There aren’t words to describe Bolton, Frum et al. And how did priceless Iraqi artefacts of civilization wind up in Manhattan penthouses? See the Uber weasel Michael Steinhardt.
This is more sickening Mad Dog Albright-style “it was worth it” having 500,000 Iraqi women and children die. What could be more perfect? I despise these people who got their positions by replying to ads seeking subhuman primates? So now we know why the US refused to count Iraqi deaths and casualties , flouting international laws and agreements. It makes lying about the numbers that much easier.
Frum may have coined “axis of evil” but ever since he’s been the ass-kiss of evil, brown-nosing in war hawk circles and promoting the fictions about the Uighurs in China from CIA-funded Uighur expats, completely unaware of the heinous world-leading genocide of American Natives.
I was at the war frontier and then in savagely bombed Baghdad during the Gulf War as an international peace observer and saw massive civilian deaths and then witnessed people in desperation drinking from the heavily polluted rivers after the Americans bombed and destroyed the power source of the city's drinking water
Jack, there is no way to ‘like’ that written memory. I can only say how good it is that you posted it. I cannot say I remember what you just described, and I really tried to pay attention. The more of this we get reminded of now, the better. Thank you.
Speaking of making lying about the numbers so much easier, I read earlier this morning that a compilation of 900 lies by Bush administration officials about Iraq disappeared about two years ago from the archives of the Center for Public Integrity.
After a flurry of enraged/ accusatory emails, someone got back to the emailers and said, basically, it was a mistake, and either they’ll be retrieved, or they won’t.
They don't necessarily think it's the "right thing to do". It is for them, though, and that's what matters. And also proves the populace is too stupid to know the difference.
For me, any question of Bolton's sanity was removed during his exchange with Stella Assange on the Peirs Morgan show. It was the first time I'd heard him debate another person and the visceral hate he exudes, even while laughing, is palpable. He is the real personification of a James Bond villain while the West panics over caricatures of Putin.
Not a James Bond villain, a “regular guy” in the halls of political and corporate power. These are the people leading the US no matter who is elected. They are Cheney spawned and Biden fed. All underwritten by our corporate CEO’s especially the Koch’s and the Mercers. Psychopaths all. The only silver lining here is that they ARE still visible, and haven’t gone down the memory hole. Sunlight is a disinfectant. On a lighter note—did you see how the drag queens in NYC routed the Proud Boys? Lordy, there IS a god and She is pissed!!
Glad you mentioned Cheney, Jean. Perhaps the most dangerous member of the group of Albright, Bolton, Wolfowitz, Perle, Nuland, Pompeo, Clinton (the Queen bee of death) and almost anyone who assisted in the administration of US crimes from Lyndon Johnson onwards. At times like this, one can still remember the privileged White House group watching 'the great charade'…...Bin Laden’s body being dumped into the sea. A classic.
A special Hans Christian Andersen production. Then there’s JFK (Johnson), 9/11 (Bush), Laos, Cambodia (Johnson/Nixon), WMD (Bush again) and on it goes.
Having just completed re-reading the books of Chalmers Johnson,"The last Days of American Republic" and "Blowback", the crimes so well documented in The "Host and the Parasite" by Greg Felton and the Patriot Act comment "Extreme Prejudice" by Susan Lindauer, I have to ask how could all these crimes occur; just when did American values start to decline; the disgrace that was Iraq and all that meant; how a person like Clinton is not in prison instead of probably throwing her hat into the US election ring in 2024; why Bush has not been charged by the ICC with a death score of up to two million people during his reign.
Still free and lauded at public gatherings. A frightening thought.
But Julian Assange is still in prison.
Here in little Australia we have just indicted an ex-SAS soldier who served in Afghanistan for having shot one, ….just one unarmed Afghan in that disgraceful exhibition of US stupidity, Australian stupidity being the same as US stupidity...all tarred with the same brush that is, Anglo by biological inheritance, Christian in the main, white in colour and Western in thinking and self-deluded as exceptional. The qualities required for being part of the master race, similar to the Netanyahu Jews, known (certainly not affectionately) as 'the chosen people'. Where do we get these gross ideas?
The world as it is now must be sheeted home to Presidents like Bush, Obama, Biden, Trump and their needs to employ people with the characteristics of the above. When you add to that the UK’s Blair, and US sycophantic prime Ministers in Canada, then in Australia, dipping their lid to all, yes, even as far back as the 1960’s to a Lyndon Johnson, a Zionist-supporting criminal if ever there was one in that role, we have a world that allows the greatest of all crimes to go unpunished….like Bush / WMD.
Ask the remaining crew members of the USS Liberty, the trigger for the expansion and inhumane crimes by Israel since 1967, still under way as part of the great Israel objective, “Eretz Israel”. Still so today, but even more arrogant than in the past. They learnt all their tricks and now control everything the US does.
One crime creates the accepted climate for the next one to follow, until in the end, the first one is not really a crime at all, but the norm. And so on it goes from there. No way back..
Yes. So true and so heartbreaking. And maddening. As we have both lived thru these events you’ve described ( are you really in your 70’s? ) I’m sure we’ve been looking for the “cause” of this spiral down into our present ugly state for many years. Myself, I blame Truman with commissioning the CIA which lead to the security state doing most of the things you’ve described. Including elevating Israel (cynically) so we could have a bulwark against the Arabs in the Middle East as we went in to take over British oil interests. And of course who were those criminals but the glorious winners of the WW2, hailed by Europe as heroes. So it goes back a long ass way. And yet is no different from the killing off of the Natives, the importing of slaves, the oppression of women in a new constitutional state for “free men” etc etc etc that goes back to the very foundation of my country. In the end, I think its just patriarchy in a new toga, throwing out the monarchies and using a new excuse—free men—to make war in order to get rich and be dominant and be “elite”. And we have followed that nightmare, calling it a dream, to its bitter end, winding up with tools of war that could end life on this planet and tools of convenience that are ending life on this planet. We need a new paradigm and I think it has to be Mother Earth based, with lots of personal spiritual growth, and lots of cooperative sentiments and ideals. But it’s gonna take a miracle to get there. In the meantime, eat cake and keep the fires burning. The Phoenix is bound to rise from them sometime.
I shiver every time I here "Global Interest", or "Global Stakes". Like they have a right to utterly destroy entire countries and cultures. The most despicable is this Bolton scum.
Bolton... One of the most disgusting, psychopathic swamp creatures to ever grace the airwaves with his relentless war-mongering. I can only surmise that the man must be getting some sexual gratification out of the constant "war, war, war". I so hope that he is fully vaxxxed and quadruple boosted. May his end be swift and painful. This ghoul is what passes for a security "expert" today.
