Indeed, it is the same with every country
that “telling the truth has been criminalized.”
This is because there is not anything more
inconvenient to people in power than truth.
If a law is properly applied, they cannot find any place to stay.
On the other hand, if people in power have
right to use a law, they misuse the law and make the country a police
state. If somebody gives a warning to
the people to prevent it, he/she is called a conspiracy theorist. In this way, the bad who crowd around power
to take the lion’s share maintain perfectly well-balanced relations with the
poor who never try to understand the truth and show indifferent attitude. If you want to change the world for better,
you have no other choice but to face your own foolishness within you.

What
Suffers Brave People Telling the Truth
----------------------------------------
(Excerpt from the above text)
Paul Craig Roberts
In America truth is offensive.
If you tell the truth, you are offensive.
--------------------
But how long before being offensive becomes
being “an enemy of the state”?

Throughout history truth tellers
have suffered and court historians have prospered. It is
the same today. Gerald Celente illustrates this brilliantly in the next issue of the Trends
Journal.

If you tell
readers what is really going on, they want to know why you can’t be positive. Why are you
tellingus that there are bad happenings that can’t be remedied? Don’t you know that God
gave Americans the power to fix all wrongs? What are you? Some kind of idiot, an anti-American, a pinko-liberal-commie? If you hate America so much, why don’t you move to Cuba, Iran or China (or to wherever the current bogyman is located)?
--------------------
In America and everywhere in the Western world or the entire world, telling the truth is
In America and everywhere in the Western world or the entire world, telling the truth is
unpopular. Indeed, in the USA telling the truth has been criminalized. Look for example at
Bradley Manning, held for two years in prison without bail and without a trial
in violation of the US Constitution, tortured for one year of his illegal
confinement in violation of US and international law, and now put on trial by
corrupt prosecutors for aiding “enemies of the US” by revealing the truth, as
required of him by the US military code. US soldiers are required to report war
crimes. When Bradley Manning’s superiors showed themselves to be indifferent to
war crimes, Manning
reported the crimes via WikiLeaks. What else does a soldier with a sense of
duty and a moral conscience do when the chain of command is corrupt?
Julian Assange is another example. WikiLeaks has taken
up the reporting function that the Western media has abandoned.
--------------------
Julian Assange stepped into the vacuum and was immediately demonized, not
merely by Washington but also by left-wing and right-wing media, including
Internet.
--------------------
Without WikiLeaks and Assange
the world would know essentially nothing. Spin from Washington, the presstitute
media, and the puppet state medias would prevail. So the word went out to
destroy Julian Assange.
--------------------
even
though he has been granted political asylum by Ecuador, the British government,
obeying its Washington master, refuses to allow him safe passage out of the
London Ecuador Embassy.
--------------------
In contrast with “freedom and
democracy” US and UK, the “authoritarian,” “communist,” “oppressive” Chinese
government when confronted with Chinese dissident Chen Guangcheng’s defection
to the US embassy in Beijing, let him go.
--------------------
Insouciant americans are undisturbed
that alleged terrorists are tortured, held indefinitely in prison without due
process, and executed on the whim of some executive branch official without due
process of law.
--------------------
The world needs intelligence and
leadership in order to avoid catastrophe, but america can provide neither
intelligence nor leadership. America is a lost land where nuclear weapons are in the hands of
those who are concerned only with their own power. Washington is the enemy of
the entire world and encompasses the largest concentration of evil on the
planet.
Where is the good to rise up
against the evil?
