The always-brilliant Texas blogger Len Hart (the The Existentialist Cowboy) really nails it in his latest piece on the crimes of the CIA. It's an insightful, informative article that reminds us who the world's real terrorists are:
CIA Holocaust Claims Twenty Million Victims
The world's number one terrorist organization, the CIA has committed heinous acts of terrorism abroad, murdering critics of US foreign and domestic policies and has done it on behalf of an increasing tiny, privileged American elite. This elite is a tiny one percent which owns more than the combined wealth the remaining 95% [See: the L-Curve]. On behalf of this tiny, privileged base, the CIA has placed itself above all law and supervision. The CIA's war on the world has claimed an estimated 12 million to 20 million victims, far more than the best estimates attributed to Adolf Hitler's 'Holocaust' of World War II.
A war of plunder waged by the CIA on much of the world has been called the Third World War because many of its victims are chauvinistically, imperialistically, termed "third world". Given the magnitude of these CIA atrocities, we may, indeed, consider this panoply of terrorist acts a world war waged by privilege upon those who are less privileged, a war waged by the rich on the poor, a war of aggression by those who have against those who are without.

Because many confuse our economic system of Capitalism as our form of Government which is supposed to be a Representative Democracy. Money and power trump all other interests. If you don't like that... Don't forget to vote! And might I suggest that we not vote for a Washington insider this time around?
ReplyDeleteWe need to enjoy what we're learning via the Progressive Web while we can. Eventually, the Ruling Elite will tolerate it no more and there will be no doubt be a crackdown on New Media outlets that dare to speak Truth To Power.
ReplyDeleteand bush just vetoed a bill that would ban the CIA from using waterboarding.....

Read "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" by John Perkins and you'll get an insider view into the 5% elite that'll make you want to vomit in anger at the so-called "democracy" we exported from the Del Monte Wars of the 1950's in Central America to Iraqistan today. Oh yeah, watch his videos on youtube if your want the shorthand version of his penance.
