Leading Humanity out of the Darkness, Part 1

by
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 The ancient Chinese symbol for “crisis” perfectly depicts the situation currently facing the American people. That symbol was actually composed of two separate symbols. One was the symbol for “danger” and the other was the symbol for “opportunity.” The danger we face as Americans comes in the form of a perfect storm, a storm composed of the U.S. government’s warfare state and the U.S. government’s welfare state. The danger posed by this storm constitutes the greatest threat to the freedom and well-being of the American people in our lifetime, and possibly in the history of our country. Consider, first of all, the warfare state. We now live in a country in which the government wields the power to assassinate people, including its own citizens, After all, that’s what they’re doing in places such as Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Afghanistan, and who knows where else. They’re assassinating people whom the military ...

Giving Passes in the War on Terrorism

There is still no trial date set in the federal case of Luis Posada Carriles, the foreigner whom Venezuela accuses of having planned the terrorist downing of a Cuban civilian airliner in 1976 that killed 73 innocent people, including 24 members of Cubas national fencing team. After Carriles entered the United States in 2005, Venezuela sought his extradition, pursuant to an extradition agreement between the United States and Venezuela. U.S. officials, however, have refused to grant Venezuelas extradition request, which would appear odd given the U.S. governments ardent commitment to waging war on terrorism and, also, given its steadfast insistence that the Taliban government turn over accused terrorist Osama bin Laden, notwithstanding the absence of an extradition agreement between the United States and Afghanistan. What is the reason they give for their refusal to extradite Carriles? They say that Venezuela might torture him. This is not something, U.S. officials ...

Kissinger’s Role in Operation Condor

by
While the Obama administration is now officially confirming its power to assassinate Americans abroad as part of its foreign assassination program, Chilean military dictator Augusto Pinochet’s foreign assassination program has just reared its ugly head in the form of a new revelation regarding former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. First, a bit of background. In 1970 the Chilean people elected a socialist/communist named Salvador Allende president of Chile. U.S. officials were angry and outraged. In their minds, democracy is fine, but only when it results in the election of U.S.-approved rulers. When it doesn’t, something has to be done. For example, in 1951 the people of Iran elected a man named Mohammad Mossadegh as their prime minister. He proceeded to nationalize British oil interests, which angered and outraged British officials. They persuaded the CIA to go into Iran and instigate a coup in 1953, which ousted Mossadegh from power ...
