“If the US lived up to the standards as practiced in places like Cuba,
and so adored by truthdiggers, Truthdig would be off the air.”  rico

Similarly, if Truthdig required verified identity and accuracy of
blogs, “rico,” would be off Truthdig.

European visitors to Cuba report amazing openness of criticism of
Cuban government officials, the opposite of disinformation provided by
the USGOV, regurgitated by “rico.”  However, Europeans are disgusted
by the caste system in Cuba, similarly represented in the USA by six
socio-economic strata. However, socio-economic strata 2 through 5 are
being removed by the NAZI/CIA/Zionist economics, currently championed
by “B. H. Obama.”.  Only stratum 1 the rich, and stratum 6 the poor,
will remain in the USA.  Unless the American Citizenry take control.

Once again,rico astounds with his lack of intelligence. We send more ” run of the mill” citizens to prison than any other nation on the planet : 3,000,000 and counting- and by the way 75 percent of them for ridiculous drug charges.

Hillary is a hypocrite. The US invaded Iraq (based on the WMD lies) which has resulted in the deaths of over one million Iraq civilians. Hillary AND OBAMA VOTED OVER AND OVER AND OVER TO FUND THE CONTINUING WARS IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN. These wars are costing Iraqi, Afghanistan and American lives..and $$$$ of over 15 BILLION a month. The Obama administration has now extended the use of predatory drones to Somali, Pakistan and now Libya and Yemen. They have increased their use by the hundreds..and hundreds of civilians have also been incinerated.  So far..in Pakistan, the total is nearing 1000.

Guantanamo, extrajudicial rendition (kidnapping) and assassination.  The past and present U.S. governments wiping their ass with the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Hillary should STFU until we get our own house in order.

I would much rather read the inside story that „Miss Hilly“ would write
about the drug-running out of Mena, Arkansas, and how the profits were
divided.  For me, another topic would be the fifty years of the “Monica
Lewinskis” parading through “Mista William´s” extramarital life,
especially his visits in Germany, coordinated by former chancellor Kohl´s
“staff.” 

A third interesting area would be the rather long list of former
“friends, close acquaintances and USGOV personages,” from the time of the
governorship through the end of the presidency, who had unusual deaths. 
Airplanes blowing up in the sky – like that of J.F.K.Jr´s allegedly-
interest me.  Also folk who died unpredictably, or who were shot in the
head and whose bodies were deposited across town or on the edge of a
forest somewhere would be interesting. 

For me, perhaps the most interesting would be what “Miss Hilly´s”
“druthers” would have been, had she not committed to serving the
Rockefellers, her husband, herself, the Bushes and now the string-pullers
of the CIA personage, “Barack Hussein Obama” ?  Did she ever consider a
career in acting ?  She would have been superb !

War is a wonderful profit making machine - for the few, the Rich and Powerful, that is.

For the rest of us and the Blood Profiteers victims, it means only death, maiming, lost limbs, senses, sacrifice of our dreams, our future, burdened debt, and a future REASON for retaliation of the aggrieved.

And the Corporations that deal in Financing the wars, Arming the combatants, furnishing mercenaries, they never want to see a conflict end, it means the end of their profit stream unless they can get another one going.  Business Corporations that profit from taking the resources of other countries make out like the bandits they are also.

Then the Empire forces “payment” from the conquered.

Comparing the people killed by China, Russia, Iran, or any of the other bogey men identified by the war Industry spokespersons like Clinton is an exercise they definitely want to shy away from.  The result in black and white print presented to the public at large would be embarrassing indeed.

All Empires think they are invincible, incorruptible, and godly.  They are not.  And sooner or later it brings the Empire its demise.

“Look back over the past, with its changing empires that rose and fell, and you can foresee the future, too”.  Marcus Aurelius

Our enemies? LOL As a birthright citizen of the United States, I can state without equivocation that I have no enemies that are born human. I can say though that there are policies written and enacted in both the public and private sector that create “enemies” on paper for the sake of profit alone. How much money is expended maintaining these “gulags” and houses “our” enemies? And how much of that money expended is “profit” derived either through material markup or managerial fee’s and wages? The only enemy I recognize is companies and corporations and I have yet to see any of these that continually manipulate & violate laws and other regulatory standards, (RICO act defines as criminal enterprises) removed and entombed in these “gulags”. Higher material, natural resources and labor cost isn’t my enemy, it’s the enemy of profiteering. Cheaper oil doesn’t mean cheaper gasoline to the consumer, it means more profit and less cost for the profiteers. On the topic of brainwashing religions, another competitive corporal body for the sake of profit in numbers and tithes…... Wars aren’t waged unless there is a great deal of profit to be had… The number game…More is always better, less is good unless it’s bad.

Hey, Rico, where you bin all this time? There hasn’t been a progressive dream state since the Garden of Eden—if then.

At least we reserve “gulags” for our enemies. Progressive dream states like Cuba and Venezuela and Russia and China send run of the mill civilians to theirs for crimes as heinous as speaking truth to power. If the US lived up to the standards as practiced in places like Cuba, and so adored by truthdiggers, Truthdig would be off the air.

Hypocrisy. Pathetic.