Thank you ! Fortunately the entire Earth population is grasping the need for multipolarity and a coming defeat of Nazi-dominated US puppet government of Ukraine
Indeed, despite the intimidation and corruption the US imposes on all those folks. It's just that the fine line between when it works and when it stops working seems to have been reached, and the intimidated can no longer afford being that.
Deep State and Dems are in absolute panic about Trump candidacy in 2024.
DeSantis issued a very poor/weak defense of the latest (threat of Trump arrest) legal outrage – essentially eliminating itself as a serious 2024 candidate.
The only and the best solution for DeSantis and for the US democracy is to issue a statement that
-– he will not run in 2024 elections but
-- that he will be honored if Trump selects him as VP.
I think anyone who believes this anniversary is something to be proud of or celebrate is one sick delusional bunny. Which also ties in with having psychopaths like Bolton in positions of significant power and influence. If we are to change as a society then we desperately need to change the selection process for both voted and unelected positions of government. The whole culture of climbing the slippery ladder and getting ahead in politics, the military and governing bureaucracy actually cultivates an environment of advancement of narcissistic psychopaths to thrive upon. The system is broken beyond repair and there is nothing to hold these individuals in check or accountable. For our species to evolve we need to change the selection and advancement process of those whom we chose to lead us by a different process focusing on different core values.
Bolton represents BOTH parties. And, like those parties, is not remotely interested in the people of any country whatsoever, except as a means to exerting power and inflict punishment and death in that quest. A broad sweeping statement, I know, but I see nothing to contradict it.
I do not think that many, if any at all, of our "elected" officials and the people who are appointed by those "elected" officials, think of themselves as "public servants" in any way. In fact, they consider we the people as their servants. IMO, our government has not been Constitutional for a long, long time, Or democratic. I put elected in quotes because our elections are really the equivalent of a prix fixe menu composed by madmen and corporations.
Agree 100%. We have so many suspected psychopathic serially abusive types in power it really gives us pause. And this seems to appear everywhere in our culture today across the planet. It is not at all limited to the USA.
Nothing makes me feel sleazier as an American than for the likes of Bolton to: a) be roaming free--uncharged for their crimes against humanity; and b) that they remain "credible experts" in world affairs.
Mass Murdering Sociopaths one and all! The only solution is as I have said before put them on trial, feed them a shitty meal and put them in a Guillotine face up to see it coming!
Thank you Carbon, I love this!!! It makes me feel better and appeals to my rage inside. I would never do it—I’m not sacrificing my karma for their just reward—but I would feed them shit if I could!! And don’t take a breather. I most love the face up part.
O ya. But who are you proposing as “honest” to run such a trial? Plus, we are already in the mud with him! We—most of the western world—went right along with him and his handlers for years. These guys don’t come out of nowhere, wrest power from “good people” and implement their horror shows without massive compliance from the Sheeple. Who bleat loudly whenever a true conscience expresses some true rage and looks beyond pointless liberal solutions to find a true radical solution.
Why not answer the question? What honest tribunal? Not that it would matter—I’m pretty sure that since you don’t know the difference between a stated point of view and a personal—and passive aggressive btw—retort, you’re not going to know anything about honesty in the judiciary. 😝
I am ex military. A disabled Nam Vet who has been in the mud. Watched 48 of my fellow sailors friends and co-workers get killed needlessly. All the while pieces of shit like this Bolton sat sipping poor people's blood (or whatever a piece of filth like that drinks). I have had enough of war. I don't watch war movies I don't read history of past wars because the answer is NO FUCKING WAR! I could give a shit what some psycho fuck chose as their given method of killing innocent people I am purely stating my method of killing the filth in control of continuing wars.
Good on you and my deepest sympathy. I was honored to be able to help a guy my age dodge the draft by playing so gay they rejected him. Another guy, we let him use our apt to hide in on his way to Canada. I wish I could have helped you. I won’t thank you for your service but I do honor you for your continued fire. Vets can have a bigger voice in the no war world. Thank you.
I know, and I love you guys. Many years ago the Vets Against War marched in Portland’s Rose parade and got a standing ovation. I doubt it would happen today, such is the creeping weenie-azation of the Liberal middle class.
What is fascinating is that under the same circumstances many of us humans become Gestapo. "They" have us under their spells until they don't. The Sethian Gnostics have some interesting theories on all this. Give them a read. Certainly Humans have no consensus on what is really going on, otherwise we would not have allowed it for 1000s of years???
When you keep in mind that the west was built on violent settler colonialism, trans Atlantic slavery, racism, the eradication of native people, etc, it all starts to make sense.
Hitler looked up to the US for its handling of its native population and used that as inspiration for the Holocaust. The precursors to modern day fascism have been with us since the beginning of the west.
The violence of white supremacism is the common denominator between all these wars of choice and “good interventions”.
Not White supremacism, that is a canard meant to create more war... it is Gangster supremacism. Until we demand our "leaders" stand in the front lines with the cannon fodder we will never rid ourselves of the Watchers.
Nice job, Caitlin. Insightful and well-written, as usual. The warmongers are trying to prevent any comparison to the current situation in Ukraine, claiming that they don't always get things horribly wrong and that instigating war and regime-change isn't necessarily bad and can even have long-term positive results. Too bad most of us can see the propaganda machine in panic right now as their Ukraine narrative continues to dissolve before their very eyes. Also, the fact that Bolton thought he'd be taken seriously as a 2024 presidential candidate attests to his inability to see himself clearly. And yes, he is probably encouraged by the MSM attention he gets, clueless to the dying credibility of that segment of "information" reporting.
It's always the detraction excuse, "well I shot at him 5 times and missed" is the excuse for the 6th bullet that killed him every time with this filth.
The famine caused by allied annexation of Iran during WW2 caused a million Iranian deaths. We stole their railways and Iran couldn't transport their grain. Not a word of apology. So let's just invade again eh?
People like Chomsky, Ritter, Greenwald etc. get pushed off to places that largely out of public view while the likes of Bolton are constantly held up as authoritative experts as if they had a track record that was worthy of admiration.
Thank you Caitlin! You are such a treasure, the best of us!! A Joan of Arc for Peace and Plowshares. I wonder how you keep going? I hope the world sees you as the key Truthteller for Solidarity. Please KEEP ON FIGHTING!

