- One of the most inspiring things about Julian is that he knew the risks & took action for the benefit of all *humanity* #wikileaks
- Julian's actions are not based in egoism or megalomania - they are based on principles of universal justice brought through truth telling.
- Julian's willingness to take a stand in public is dismissed as "not required" by people who have yet to show anonymity alone could work.
- Daniel Ellsberg is not an egotistical guy either - he could have leaked the Pentagon Papers anonymously & wanted to take a stand for change
- Every person inspired by JA/DE's courage in public leads others to be inspired to at least take action anonymously, if not publicly.
- We must not create idols for worship but we must not denigrate those who make or take risks merely because we know their name or story.
- Nor should we discredit the positive actions of people, merely because they, like all people, are imperfect, flawed or sometimes wrong.
- Nelson Mandela is a great example of a guy who, while imperfect, brought about great change worthy of praise, while having a healthy ego/id.
- So many great people, working for justice are imperfect and so easily people forget the smears & attacks they faced in their struggle.
- Pick someone working for social justice, against unjust wars, against oppressive forces of almost any kind - they are attacked mercilessly.
- These attacks, even if there is a shred of truth to them, must not be used to discredit the positive goals & results of such struggles.
- Point out that some founding fathers of the US were racists and that they were right to fight against British tyranny - we must carry it on
- Nelson Mandela used tactics that we can improve on, as did the US revolutionary forces against the UK - #wikileaks has never used violence
- The fact that #wikileaks has managed to make such an impact by building on the lessons of past struggles is precisely why so many attack it.
- Without a single bullet, #wikileaks has turned elections, exposed murders, shown massive corruptions - it has uncovered and enabled action.
- #wikileaks would have never have mattered without Julian Assange and everyone involved, taking these risks knowingly for a better world.
- Even if you personally dislike Julian, we must not let him hang. Humanity benefits from #wikileaks work. He hasn't hung you, he has helped.
- Some say #wikileaks doesn't need him and that he's a risk to #wikileaks but that is exactly the wrong lesson. We cannot disregard his needs.
- When I spoke at HOPE in Julian's place, I quoted Solzhenitsyn "And mankind's sole salvation lies in everyone making everything his business"
- Solzhenitsyn (continued): "in the people of the East being vitally concerned with what is thought in the West,"
- Solzhenitsyn (continued): "the people of the West vitally concerned with what goes on in the East."
- This is what #wikileaks and Julian Assange have done - they have made it possible for us to do exactly as Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn hoped.
- We now know almost exactly how many people the State has killed by their own hands - when it refuses to be accountable for war and lies.
- We now know the tactics of corruption from Kenya to Iraq. from Libya and Tunisia - from the West, the East, & the Global South.
- Julian's action with #wikileaks was not to end up dead or exiled or famous - his actions create opportunity for all of us to take action.
- When Howard Zinn talked about Democracy, he showed that it is more than simple voting, it is knowledge, culture, discussions, accountability
- When Julian talks about Democracy, he takes action to enable knowledge, culture, to foster discussions, to create avenues for accountability
- We must not forget that Julian has taken steps to fight against the creeping authoritarianism that come from any exploitable govt structure.
- In the "West" we speak of dissidents and activists, such as those in Bahrain without issue - the State department even speaks out for them.
- We must not forget that the people oppressed in Bahrain deserve freedom not because they're in Bahrain but because they are alive & feeling
- All across the world, Julian and many others have enabled and connected struggles to evidence for what they often knew but could not prove.
- What is created next must come from the all of us not wasting our generation. No martyrs and no losing ourselves to be crushed by the State.
- We must remember that the State will lie to us - each state involved in hunting Julian has lied to its people. This is a structural issue.
- The structure of modern governments takes otherwise good people and puts them into impossible situations. A feedback loop we can reset.
- The structure of these governments was an improvement on what came before but we must improve the structure to improve the outcomes.
- Many of the modern governments, partially as a result of scale, have lost people's faith in doing the right thing, in representing us.
- We must remind everyone one of those people in those structures that justice does not merely appear for people in Julian's place.
- How will we do this? How will communicate these goals? How will we communicate our shared points of unity and our goals of justice?
- We will do this with actions. Individual actions and actions taken together as a whole, in the pursuit of those points of unity, those goals
- We must start by letting everyone in a position of power know: what happens to Julian, we believe it will happen to *all* of us eventually.
- What we must also impress on their minds is that if it happens to Julian as suspected, it will happen to them before it happens to all of us
- We must find the names and ranks of all of responsible and refuse to let them off the hook. File lawsuits, block doors, print leaflets.
- We must find those who know, who knew and are silent - from drone assassination to hunting Julian Assange - they must be held to account.
- I have been held by the US Army/ICE/DHS on US soil - denied a lawyer, my property taken, my life threatened - is this the world we want?
- These things do not represent progress towards justice, when police are legally protected about lying - when the military has no limits.
- These issues are concrete examples of tyranny, of injustice, of systems that are structurally flawed.
- These very systems that #wikileaks has sought to inform us about; we must not waste this chance and we must not let the world waste Julian!
- Every single person impacted by the US Grand Jury should speak out about their experiences - we cannot let people say it isn't happening.
- Every single person who can take a stand against the NDAA section 1021 - no indefinite detention without a trial anywhere, ever.
- We must speak out, we must speak loudly, we must write in when we see lies printed by the New York Times or the Washington Post.
- We must not be crushed by fear or of fear of reprisal - we must refuse to be silenced and expose those who pressure and try to harm us.
- When people say that Julian is unreasonably paranoid - we must show them that the US is breaking its own rules, our rules, to pursuit him.
- In the next few years, if we do not fix our structural problems, we will have the technology for total totalitarianism - just waiting for us
- Silence will not protect us - only standing strong and standing together, despite our own misgivings - against injustice, any injustice.
- File an amicus brief in Jewel vs NSA to fight against the tyranny of general warrants. File an amicus brief in the case against sect 1021.
- File a FOIA for anything and everything - create trouble with the truth - hold the bastards accountable for misusing our power against us.
- If you're in London, now is the time for you to occupy the embassy of Ecuador - be eyes for the world, against the tyranny of the UK.
- For every person like Julian or Bradly Manning, there are dozens whose names we do not know - we must support all of them in their struggle.
- Do not despair that we can't win every struggle, we must not be discouraged. The moral action is right even absent a chance of winning.
- Do not despair that some are cowards; show them they are welcome to change their minds and support them in the struggle when they're ready
- This generation can overcome the apathy and the failures of the last few decades. We reject the notion that the State is perfect or honest.
- Julian Assange's fate is in our hands; now is the time for action! Take it before it is too late for him and too late for the rest of us.

