If only the CIA’s rogue operations had been consigned to history as a result of the crimes exposed by the Church Committee, or at the least had brought the CIA under the rule of law and public accountability. But that was not to be.

There are three basic problems with the CIA: its objectives, methods, and unaccountability. Its operational objectives are whatever the CIA or the President of the United States defines to be in the U.S. interest at a given time, irrespective of international law or U.S. law. Its methods are secretive and duplicitous. Its unaccountability means that the CIA and president run foreign policy without any public scrutiny. Congress is a doormat, a sideshow.

As a recent CIA Director, Mike Pompeo, said of his time at the CIA: “I was the CIA director. We lied, we cheated, we stole. We had entire training courses. It reminds you of the glory of the American experiment.”

The CIA was established in 1947 as the successor to the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). The OSS had performed two distinct roles in World War II, intelligence and subversion. The CIA took over both roles. On the one hand, the CIA was to provide intelligence to the US Government. On the other, the CIA was to subvert the “enemy,” that is, whomever the president or CIA defined as the enemy, using a wide range of measures: assassinations, coups, staged unrest, arming of insurgents, and other means.

It is the latter role that has proved devastating to global stability and the U.S. rule of law. It is a role that the CIA continues to pursue today. In effect, the CIA is a secret army of the U.S., capable of creating mayhem across the world with no accountability whatsoever.

When President Dwight Eisenhower decided that Africa’s rising political star, democratically elected Patrice Lumumba of Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of Congo), was the “enemy,” the CIA conspired in his 1961 assassination, thus undermining the democratic hopes for Africa. He would hardly be the last African president brought down by the CIA.

The extent of the continuing mayhem resulting from CIA operations gone awry is astounding.

In its 77-year history, the CIA has been held to serious public account just once, in 1975. In that year, Idaho Senator Frank Church led a Senate investigation that exposed the CIA’s shocking rampage of assassinations, coups, destabilization, surveillance, and Mengele-style torture and medical “experiments.”

The expose by the Church Committee of the CIA’s shocking malfeasance has recently been chronicled in a superb book by the investigative reporter James Risen, The Last Honest Man: The CIA, the FBI, the Mafia, and the Kennedys―and One Senator’s Fight to Save Democracy.

That single episode of oversight occurred because of a rare confluence of events.

In the year before the Church Committee, the Watergate scandal had toppled Richard Nixon and weakened the White House. As successor to Nixon, Gerald Ford was unelected, a former Congressman, and reluctant to oppose the oversight prerogatives of the Congress. The Watergate scandal, investigated by the Senate Ervin Committee, had also empowered the Senate and demonstrated the value of Senate oversight of Executive Branch abuses of power. Crucially, the CIA was newly led by Director William Colby, who wanted to clean up the CIA operations. Also, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, author of pervasive illegalities also exposed by the Church committee, had died in 1972.

In December 1974, investigative reporter Seymour Hersh, then as now a great reporter with sources inside the CIA, published an account of illegal CIA intelligence operations against the U.S. antiwar movement. The Senate Majority Leader at the time, Mike Mansfield, a leader of character, then appointed Church to investigate the CIA. Church himself was a brave, honest, intelligent, independent-minded, and intrepid Senator, characteristics chronically in short supply in U.S. politics.

If only the CIA’s rogue operations had been consigned to history as a result of the crimes exposed by the Church Committee, or at the least had brought the CIA under the rule of law and public accountability. But that was not to be. The CIA has had the last laugh—or better said, has brought the world to tears—by maintaining its preeminent role in U.S. foreign policy, including overseas subversion.

Since 1975, the CIA has run secretive operations backing Islamic jihadists in Afghanistan that utterly wrecked Afghanistan while giving rise to al-Qaeda. The CIA has likely run secretive operations in the Balkans against Serbia, in the Caucuses against Russia, and in Central Asia targeting China, all deploying CIA-backed jihadists. In the 2010s, the CIA ran deadly operations to topple Syria’s Bashir al-Assad, again with Islamic jihadists. For at least 20 years, the CIA has been deeply involved in fomenting the growing catastrophe in Ukraine, including the violent overthrow of Ukraine’s President Viktor Yanukovych in February 2014 that triggered the devastating war now engulfing Ukraine.

