Harold Pinter: US Foreign Policy -1/4

[abortfailure7646]

Gee whiz......I wonder why Corporate Mass Media never reported on this. Oh yeah, because they are busy propping up the same people Pinter talks about. It has become a disgrace to be American. Somebody asked why so few views. LOL, because only stupid naked women go viral in the USA.

This is one of the most, if not THE most important speech I have ever heard. Which is probaply why only a few hundred people have listned to it. A great pity.

US has been a free-masonic state from its very invention. These are the good people of a society who appear here and there once in a while but eventually these voices will die down to non-existence. From Bin Laden to Qazi Hussein Ahmed, From Saudi royalites to Pakistani politicians all the muslim rulers at this time are free-masonic puppets, knowingly or unknowingly.

PART IV:

What is perhaps most remarkable is the way US justifies its actions. Proxy wars, coups, and invasions are launched in the name of protecting or introducing democracy. Public is kept in check via "[use of] language to keep thought at bay" and media manipulated through misinformation. Treaties are broken at will and global institutions ignored when necessary. All the while, a myth is nurtured that the world desires US way of life and would adopt it if given an opportunity.

PART III:

Of course, America's motivation has been to prevent rise of any govenment - anywhere - that would present an alternative system to the neo-liberal model of development championed by the US. Nicaragua is indeed an excellent case in point: the US denounced such accomplishments as improved literacy, better healthcare, and lower inequality by its left-leaning govt as "marxism" and launched a brutal proxy war via mercenaries in Honduras that ultimately devastated the country.

PART II:

Pinter is correct in stating "the crimes of the US have been systematic, constant, vicious, and remoseless". US policy has been to destabilize countries from within with "low intensity conflicts" and then put in place pliant military-based dictators to do its bidding. This is the pattern that has been repeated throughout the globe: in MiddleEast (Iran), Asia (Indonesia), Africa (Congo), Central America (Nicaragua), Europe (Greece, Turkey), and South America (Brazil, Chile).

PART I:

I agree with Pinter's core assertions that: (a) politicians are not interested in truth, but in power and maintenance of power, (b) since end of WW 2, US has been engaged in a brutal excercise of its power against weak countries, (c) US is "the greatest show on the road" on account of its ability to cover its tracks under "democracy", (d) the crimes of US have recieved very little attention from public and media, and (e) the demise of Soviet union removed all checks on US.

No doubt Democracy Now is the beacon of hope in skewed US media. Great show. Thanks Kashif.
