The Greanville Post —Vol. VII- 2013

Things to consider—

Since early 2011, Obama's been waging proxy war on Syria. Imported death squads masquerade as freedom fighters. The scheme's familiar. It repeats. It reflects US imperialism's dark side. In the 1980s, CIA-recruited mujahideen fighters battled Afghanistan's Soviet occupiers. Ronald Reagan called them "the moral equivalent of our founding fathers." He characterized Contra killers the same way. —Stephen LendmanFor over a century now US ambassadors have acted as fifth columns in the nations they are embedded in, their role chiefly to foster corporate and plutocratic power and coordinate machinations against any truly pro-democratic government.•••••"The dead end identity politics of SF Pride, which sells out a peace hero like Bradley Manning to curry favor with the American ruling class, is what I had in mind. The empire loves your tameness, irrelevance and cowardice, SF Pride. You don’t bother the American ruling class — a five foot two, 105 pound soldier does because he has a conscience and because he didn’t make comfort the guiding principle of his life...." —Randy Shields

WSJ’s disinformer in chief for Latin America: Mary Anastasia O’Grady. Poster girl for anticommunist filth.

by Stephen Lendman

It’s no surprise. He exceeds the worst of George Bush. He abhors democratic values. He defiles rule of law principles. He governs by diktat authority. He’s waging war on humanity. He targets all independent states. He wants puppet pro-US regimes replacing them. Continue reading »

The Southern State Fast Becoming Ayn Rand’s Vision of Paradise

Tennessee lawmakers have elevated hatred for government and disgust for poor people to an art form.

The following article is part of AlterNet’s ongoing series on poverty, Hard Times, USA.

If you’re worried about where America is heading, look no further than Tennessee. Its lush mountains and verdant rolling countryside belie a mean-spirited public policy that only makes sense if you believe deeply in the anti-collectivist, anti-altruist philosophy of Ayn Rand. It’s what you get when you combine hatred for government with disgust for poor people. Continue reading »

I spent years as a political pundit on mainstream TV – at CNN, Fox News and MSNBC. I was outnumbered, outshouted, red-baited and finally terminated. Inside mainstream media I saw that major issues were not only dodged but sometimes not even acknowledged to exist. Continue reading »

Rumsfeld: This man should be facing a Nuremberg war crimes tribunal. Yet he walks free. Why?

Rumsfeld: This unrepentant criminal and his accomplices should be facing a Nuremberg war crimes tribunal. Yet –to America’s shame—he walks free. Why?

On March 19 Donald Rumsfeld, former US “Defense” Secretary and ongoing sociopath and moral leper, celebrated the tenth anniversary of the Iraq War with this tweet: “10 yrs ago began the long, difficult work of liberating 25 mil Iraqis. All who played a role in history deserve our respect & appreciation.” Continue reading »

Killing of “retired” racehorses & racing greyhounds shocks Australia

SPECIAL REPORT
From ANIMAL PEOPLE, January/February 2013:

Horse shot while others look on.

MELBOURNE––Run since 1861 on the first Tuesday of each November, fourteen years longer than the Kentucky Derby, the Melbourne Cup is marketed as “’The race that stops a nation.” What stopped Australian attention most in November 2012, though, may have been undercover video posted online by the Coalition for the Protection of Racehorses, showing injured racehorses being shot dead at the Laverton Knackery west of Melbourne.

Fr. Marcial Maciel, poster boy for the bankruptcy of the Catholic church

Editors’ Note: Shameless inveterate pedophile and protector of pedophiles, morphine abuser, bigamist, abject reactionary and proud operative for the CIA, a notorious prude and a past master of intramural intrigue for personal advancement, Marcial Maciel (left) reunited in one person just about everything that is disgusting in a human being. And yet this individual thrived within the confines of the Catholic bureaucracy. His crimes were well known to the Vatican—including Joseph Ratzinger, and most of today’s top cardinals— but he died in bed, undisturbed by any legal or internal punitive action beyond a belated reprimand and orders of “forced retirement” and only when the Church could hold its silence no more. Why this article now? For one thing because we abhor all organized religions, regarding them as brakes not aids in the moral and intellectual development of humanity. Second, because practically all organized faiths have acted in history for the most part as pillars of the social status quo, no matter how heinous. From slavery to fascism, no established religion has fought significantly or taken the lead against such evils. Third, because a recent documentary by HBO, Alex Gibney’s Maxima Mea Culpa, is likely to reignite the debate among Catholics about the shameful, policies adopted by the Church for centuries (first cases came to light in the 4th century AD) in order to cover up rampant pedophilia in its ranks. To this day, despite numerous revelations, the church’s record is one of denial, obfuscation, and omertà.

Revolutionary Violence vs Institutionalized Violence

"There were two 'Reigns of Terror,' if we could but remember and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passions, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon a thousand persons, the other upon a hundred million; but our shudders are all for the "horrors" of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty and heartbreak? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief terror that we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror - that unspeakable bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves..." —Mark Twain, writing about the French Revolution.