What do we know of these operations? Only the parts that whistleblowers, a few intrepid investigative reporters, a handful of brave scholars, and some foreign governments have been willing or able to tell us, with all of these potential witnesses knowing that they might face severe retribution from the U.S. government. There has been little to no accountability by the U.S. government itself, or meaningful oversight or restraint imposed by Congress. On the contrary, the government has become ever-more obsessively secretive, pursuing aggressive legal actions against disclosures of classified information, even when, or especially when, that information describes the illegal actions by the government itself.

Once in a while, a former U.S. official spills the beans, such as when Zbigniew Brzezinski revealed that he had induced Jimmy Carter to assign the CIA to train Islamic jihadists to destabilize the government of Afghanistan, with the aim of inducing the Soviet Union to invade that country.

In the case of Syria, we learned from a few stories in the New York Times in 2016 and 2017 of the CIA’s subversive operations to destabilize Syria and overthrow Assad, as ordered by President Barack Obama. Here is the case of a dreadfully misguided CIA operation, blatantly in violation of international law, that has led to a decade of mayhem, an escalating regional war, hundreds of thousands of deaths, and millions of displaced people, and yet there has not been a single honest acknowledgment of this CIA-led disaster by the White House or Congress.

In the case of Ukraine, we know that the U.S. played a major covert role in the violent coup that brought down Yanukovych and that swept Ukraine into a decade of bloodshed but to this day, we don’t know the details. Russia offered the world a window into the coup by intercepting and then posting a call between Victoria Nuland, then U.S. Assistant Secretary of State (now Under-Secretary of State) and U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt (now Assistant Secretary of State), in which they plot the post-coup government. Following the coup, the CIA covertly trained special operations forces of the post-coup regime the U.S. had helped bring to power. The U.S. government has been mum about the CIA’s covert operations in Ukraine.

We have good reason to believe that CIA operatives carried out the destruction of the Nord Stream pipeline, as per Seymour Hersh, who is now an independent reporter. Unlike in 1975, when Hersh was with the New York Times at a time when the paper still tried to hold the government to account, the Times does not even deign to look into Hersh’s account.

Holding the CIA to public account is of course a steep uphill struggle. Presidents and the Congress don’t even try. The mainstream media don’t investigate the CIA, preferring instead to quote “senior unnamed officials” and the official cover-up. Are the mainstream media outlets lazy, suborned, afraid of advertising revenues from the military-industrial complex, threatened,
ignorant, or all of the above? Who knows.

There is a tiny glimmer of hope. Back in 1975, the CIA was led by a reformer. Today, the CIA is led by William Burns, one of America’s long-standing leading diplomats. Burns knows the truth about Ukraine, since he served as Ambassador to Russia in 2008 and cabled Washington about the grave error of pushing NATO enlargement to Ukraine. Given Burns’ stature and diplomatic accomplishments, perhaps he would support the urgently needed accountability.

The extent of the continuing mayhem resulting from CIA operations gone awry is astounding. In Afghanistan, Haiti, Syria, Venezuela, Kosovo, Ukraine, and far beyond, the needless deaths, instability, and destruction unleashed by CIA subversion continues to this day. The mainstream media, academic institutions, and Congress should be investigating these operations to the best of their ability and demanding the release of documents to enable democratic accountability.

Next year is the 50th anniversary of the Church Committee hearings. Fifty years on, with the precedent, inspiration, and guidance of the Church Committee itself, it’s urgently time to open the blinds, expose the truth about the U.S.-led mayhem, and begin a new era in which U.S. foreign policy becomes transparent, accountable, subject to the rule of law both domestic and international, and directed towards global peace rather than subversion of supposed enemies.

    the cia was created to protect the office of the presidency, from who you might ask? well from the fbi that had so much dirt, on every politician that could possibly rise to power (the closet queen hoover wrote the book, that the izzy’s now use to control the west).

    they took their task so seriously that they had to kill kennedy to protect his office from him. at this point you can’t tell where the cia ends and mossad starts but it doesn’t really matter as they both have the exact same dark agenda.

