"This
is, in theory, still a free country, but our politically correct,
censorious times are such that many of us tremble to give vent to
perfectly acceptable views for fear of condemnation. Freedom of speech
is thereby imperiled, big questions go undebated, and great lies become
accepted, unequivocally as great truths." -- Simon Heffer Source: Daily Mail, 7 June 2000

"One
of the shrewdest ways for human predators to conquer their stronger
victims is to steadily convince them with propaganda that they're still
free." - N.A. Scott American author, intellectual, anti-totalitarian figure.

When "Good" Dictators Go Bad
By Norman Solomon
It
wasn't long ago that Hosni Mubarak's regime -- with all its repression
and torture -- enjoyed high esteem and lavish praise in Washington.
For Egyptians, the repression and torture went on; for the bipartisan
savants running U.S. foreign policy, the suppression was good
geopolitics. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article27490.htm

Egypt: Social Movements, the CIA and Mossad
By James Petras
The
Israeli's could not find any 'new face' with a popular following
willing to serve as a crass collaborator to colonial oppression. The
CIA had been entirely engaged in using the Egyptian secret police for
torturing terror suspects ("exceptional rendition") and in policing
neighboring Arab countries. As a result both Washington and Israel
looked to and promoted the military takeover to preempt further
radicalization. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article27494.htm

The Shame Of Being An American
By Paul Craig Roberts
On
February 15 "the indispensable people" had to suffer the hypocrisy of
the U.S. Secretary of State delivering a speech about America's
commitment to Internet freedom while the U.S. Department of Justice
(sic) brought unconstitutional action against Twitter to reveal any
connection between WikiLeaks and Bradley Manning, the American hero
who, in keeping with the U.S. Military Code, exposed U.S. government war
crimes. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article27492.htm

Haiti's Prisons "Collective Suicide"
Video Report By Frontline - PBS
The
conditions in the jails and prisons and detention centers are more
than appalling, and it really is a human rights violation to have
people in those conditions. I believe right now they have 58
[centimeters] per inmate, and they can't even sit down or lie down.
They have to stand up like sardines in those cells, and they have to
take turns in order for them to sit. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article27491.htm
