pcr wants some truth out there; 

 

A lesson on Western inequity from, and for, the leftwing

Paul Craig Roberts

Finian Cunningham, Jeremy Kuzmarov, Daniel Kovalik, KJ Noh, and Ron Ridenour have published a useful compendium of some of Washington’s regime changes and public deceptions since World War II. The information they have collected is well known and largely correct. The authors use the information to reach the reasonable conclusion that by its own actions the US government over time has discredited the belief that the US government is a well-meaning one holding out hope to the world.

I don’t much care for the book’s title Killing Democracy.  Democracy has long been dead in the West. No western government represents its people. A few years back former American president Jimmy Carter more accurately described the United States as an oligarchy. In Europe the effort has been underway for decades to destroy national sovereignty and unite Europe in an authoritarian government in which the people have no voice.

It is truth and respect for truth that has been killed. The authors make this point themselves, noting the failure of the media to perform its function, instead perpetrating false narratives that serve secret agendas.

The authors provide histories of some of the regime changes such as Iran, Guatemala, Bolivia, Ukraine, and currently underway Venezuela. Indeed, Washington even changed the American regime with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, thus launching America into the Vietnam War and the continuation of the Cold War doing the presidencies of Johnson, Nixon, Ford, and Carter until Reagan and Gorbachev could shut it down only to be revived by the Clinton regime.......more.............
