The Civil Rights movement taught America that the Government is unable to effect change

Change only comes from the people

So don't ever expect the Government to help you; or to set things right

@starmanskye It will destroy itself .

[starmanskye]

@BOMBOVA -- CIA: Corporate Policy Enforcers. Extortion, terror killings, assassinations, 3rd World political & economic destabilization, strong-arm intimidation, union & Co-op busting, graft, theft, drugs/arms running, multi-billion-dollar frauds, racketeering, war-mongering, etc. What POSSIBLE good can be served by such a comprehensive program of violence, destruction, lies, misery, death, torture, dishonesty, crime, and suffering? Problem NOW is its too powerful a force to readily eliminate.

[starmanskye]

The most outrageous aspect of the Global War on Terrror is the central fact that via CIA, NSA & 'other' spook/intel/paramilitary agencies the USA Inc. has been actively waging Terrorism on dozens of nations for 60+ yrs. The CIA is one of the most despotic, criminal organizations, responsible for 1000 times more violence, social disruption, racketeering, destruction, misery, death & suffering than the supposed crimes of so-called 'Terrorists' the GWOT is targetting. MIC is a Force of Darkness.

@h3nk1pro2 -- Indeed; Scott is the type of scholar, researcher, humanitarian, writer, teacher & prof. that reflects the very best tradition of critical thinking, intellectual courage, compassion and personal integrity. He is resourceful, impassioned & fearless, following his intuition & interest w/ dogged determination. Someone I deeply admire for his critical rigor, awareness & sharing his hard-won knowledge about the systems of US military, economic & political power, defining Deep Politics.

Amazing - Peter Dale Scott is an inspiration.
