[GPSCC-chat] War Crimes

[Spencer Graves]

Hello, Brian, et al.:


       Thanks, Brian, for this.  If enough of the humans calling hear 
things like this, they might begin to work for positive change.


       I will outline here my plan for dealing with this, in the hopes 
that you or others would like to volunteer to help:


1.  BACKGROUND:


             1.1.  The earliest, most obvious event in US history 
similar to what you describe was when President Washington sent US tax 
money to plantation owners in Haiti to help them suppress a slave 
rebellion during the French revolution.  I do not criticize Washington:  
There were slaves in all 13 original states at that time, and the union 
might not have survived if he had done anything different.  More 
generally, the primary constituency for foreign policy in any nation are 
people who have routine business interests elsewhere.   These people 
want, and have routinely received, US support for state terror from 
virtually every administration in US history.  The only restraint on 
that is the need to invent an acceptable myth to support that.  From 
1946 to 1991, this policy was packaged under the rubric of the Cold War. 
Since 2001, it has been packaged as a "War on Terror".  However, it is 
essentially the same policy followed by President Washington in sending 
US tax money to plantation owners in Haiti in the 1790s.  It's time we 
grow up.


             1.2.  The consolidation in ownership of the media in the 
1980s and 1990s led to massive reductions in investigative journalism.  
This has contributed to runaway inflation in in the cost of getting 
elected to high public office, funded by runaway inflation in crony 
capitalism / welfare for the wealthy.  A partial analysis of this 
appears under "The Crisis in US Politics & Economics" at 
occupy.pbworks.com (http://occupy.pbworks.com/w/page/47721637/FrontPage).


2.  EFFECTIVE DEFENSE AND U S FOREIGN POLICY


              2.1.  I believe the weight of the available evidence 
indicates that the US has no substantive enemies on the international 
stage other than ones we have earned by supporting state terror in 
opposition to liberty and justice for all.


             2.2.  I founded "effectivedefense.org" to try to organize 
in one place the best and most conservative evidence supporting this 
claim.  One idea is to create a table on the web of all the members of 
the United Nations with a brief summary of what is well documented about 
previous US intervention in their internal affairs and their potential 
impacts for good or bad with links to what experts across the political 
spectrum have to say about it.  I believe we can show that the US has no 
substantive enemies on the international stage, we can get more traction 
with talking about the fraudulent nature of the war on terror.

       Best Wishes,
       Spencer