  2. Jeffrey Sachs has long been a persona non grata due to his efforts to privatize assets formerly owned by the state after the collapse of the USSR, yet articles like this show that he has increasingly been a force for truth in the world. Perhaps it is somewhat intentional, and he has been trying to revamp his reputation, but whatever his motive, very few of Sachs’ peers are talking about the CIA right now. He writes:

    The CIA was established in 1947 as the successor to the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). The OSS had performed two distinct roles in World War II, intelligence and subversion.

    This statement seems rather innocuous, as if it were a smooth transition from the OSS to the CIA. The transition has been described as a betrayal against some agents, because the agency stopped being opposed to Nazi Germany and incorporated former Nazis in opposition to the Soviet Union. The term ‘sky fall’ is used to describe when assets are exposed and terminated, in preparation to bring in new people to replace whole teams, and the new team was known as the CIA.

    In the case of Ukraine, we know that the U.S. played a major covert role in the violent coup that brought down Yanukovych and that swept Ukraine into a decade of bloodshed but to this day, we don’t know the details.

    Does anyone know Yulia Tymoshenko’s role in this? She replaced Yanukovych as Prime Minister and served under him when he became President. Earlier, she played a lead role in the Orange Revolution, and years later she was imprisoned for corruption. She currently is active in the Ukrainian government, taking what appears to be a pragmatic position that is pro-EU and not favorable to Russia.

    Another loud shart from our most eminent dissenter, which the media will tactfully ignore and forbear to sniff. But we need to squeak a few more out to draw the implications.

    Watergate was a CIA purge of insubordinate puppet ruler Richard Nixon and his swingeing reformer Schlesinger (a second apical, if bloodless, coup exhaustively documented by Russ Baker, before CIA put the horse head in Baker’s bed.) Nixon was an early, failed reformer, a political entrepreneur. Like Nixon, Church (and most importantly, Pike) were emboldened by action in the transnational space to control grave CIA crime, particularly torture and aggression. Reform impetus came from the outside world. CIA took care of that little pissant mutiny by sending Don Gregg to Capitol Hill to threaten martial law.

    What’s missing in this piece is CIA impunity, the defining condition of contemporary history. Impunity gives CIA arbitrary power. With two dozen get-out-of-jail-free cards in law, regulation, legal precedent, and sub rosa MOUs, they can kill you and torture you and get away with it – as they regularly demonstrate. Impunity makes CIA the command structure. They’re in charge. Impunity also makes CIA a criminal enterprise, and corrupts every influential institution in the country and its satellite states.

    CIA impunity negates municipal law and flouts jus cogens. But when somebody breaks jus cogens, it means war. In this case, World War III, happening now, which CIA is going to lose. So we can all look forward to the CIA DCIs and DOs and half the SIS twisting slowly in the wind in Khabarovsk. With luck, that won’t take too many 10 MT groundbursts in CONUS. But whatever it takes it will be worth it to get rid of the CIA psychos that infest this country. That’s the one essential reform.

    Wherever the US has gone this has been the result. It’s an ugly track record that has been continuing and reaching new levels. CIA has inserted itself into US domestic politics in a big way. Some US presidents may have been CIA sponsored such as Obama who seemed to effortlessly glide upwards with some help from behind to pave the way and remove obstacles. Every phone call and e-mail are probably available going back to college days as well as gossip, giving them a lot of leeway for blackmail. Between the ego gratification of being a VIP, campaign contributions and the prospect of blackmail most in Congress will go along. MSM have become Orwellian loudspeakers. At this point there’s no scenario whereby CIA’s claws can be unhooked.

    After Jack Kennedy got his head blown off, Harry Truman made his famous one-day-only remark that the thing he most regretted was creating the CIA back in 1947 when he created the National Security State.

    The Washington Post ran the story one time, the day he said it. Never again. So that’s what the CIA is. We can see who it’s run for: talking about Jewish Power and talking about the CIA is equivalent.

    The CIA are the Imperial Overlords. Like all our big shots CIA orders come from Israel. It’s why some of us treat secession as a big joke. First dump the foreign princes, THEN worry about how we shall live.

