All of the lies are still being
propounded by the U.S. regime and remain fully enforced by suppression of the
truth about these matters.
That’s being done in all news-media except
a few of
the non-mainstream ones.
So: this is about an actual
Western samizdat - the West’s equivalent to the former Soviet Union’s
systematic, and equally pervasive, truth-suppression, to fool the public into
thinking that the Government represents them, no matter how much it does not.
(The chief trick in this regard is to fool
them into thinking that since there is more than one political party, one of
them will be “good,” even though the fact may actually be that each of the
parties represents simply a different faction of a psychopathically evil
aristocracy. After all: each party lied and supported invading Iraq in 2003,
Libya in 2011, and Syria constantly; and no party acknowledges that the 2014
regime-change in Ukraine was a U.S. coup instead of a domestic Ukrainian
democratic revolution. On such important matters, they all lie, and in
basically the same ways. These lies are bipartisan, even though most
of the other political lies are heavily partisan.)
Right
now, Julian Assange is rotting to death inside Britain’s
equivalent to the U.S. regime’s Guantanamo Bay prison, which is Belmarsh
Prison, in London. As the CIA-edited and written Wikipedia’s article on Belmarsh Prison
retrospectively admits, “Between
2001 and 2002, Belmarsh Prison was used to detain a number of people
indefinitely without charge or trial under the provisions of the Part 4 of the
Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001, leading it to be called the
‘British version of Guantanamo Bay’.” However, only because of
the case of Julian Assange is it now publicly known that this characterization
of that prison is — at least for him — equally true today. And
Assange is, indeed, being held there “indefinitely without charge or trial,”
even after his having previously been held in various other forms of
confinement, ever since at least 12 April 2012, when — being then ‘temporarily’
under house-arrest in Norfolk England, while awaiting trial on a manufactured
rape-charge against him which was reluctantly abandoned by the Government only
when the alleged victim refused to testify against him — Assange broadcast an
interview for RT, Russian Television, an interview of the head of Lebanon’s
Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah. The U.S.-and-allied regimes’
billionaires-owned-and-controlled ‘news’-media condemned Assange for this
interview, because it enabled whomever still had an open mind, amongst the
Western public, to hear from one of those billionares’ destruction-targets
(Nasrallah), and for Assange’s doing this on the TV-news network of the main country
that America’s billionaires are especially trying to conquer, which is (and
since 26 July 1945 has consistently been) Russia. The great
then-independent investigative journalist Glenn Greenwald headlined about that
interview, at Salon on 18 April 2012, “Attacks on RT and Assange reveal much about the critics: Those
who pretend to engage in adversarial journalism will invariably hate those who
actually do it.” How true that was, and unfortunately still is! And Assange
himself is the best example of it. Greenwald wrote:
Let’s examine the unstated premises at
work here. There is apparently a rule that says it’s perfectly OK for a
journalist to work for a media outlet owned and controlled by a weapons
manufacturer(GE/NBC/MSNBC), or by the U.S. and British governments
(BBC/Stars & Stripes/Voice of America), or by Rupert Murdoch and Saudi Prince Al-Waleed Bin Talal (Wall St. Journal/Fox News), or by a banking corporation
with long-standing ties to right-wing governments (Politico), or by for-profit corporations whose profits
depend upon staying in the good graces of the U.S. government (Kaplan/The
Washington Post), or by loyalists to one of the two major
political parties (National Review/TPM/countless others), but it’s an
intrinsic violation of journalistic integrity to work for a media outlet owned
by the Russian government. Where did that rule come from?
But
from ‘temporary’ house-arrest there, Assange was allowed asylum by Ecuador’s
progressive President Rafael Correa on 20 June 2012, to stay in London’s Ecuadoran Embassy, so
as not to be seized by the UK regime to be sent to prison and probable
death-without-trial in the U.S. To Correa’s shock, it turned out that Correa’s
successor, Vice President Lenin Moreno, was actually a U.S. agent, who promptly
forced Assange out of the Embassy, into Belmarsh prison, to die there or else become
extradited to die in a U.S. prison, also without trial.
And,
for what, then, is Assange being imprisoned, and perhaps murdered? He divulged
government secrets that should never even have been secrets! He
raised the blanket of lies, which covers over these actually dictatorial
clandestine international operations. He exposed these evil imperialistic
operations, which are hidden behind (and under) that blanket of imperialists’
lies. For this, he is being martyred — a martyr for democracy, where there is
no actual democracy (but only those lies).
Here
is an example:
On
December 29th, I headlined “Further Proof: U.S., UK, & France Committed War-Crime on 14
April 2018” and reported highlights of the latest Wikileaks
document-dumps regarding a U.S.-UK-French operation to cover-up (via their
control over the OPCW) their having committed an international war-crime when
they had fired 105 missiles against Syria on 14 April 2018, which was
done allegedly to punish Syria
for having perpetrated a gas-attack in Douma seven days before — except that
there hadn’t been any such gas-attack, but the OPCW simply lied and said that
there might have been one, and that the Syrian Government might have done it!
That’s playing
the public for suckers.
Back
on 3 November 2019, Fox News bannered “Fox News Poll: Bipartisan majorities want some U.S. troops to
stay in Syria” and reported that when citing ISIS as America’s
enemy that must be defeated, 69% of U.S. respondents wanted U.S. troops
to stay in Syria. But
when did ISIS ever constitute a threat to U.S. national security? And under
what international law is any U.S. soldier, who is inside Syria, anything other
than an invader there? The
answer, to both of these questions, is obviously “never” and “none.” But if you
are an investor in Lockheed Martin, don’t you want Americans to be suckers
about both? And, so, they are. People such as
Julian Assange don’t want the public anywhere to be lied-to. Anyone who is in
the propaganda-business — serving companies such as Lockheed Martin — wants the
public to be suckers.
This
is the way the free market actually works. It works by lying, and in such a
country the Government serves the people who have the money, and not the people
who don’t. The people who don’t have the money are supposed to be
lied-to. And, so, they are. But this is not democracy.
Democracy, in fact,
is impossible if the public are predominantly deceived.
If the public are
predominantly deceived, then the people who do the deceiving will be the dictators
there. And if a country has dictators, then it’s no democracy. In a totally
free market, only the people with the most money will have any freedom at all;
everyone else will be merely their suckers, who are fooled by the professionals
at doing that — lying.
The
super-rich enforce their smears, and their other lies, by hiring people to do
this.
When
Barack Obama said that “The
United States is and remains the one indispensable nation” - so
that each other nation is
“dispensable” - he was merely exemplifying the view that only the most powerful
is indispensable, and that therefore everyone else is dispensable.
Of course, this is the way that he, and Donald Trump, both have governed in the
U.S. And Americans overwhelmingly endorse this viewpoint. They’re fooled by both parties,
because both parties serve only their respective billionaires — and billionaires
are above the law; they are the law, in America and its allied regimes. That’s
the way it is.
This
is the American gospel, and it is called “capitalism.” Oddly, after Russia
switched to capitalism in 1991, the American gospel switched instead to pure
global conquest — über-imperialism — and the American public didn’t even blink. So: nowadays, capitalism has come to mean über-imperialism.
That’s today’s American gospel. Adolf Hitler
would be smiling, upon today’s Amerika.
And as
far as whistleblowers — such as Julian Assange, and Edward Snowden, and Chelsea
Manning, and other champions of honesty and of democracy — are concerned:
Americans agree with the billionaires, who detest and destroy such
whistleblowers. Champions of democracy are shunned here, where PR reigns and real
journalism is almost non-existent.
