257 IGNORANCE

Brian Pearson (May 3) stated that "John Minto and those who share his views show an inexcusable ignorance of the nation of Israel's history". Brian should make himself more conversant with the early history of the emergence of the "Jewish State" in the late 1940s. I intensively studied this. There are many excellent books published on the topic, most of them even from Jewish secular historians themselves (some in exile because of death threats) .such as Arthur Koestler, Ilan Pappa, Benny Morris, Alan Hart etc. Zionist Fifth Column terrorists organisations illegally infiltrating the then British Mandate after WWII, hiding smuggled weapons in their Kibitzes, began driving out the indigenous Palestinian population. Zionists terrorism has continued to this very day in the occupied territories and Gaza. When a state perpetrates violent acts against a civilian population in defiance of international law and the United Nations Charter, it can be rightly classified as state terrorism, which is a far cry from democracy.

256 American Foreign Policy revealed on Camera

With regards to Secretary of State Pompeo's remarks that Iran was involved in the attack on the Saudi Arabian oil refinery (World 17/9), he quite honestly admitted the following in a speech before a CIA audience as caught on camera Quote: "We lied, we cheated, we stole if it was in the interest of the United States" He chuckled when he said it. He found it quite funny.

255 The Criminalisation of Journalism

The persecution of Julian Assange amounts to a criminalisation of investigative journalism and should therefore be profoundly condemned by all members of the profession. Revealing war crimes, holding governments accountable is what journalists are supposed to do and for the media to publish. It's one of the pillars of democracy and a free society. The Assange case is highly politicised and meant to discourage and penalise journalists and publishers to report and  bring to attention of the general public.the heinous war crimes perpetrated by the American military and her allies over the years. But we the public are not supposed to know. A ray of hope for Assange is that British law does not permit extractions on political grounds and that hopefully British law will prevail, so that Assange will not have to face a hanging judge before a Kangaroo Court in the United States of America.

254 FREE SPEECH UNDER ATTACK

Julian Assange seven years asylum in the Ecuadorian embassy is over and his extradition to the United States is eminent. Assange is an Australian citizen, not an American! Yet some US politicians and the mainstream western corporate media claim him guilty of treason, because he published official classified documents leaked to Wikileaks, revealing appalling American war crimes in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere in the world.  Assange has done only what every investigate journalist and editor is expected to do:i.e  revealing the truth! It is strictly impossible under the US Constitution  for reporting of facts to be spying. The function of the media is to expose and to hold  accountable the government.. Sadly this function is no longer performed by our ever more insouciant and compliant western news outlets. Free speech the  corner stone of  true democracy. no  longer exist and we should all be extremely concerned.

253 Venezuela's resources OIL

During a recent interview on Fox News Trump's top advisor John Bolton made a most revealing admission  that says it all. He said Quote: "It will make a big difference to the United States economy if we could have American oil companies invest in and produce the oil capabilities of Venezuela". There we have it. Another Iraq and Libya.

252 VENEZUELA for loot

With  regards th current Venezuelan turmoil there are two things that recent civil wars have in common: resources and US sanctions that are hitting ordinary people hard and causing protests. The United States doesn't care one bit about 'democracy', the plight of the Venezuelan people or any other country for that matter, when it discovers that beneath their feet there are plenty of resources available for loot. At the same time the US supports dictatorial regimes in Egypt, Saudi Arabia and elseweher in the world.
