... love for one's country which is not part of one's love for humanity is not love, but idolatrous worship."
~ Erich Fromm, American psychologist


What a beautiful quote and I do think there are a lot of people with this warped view of patriotism. These are the same people who think that sacrificing rights for safety is okay. That killing and torturing for safety is acceptable.

Where's the humanity?

I bet some of the would reply, "To hell with humanity! I want to be safe!"

That's just my assumption though.

I love my country but I'm not willing to sacrifice my integrity/morality/humanity or hers for some twisted sense of security and feeling of being the most powerful nation in the world.

I'd rather we be the weakest if it meant we at least had our integrity and strong sense of moral values to be proud of.

I'm glad that there are others who understand that Patriotism, itself, is a trap to abandon humanity. I can be proud of my country, but that doesn't mean beating up someone who claims the US was helping the coup in Honduras to oust an actual reformer.

People that can start a war for resources in Iraq -- and harm those people, could do such a thing here. The only difference is opportunity, and a flimsy veil of rationalization.

What you would do to the least, you would do to anyone. Iraqis are not 2/3rds of a person.

I remember, along the trail of rationalizations, that we were fighting for Iraqi liberty, or Democracy. It quickly became spiteful, as people here felt like this notion was rejected by all the civil wars there. Then the "easy task" was in hind sight -- obviously, these people cannot be at peace, they've been at each other's throats for centuries.

I was actually for the war at first -- not that I believed the excuses. But I realized that the Iraqis could do better, and believed some of the hype. But "success" was never intended for Democracy there -- the people perpetrating the war didn't believe in Democracy here. They betrayed that nation's people repeatedly -- and then betrayed them again. Likely, a civil war was the goal, as this put pressure on the government to accept the Oil deals that were being offered.

To me patriotism implies that one is blind, by ignorance or choice, to the actually working of their country.

I put this on FaceBook, MySpace, and emailed it to some friends. I don't trust the media to spread the info. I think this needs to be a grassroots thing.

I'll try some alternative media outlets though, like Democracy Now!. Them are some good peeps

Edit: sent to Democracy Now!, Huffington Post (looks live they covered the story last year when she was threatened with jail time) so far...

I think everyone should start bombarding any news outlet they can think of with this story.

One more piece of info from the PDF file. Here she confirms what we all already knew to be true regarding getting dirt on everyone...officially called the 'hooking period'.

I was trained as a language specialist by my agent for -- to find personal
information, and one of the things that we was taught in the FBI -- everyone was taught in the counterintelligence -- that the target U.S. persons, whether they are in Congress or executive branch or whatever, first go by foreign entities to what they refer to as hooking period, and it was very common; it's a very common way of trying to find vulnerability, and that is sexual, financial, any other kinds of greeds, and it was -- it was done a lot, was being done a lot, and in some cases certain people from Pentagon would send a list of individuals with access to sensitive data, whether weapons technology or nuclear technology, and this information would include all their sexual preference, how much they owed on their homes, if they have gambling issues, and the State Department, high level State Department person would provide it to these foreign operatives, and those foreign operatives then would go and hook those Pentagon people, whether they were at RAND or some other Air Force base.

And then the hooking period would take some times. Sometimes it takes months, sometimes one year. ...


Everyone does it to everyone. I think there is not one person in power anywhere in the world that can't be had for the right price.

This is sickening. How can there be hope? We need some guys in 'white hats'. Hmmm, probably never were any guys in white hats.

Video 2 - about 12 min in. Very interesting... so Iran intelligence told US that Bin Laden will by flying planes into buildings and gave an approximate date. But US dismiss this intelligence and for last couple of years trying to start war with Iran over it's nuclear program.

I can't help but to think these 2 things have something to do with each other

Videos two and three are not working any longer,hope somebody downloaded them they may be gone. I'd like to see them doing what I can to get this video out.


They didn't work for me even after reloading, that is why I went to the PDF. Much faster read but it is good to see and hear the responses as well.