Will The United States Ignore Hans Blix On Nukes Again?
If I was American and undecided about Iranian nuclear weapons and waging war on them this interview is a highly intelligent and sympathetic to the United States world view of the matter. Hans Blix is a diplomat of the highest quality. I'm much more aggressive when addressing the US and this is softer, kinder and ultimately more effective analysis. It's the latest thinking on the matter at an international diplomatic level. Essential listening for those who don't follow these important matters.

A Bad Taste Ad Asking Legitimate Questions
I don't believe in party politics or ideology. It's a 20th century failure and intellectually feeble to have a set of ideas that are not your own and if you can't think up your own party rules you probably deserve the government you're getting.
I like the outward interactions of Obama. He comes across as sincere and warm. He's also done a great job of inheriting a bad situation. However he's also broken the important promises that will only hit home when the food distribution system breaks down in the United States so that one's in the wait and see file.
The Church of Obama flock scream I must be a racist and/or conspiracy nut to ask these questions but I know more about three generations of his family than anyone who uses insults to further their defence of the man. The facts remain that on day one of his presidency Obama's first executive order was to conceal his records. It's what you would do if you had something to hide.
Or his handlers. The photo above has his claimed father to the left and Frank Marshall Davis from Hawaii to the right. Reason tells me it's not the guy on the left. I have no hard evidence who it actually is.

CIA & DEA Drug Trafficking In Honduras
Unable to arrest the CIA architects of drug smuggling, the DEA shoot and kill two pregnant women in Honduras thinking this is a good way to control the cocaine addiction of the US.
As usual the guns and arms go to the right wing military who are connected to the drug trade, and the left wing leadership trying to push through land reforms are deposed with the coup leaders getting State Department backing.
An excellent documentary from Al Jazeera. Tough watching in parts.

