No one has to "marry" anyone else politically; no one has to embrace every tenet or belief that an anti-imperialist ally might hold. You simply have to say: "All of us, regardless of our other views, believe this truth to be self-evident: dismantling the empire will bring immediate and enormous benefits to our nation and to the world."

I've found that culture, however useful and important, is neither the foundation nor the ceiling of human experience, even if it is commonly used for walls.
I really consider President and Mrs. Mubarak to be friends of my family. So I hope to see him often here in Egypt and in the United States. —Hillary Clinton
Are you talking about Kurt in general, or about the extradition attempt?
ReplyDeleteKurt
ReplyDeleteOkay, thank you. It's my senility. I did know about that. It had just fallen into the soup... though matters seem to have worsened considerably. We have to not BE senile about stuff like this. It's only by remembering these people that they have a chance.
ReplyDeleteI read about him 1 or 2 years ago and at that time I couldn't believe he hadn't released his footage. That's all we need is another whistle blower to be offed by the CIA without ever making their knowledge public. It would seem to me that once its made public they would lose interest in him assuming the only motivation is that the footage remains secret. So not to sound like an ass but maybe there isnt any footage. I mean why in the fuck would a person keep it secret for the nonexistent Christ's sake!
ReplyDeleteNo. You don't sound like an ass at all. A case could be made that he fears for his life or his children's lives, in revenge, if he releases it. It seems to me that if the guy were ONLY about staying alive, he'd've gotten it somewhere completely safe to be released in case of his untimely death, but I don't think even that could save him now. They have a TOTAL lock on the media, so they don't give a fuck who gets whatever it is he's supposed to have.
ReplyDeleteSo it's either a sort of Sibel Edmonds kind of thing where he needs to get intermittent blasts of publicity so they don't want to kill him until the public forgets him again, or something is fishy on one end or the other.
I think maybe he doesn't have it anymore, but can pretend that he does, and is trying to stay alive this way. I mean, it makes the most sense that "they" [Mossad, CIA, whoever] got it from him if it contained anything THAT incriminating.
I had the same misgivings as Doug when I first saw the report I linked above. Why is he hiding the info? I wondered if it was a bunch of bull, but the report of the US trying to extradite him lends more credence the issue.
ReplyDeleteI guess if we're gonna look at worst case scenario, he took the opportunity of being in a position where he could say he had hot evidence to murder his wife and blow to Argentina....
ReplyDeleteWe can't even TELL anymore. The state is SO criminal it's impossible to separate them from citizen criminals. We can't ever know now which is lying or when both are. There's no way to be intelligent about this stuff anymore.
