How the story broke

On this day in 1968, the My Lai Massacre Took place.

The original official report which appeared on the front page of the New York Times said it was a combat engagement that left 120 Vietcong dead.

In reality over 500 civilians, mostly women and children, were killed in cold blood.

18 months later Seymour Hersh received an anonymous tip and the public finally learned the truth.

The mainstream news media had zero interest in his research. Only a small, independent publication was willing to cover the story.

A little know part of the story is that it was an America helicopter commander who after stumbling on the massacre stopped it by ordering his men to train their weapons on the troops who were committing the atrocities.

But it worked out great for the bankers

Besides being a morally depraved undertaking, the US destroyed its own economy during the Vietnam War.

Working people are still paying the price…but it worked out fine for the bankers.

Rather than letting the war sink the dollar, the bankers figure out how to make make the world captive even though it meant sacrificing its own population economically.

“Necessity is the mother of invention” I guess.

No charges, no trial, no due process

On this day in 1942, the US decided to arrest and imprison all American citizens Japanese ancestry.

There’s legitimate concern about plans for mass internment in the US based on race, religion, or politics.

It’s already happened.

In a mirror of the Nazi’s behavior, any US citizen with as little as 1/16 percentage of Japanese ancestry – including orphaned infants – was subject to mass incarceration.

130,000 mainland Japanese Americans – many full citizens and the children of citizens – were forcibly relocated from their West Coast homes during the spring of 1942.

In Hawaii, where the 150,000-plus Japanese Americans composed over one-third of the population, only 1,200 to 1,800 were interned. The internment is considered to have resulted more from racism than from any security risk posed by Japanese Americans.

It was also a massive land grab.

Over the generations, citizens of Japanese ancestry had built of substantial holdings of prime farmland in the south and urban real estate in cities like San Francisco.

All that property had to be sold at fire sale prices when the owners – many American citizens – were led away at gunpoint to live behind barbed wire. Moneyed insiders made millions.

“Winning the Cold War” by slaughtering civilians

Unreal, but not a surprise.

Trump just made US-El Salvador death squad coordinator Elliott Abrams envoy to Venezuela.

He has blood on his hands in Nicaragua, Guatemala, and Panama too.

A liar for hire.

Nairn has been covering Abrams since the 1990s.

Why the UK and the US support monsters in the Middle East

US support for the monster who run Saudi Arabia is a mystery…and it’s not just about the oil.

Finally, the mystery and many other Middle Eastern mysteries explained.

It’s all about power.

The “crazy” Middle East is only that way because the power players in the US and the UK want it that way.

It makes it easier to steal the resources of the people who live there.

Without US support, the criminals who run Saudi Arabia and other Gulf States would be out.

But we support them and it’s all paid for by US tax payers.

At least half the victims are children

The US-supported holocaust in Yemen.

There are approximately 28 million people in Yemen.

US-supported Saudi Arabian forces have insured that 20 million don’t have access to regular food supplies and nine million are on the verge of famine.

A deliberate policy of genocide.

Paid for by US tax payers.

A surprise attack? Not quite

In the mass media, this issue is barely raised and if it is, it’s raised to dismiss it as a half-baked “conspiracy theory.”

But in serious academic military history circles, the consensus of real historians is that the US not only deliberately provoked the Japanese into the attack on Pear Harbor, they also knew it was coming and let it happen.

The comment by the Project for the New American Century, headed by people like Dick Cheney, that the US needed a “new Pearl Harbor’ takes on new significance in the light of these facts.

Just how cold blooded at the people at the top? Very cold blooded indeed.

Jimmy Dore reads comments

At last, George H.W. Bush is gone.

The destruction he and his criminal family wreaked on the world continues.

When you’re rich and healthy and ambitious and have a lot of support, you can accomplish a lot of evil.

That’s George H.W. Bush’s life in a nutshell.

A lifelong CIA agent, he was friendly with ultra right Cuban drug dealers/assassins.

He appears to have been directly involved in the assassination of John F. Kennedy and was a major operative in the Bay of Pigs attack on Cuba among countless other things.

He essentially controlled the White House from 1980 until 2016 (and he managed to get his Supreme Court pick “Bart” Kavanaugh on the bench under Trump.)

Reagan was senile and left all the work to him.

Bush of course was president for a term.

His errand boy in illegal drug and arms dealing, Bill Clinton, had two terms.

His idiot son, run by Bush lackey Dick Cheney, had two terms.

Obama received a personal visit from father and son early in his presidency and proceeded to operate just like the Bushes: creating a friendly climate for endless war and widespread banking fraud.

Subjugation, termination, reservations…

Joanelle Romero began putting this film together in 1995.

It was originally intended to be a 90 minute film, but due to a lack of funding, this 29 minute version released in 2001 is all that’s been completed so far.

Romero traces direct connections between the Nazi holocaust and the slaughter of millions of Native Americans – at least 19 million by conservative estimates.

The US policy towards Native Americans was studied, praised and emulated by Adolph Hitler. That’s a historical fact. Apartheid leaders in South Africa and dictators in Latin America emulated the US system too.

Subjugation, extermination, reservations…

Someone had to

I am a logistically minded person which is why I instantly knew the “mastermind in a cave” story about 9/11 was utter nonsense.

The buildings were OBVIOUSLY taken down by controlled demolition, but here’s the logistical question:

What American bomb experts would be so psychopathic as to be willing to kill thousands of Americans?

Answer: Even with plenty of cold blooded hit men running around, it’s not going to be possible to assemble an American team – and even attempting to recruit an American team would be dangerous because of the likelihood of one or more recruits blowing the whistle on the crime of the century.

So what do you do?

The answer is pretty simple: bring in outsiders who not only have zero allegiance to Americans, but also have an overwhelming ideological that in their minds overrides any morality.

Who? French? UK? Canadian? German?

No.

None of them would go for it.

But Israeli true believers would.

People who feel that “poor Israel” is under attack and its very survival is at stake and that ANY MEANS to protect it is acceptable.

Israel has a vast pool of such people and it would not be hard to assemble a bomb team who have those beliefs.

Recall: the dust was still swirling when Israel’s prime minister was on TV gloating about how now, at last, the US would understand its pain and join its fight.

Mission accomplished.

If it was a controlled demolition, and apparently it was, then the question is: What monsters could have been hired and relied on to do the actual wiring?
