The US Civil War: The War of Financial Disobedience

By Larry Romanoff

 

Until 1968 the desertion rate for U.S. troops in Vietnam was lower than in previous wars. But by 1969 the desertion rate had increased fourfold. This wasn’t limited to Southeast Asia; desertion rates among G.I.’s were on the increase world-wide. For soldiers in the combat zone, insubordination became an important part of avoiding horrible injury or death. As early as mid-1969, an entire company of the 196th Light Infantry Brigade sat down on the battlefield. Later that year, a rifle company from the famed 1st Air Cavalry Division flatly refused — on CBS TV — to advance down a dangerous trail. In the following 12 months the 1st Air Cav notched up 35 combat refusals. Source

Fascism is a political ideology fundamentally authoritarian in character, with a strong nationalism and an essentially belligerent militaristic outlook. Fascism carries primarily a corporate perspective as opposed to a socialist view, directed to satisfying the needs, values and objectives of finance and corporations, organising both the economy and the political system according to this agenda. A fascist government actively suppresses any objection to its ideology and will crush any movement which opposes it. In keeping with their belligerent nature, fascist governments generally view violence and war as stimulants to national spirit and vitality. Being politically Right-Wing, they maintain their position through firm control or compliance of the media, and most often engage in a vast array of lies and deception. These governments tend to be bigoted, if not racist, invariably require "enemies" to achieve public solidarity, and are often supremacist or at least 'exceptional' in their self-assessment. They either believe, or pretend to believe, that they have a license on truth. Large military budgets, the creation and demonisation of fictitious enemies to propagate fear and maintain population control, are all typical characteristics of a fascist regime, as is massive public surveillance.

The Machinery of Terror

The Trump administration is consolidating the familiar machinery of terror of all authoritarian states. We must resist now. If we wait, it will be too late.

The Missing Link - by Mr. Fish

I have seen the masked goons who terrorize our streets before. I saw them during the “Dirty War” in Argentina, where 30,000 men, women and children were “disappeared” by the military junta. Victims were held in secret prisons, savagely tortured and murdered. To this day, many families do not know the fate of their loved ones.

Introducere

Prof. Jeffrey D, Sachs: Michael, vă mulțumesc foarte mult și vă mulțumesc tuturor pentru șansa de a fi împreună și de a gândi împreună. Aceasta este într-adevăr o perioadă complicată și în schimbare rapidă și una foarte periculoasă. Așadar, avem cu adevărat nevoie de claritate în gândire. Sunt deosebit de interesat de conversația noastră, așa că voi încerca să fiu cât se poate de succint și clar. Am urmărit foarte îndeaproape evenimentele din Europa de Est, fosta Uniune Sovietică, Rusia, în ultimii 36 de ani. Am fost consilier al guvernului polonez în 1989, al președintelui Gorbaciov în 1990 și 1991, al președintelui Elțin în 1991-1993, al președintelui Kucima al Ucrainei în 1993-94. Am contribuit la introducerea monedei estoniene.

Prof. Jeffrey D. Sachs: See on tõepoolest keeruline ja kiiresti muutuv aeg ning väga ohtlik. Seega vajame me tõesti selget mõtlemist. Ma olen eriti huvitatud meie vestlusest, seega püüan teha nii lühidalt ja selgelt kui võimalik.

Ma olen viimased 36 aastat väga tähelepanelikult jälginud sündmusi Ida-Euroopas, endises Nõukogude Liidus ja Venemaal. Olin 1989. aastal Poola valitsuse nõunik, 1990. ja 1991. aastal president Gorbatšovi nõunik, 1991. kuni 1993. aastal president Jeltsini nõunik ja 1993. kuni 1994. aastani Ukraina presidendi Kutšma nõunik. Aitasin kaasa Eesti oma valuuta kasutuselevõtule. Aitasin mitut endise Jugoslaavia riiki, eriti Sloveeniat. Olen jälginud sündmusi väga lähedalt 36 aastat.

BREAKING INTEL DROP – TRUMP MOVES TO PARDON EDWARD SNOWDEN: The Whistleblower Who Exposed the Deep State May Finally Come Home!

BREAKING INTEL DROP – TRUMP MOVES TO PARDON EDWARD SNOWDEN: The Whistleblower Who Exposed the Deep State May Finally Come Home! BOOM!!!

Trump shocks the Deep State by opening clemency talks for Edward Snowden — the NSA whistleblower who exposed illegal spying on American citizens. Led by DNI Tulsi Gabbard, this bold move could rewrite the rules of justice, freedom, and national loyalty.

THE COMEBACK OF A PATRIOT

In an unprecedented move, the Trump administration has entered active negotiations to pardon Edward Snowden, the former NSA contractor who exposed one of the most shocking government surveillance operations in American history.

According to high-level sources, these discussions are being led by none other than Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, a vocal supporter of constitutional liberties and longtime advocate for Snowden’s clemency.

Snowden, who has lived in exile for over a decade, may finally return home to the United States — as a free man and a national hero.

THE CRIMES HE EXPOSED — AND WHY IT MATTERS

Snowden didn’t sell secrets to enemies. He didn’t betray America. He exposed the treason happening inside her borders.

After the passage of the Patriot Act, the NSA launched illegal dragnet surveillance programs, spying on the calls, texts, emails, and online activity of millions of innocent Americans — all without warrants, without oversight, and without public consent.

This was not “national security.” This was a clear and brutal violation of the Fourth Amendment.

Snowden blew the whistle, and the Deep State called it treason. But the people? The people called it truth.

TRUMP’S BOLD STRIKE AGAINST TYRANNY

While past presidents ran from Snowden — afraid of the intel community, afraid of the media, afraid of the truth — Donald J. Trump is doing the opposite.

He’s leaning in. He’s challenging the very core of the surveillance-industrial complex.

And he’s doing it with Tulsi Gabbard at his side — a war veteran, constitutionalist, and now the Director of National Intelligence who understands that patriotism means standing for the people, not for unchecked power.

“Edward Snowden is not a traitor,” a White House source said.

“He is an American who had the courage to tell the truth.”

 NEW CHAPTER FOR WHISTLEBLOWERS AND LIBERTY

If this pardon is finalized, it will send a global message:

🔹 The era of weaponized secrecy is ending 

🔹 Whistleblowers are not criminals — they are guardians of truth 

🔹 The Constitution still matters 

🔹 The Deep State is not untouchable anymore

Tens of millions of Americans are rallying behind this move — and it may go down as one of Trump’s boldest acts of clemency yet.

THE PEOPLE HAVE DECIDED — BRING SNOWDEN HOME

 

Across platforms, hashtags like #PardonSnowdenNOW and #SnowdenIsAPatriot are trending as citizens demand justice — not for the agencies who broke the law, but for the man who told the truth.

The final act of this story is being written right now — and it could mark the beginning of the end for unchecked surveillance in America. Let freedom ring. Let Snowden come home.