A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Moon
I'm just listening to Bart Sibrell who made this documentary. His ability to apologise for making Buzz Aldrin punch him in this documentary posted above has motivated me to repost it because I like people who know how to say sorry.
I think what's important with the Moon Landing Hoax is the ability to consider that you've been lied to. You don't have to change your mind, but to be so inflexible as unable to have an open mind with so much evidence is a little unhealthy, although not uncommon.
Personally it's Jay Weidner's front screen projection explanation of lunar photography that does it for me but this is still an excellent and persuasive documentary. The BBC purchased it for airing but never showed it. Understandable really as the whole jig is up when people wake up to this subject.

If you start questioning the moon landings. What else are you going to question?
Here's the interview with Bart Sibrell on Coast To Coast and a fascinating addition with Art Bell in the Philippines interviewing Dr Colin Rourke, a credible interviewee on the subject.
I should add that I've not yet heard an account that explains all the anomalies. Just because I reject NASA's explanation doesn't mean I actually know for sure what went down. It's quite a complex (and often complicated) subject. Some people get very emotional over it.
Update: The Colin Rourke video has been deleted.
General Prayuth Chan-ocha Of The Royal Thai Army
Army boss General Prayuth Chan-ocha has been insistent: in April and May 2010, the military didn't murder anyone. He and his spokesman Colonel Sansern Kaewkamnerd, both deeply involved in those crackdowns, have repeatedly made absurd claims in spite of remarkable visual evidence.
In recent days, both have been on the warpath, sprouting more absurdities and, in Prayuth’s case, threats. AtThe Nation, Prayuth is reported as having required an “apology” from Department of Special Investigation chief Tharit Pengdit “for his agency’s pointing the finger at the Army for the deaths of many people during the unrest…”. The Army wants its impunity to remain in place, and even a half-hearted investigation could threaten that.
Tharit seemed to mumble something about it not being him who was making comments incriminating his buddies in the military.
The Army chief yesterday angrily commented on the remarks by certain DSI officials pointing the blame at the Army. Prayuth demanded that DSI not make statements about the military’s snipers and so on. Prayuth then babbled again: “Who were responsible for these casualties?” … My subordinates did not kill anyone, but they were shot at…”. Forget all of the evidence to the contrary.
Not to be left out, Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva “warned the government of possible legal action for alleged political persecution in connection with the 2010 unrest and riots.” Abhisit seemed to think it a revelation that “certain politicians in power” linked his party to “the deaths of many red-shirt protesters in April and May 2010.” Wow, who would have thought!? Given the efforts at the International Criminal Court, Abhisit is sounding more thanalittle dull on this. We suspect that he just wants to prevent discussion and investigation of his role. If he was still in power, he’d be locking opponents up.
At the Bangkok Post, it is said that the DSI had “revealed earlier that state officers were involved in the deaths of red shirt demonstrators.” Perhaps the Post might have added that this was in legal proceedings. Why Tharit should be apologizing for his officers giving evidence seems only clear to pea brains.
Prayuth is cited: “I am not against anyone but my position needs to be understood because soldiers, police and people were killed and it is clear that officials did not fire at them…”. Further, he “also denied the army had used a sniper to shoot anyone during the crackdowns,…”. That is only clear only if one is deaf, dumb and blind and thinks everyone else is too.

