TO READ AND PONDER – CHRIS HEDGES: America’s Suicide Pact

 


 

America’s Suicide Pact

 

America’s suicidal march began long before Donald Trump. Trump and the buffoons around him are the inevitable final chapter of the decaying empire.

Our suicidal march began long before Donald Trump and his bizarre court of buffoons, sycophants, grifters and Christian fascists took power. It began when the ruling class, especially under the Reagan and Clinton administrations, set out to harvest the country and empire for personal profit.


There is a word for these people. Traitors.

CHRIS HEDGES: The World According to Gaza

The World According to Gaza

 

Gaza is only the start. The new world order is one where the weak are obliterated by the strong, the rule of law does not exist, genocide is an instrument of control and barbarism is triumphant.

CHRIS HEDGES: The Machinery of Terror

 




The Machinery of Terror

The Trump administration is consolidating the familiar machinery of terror of all authoritarian states. We must resist now. If we wait, it will be too late.

The Missing Link - by Mr. Fish


I have seen the masked goons who terrorize our streets before. I saw them during the “Dirty War” in Argentina, where 30,000 men, women and children were “disappeared” by the military junta. Victims were held in secret prisons, savagely tortured and murdered. To this day, many families do not know the fate of their loved ones.

La guerre menée contre Assange est une guerre contre la liberté de la presse. Par Chris Hedges

Mr. Fish / Truthdig
L’échec d’une partie des grands médias à défendre Julian Assange, qui est pris au piège au sein de l’ambassade équatorienne de Londres depuis 2012, à qui il a été refusé toute communication avec le monde extérieur depuis le mois de Mars et qui semble devoir faire face à son expulsion imminente de l’ambassade et à son arrestation, est stupéfiant. L’extradition de l’éditeur – le but hystérique du gouvernement américain – établirait un précédent juridique qui criminaliserait toute erreur ou enquête journalistique portant sur cet État corporatiste [ou corporatocratie, terme récent utilisé pour désigner un système économique et politique contrôlé par des corporations ou des intérêts corporatifs et financiers, Ndt]. La fuite d’informations et les lanceurs d’alerte relèveraient de la trahison. Les actions menées par les élites régnantes seraient voilées sous le sceau du secret total. SI Assange est extradé vers les États-Unis et condamné, The New York TimesThe Washington Post et toutes les autres organismes d’information, peu importe la façon dont ils couvrent les agissements de la corporatocratie d’État, seraient soumis à la même censure draconienne. Grâce au précédent établi, la Cour Suprême de Donald Trump pourra alors allègrement procéder à l’arrestation et à l’incarcération de tout éditeur, rédacteur ou reporter au nom de la sécurité nationale.
Des indices grandissants laissent entendre que l’ambassade équatorienne de Lenín Moreno se prépare à expulser Assange et à le remettre à la police britannique. Moreno et son ministre des affaires étrangères, José Valencia, ont confirmé qu’ils négociaient avec le gouvernement britannique pour « résoudre » le problème posé par le sort d’Assange. Moreno, qui sera en visite en Grande-Bretagne dans quelques semaines, désigne Assange sous le nom de « problème hérité » et de « caillou dans la chaussure » et à faire référence à lui en employant le terme de « hacker ». Il apparaît clairement que sous le gouvernement Moreno, Assange n’est plus le bienvenu en Équateur. Le seul espoir qui lui reste maintenant est l’assurance d’un passage sécurisé vers l’Australie, son pays natal ou tout autre pays qui voudra bien lui accorder l’asile.
« L’Équateur a cherché une solution à ce problème », a commenté Valencia à la télévision. « L’asile n’est pas à durée indéterminée, vous ne pouvez pas vous attendre à ce que ça dure des années sans que nous ré-évaluions la situation, notamment parce que ce serait une violation du droit des réfugiés. »
Le prédécesseur de Moreno, le président Rafael Correa qui a accordé l’asile à Assange au sein de l’ambassade et a fait de lui un citoyen équatorien l’année dernière, a mis en garde Assange que « ses jours étaient comptés ». Il a accusé Moreno – qui a coupé tous les moyens de communication d’Assange le lendemain du jour où Moreno a accueilli une délégation du U.S. Southern Command – d’être prêt à « le mettre à la porte de l’ambassade dès que les premières pressions américaines se feraient sentir ».

The War on Assange Is a War on Press Freedom

Mr. Fish / Truthdig
The failure on the part of establishment media to defend Julian Assange, who has been trapped in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London since 2012, has been denied communication with the outside world since March and appears to be facing imminent expulsion and arrest, is astonishing. The extradition of the publisher—the maniacal goal of the U.S. government—would set a legal precedent that would criminalize any journalistic oversight or investigation of the corporate state. It would turn leaks and whistleblowing into treason. It would shroud in total secrecy the actions of the ruling global elites. If Assange is extradited to the United States and sentenced, The New York Times, The Washington Post and every other media organization, no matter how tepid their coverage of the corporate state, would be subject to the same draconian censorship. Under the precedent set, Donald Trump’s Supreme Court would enthusiastically uphold the arrest and imprisonment of any publisher, editor or reporter in the name of national security.
There are growing signs that the Ecuadorean government of Lenín Moreno is preparing to evict Assange and turn him over to British police. Moreno and his foreign minister, José Valencia, have confirmed they are in negotiations with the British government to “resolve” the fate of Assange. Moreno, who will visit Britain in a few weeks, calls Assange an “inherited problem” and “a stone in the shoe” and has referred to him as a “hacker.” It appears that under a Moreno government Assange is no longer welcome in Ecuador. His only hope now is safe passage to his native Australia or another country willing to give him asylum.
“Ecuador has been looking for a solution to this problem,” Valencia commented on television. “The refuge is not forever, you cannot expect it to last for years without us reviewing this situation, including because this violates the rights of the refugee.”
Moreno’s predecessor as president, Rafael Correa, who granted Assange asylum in the embassy and made him an Ecuadorean citizen last year, warned that Assange’s “days were numbered.” He charged that Moreno—who cut off Assange’s communications the day after Moreno welcomed a delegation from the U.S. Southern Command—would “throw him out of the embassy at the first pressure from the United States.”

Chris Hedges -- The 1 Percent’s Useful Idiots




The 1 Percent’s Useful Idiots
By Chris Hedges

August 01, 2016 "Information Clearing House" - "Truthdig" - PHILADELPHIA—The parade of useful idiots, the bankrupt liberal class that long ago sold its soul to corporate power, is now led by Sen. Bernie Sanders. His final capitulation, symbolized by his pathetic motion to suspend the roll call, giving Hillary Clinton the Democratic nomination by acclamation, is an abject betrayal of millions of his supporters and his call for a political revolution.
No doubt the Democrats will continue to let Sanders be a member of the Democratic Caucus. No doubt the Democrats will continue to agree not to run a serious candidate against him in Vermont. No doubt Sanders will be given an ample platform and media opportunities to shill for Clinton and the corporate machine. No doubt he will remain a member of the political establishment.