  17. Anonymous[326] • Disclaimer says:

    The USA seems to be the successor state to the old USSR.

    Note the exquisite orchestration of Navalny’s murder by some embedded CIA functionary within Russia’s very prison system within a day of Putin’s interview by Tucker Carlson with the specific aim in mind to destroy whatever good will or public understanding of Russia’s protective actions taken to mitigate all the vicious lies, slanders and deliberate financial damage, to say nothing of the wholesale murder of thousands of ethnic Russians precipitated through deliberate and incessant actions by the American state which seeks no less than the total destruction of all Russian society and functional disintegration of its government and entire organised state.

    Navalny’s murder was no less than an especially egregious act of war by America against Russia. Moreover, to view the absolutely immediate and unanimous accusations by EVERY European state in the aftermath of this murder to personally accuse Putin of masterminding and ordering such a crime suggests to me that NATO and the EU was in on the plot against Putin and Russia. To read the headlines plastered throughout the internet making these charges is absolutely mind boggling. Biden and the Deep State that gives him his orders must think that most of the American people are totally clueless and unable to logically analyse the evidence and perceive their government’s treachery.

    Actually, without much effort, it should even be clear to them that Tucker Carlson (as was Navalny himself) was either wittingly or unwittingly used as a pawn when he floated the proposition to Putin of releasing another American spy from prison… and viola! A day later Navalny turns up dead. How convenient! The American president and his CIA would have Americans and the entire world believe that this murder was ordered by a ruthless and insane Putin because he felt affronted by Mr. Carlson’s impertinence, the implication being that the putative “facts” spouted in unison by all of America’s free and democratic allies clearly reveal the general mental depravity and amoral code of conduct exhibited by Mr. Putin at every turn in this long sorry escapade.

    After all, look at ALL the other poor victims that he has allegedly killed prior to this latest outrage, ranging from individual assassinations to essentially mass murder– genuine old fashioned genocide, if you will (with every bit of this thinking based not upon any factual evidence but only upon good ol’ Yankee horse sense). Why, you’re even supposed to believe that Navalny’s body could not IMMEDIATELY be turned over to his family because a cover-up was surely ongoing rather than a detailed forensic investigation. Once again, if Putin were responsible for such murderous skullduggery, why would he even allow a body to remain in the form of potential evidence? Why not the more convenient and efficient tale of Navalny simply escaping from the prison and wandering off to die of exposure in the boreal taiga, with any of numerous possible brown bears or polar bears consuming his worthless carcass? After yesterday’s reports that he just suddenly dropped dead from no apparent cause after reporting to the prison clinic, today the favored scuttlebutt of the progressive West presently circling the globe is that he seems to have had his entire allotment of shit quite deliberately and thoroughly beaten out of him. That certainly seems to be a final step on the checklist that his assigned CIA assassin would not forget to do to adequately besmirch Mad Vlad’s reputation, which is the ultimate goal here.

  18. Fifty years on, with the precedent, inspiration, and guidance of the Church Committee itself, it’s urgently time to open the blinds, expose the truth about the U.S.-led mayhem, and begin a new era in which U.S. foreign policy becomes transparent, accountable, subject to the rule of law both domestic and international, and directed towards global peace rather than subversion of supposed enemies.

    Yeah Mr. Sax keep trying to fool people to think that the system can be reformed and that justice is just around the corner if we make right use of our institutions.

    The truth is that the U.S. regime is the incarnation of pure and unadulterated evil, is rotten to its core, and does not have the slightest chance of a snowball in hell to redeem and reform itself. It is the Great Satan, the chief of all the smaller Satans, but practically all governments and rulers and elites are Satanic, the US just happens to be by far the most powerful and influential, the King of Satanic Kings.

    Evil is not limited to this or that country or people. The original Zoroastrian (and Manichean) doctrines asserted that the good and evil were equally present in creation, personifying these polarities as the “Lord of Wisdom” (Ahura Mazda) and the “Spiteful Spirit” (Angra Mainiyu perhaps literally Angry Mind) opposed to each other in a struggle that was however predicted to ultimately result in the elimination of EVIL from the world. EVIL itself was presented as an alien invading force that penetrated into this universe whose original state did not include both principles.