Is Barack Obama Barry Soetoro or just plain B.S?
Seymoursh Hersh tells me two important pieces of information in this interview. First he repeats a line I've come across elsewhere that Obama is enormously different when functioning in the Whitehouse than any other president. Not there, isolated or isolationist and so forth. I've no skin in the fake GOP DEM political divide but I do take an interest in the leadership in so much that I quite like many aspects of Obama and see an authenticity there in public interaction. However his political decisions and this gossip tells me there are other personalities and that fits into some of the most testing CIA dissociative identity disorder conspiracy theories on the internet that regrettably are the most plausible explanation for these various personalities and multi generational association with the CIA. Business International and the Ford Foundation to name just two.
The second piece of information is about the Mei Lei massacre story that Seymour Hersh broke back in the Vietnam war. Did you know the soldiers were killing for four or five hours and stopped for lunch? Back to your freedom fries, corn syrup soda and Patty Poems people.
Oh, one last nugget. Did you know that Maliki of Iraq worked as a secret policman in Syria for 20 years? Small world for the United States and getting smaller by the day.
Have Iran, US & Israel Ever Been Allies
It's true that in the mid eighties (and according to Michael Ruppert from the mid 70's) the US was selling arms to Iran through Israel in the Iran Contra scandal so the answer is yes but from time to time I come across information that says the Iranian theocracy is Western intelligence assets because they keep the facade going. I'm going to tag this under conspiracy theory because unlike straight forward conspiracy/corruption I just don't know what level the game is here. It's worth watching and there's even an appearance from an ONI intelligence officer called Jonathan Pollard who is in solitary after giving information to Israel. What caught my eye is that even Netenyahu can't spring him from prison which tells me he's not as powerful as we all think.
As ever, thoughts and feedback on this one appreciated.
U.S. Training of MEK Terrorists At Site 12 In Nevada Desert
The Mujahideen e-Khalq (MEK) are the terrorists murdering Iranian scientists. How do you feel about that? Is it more important than the VP pick obsessing the United States of Triviality?
Journalist Seymour Hersh has revealed that the Bush administration secretly trained an Iranian opposition group on the State Department's list of foreign terrorists. Hersh reports the U.S. Joint Special Operations Command trained operatives from Mujahideen-e-Khalq, or MEK, at a secret site in Nevada beginning in 2005. According to Hersh, MEK members were trained in intercepting communications, cryptography, weaponry and small unit tactics at the Nevada site up until President Obama took office. The MEK has been listed as a foreign terrorist groups since 1997 and is linked to a number of attacks, spanning from the murders of six U.S. citizens in the 1970s to the recent wave of assassinations targeting Iranian nuclear scientists. Hersh also discusses the role of Israeli intelligence and notes the Obama administration knew about the training, "because they have access to what was going on in the previous administration in this area, in terms of the MEK, in terms of operations inside Iran." His new report for The New Yorker blog, "Our Men in Iran?," comes as nuclear talks are set to resume this week between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency.

John Stockwell On CIA дезинформация Dezinformatsiya Disinformation
CIA & MI5 have representatives on every major media outlet. That's the free world for you. John Stockwell has provided a great contribution to humanity by leaving the CIA and whistleblowing on how it all works.
Disinformation (a direct translation of Russian дезинформация dezinformatsiya) is intentionally false or inaccurate information that is spread deliberately. For this reason, it is synonymous with and sometimes called black propaganda. It is an act of deception and false statements to convince someone of untruth. Disinformation should not be confused with misinformation, information that is unintentionally false.
Unlike traditional propaganda techniques designed to engage emotional support, disinformation is designed to manipulate the audience at the rational level by either discrediting conflicting information or supporting false conclusions. A common disinformation tactic is to mix some truth and observation with false conclusions and lies, or to reveal part of the truth while presenting it as the whole (a limited hangout).
Another technique of concealing facts, or censorship, is also used if the group can affect such control. When channels of information cannot be completely closed, they can be rendered useless by filling them with disinformation, effectively lowering their signal-to-noise ratio and discrediting the opposition by association with many easily disproved false claims.
In espionage or military intelligence, disinformation is the deliberate spreading of false information to mislead an enemy as to one's position or course of action. In politics, disinformation is the deliberate attempt to deflect voter support of an opponent, disseminating false statements of innuendo based on the candidates vulnerabilities as revealed by opposition research. In both cases, it also includes the distortion of true information in such a way as to render it useless.
Disinformation may include distribution of forged documents, manuscripts, and photographs, or spreading malicious rumors and fabricated intelligence. Its techniques may also be found in commerce and government, used to try to undermine the position of a competitor.
A classic example of disinformation occurred during World War II, preceding the Normandy landings, in what would be known as Operation Fortitude. British intelligence convinced the German Armed Forces that a much larger invasion force was about to cross the English Channel from Kent, England.
In reality, the Normandy landings were the main attempt at establishing a beachhead, made easier by the German Command's reluctance to commit its armies. Another act of World War II--era disinformation was Operation Mincemeat, where British intelligence dressed up a corpse, equipped it with fake invasion plans, and floated it out to sea where Axis troops would eventually recover it.
The Cold War made disinformation a recognized military and political tactic. Military disinformation techniques were described by Vladimir Volkoff.
According to senior SVR officer Sergei Tretyakov, the KGB was responsible for creating the entire nuclear winter story to stop the Pershing missiles. Tretyakov says that from 1979 the KGB wanted to prevent the United States from deploying the missiles in Western Europe and that, directed by Yuri Andropov, they distributed disinformation, based on a faked "doomsday report" by the Soviet Academy of Sciences about the effect of nuclear war on climate, to peace groups, the environmental movement and the journal AMBIO. Another successful example of Soviet disinformation was the publication in 1968 of Who's Who in the CIA which was quoted as authoritative in the West until the early 1990s.

