Outrageous Lie 2007 Competition Hotting Up, Bush Leads

George Bush is probably going to win with his misappropriation of ‘The Quiet American’ and Vietnam analogy to bolster his determination to leave the Whitehouse with American forces still in Iraq. His ludicrous and dishonest speech is frankly beneath contempt, Frolix at War Within a Breath says it well. Not one part of his speech is true or done in good faith, he is a vile piece of human faecal waste masquerading as a person. His assertions about what caused the killing fields of Cambodia are likely to be believed in mainstream America, why? Because-

John Pilger on Democracy Now!- I’ve made a number of documentaries about Cambodia. The first was Year Zero: the Silent Death of Cambodia. It describes the American bombing that provided the catalyst for the rise of Pol Pot. What Nixon and Kissinger had started, Pol Pot completed—CIA files alone leave no doubt of that. I offered Year Zero to PBS and took it to Washington. The PBS executives who saw it were shocked. They whispered among themselves. They asked me to wait outside. One of them finally emerged and said, “John, we admire your film. But we are disturbed that it says the United States prepared the way for Pol Pot.”

I said, “Do you dispute the evidence?” I had quoted a number of CIA documents. “Oh, no,” he replied. “But we’ve decided to call in a journalistic adjudicator.”

Now the term “journalist adjudicator” might have been invented by George Orwell. In fact they managed to find one of only three journalists who had been invited to Cambodia by Pol Pot. And of course he turned his thumbs down on the film, and I never heard from PBS again. Year Zero was broadcast in some 60 countries and became one of the most watched documentaries in the world. It was never shown in the United States. Of the five films I have made on Cambodia, one of them was shown by WNET, the PBS station in New York. I believe it was shown at about one in the morning. On the basis of this single showing, when most people are asleep, it was awarded an Emmy. What marvelous irony. It was worthy of a prize but not an audience.

America revels in its ignorance then builds on it to make new horrors justified from a false position, but get this, Bush and his family know the truth, his father headed the CIA, he is lying to your faces. So let’s get down to business, the Dems as a party have shown they do not oppose him in any real way. Only a few most notably Kucinich even engage with opposing the Bush regime.

There are four boxes to use in the defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, ammo. Use in that order.

Before you know it the only news story will be the Presidential campaign and then it will be 2009 and then… well why build permanent bases if you are going to leave. So roughly 17 months until a change of President who most likely will not withdraw either. Unless they are forced to, by the Iraq resistance in the occupied territories and domestic resistance in America. Americans have the luxury of not being slaughtered by troops who neither speak their language nor care for their culture. Between 25% and a third of Americans still support Bush, this puts the opposition well into the majority, although Bush’s supporters are more likely to be agents of state violence, bigots gravitating to jobs where they wield sanctioned violence. Neither party represent the views of the people, they reflect elite opinion and the regime have declared they are above the law. Which all goes to indicate to me unless mass protest and direct action force- force, not persuade, not convince- force the politician’s to impeach and remove Bush and Cheney, Iraq will be occupied well into the 2010’s. Have a look at this, time to start thinking about a global boycott of the American Empire? (and to show solidarity with citizen’s fighting inside the belly of the beast, some great American people)-

An appeal to people outside the United States to break US imperial power
BY Stan Goff

NOTE: Please translate this into as many languages as possible, and distribute as widely as possible.

This series of suggestions is written because my country is on a path that will first destroy other societies — upon which we depend — and the biospheric basis of life itself; and this means eventually our own society. Our society now — an imperial society — is deeply alienated, desperately unhappy, and thoroughly indoctrinated into the acquisitive individualism that creates that alienation and unhappiness. We continue down this path because the weight of the system gives it such enormous inertia. We need you to do these things, not just to ensure your own futures… but for our own good.

The United States now exists as a parasite upon the rest of the world. In this system, this political entity called the United States of America is not only a parasite, but a parasite that is destroying its own host. There is only one outcome in the end for such a relationship; we will all perish together. With the help of the people of the world — and I will outline ten ways you can help us — we can all escape this fate. Each of us — with the destruction of US imperial power — will be in a better position to work for a sustainable and indpendent future for ourselves, our children, and our grandchildren.

(1) If there is a US military base in your country, begin a concerted campaign to get rid of it. These bases are exercises of imperial power against your own sovereignty. They are creating base-economies of crime, corruption, and prostitution. They are environmental disasters. Wage a sharp political struggle to make them untenable.

(2) If there are US companies, be they factories, financial offices, or retail outlets, in your country, organize sustained boycotts of them.

(3) If you live in a country that owes an external debt to the US or the US-controlled International Monetary Fund, begin a fight to either default on that debt outright, or secure low-interest or no-interest loans from other countries to pay down the principle. Your nations’ debt is your peoples’ slavery.

(4) Boycott any American agricultural products being dumped on your national markets; and wage a political fight to stop them coming in. US industrial agricultural corporations are heavily-subsidized and predatory monstrosities that destroy the environment and are used as a weapon to destroy your local, traditional agriculture. Ending agriculture for export and supporting your own subsistence and local market agriculture is necessary to break your dependency upon and subjugation to the United States. Fight for you nations’ land; and do not let it become an export platform for dollar-crops in the US market.

(5) Boycott American cultural products. They are propaganda aimed at turning your children into mindless consumers and your nations into obedient colonies.

(6) Make these political issues at home. Fight politicians who are called “pro-American,” This means they are stooges for US-based transnational corporations or for the US state.

(7) Fight to nationalize your most valuable natural resources; and support politicians who will abrogate agreements that allow US finance capital unlimited access to your national markets.

(8) Try to close down any projects that are run out of the US Embassy by the US Agency for International Development (USAID). These projects are designed to drain talented local people away from national independence movements, and the USAID works closely with the Central Intelligence Agency.

(9) Expose and resist any political activity by the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), also operating in concert with the US Embassy. This is a front organization for the purpose of engineering elections outcomes in your nation that are seen as favorable to US transnational corporations and the US state.

(10) Mount massive political efforts directed at US Embassies everywhere that oppose the US occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, and demand not only withdrawal, but that no US bases be left behind.

NOTE: I have not called for violence in any of these suggestions. These are generic recommendations.
