump can send one parting shot at the national-security establishment and its acolytes as well as to the mainstream press, one that would be based on a pure sense of justice: Issue pardons for Edward Snowden and Julian Assange before Trump walks out the door, preferably now rather than later. Pardons for Snowden and Assange would send a powerful message to ...

They Killed King for the Same Reason They Killed Kennedy

by
Amidst all the anti-Russia brouhaha that has enveloped our nation, we shouldn’t forget that the U.S. national-security establishment — specifically the Pentagon, CIA, and FBI — was convinced that Martin Luther King Jr. was a communist agent who was spearheading a communist takeover of the United States. This occurred during the Cold War, when Americans were made to believe that ...
