Paul Craig Roberts
On July 23 I wrote about how the US reversed roles with the USSR and became the tyrant that terrifies the world. We have now had further confirmation of that fact. It comes from two extraordinary actions by Washington’s British puppet state.
David Miranda, the Brazilian partner of Glenn Greenwald, who is reporting on the illegal and unconstitutional spying by the National Stasi Agency, was seized, no doubt on Washington’s orders, by the puppet British government from the international transit zone of a London airport. Miranda had not entered the UK, but he was seized by UK authorities. http://rt.com/op-edge/uk-gay-greenwald-freedom-police-679/ Washington’s UK puppets simply kidnapped him, threatened him for nine hours, and stole his computer, phones, and all his electronic equipment. As a smug US official told the media, “the purpose was to send a message.”
You might remember that Edward Snowden was stuck for some weeks in the international transit zone of the Moscow airport. The Obama tyrant repeatedly browbeat Russia’s President Putin to violate the law and kidnap Snowden for Obama. Unlike the once proud and law-abiding British, Putin refused to place Washington’s desires above law and human rights.
The second extraordinary violation occurred almost simultaneously with UK authorities appearing at the Guardian newspaper and illegally destroying the hard drives on the newspaper’s computers with the vain intention of preventing the newspaper from reporting further Snowden revelations of US/UK high criminality.
It is fashionable in the US and UK governments and among their sycophants to speak of “gangster state Russia.” But we all know who the gangsters are. The worst criminals of our time are the US and UK governments. Both are devoid of all integrity, all honor, all mercy, all humanity. Many members of both governments would have made perfect functionaries in Stalinist Russia or Nazi Germany.
This is extraordinary. It was the English who originated liberty. True, in 1215 it was the freedom of the barons’ rights from the king’s infringement, not the freedom of the commoner. But once the principle was established it spread into the entire society. By 1680 the legal revolution was complete. The king and the government were subject to law. The king and his government were no longer the law and above the law.
In the 13 colonies the Englishmen who populated them inherited this English achievement. When King George’s government refused the colonies the Rights of Englishmen, the colonists revolted, and the United States was born.
The descendants of these colonists now live in an America where their Constitutional protections have been overthrown by a tyrannical government that claims it is above the law. This raw fact has not stopped the US government or its puppets from continuing to cloak the war crime of military aggression in the faux language of “bringing freedom and democracy.” If the Obama and Cameron governments were in the dock at Nuremberg, the entirety of both governments would be convicted.
The question is: are there sufficient brainwashed people in both countries to sustain the US/UK myth that “freedom and democracy” are attained via war crimes?
There is no shortage of brainwashed Americans who love to be told that they are
“indispensable” and “exceptional,” and therefore entitled to work their will on the world. It is difficult to discern in these clueless Americans much hope for the revival of liberty. But there is some indication that the British, who did not inherit liberty but had to fight for it for five centuries, might be more determined.
The British Home Affairs Committee, chaired by Keith Vaz, is demanding an explanation from Obama’s lap dog, the British prime minister. Also, Britain’s watchman over anti-terrorism enforcement, David Anderson, is demanding that the UK Home Office and police explain the illegal use of anti-terrorism laws against Miranda, who is not a terrorist or connected to terrorism in any way.
Brazil’s foreign minister has joined the fray, demanding that London explain why the UK violated its own law and abused a Brazilian citizen.
Of course, everyone knows that Washington forced its UK puppet to violate law in order to serve Washington. One wonders if the British will ever decide that they would be better off as a sovereign country.
The White House denied involvement in Miranda’s kidnapping, but refused to condemn the illegal action of its puppet.
As for the UK’s destruction of press freedom, the White House supports that, too. It is already happening here.
Meanwhile, get accustomed to the police state: http://www.wnd.com/2013/03/now-big-brother-targets-your-fedex-ups-packages/

L.,

Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson just crossed a line.

This week, we launched a campaign to get climate change deniers like Senator Johnson to accept the science and take action to curb global warming.

Before the first day of the campaign was over, Senator Johnson responded by writing in an email:

“The League of Conservation Voters is not an organization with a balanced approach to a cleaner environment. They are an extreme left group on an environmental jihad.”
L., I don’t even know where to start. But let’s try this:


Senator Johnson’s rhetoric is extremely offensive -- both because of the anti-Muslim sentiment evoked by his inaccurate use of the term "jihad" and because of its intent to villainize our simple request for climate action. And his determination to block action to cut carbon pollution is even worse.

It’s true that we are spending $2 million to put ads on the air in four states across the country -- including Wisconsin -- to call out climate change deniers in Congress. And we did organize 16 successful, constituent-powered rallies on Tuesday at the district offices of climate change deniers like Senator Johnson.

But all we’re asking for is that decision-makers in Washington support common-sense action to protect our health, our environment, and our future.

Senator Johnson started attacking us before even seeing our ad, which only points out that:

  • He doesn’t believe in climate change;
  • He has taken a lot of money from the oil and gas industries;
  • He has voted against limiting the amount of carbon pollution that power plants can spew into our air.


As a member of Congress, Senator Johnson has the power to do something about the climate crisis before it’s too late. But instead he chooses to block environmental initiatives by reasoning that global warming is just “sunspot activity” and carbon pollution “gets sucked down by trees and helps the trees grow.”

That’s just wrong, 

It doesn’t matter whether you live in Wisconsin, Florida, or New York. We all will have to pay the consequences for the lack of action on climate change in Washington. And Big Oil-backed, climate-denying senators like Ron Johnson are responsible for it.
We can’t let him use name calling to distract from the damage he is doing by siding with polluters over people. So that’s why we’re asking every LCV supporter across the country to help us send Senator Johnson a message today: we expect him to change his stance on climate and we won’t back down.
Thanks for standing with us and speaking out today.
Best,
Vanessa
