Assange Hammers
America on Selective Outrage Over US Backing for Ukraine's Neo-Nazis Suddenly
America does not like Nazis? Who knew?
Assange has it completely right about America’s long and
quiet support for Ukrainian neo-Nazis, vicious characters who’ve done some real
killing, compared to all the press and noise over a few historical statues in
Charlottesville.
American official hypocrisy is beyond describing.
And in this morning's news, the Syrian Foreign Minister also
tells us about how Syrian soldiers have just discovered a cache of chemical
weapons - grenades and such - almost certainly supplied by the US and UK
judging by their markings. The very kind of chemical weapons used as an
American government excuse for attacking Syria.
Readers interested in the Ukrainian neo-Nazis supported by
America may see pictures here:
And there are so many other instances of gross hypocrisy,
including great patches of American history.
Thomas Jefferson - who is on Mount Rushmore, has a huge
memorial in Washington, has plaques all over, and has streets and schools named
after him - was one of the more reprehensible characters in America's founding.
He was a far darker character than some of the Confederate
figures they are going on about in the Charlottesville events, figures like
Robert E Lee or Jefferson Davis.
Jefferson kept over two hundred slaves to his dying day,
wrote openly in his "Notes on Virginia" of black inferiority, advocated
states' rights almost to the point of promoting secession long before the
Confederacy, had a young black slave (starting at her age of 13, Sally Hemmings)
as his mistress, had children by her, and did many terrible things during his
time as president including actually supporting Napoleon's forces fighting the
slave revolt in Haiti.