I’ll like it. It fits with other first hand accounts.
Jack, there is no way to ‘like’ that written memory. I can only say how good it is that you posted it. I cannot say I remember what you just described, and I really tried to pay attention. The more of this we get reminded of now, the better. Thank you.

You can’t make this stuff up.
Thanks. I had missed that but not hugely surprised. I’ve seen xeroxed $3 bills with more integrity.
What we could figure out is "HOW" these folks come to believe that what they do is "the right thing to do". What do they "know" that we don't?
They don't, they're just more skilled at manipulation.
In fact, when you talk to such people, it is remarkable how little they believe in anything, other than their own self-aggrandizement.
They don't necessarily think it's the "right thing to do". It is for them, though, and that's what matters. And also proves the populace is too stupid to know the difference.

May her righteous rage prevail!
🤗🥳👹
Note that a few years ago, calling the United States an "empire" (which it is) would have resulted in a stream of tut tutting from the bluecheck set.
Now they proclaim it proudly.
I shiver every time I here "Global Interest", or "Global Stakes". Like they have a right to utterly destroy entire countries and cultures. The most despicable is this Bolton scum.

Heaven help the planet.
don't forget Paul Wolfowitz, so bad he even got chased out of the WorldBank
Thank you ! Fortunately the entire Earth population is grasping the need for multipolarity and a coming defeat of Nazi-dominated US puppet government of Ukraine

"This man is a monster who belongs in a cage, but instead he's one of the most influential voices in the most powerful country on earth."
This subsumes the entire article and nothing more needs to be said.
We need to start changing this civilization, now.