    Anyhow, while good and evil are equally present in nature (because all opposites and polarities cancel each other out in what we know to be the laws of nature), EVIL wields far more power because of its propensity to form hierarchies and install the most evil people at the top, and enslave the rest of mankind and drag and convince them to be unknowing accomplices of the evil forces that rule this world.

    I personally see only one solution: the disappearance of the universe of polarities. And more immediately the elimination of the human race from planet earth. This is of course nothing more than wishful thinking. All those who engage in reproduction are delivering their children in the hands of the evil forces that rule this planet in order to act as agents of evil.

  28. One month after President Kennedy’s assassination Harry Truman called for the CIA, which he created, to be stripped of its covert action arm and returned to the information clearinghouse function he originally planned for the agency to perform.
    Dulles tried unsuccessfully to persuade Truman to disavow his WaPo column and inserted a forged document stating that the former president had retracted his earlier statement and put the forgery in the official record.

    State responsibility pre-empts CIA’s trick of ultra vires crime by “rogue” spooks and assigns responsibility to arms-length entities with state functions (like VIP blackmailer Epstein.)

    CIA ran and hid from the Rome Statute but the world is codifying Nuremberg Principles so they’re not losers-only bullshit. The world is beefing up universal jurisdiction law to remove statue of limitations for grave crimes (fun fact: CIA rigged federal law so its Black-Site torturers could hide for 3 years and skate.)

    So CIA are criminals in universal jurisdiction, everywhere except the USA, where they are your totalitarian rulers. We gotta hang these fuckin psycho assholes, from Marlowe on down, when CIA loses this WWIII they started, if not sooner. They’re gonna get us nuked.

    December 28, 2023 U.S. Intelligence: What Is America’s “Fourth Branch of Government” Up to?

    The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)was created in 1947 by Harry S. Truman, replacing the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) to investigate administrative and fiscal files without judicial authorization and with the initial philosophy of providing the President with a second point of view drawn up by civilians compared to that provided by the military of the National Security Agency (NSA).

    It seems highly likely that the largest percentage of the numerous on-line “fishing” expeditions I experience every damned day in attempts to defraud me financially in some way or another emanate from foreign lands, simply based upon the inaccurate or stilted use of the English language or its spelling. Of all these, the greatest number would logically originate from the world’s largest and most technologically advanced country outside the West, i.e., China. Often this is clear merely from the obvious and clumsy use of the blatantly phony links and/or purported email addresses.

    Think how super-saturated with fraud the cyber market place will soon become with so many new Chinese crooks able to set up new bases of operations in America itself! Think how competitive international cyber crime will become with China, India and Nigeria, amongst others, all exponentially expanding their “businesses” in hapless America. Meanwhile, all the US dot gov can add to the mix is ever more spying and “law enforcement” against its own people.

    That US. gov probably thinks that if it deliberately erodes all national borders at every level of activity, including massive physical occupation, it will simply take over what inevitably becomes a single global order dictated by itself. I’ve got a clue for such fools: you are not as smart, persistent or self-sacrificing as 1.5 billion Chinese who have finally burst their chains of repression whilst the West has become nothing but progressively more decadent, lazy and disconnected from the slightest notion of what’s in “the public interest.” These tendencies are most conspicuous in the American black or POC communities who, led by the Jewish Pied Pipers, have created an ephemeral and ultimately doomed mass hallucination of the “Black Santa” squaring all the books with the demonic “Whitey.” In reality America will end up strangled by its own self-interests and greed.

    The psycho situation didnt begin with ‘cia, the cons monotheism scheme was the fat destablizer, their ‘govt con is twin vile, so also before ‘cia, note first part of ‘first amendment’, then search ‘kol nidre’ lying, then search around ‘bible, which contains plan to murder everyone and earth. Not pointing where. We forget what our lives were before, which varied from semi stable to sometimes less stable but not the terr covering earth now, not only because of the psycho cons, but because of those who selfishly focus on fake ‘money, and ignore blatant threat.

