Shocking "Extermination" Fantasies By the People Running America's Empire on Full Display at Aspen Summit

Another forum sponsor was Academi, the private mercenary corporation formerly known as Blackwater. In fact, Academi is Blackwater's third incarnation (it was first renamed "Xe") since revelations of widespread human rights abuses and possible war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan threw the mercenary firm into full damage control mode. The Aspen Institute did not respond to my questions about whether accepting sponsorship from such an unsavory entity fit within its ethical guidelines.

right. You couldn’t make this shit up.

These shameless filthy murderers are nothing less than evil personified. They mock Nuremberg. They should be lined up and shot like all war criminals deserve..every last one of them.

Never happen here my ass.

As if that weren’t enough to make you vomit…then there’s this…

Speaking of psychopaths, Holder “promises” Russia..we won’t torture Snowden.

BadCyborg said...: Something isn't right here. I dunno. Something about the style in that article makes me wonder if it's not a satire. It seems just a tad overblown and in your face for it to be real.

That being said, I do not doubt that it reflects the attitude of many in the field.; July 28, 2013 at 3:54 PM
carlwk3c said...: To those who are naive fools who don't believe government capable of such evil:
You claim intelligence, but deny the overwhelming body of history on the basis of the childish belief (or fearful wishful thinking) that the nature of those who seek, and are ruthless enough in their pursuit of power to acquire it, has changed such that they will magically use it in a benevolent way "this time."
Tell that to the 262 million people murdered by their own governments in the 20th century alone ... People slaughtered for political reasons by their own, often "duly elected," governments.
To assert "That could never happen here ... This is America!" is more absurd than a fervent belief in the veracity of the story "Jack and the Beanstalk" or that the "Easter Bunny" really leaves hundreds of millions of multicolored eggs all over the world in a single, specific night.
Your thinking is the same as that of those who led every victim group in history to the slaughter, telling them "It's not that bad. If we just ignore their oppression and obey their commands one more time things will get better."
Those are the thoughts of those without the courage or character to oppose oppression and tyranny ... the sniveling "leaders" who condemned millions to death for lack of the backbone to fight back against evil.; July 29, 2013 at 12:58 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
