On the Dulles Plan and American terrorism

Meanwhile, Dulles proved his commitment to anti-communism by heading for a long time one of the most specialized anti-communist organizations in the world, with a budget not inferior to that of the U.S. Army, the main task of which was the PLANNED BORDER against COMMUNISM in the USSR.

...

U.S. leaders and their military-political advisers openly declared that in both the Korean and Vietnam wars, American liberals and Democrats pursued the goal, above all, of destroying the COMMUNIST regimes in those countries, along with the populations that had tasted socialism. How, then, does the goal of American liberals differ from the goals of the fascists who raved about destroying Bolshevism?

...

“Methods of 'decisive action,' including, if necessary, assassination...financing underground organizations in Russia's satellite states...establishing insurgent gangs 'under American leadership'...assassinations of prominent Communists will be strongly encouraged...American agents, dropped by parachute, will coordinate anti-Communist activities....”

...

Experience has already shown that, in addition to their official activities, British and American diplomats carry on very active work in the USSR and the countries of the People's Democracies in which they are accredited, which is summarized in general terms as follows:

I. Organization of anti-government conspiracies and support for these purposes of anti-people, reactionary (including fascist) elements, representatives of bourgeois parties expelled from the political arena, and especially right-wing socialists.

II. Espionage, for which all these reactionary elements, including former Hitler agents, are widely used.

III. Diversionary, subversive and terrorist activities calculated to retard the economic development of the countries of the People's Democracies, weaken their defense capabilities, provoke discontent within the country, and hinder democratic reforms.

IV. Attempts to induce military psychosis, fear of an allegedly inevitable war in order to create a tense atmosphere of uncertainty and anxiety.

... Carl Gershman and Allen Weinstein. These were Reagan's advisers and the founders of the #Endowment. They very clearly calculated that official "assistance to the spread of #democracy" is good #business in itself, and it was with their firm hand that all these endless Institutes for the Study of War and Peace began to proliferate in the USA.

All one needs is snappy come-backs. I'm sure she can handle that.

Why Donald Trump Debating Kamala Harris Could Be a Disaster - Newsweekhttps://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-debating-kamala-harris-potential-disaster-1936911

Trying to debate with Donald Trump is pointless. It is like wrestling with a pig. All you get is a lot of squeaking, and you get dirty while doing so... Pointless...

"Walz is a progressive populist minus the anger"

A terrific choice, on all grounds

What a wonderful and wise pick!
The fact that the #GQP / #TrumpVirus #cult is already ballyhooing about his being 'ultra liberal' - a patriotic guardsman/teacher/advocate for climate, #truth, abortion rights/choice, & tolerance - is a great omen.

Even the bumper stickers are catchy "Harris/Walz". The jokes will write themselves about Drumpf & "Walls". ("I love Walz" - DJT)

Robert Reich: "A terrific choice, on all grounds"

And he calls out #weird too! 👍! Speaking as a real person who "sees things" (and believes them)... he will call out the crazy. Nicely.

Kamala Harris' statement:

"He grew up in a small town in Nebraska, spending summers working on his family’s farm. His father died of cancer when he was 19, and his family relied on Social Security survivor benefit checks to make ends meet. At 17, he enlisted in the National Guard, serving for 24 years. He used his GI Bill benefits to go to college, and become a teacher. He served as both the football coach and the advisor of the Gay-Straight Alliance.

I share this background both because it’s impressive in its own right, and because you see in no uncertain terms how it informs his record. He worked with Republicans to pass infrastructure investments. He cut taxes for working families. He passed a law to provide paid family and medical leave to Minnesotan families.

He made Minnesota the first state in the country to pass a law providing constitutional abortion protections after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, and as an avid hunter, he passed a bill requiring universal background checks for gun purchases.

But what impressed me most about Tim is his deep commitment to his family: Gwen, Gus, and Hope. Doug and I look forward to working with him and Gwen to build an administration that reflects our shared values.

Whether you are a supporter, a volunteer, a donor, a member of our staff or your name is on the ticket: you are part of the people-powered campaign that is going to defeat Donald Trump.

We are going to build a great partnership. We are going to build a great team. We are going to win this election."

Would #AI - Enabled #Communism Work?

In the United States, these costs include rising #monopolization of the tech sector, because control of data creates entry barriers, and the development of #business models based on constant online engagement and individualized digital ads, which breed emotional outrage, #extremism, and echo chambers online, with damaging effects for democratic participation.

Polish Foreign Ministry suggests Hungary leave EU, NATO after Orban's controversial statements

"I do not understand why Hungary wants to remain a member of organizations that they dislike so much and that supposedly mistreat them. Why does he (Orban) not form a union with Putin and with some authoritarian states of this type?" Bartoszewski said.

"It is the principle that if you do not want to be a member of some club, you can always withdraw. Certainly, this is an anti-EU, anti-Ukrainian, anti-Polish policy at the moment."
