Truth In Chains

The Arrest of Julian Assange

"What is perhaps most remarkable is that this joint action by the world elite to shut down WikiLeaks – which has been operating for four years – comes after the release of diplomatic cables, not in response to earlier leaks which provided detailed evidence of crimes and atrocities committed by the perpetrators and continuers of Washington’s Terror War. I suppose this is because the diplomatic cables have upset the smooth running of the corrupt and cynical backroom operations that actually govern our world, behind the ludicrous lies and self-righteous posturing that our great and good lay on for the public. They didn’t mind being unmasked as accomplices in mass murder and fomenters of suffering and hatred; in fact, they were rather proud of it. And they certainly knew that their fellow corruptocrats in foreign governments – not to mention the perpetually stunned and supine American people – wouldn’t give a toss about a bunch of worthless peons in Iraq and Afghanistan getting killed. But the diplomatic cables have caused an embarrassing stink among the closed little clique of the movers and shakers. And that is a crime deserving of vast eons in stir – or death."

Shelton Book A Humdinger

"Shelton says he liked former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfield personally, but he says he was arrogant, would not listen to military advice and was responsible for a flawed Iraq war plan, 'a fiasco.'

“There was absolutely no link between (Saddam,) and 9/11,” Shelton writes.

He accuses Bush of 'intentionally deceiving the American people.'

He is critical of the Central Intelligence Agency. He writes John McCain has 'a screw loose.' He has no use for Al Gore, which gives Shelton credibility with me.

He tells of attempts to kill bin Laden that were rejected by our State Department.

I found the story about Clinton’s aides losing the 'biscuit' funny to me, but misplacing the nuclear launch codes is not amusing.

Another story is about a senior Clinton official who proposed letting Iraq shot down a low-flying Air Force U-2. You got to love Shelton’s response."

“Our Boondoggle Cost Less Than Your Boondoggle!”

The pro-war, any-war crowd is glomming onto a Congressional Budget Office report that shows Obama’s ill-fated stimulus has cost more than current appropriations on the ill-fated Iraq War. More HERE.