    *Real life reminder, the first thing each of us is to do every day is ask who’s trying to destroy us or our territory, and engage, alert others, tribe. Should pass along so others think.

    Focus shouldnt be on trying to stop supposed destablilzing, of what is fake polite, it should be on us ‘destablizing’ threat, regain real personal responsibility, in other words be real, stop meaningless polite talk, use real talk and sharing fact around us, in real life.

    The cons are half the problem, the other half is people ignoring over-destabilized false existence, these days particularly as people refuse to see smiley females as pyscho murderers, fraud ‘wars, ‘covid tyrany, in-migration, as people sit because -murderers wear dresses. Stupid. Here’s a thing, the cons bred themselves to have almost no front lobe, thats where sense of right and wrong is. They deliberately make spawn to be same, so they ‘blend in’ doing fake ‘family’ act, ‘state cons ‘media cons etc. They cant breed so they make the next terrsts from dna, with incubators, and also use stupid surrogates. Point, bogus hair and clothes and ‘lipstick is costume, same as bizness suits.

    Back to fake life point, comparatively, actions to make good semi-instabity or real life, should be seen as good, if we do it, to make real life. If there wasnt ‘govt or ‘court cons or ‘police cons or ‘media cons or scum ‘doctor dictators or religon cons pushing ‘obey, then threats would be much less, because people would be responsible, by making it that way. Natural law requires effort. Imagine, freely go out every day and defend territory and future, instead of ‘police threatening us –so we’re destroyed by their ‘state co-con cabal. There is zero dif between ‘cia and ninety percent of ‘state and ‘county cons. Same cabal.

    Nothing changed in a milion years, except selfish ignorance, letting psychos scribble paper to claim themselves dictators then get big weapons. That is the ‘destabilizing’, because we dont – destabilize -their psycho destabilizing.

    For the CIA, or Russian officials, or the Jews, the terms Nazi and Bolshevik are just useful trigger words to distract politically minded citizens with battles of the past.

    I guess that the CIA fits neither camp because their only idea is to maintain and increase their power. They’re not ideologues but they will cynically deploy the language to advance their goals. But if I’m wrong about that then they must be much closer to communism. I don’t think Putin was wrong when he compared present day USA with Russia a century ago.

    Thank to Mr. Sachs for mentioning the CIA’s actions against the Serbs. This is usually overlooked, just as Serbia is often overlooked in the list of countries that were attacked and bombed by the US as if it was something normal. Those events created precedents for many things that happened later and until now, and above all for ignoring the UN and Congress so that the deep state could militarily attack anyone who was considered not subservient to them.

    The CIA twice staged the identical bombing of civilians in the market in Sarajevo, so that the second one would be funny if it were not sad. The first time was an alleged Serbian shell from a distant mountain that fell on the market where the cameras were already ready and which registered the explosion of the previously planted bomb under the counter.

    This was used for a reckless media campaign to impose multi-year total sanctions on Serbia, even though it is another country, with which even Yeltsin’s Russia agreed. It was very similar to the events after the Sarajevo assassination of Gavrilo Princip.

    The second time, all the same was repeated to justify the bombing of the Serbs in Bosnia, since the Muslims were in bad military standing despite the American aid. After that, there was a CIA staging of the alleged killing of civilians by the Serbian army in Kosovo, where corpses were dragged from various sides and disguised as killed civilians to be shown on television.

    That was the reason for the three-month relentless bombing of Serbia, for which around 1000 planes were used. There was no mention of it either then or later, and not even now in the articles of Chris Hedges, the Balkan chief of the NYT at the time, who led media satanization of Serbs and who now writes about Gaza.

