John Stockwell: Testifying Before the Senate on the CIA

[mrtedbundy2]

I like this man, he reminds me of me

Getting rid of the elitist predators would be like trying to remove the human predator out of ordinary citizens. People somehow think big government and political control is removed from themselves. The New World Order, globalism, international banking cartel ect are all just manifestations of the collective human predator. Exposing the BIG corruption without understanding it on a small individual level is akin to pushing a rope up a hill; it'll get you nowhere

How many people must suffer because N Korea won the war? I'd gladly sign up to fight Kim Jong Il's tyranny.

@thefilmarchive Stockwell is one of the most important American figures in the history of this nation. However, because of the bovine and backward mentality of the majority of American citizens, Stockwell never achieved a mass appeal. I think that most Americans are getting what we deserve due to our stupidity and apathy toward the ruling class of criminals who have run this country since its inception.

@salahudeenabduladl "most Americans are getting what we deserve due to our stupidity and apathy toward the ruling class of criminals who have run this country since its inception."

Right on, man.

One of my favorite recently collected quotes:

"Patriotism is nothing more than the organized group interests of the privileged class" — Mikhail Bakunin, Russian anarchist in 'Letters on Patriotism' 1869.

[salahudeenabduladl]

@bapyou Thanx, bro. You're a real pal! And that great quote you shared with me is something to live by. You sound like a real anarchist :) That is, someone who challenges all claims to authority. I'm going to look closer at Bakunin and his philosophy. Again, thanx bro. But whatever happened to the anarchist movement? We need anarchism in order to dismantle the hierarchical structure and world order that now oppresses the masses.

@bapyou Bro, what do you think needs to happen in order for us to wake up and rid ourselves of these parasites that claim leadership over us?

Hell, I don't claim to have any answers. But I am very much an unapolegetic leftist. Leftists are the only people who make any sense to me.

I watched a very interesting talk by a guy named David Harvey last night called 'The Crises of Capitalism'. Or read Harvey's books. He's a very engaging/interesting thinker.

[salahudeenabduladl]

@bapyou Aw, shucks! Dude, you're just being humble :) Yeah, I believe we're simpatico.

[salahudeenabduladl]

@bapyou OK. I'm gonna check out Mr. David Harvey.

[bapyou]

@salahudeenabduladl Also recommend another Harvey video series called 'A Brief History of Neoliberalism.' (It's also the title of a Harvey book.) That video series (in five parts) is truly brilliant. In it, and in the book, Harvey lays out the class warfare waged against the lower classes since the 1970s: Thatcher, Reagan, etc. It was all a plan to recapitalize the wealthy. Very much tied in with Marx's theory of excess capital and its problem.

Cheers. Let me know what you think of Harvey.

[salahudeenabduladl]

@bapyou OK. I just viewed the video of David Harvey on 'The Crises of Capitalism'. It was excellent.

[salahudeenabduladl]

@bapyou Also, I think it is particularly interesting that in Switzerland (a country that boasts of one of the highest standards of living in the world--appreciably higher than that in the US) only about 22% of the population are homeowners compared with America where about 60% own their own homes. This phenomenon brings into question the prevailing American perception that owning property is necessarily concomitant with being "prosperous."

[bapyou]

@salahudeenabduladl Yes, that little bit about Switzerland IS interesting.

[bapyou]

Mr. Stockwell is the man!

[salahudeenabduladl]

@bapyou Yes! Stockwell often offers insights even more trenchant that those of Noam Chomsky.

The CIA is the biggest obstruction to truth and justice and should be disbanded for treasonous acts against America and her people. When secrecy became a part of the system, it no longer functioned by, of and for the people. The people have been locked out long enough and it's time to bring about the necessary changes.

[lovosazul]

Top stuff! I strongly agree! Enough is enough! their sickening way of doing things hoodwinked the whole world for years now, and currently causing mayhem and and confusion, so much so that people do not know what truth is no more. Even the kids at schools cannot distinguish from what is decently truth from untruth or good and bad!?

People of America and if not the whole world need to open their eyes not a moment too soon right now and fire all of the CIA just like a great man once did! Y

[desertjournalonline]

Get rid of the CIA and the oligarchy (Wall Street, War Machine & all major international corporations) that prevents a government of, by and for the People, and obstructs our ability to pursue our happiness.
