The hypocrisy of the West, including the rank hypocrisy of human rights organizations, is nauseating. It makes one ashamed.
Julian Assange faces life imprisonment in the Ecuadoran Embassy in London because the puppet UK government is helping Washington make an example of what happens to journalists who dare to publish the truth about Washington's mendacity and war crimes.
Is Washington paying Louisa Loveluck's salary or is she, along with the First Post, simply terrified of Washington's power? Or are Ms. Loveluck and the First Post simply going with the flow and avoiding criticism by not differing from the propaganda line?
No one will investigate, so we will never know.
Meanwhile in "freedom and democracy" america, at their Tampa, Florida, nominating convention, the Republican Party showed its true colors. It is a Brownshirt Party.
The tyrannical Republican machine refused to allow Ron Paul's name to be mentioned or his delegate count to be presented.
Reports from the Republican nomination convention read like reports of Stalin's takeover of the Communist Party or the Nazi takeover of the German state. Rules adopted at the convention eliminate any grass roots input. The Republican politburo is supreme. The party is subservient, and the members' voices are eliminated. Mimicking Lenin, the Republicans declared that Republican rule "means neither more nor less than unlimited power, resting directly on force, not limited by anything, not restricted by any laws, nor any absolute rules. Nothing else but that."
As Mother Jones reported, Ron Paul supporters shouted from the convention floor, "f*ck You, Tyrants!"
The Republicans are the party of "freedom and democracy." The Republicans are the party most controlled by the neoconservatives, who are strongly allied with Israel's far right-wing government and are most hostile to the US Constitution. The Republicans are the party that gave us the PATRIOT Act, the first massive assault on the US Constitution. The Republicans are the party that gave us 9/11. The Republicans are the party that gave us the $3 trillion war against Iraq based on the Republican party's lies about "weapons of mass destruction." The Republicans are the party that gave us the $3 trillion war in Afghanistan based on lies about Osama bin Laden and the Taliban. The Republicans are the party that gave us the supremacy of the President over both the US Constitution and US statutory law; the executive branch is bound by neither according to the Republican Federalist Society members of the US Department of Justice (sic).
Obama is a despicable patsy, a front man for powerful private interests, and Democrats should be totally ashamed to have elevated such a cowardly lowlife. But as awful as Obama is, a vote for Republicans is a vote for Hitler or Stalin. Indeed, the election of Romney and Ryan would be worse than either.
