An Assassin Speaks Out

Ok. You guys know I can't resist this. I gotta post it.

I am not a huge Chavez fan, but he is immensly popular in Venezuela and has really, really helped the poor with- Gasp; redistribution of wealth.
In 2002 the Bush administration used American Navy ships, signals intelligence and covert ops to help the coup that briefly overthrew Chavez.
Now, even President Carter admits this:

"Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, speaking to a South American newspaper recently, claimed the United States may have been involved in an attempted overthrow of Chavez’s regime.

“I think there is no doubt that in 2002, the United States had at the very least full knowledge about the coup, and could even have been directly involved,” he told El Tiempo last week.
Carter told El Tiempo that he believed Chavez was elected in a “fair” vote in 1999, had carried out necessary reforms for Venezuela and ensured that “those who are traditionally excluded are able to get a larger share of the national wealth.”
But he also said he was worried by the Venezuelan leader’s drift towards “authoritarianism.”

The fact that the U.S. is opening up new military bases in Colombia, under the guise of drug interdiction, is a clue that the military industrial complex is increasingly worried about populist movements in Latin America that are currently rejecting unbridled corporate capitalism.
Stay tuned, back to martial arts soon.

"Because Television News Sucks So Bad"

Let's take a quick look at a few of the goodies in the news that aught to scare the shit out of us:
1. Bush-era spying may have been blackmailing Democrats
The secret spy program may have been why the Dems appeared so spineless against Darth Cheney; it has been revealed that both former President Bill Clinton and Rep. Jane Harman were among those wiretapped. In Clinton's case it has been passed off as a one-time accident. In Harman's case, far more serious, the wiretap suggests that she was cutting deals with people connected to an Israeli spy ring in Washinton.
The fact she may have negotiated a "go easy" case on the spy ring shows how powerful the Israeli lobby is in the U.S. Government. The fact that Harman, Clinton and you and me were spied on by our own government should really piss you off. And you know it goes way deeper than this.
2. The CIA Put $400 Million Into Instigating A Revolution In Iran
Democracy, Schmoceracy. Sure, we overthrew Iran in 1953, (and now tried again, after the current election) but we are clearly still involved in various "color revolutions" all around the world. Dangerous stuff, considering it blew back on us when WE CREATED THE TALIBAN to fight the Russians...
3. Dick Cheney Ran Assassination Squads Without Knowledge Of CIA Or Congress
Oh Duh. Still more proof that Bush was a puppet.
But here's the kicker: Bush had already informed Congress in 2001 about a program to kill AlQueda leaders, which has been ongoing. It was actually something else.
So what the hell was this alternative program run by Cheney, which was so abhorrent that it stunned Congress when current CIA Director Panetta exposed it?
Let's see; How about the CIA killing people in the United States, against their charter? How about revealing the existance of Space-based laser platforms? How about killing people who knew there was a cover-up regarding the events of 9-11?
4. Military Developing Corpse-Eating Robots
"R2, Speak to me, R2!"
Yes, soon C3po will be equipped with weapons and a fuel burner that can process grass, wood, dead (or live?) animal and HUMAN corpses, which would be plentiful on the battlefield. Real Zombie Wars. This should put a smile on the face of our favorite Zombie, Bobbe Edmonds at "Thick As Thieves"...
