Profound Quotes

"Neither is it that US foreign policy is cruel because American leaders are cruel. It's that our leaders are cruel because only those willing to be inordinately cruel and remorseless can hold positions of leadership in the foreign policy establishment; it might as well be written into the job description. People capable of expressing a full human measure of compassion and empathy toward faraway powerless strangers - (let alone American soldiers - do not become president of the United States, or vice president, or secretary of state, or national security adviser or secretary of the treasury. Nor do they want to." From 'Rogue State: A Guide to the World's Only Superpower' by William Blum

From "9-11, Six Years Later": "If one looks at the credentials of skeptics compared to the credentials of defenders of the official line, it is impossible to dismiss skeptics as kooks. There are many people with strong imaginations on the Internet, but serious skeptics stick to known facts, known violations of standard procedures and the laws of physics. The vast majority of the people who call skeptics "kooks" are themselves ignorant of physics and have little comprehension of the improbability that such an attack could succeed without either the complicity or complete failure of government agencies. " Paul Craig Roberts

"Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular? But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because one's conscience tells one that it is right." Martin Luther King, Jr.

Bush´s Russian Twin « Time to Think

Since Russia´s president is no longer a drunk, Washington is no longer amused by the country.

Whenever leaders of other countries are either weak or corrupt or ruthless oppressors of their own people, Washington loves them. When they show even the slightest concern for the well-being of their general population, they´ll get on the United States enemy list.

A “democratic” opposition will be financed. Washinton and George Soros will send it´s Trojan horse the private “National Endowment for Democracy”( NED) to do, what once used to be one of the CIA´s jobs, trying to start what nowadays is called a “color-revolution”.
Or terrorist groups will be armed and trained by the real CIA.
Or US intelligence will go searching for traitors in a country´s military for good old-fashioned coup, as just has been done in Honduras.

What exactly did the Honduran president do, to anger Washington and it´s Honduran stooges?
Alejandra Fernandez,a Honduran student is cited by Benjamim Drangl in Counterpunch:
