"Preventive war was an invention of Hitler. Frankly, I would not even listen to anyone seriously that came and talked about such a thing." Dwight D. Eisenhower
How America has changed since Ike? We are now 'the land of the scared and frightened wingnuts on the right and other assorted corporate stooges.'
"Meanwhile, corporate America and its international allies continue to do their bit. Joining PayPal and Amazon, who had already cut off their services to WikiLeaks, most of the remaining venues through which the internet journal is funded are also freezing out the organization -- MasterCard, Visa, and a Swiss bank that WikiLeaks used to process donations. All of these organizations are obviously responding to government pressure.
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 Washingtons 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 didnt mind being unmasked as accomplices in mass murder and fomenters of suffering and hatred; in fact, they were rather proud of it. " Chris Floyd Chris Floyd: Truth in Chains