  85. Republished from Common Dreams – The last paragraph is incredibly naive, dare I say – ignorant, or feigning ignorance. It’s not the CIA only, there is the ‘intelligence community’, which includes other US agencies, private firms, the ‘allies’, the special relationship with Israel, which includes partnership in spy matters, the Five Eyes, probably many things that have never been announced, including the development and use of AI for spying/military activity, oh and that reminds me that the CIA is very closely linked to the US military!
    Creating chaos around the world is part of what makes the US the number one country, because power comes from authority, and authority comes from rude force. Makes English a world language, makes a US professor in economics a world famous figure, whose articles on other topics are being read as ‘important’, etc.
    So if you are against that, first you are an isolationist, second you have to explain what is the alternative. Is there an alternative at all, because all spy agencies are basically doing the same thing, but not on the same scale as those of the US. What would the USA look like like in 50 years if everything is being ‘honest’ and according to ‘the law’ (whatever that is, and it changes all the time).
    One thing that gives away the game is the total omission of any mention of Israel, or the current goings-on in Gaza, where the USA/CIA is fully involved. Come on, you can’t be THAT ignorant!

So many people sweep under the carpet the grim aspects of reality and or our societies, and prefer to live in a fantasy world, which makes it hard to change the current reality.

    Most of the times I have not much to complain about in my personal life, compared to most other people at least in my age group (though I have gone through hard times psychologically in the past and that has marked me). I live in comfort, in a nice house with lots of space, I currently have a companion who is exceptionally sincere with a heart of gold (though this was not always the case). But I could at any time face a calamity that will turn the tables on me, end up having a brain stroke, or be hit by a car and end up in a wheelchair, or get cancer, and I am not taking my current situation for granted. I don’t see death itself as a calamity but rather the slow rot and especially a prolonged agony preceding death.

I feel like shining a bit of light in our darkest month, because F-K IT. I also create beauty in my neighborhood in the other months by landscaping my lot passionately.

    May you add some beauty as well, fren.

    All I knew about that Balkan war was that Serbia was the good guy and the other countries, especially Albania ( shudder) and Bosnia were the bad guys.

    Because…… the New York Times Washington Post San Francisco Examiner Atlantic New Republic Time Newsweek all the idiot intellectuals pundits movie stars politicians all claimed Serbs were evil genocidal monsters and rapists.

    Going by my tried and true always correct infallible method I figured the Serbs were the good guys and all the quality media useful idiot intellectuals who pontificated and punditized were lying about the Serbs.

    Turned out the Serbs were the good guys. So Chris Hedges was one of the liars writing about the bad Serbs and good Bosnians. Why am I not surprised? I seem to have an instinct for lying liberals. I never heard of him until he was featured on UNZ. Just the headline and first paragraph I knew what Hedges is. An anti White race traitor woke faggot liberal.

    So you agree with affirmative action discrimination against Whites???? Something all 3 Kennedy brothers ardently favored? Go to hell forever and ever amen you anti White race traitor. And you believe White American politicians should swear feudal fealty to Israel and gladly put the Israeli AIPAC leash around their necks?? You are anti White and pro Zionist Israel.

    I’m pro White and anti Zionist Israel. My politics are Spanish style style facism the greatest White men of the 20 th century were General Franco and Sirhan Sirhan all 5’4 125 pounds of him who stood up to the alliance of American politicians and Zionists.

    You like most baby boomers and older are a brainwashed retard if you don’t know that all 3 Kennedys were anti White race traitors. The PR creation president Kennedy not only had written and joyfully signed EO 10925 but also created the program that brought the father of Barack Obama and both Marxist activist parents of Kamala Harris to America.

    I’m a White Nationalist and proud of it. You’re ignorant . You believe the mass media. You admire pro affirmative action and pro Zionist politicians.,

    So that’s why every newspaper and magazine writer in America repeated Kosovo good Serbia bad like the brainwashed zombies they are. Brains like a sink. Put in the plug turn in the taps and fill the empty sink with the latest propaganda.

    They did it to Hugo Chavez and tried with Castro, an operation in which CIA ‘asset’ Lee Harvey Oswald was engaged, peripherally.

    you are most obviously nothing but an illiterate troll, thinking that kind of shit will fly here. on a site like this, the archives will prove you to be a duplicitous troll, in regards to my comment history. you seem to think that waiting a couple days after my comment, will allow you to post such hasbara, disguised as “white nationalism”.

    fuck you, you “undercover” woman of unz (and zionist whore), i don’t even think you are the original alden, there is a change in your recent posts and writing style, that any that care to look at, will not be found in mine,…. into the mud, zionist whore queen.
