Crimes of the Condor

A few government criminals, of many hundreds, were successfully prosecuted in Argentina as part of the US-led Operation Condor. They were responsible for torture, murders, and other crimes across South America in American-supported dictatorships: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay & Uruguay.

The terror killed 60,000+ people, while 400,000 were arrested, tortured & imprisoned. Of course the Yankee strategists and criminal funders can still be prosecuted, but corruption runs deep. Most politicians are just puppets -- the destructive tools of monstrously dirty capitalists who can live anywhere - or nowhere. Mega-yachts vs. farmers and activist laborers.

Find those truly Guilty... Convicted criminals should imprisoned, if possible, and purged of social honors. The town squares, bridges, and city streets named after these killers should be renamed.

Native Hawaiian Determination

Native Hawaiians are not self-governing.

We are Occupied -
Yankee military took huge tracts of land
Outsiders push agendas & profit scams.

Hawai'i's environment includes Hawaiians
Hawai'i's environment always includes Hawaiians
Hawaiians protect the homeland, our islands.

Don't steal our Land
Don't You ripoff Aloha

Let's celebrate Together
Not Rich tourist Served by Da kine...

Pardon Fascism?

Henry Kissinger was never charged with crimes by the USA.
Dick Cheney still spews deadly poisons.
Richard Nixon was pardoned.

Why no pardon for those helping Americans understand our government?

Ed Snowden    •   Chelsea Manning    •   Julian Assange

The answer's clear:  Our Government is Brutally Corrupt. 

Snowden  •  Manning  •  Assange
Proved Our Empire's Leaders are Dirty
Pardon these Activists NOW

Sport Cheats & Frauds

The USA is now critical of Russia because some of its athletes have used banned performance-enhancing drugs.

But the USA can't speak out against others, because America still shelters the notorious self-admitted cheat Lance Armstrong.

The US Postal Service sponsored Armstrong & his cycling team for many years, paying millions of dollars in support. American beauty Lance has not spent a day in prison for his admitted corruption, drug trafficking, conspiracy, threats, slander and other crimes. The Feds are still slowly seeking to recover some of their misspent millions (link). But Armstrong severely damaged the nation's reputation -- a horrible disappointment & dirty symbol to millions of former fans, a slimy embarrassment to his family and the great state of Texas. Perhaps corrupt political connections & wealth keep him from prison?

Many American cheats & frauds have been apprehended - some belatedly (such as Marion Jones) - but we can imagine many dozens, hundreds, or perhaps thousands have avoided being caught. The USA is clearly a bad judge for others when American Lance Armstrong, the most notorious sport cheat in history, has not been criminally prosecuted and continues to live fat on his ill-gotten gains.

3 Reasons We Need Bernie

Various pundits are criticizing Sen. Bernie Sanders for staying active in the U.S. Presidential race although behind Sec. Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination.

Here are three of many Reasons Sanders Should Continue:

Basic Problems with America
Sanders highlights many fundamental problems with American society, and pledges to fix them. High student tuition harms mobility and makes our social class system more rigid. Limited access to medical care shortens American lives, as does endless overseas warfare. The influence of Big Finance on the political process is corrupting. Sanders makes a strong point that many of these problems, and the reforms he proposes, are being discussed only as long as he's a candidate. If Sanders drops out, corporatists Clinton & Trump and the lapdog corporatist media will ignore such topics.

Long & Winding Road
The U.S. election process is unduly long, painful, and fundamentally unreasonable. A great many mechanisms such as gerrymandering and insider manipulations (such as the superdelegate system) are undemocratic. Voting places are poorly operated. Voters are treated with disdain - and we've become too accustomed to bad treatment by government and social services. The integrity of American democracy is simply an imaginary fiction. The voting machine scandals of Florida (2000) and Ohio (2004) are likely to recur in other states. American politics is dirty and corrupt - look carefully: it's clear we're being suckered. Sanders is drawing attention to the flawed election process, and the more we see, the more chance for true reform... as we sheep awaken.

Clinton Might Collapse
If Clinton were to be elected she'd finish her first term aged 73. She's certain to face strong opposition and frictions throughout her term. Why bother? Half or more of the nation seem to hate her. Even many of her supporters believe she's a corporate shill. Can they pay her enough? Life is short... And who knows about accidents, etc. -- Until the National Convention (and of course afterward) there are hundreds of possible misfortunes that could negatively influence any candidate. Better there's an available alternative, such as Senator Sanders, prepared to take up the torch.

Artikel 48

Few Americans are familiar with the mechanics used by Hitler & the National Socialists to grab and maintain power. Using legal loopholes such as Artikel 48 and Notverordnung (emergency decree), they were able to bypass the rule of law.

Similar processes now exist in the USA. Top officials claim the US legal system is now being dangerously manipulated (link).

US National Security Agency (NSA) whistleblowers, and now a top official from the Department of Defense Inspector General's Office (John Crane) are frighteningly critical.

According to William Binney, former NSA official: "They’re saying, 'We’re doing this to protect you' -- I will tell you that that’s exactly what the Nazis said in Special Order 48 in 1933 – we’re doing this to protect you. And that’s how they got rid of all of their political opponents."

A recent article from The Guardian speaks of the whistleblowers and puts their efforts into perspective:

"These are strong statements – comparing the actions of the US government to Nazi Germany, warning of an emerging “police state” – so it’s worth remembering who made them. The NSA whistleblowers were not leftwing peace nuts. They had spent their professional lives inside the US intelligence apparatus – devoted, they thought, to the protection of the homeland and defence of the constitution. They were political conservatives, highly educated, respectful of evidence, careful with words. And they were saying, on the basis of personal experience, that the US government was being run by people who were willing to break the law and bend the state’s awesome powers to their own ends. They were saying that laws and technologies had secretly been put in place that threatened to overturn the democratic governance Americans took for granted and shrink their liberties to a vanishing point. And they were saying that something needed to be done about all this before it was too late."

Perhaps already TOO LATE? Electing Clinton or Trump can't help.
Think they got your back? You know the answer...

 

Infecting Pigs

The keyword of this week's news is infection. Antibiotic resistance is in the news as "superbugs" (link) and via the U.S. National Microbiome Initiative (link).

It's great there's movement to better recognize the simple mechanics of antibiotic danger. Using broad spectrum medicines "clears the table" for a wholly open playground: where any opportunistic or resistant organisms can reproduce & thrive.

The infecting Pigs in this headline are the drug companies. Our system and their business models do not allow patents and exclusive licensing of naturally-occurring antibacterial agents. Phage biology has been ignored far too long. The upcoming deaths from antibacterial resistance we bring piggishly upon ourselves.