Nazis, NASA, Operation Paperclip & The CIA
By all accounts Werner Von Braun was an excellent boss to work for at NASA where he designed Saturn rockets after building the V2 rockets that bombed London. However as you will learn from this documentary he must have known they hung five people a day at the entrance to his work to prevent prisoners sabotaging the development of rockets.

Why Is The United States Funding & Training MEK Terrorists To Destabilize Iran?
This is a rip roaring heated discussion between three people about the MEK or Mujahedin-e Khalq. Glen Greenwald and the former State Dept guy make the guy from the Washington Institute look like the terror revisionist he is but in the end I say the easiest way to know if they're good or not is to see who supports MEK: Tom Ridge, Rudy Giuliani and John Bolton. These are the most venal money grubbing political snakes in the United States. It's not hard.
Since its creation in 1997 the US list of terrorist organisations has included the Iranian group, Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK).
"It is a criminal offence, a felony to have any transactions with this group, let alone to provide material support… if you coordinate advocacy on behalf of that group. There are lots of Muslims sitting in prison…for doing far less..." - Glenn Greenwald, a journalist and former civil rights lawyer |
The group's supporters say they are Iran's democratic opposition, working for a nuclear-free Iran. But critics argue they have a violent history that dates back to the overthrow of Shah Reza Pahlavi.
Most members of the group now live in an Iraqi refugee camp.
Unlike other designated terrorist organisations, the MEK enjoys the support of many high-profile US officials, including Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City mayor; John Bolton, the former US envoy to the UN; James Woolsey, the former CIA director; and Tom Ridge, the former secretary of Homeland Security.
They have travelled around the US and the world, giving speeches advocating the MEK's removal from the US terrorist list.
Below are excerpts from some of the speeches:
Tom Ridge: "They do not belong on the list. They're not a terrorist organisation. Take them off the list".
John Bolton: "I don't think that organisations should be put on that list for political purposes as the MEK was in 1997. I don't think organisations should be kept on that list as the MEK was in 2008 for political purposes. I think the facts should be allowed to fall where they may."
Rudy Giuliani: "We will stand up for them, we are with them as if we are in that camp with them today. Whatever they do to them, they do to us."

"The treasury should get to the bottom of finding out where the money is coming from. If this is being done in coordination with the MEK, a crime has been committed then somebody ought to be convicted...but I don't know if that's the case [here]." - Patrick Clawson, Iran analyst at the Washington Institute |
Now the US Treasury Department has launched an inquiry into whether these officials are being paid by the MEK to speak, which would be a violation of US laws.
So why are so many high-ranking US politicians and former officials openly backing the MEK despite their designation as a terrorist group?
Is it even legal? And why has it taken so long for the US government to ask the same question?
Joining Inside Story Americas with Lisa Fletcher to discuss this are: Glenn Greenwald, a journalist and former civil rights lawyer; Reza Marashi, the research director at the National Iranian American Council; and Patrick Clawson, the research director and Iran analyst at the Washington Institute.

"When the MEK was put on the terrorist list in 1997 by Martin Indyk he said in his book 'we decided to put the MEK as a designated terrorist organisation not because they were pro- or anti-American but because they were [one] without a shadow of a doubt...'" Reza Marashi, research director at the National Iranian American Council
Who is MEK?
- Founded in 1965 by Islamic-Marxist students, the group helped to overthrow the Iranian government in 1979, prompting a clampdown following the revolution.
- Many members are refugees in both Iraq and France.
- Saddam Hussein, the former Iraqi leader, used them for attacks against Iran and the Kurds.
- The US disarmed them following the 2003 invasion of Iraq, which the MEK agreed to in exchange for protection.
- The US turned over MEK refugees to the Iraqi government in 2011.
- The group's leaders continue to live and operate in France.
Operation Paperclip - The CIA & Nazi Laundering
I was listening to Mike Ruppert describing the Nazi CIA connection to CIA drug trafficking yesterday (Klaus Barbie was moved to Boliva) and as this Project Paperclip video turned up buried deep in Youtube due to poor tagging I thought I'd post it. Technically it was the CIA forerunner the OSS (Overseas Strategic Services) who laundered thousands of Nazis into the US or embedded in Europe in the Operation Gladio I posted about the other day.
Strategically it was a huge mistake as short term pragmatism took over long term vision and so the often held observation that Germany lost the war but the Nazis just took it elsewhere is accurate. There's no discussion even today within the United States as to what the long term vision is. There's lots of self congratulatory finest country in the world hollowness but while that comes from the executive while describing the organised crime unit known as the CIA it's hard to give these words any credence whatsoever.
The Constitution worshippers fail to notice that the US has never lived up to its most basic ideals. Freedom for all men. That never was or will be the case and the US is facing impending imperial collapse. This will be a healthy thing for the many people who care about the people in this country.

Conversations With John Judge - Part Two
John Judge's mother was the highest paid female in the Department of Defence at the Pentagon. I consider him a real insider of Washington D.C where he has lived all his life. For this reason it is all the more remarkable he has been able to rise above the simulacrum and diagnose the reality.
This is Part two of the couple of interviews that I commenced a few days ago.
I'm quite picky about who I listen to and so I like them erudite, witty, able to laugh and capable of deeper analysis with interesting commentary.
John Judge is all this and more though his Pentagon attack analysis is provably ludicrous.
James Holmes MKULTRA/Mind Control?
I welcome alternative narratives and analysis to the corporate media who have failed on so many of the leading issues of the day. I've not the time to watch this though as I'm immersed in Iran Contra things so if anyone has any opinions on it I'd appreciate some feedback. I don't accept the mainstream media analysis of the story given the number of indicators for false flag mind control but I'm open minded.
LAPD Mike Ruppert & CIA Drugs Trafficking
Detective Mike Ruppert and his seminal video testimony on CIA drug trafficking. No ordinary detective but an extraordinarily honourable representative of the Law Mike Ruppert blew open the gates on this subject and it cost him a lot. We owe him a lot.
Join The Secret Navy - Enjoy A Little Detention 鬼
This is so gay it's worthy of analysis and comment. The 20 minute presentation by the Office of Naval intelligence practically bleeds fear and cold war paranoia. It tells us that the US Navy really didn't want to get into a proxy war in Korea after destroying and killing a third of the civil population and losing so many American lives in glaring hot summers and brutal winters during the US war on the Korean peninsula.
Which makes you wonder why the US didn't drop a nuke again as they killed more of the innocent civilian population one by one in North Korea?
The over the top explanation for naval manoeuvres that led to a the USS Pueblo being confiscated by North Korea from the US Navy serves to demonstrate what would the American people feel if a North Korean Navy ship was 10 nautical miles off Seal Beach, California?
I'm quite happy to take comments on this one if any of my assumptions are erroneous. I understand cold war ambiguity but this isn't the cold war and the ONI (Office of Naval Intelligence) sit on some of the most needed technology by mankind are incapable of rounding up a few banksters and crooks. Unable to do a real job they persecute people who eschew violence and killing. That's called cowardice where I come from.
Update: The video has been removed but its worth bearing in mind that the ONI were taken out by Mossad and their Neocon buddies on 9/11.

The World's Most Loved Refugee
One of the great developments of the persecution of Julian Assange is how clear the fake left and pseudo socialists stick out like a crumpled rape victim begging for help on an ignored busy high street. So obsessed are the fake left and pseudo socialists to get their gender revenge on Assange they wilfully and concertedly ignore the mountain of evidence defnining the most persecuted individual of the third millennium thus far.
Listen to the noble words of the Ecuador leadership and Foreign ministry in this video statement. Compare them to the weak and sycophant Australian and British governments. Servile to the worlds largest killing machine. The fake left and pseudo socialists screaming for revenge to assuage their own hurt. Damaged individuals. Lost. Crumpled and Broken.
Thank you Ecuador.

How The CIA Massacred Guatamalans For The United Fruit Corporation
The “United fruit company”, now known as “Chiquita brands international” used its connection to John Foster Dulles (secretary of state under Eisenhower), who was at one time on the companies board of directors to overthrow the Guatemalan government and put a dictator in charge in 1954. All under the ruse of a “communist threat”. This was done using the CIA
The exercise was a perfect example of the US government and corporations doing nasty things together for money. They even spread propaganda about a “communist threat” to the American public. this was over land and bananas. Imagine what they would do or have done for oil.

False Accusers Of Rape Endanger Women's Sexual Safety
As a rape survivor I'd like to point out calling#Assange supporters rape apologists is offensive. This is about US detention w/out trial.
— Ethical Girl (@ethicalgirl) August 16, 2012
Some of the most appalling people on the internet at the moment are ignoring that Julian Assange has been framed by the military industrial complex on spurious charges of a sexual nature relating to deception of non use of a prophylactic. This misdemeanour is masquerading in Sweden as a crime so far distant from my use of the language I will neither repeat it or give it any credit.
The perniciousness of distorting language so far from its meaning is that it imposes violent sexual assault on women in the future as the patriarchal elements (like the aforementioned military industrial complex) of society take their hatred out on women. By insisting that Julian be prosecuted I claim you encourage violent sexual crime on women. You're a disgrace and exceedingly selfish.
In this respect I applaud the honesty and courage of the tweet I've published. This comes from compassion and truth; not bitterness and short term point-scoring at the expense of long term safety of women.

There are of course counterarguments and I'm familiar with all of them, not least their propensity to ignore the persecution by the military industrial complex so in the end it is my word against yours. So be it. I'm OK with that. Julian is innocent and decent people know that.

John Judge - Coincidence Theorists & Conspiracy Deniers
A good sense of humour is a rare quality in this field of research and so if you couple that with John Judge's fine mind (and conversational manner) you can learn a lot and open up the brain to different neurons firing on all 8 cylinders. We do share some language points like Coincidence Theorists and Conspiracy Deniers which is fun for me as I can tell he's a kindred language framer from this kind of play with words.
JFK, Information Density & Poppy Bush
One of the challenges of the Bush family (or any CIA intrigue) is their propensity to use similar names, So we have two Prescott Bush's one George HW Bush and one George Bush connected to people like Neil Mallon and then naming a son Neil Mallon Bush. It's hard to keep up so even though I've watched the above clip twice I'd need to watch it a few more times to repeat lucidly. However it's the finest and most plausible case arguing George HW Bush's involvement in the Kennedy killing. Just as I concluded its value it threw in a nugget in the long version embedded below that it's possible Lee Harvey Oswald was an FBI informant on the CIA and that's why they fitted him up. Nobody but George HW Bush knows the full story and he might not be sure of all the details himself now due to old age and a life of deception but this is as good as it gets. The full version is worth spending some time with too.
I should add that I've never really spent that much time on the Kennedy conspiracy before because it's so long ago, but since I've noticed the nexus of criminality around George HW Bush I've had to roll up my sleeves and find the good shit. The above clip and full length documentary below are where it's at.
Update: original videos removed.

George Bush's JFK Assassination Fingerprints
When I think about the criminal genius of George The First as he comes to the end of his days in a wheelchair I'd love to write the only book about him that accurately portrays him as a giant of the 20th and 21st century criminality. Right up to the end he used his son to take the rap for a crime that it's clear he never had the intellectual or cognitive clout to achieve. The 9/11 conspiracy.
I don't necessarily buy the above video photographic evidence as reliable, though we do know he was a CIA operative long before he was made head of the CIA and that he was in Dallas on the day of JFK's assassination and subsequently denied having any recall about the matter. On that little nugget alone it's fair to assume his involvement was of a primary nature.
Recently I've been interested in finding out what he was doing as Ambassador to Beijing because NIxon was in there straight after with Kissinger and it's all too close to ignore.
